Great place for Fish & Chips. Call ahead and make sure they will have some. Tell them Margaret & Howard sent you. Keri-Lynn (behind the bar) may seem grumpy.... but she is really such a lovely kind soul. The atmosphere is so unique and the Fish and Chips oh so fresh!!! Its our favourite early dinner date place... Play a game of pool and check out all the photos!

If you want to stay close and have Fish & Chips... Fresh & Tasty fits the bill. One of our favourites. Not much to look at inside, however the name says it all "Fresh & Tasty"... Put in your order and then go into the pub for a bevo and wait. You can eat it in the pub, in their area, or takeaway!
