The Almond Plaice' Fish & Chips unfortunately fell short of our expectations. My partner & I both felt that the fish supper was disappointing. The fish whilst a reasonable size & meaty had a nice crunchy batter but lacked flavour. Accompanied by a meagre portion of thin, soft & limp, tasteless cross between fries & chips which weren't nice at all. My large portion had quite a lot fewer chips than my partners medium, but as they weren't good, it really didn't seem to matter. The serving of mushy peas whilst tasting very nice was also a frugal serving in an extremely small shallow oval bowl & not worth the additional €2. Interestingly, customers on surrounding tables that hadn't ordered a side benefited from more chips, filling the area on the plate where a side dish would go.

Staff is very kind and service minded, definitely repeating this, well worth and relaxed...
Read moreThis restaurant has just changed ownership. We have been regulars here for many years and thought it was very good for breakfasts. However this morning we went for coffee and scones. The scones were dry and stale. We sent them back and were charged for one portion !!! We won’t be going back now, which is sad as the previous owners were fantastic. If they had just charged us for the coffees as they should have done, we would at least given them...
