A big all-day breakfast menu and properly good fish are the draw here — crispy batter, flaky fish, and tartare sauce people genuinely rave about, plus home-cooked ham, huge baguettes that arrive with fries, salad and coleslaw, and Shmoo milkshakes for the children. Portions are generous and prices fair, though drinks are pricier than you'd expect. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and three separate seating areas inside, so you can tuck a pram-sized group somewhere out of the way, and parking is free and plentiful with step-free access. Worth knowing: chips can be hit and miss, some dishes are cooked from scratch and take a while, service can be slow to check back, and there's no air conditioning — the kitchen heat drifts into the dining room on warm days. Outdoor seating is limited to a couple of tables and a conservatory.
