Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the quality of the fish and chips, particularly the crispy batter that perfectly coats the fish. Many find the large portions to be outstanding value for the price, especially the large cod served with medium chips for around £15.
The Ocean Blue burger has garnered a loyal following, frequently described as a must-try by regulars. Many diners appreciate the friendly service, noting that the staff consistently provide a relaxed and welcoming experience. The dog-friendly policy allows patrons to bring their furry friends, adding to the overall charm of the venue.
Families appreciate the children's menu options, designed to cater to younger diners with fun and tasty selections. The free street parking nearby is a significant perk, allowing easy access for those driving in.
Most Disliked
Some patrons wish for more comfortable seating; the casual setup prioritizes takeout and quick meals. As it’s not designed primarily for dine-in experiences, it may feel less cozy for those looking to sit and relax for a long meal. Wait times during peak hours can be longer than expected, especially on weekends, so planning around busy times can help. Others have expressed a desire for more variety in vegetarian dishes beyond the current offerings, hoping for more meat-free menu items to suit diverse diets.
A few reviews mention the occasional inconsistency in the food preparation, particularly during rush hours when the kitchen may be working at full throttle. However, overall, feedback tends to emphasize the quality of the food more than any minor flaws.
