Despite a restaurant that was busier than a bookies on giro day. The service offered by Helena, Lola and Isla was second to none. From the second my large party arrived we were greeted and seated and treat like royalty and not the Prince Andrew type like one that people actually like like that Beatrice of York Fella.
You’d expect with a large party in a very busy fried fish peddling establishment would wane but you’d be very wrong my review reading pedigree chum. In fact these 3 rose to the challenge like a Yorkshire pudding in a perfectly preheated 240 degree.
Dealing with my Feral in-laws is enough to make anyone question there life choices but girls wills were stronger than Gemma Collins wrestling for the bag of monster munch.
Anyway onto the food.
I had the viande assortie avec pomme frites or as you philistines would call it a mixed grill with a mushroom sauce that has to be laced with crack or the very least Walter whites finest it’s that addictive. 10/10
2 of the guests had Mediterranean chicken but one awkward member wanted it with rice cos she’s on slimmers world or ozempic or Mangina or whatever it’s called but once again the terrific trio whipped up a storm via the medium of uncle bens and delivered.
My son and his cousin had his the ranch something or other and let me tell it was one girthy bit of scran and was rated 11/10 by the lads. But saying this he regularly eats a ketchup sandwich as says it’s banging so not sure if it’s high praise or not.
My mum had the senior special as it was 90p cheaper and you get bread and butter and a cuppa tea too. I was happy with this as basically that’s 90p in the inheritance pot. Plus I knew she wouldn’t eat the bread meaning i had summet to mop up the mushroom sauce with for free.
Keith was showing off with a large haddock chips and mushy peas. Left most of his chips but tried to style it out by covering with napkin. But I caught him and he was rightly shamed by the table. Fish was fresh and the batter crispier than a burns victim
Paul had steak and kidney pudding which I’m still not sure what that actually is. But he was quiet for the entire meal so must have enjoyed it.
Can’t remember the rest of the order but each dish was well presented and delivered to the table with more style than Gok Wan and Timothée Chalamet combined.
The only downside to the night was not getting to see Edvin’s silly little head!
Also Google have a word I didn’t go for dinner I went for tea.
Dinner is around midday to 1pm
Tea is 5p-8pm
Lunch is a word that belongs in the bin. With moist.

The first thing that went wrong was the starters, 3 of our starters came out and they advised 4th starter would be out a few minutes later, by the time the 4th starter arrived we had all finished ours. We had to eat ours or by the time the starter would have came the others would have been cold.
After that, our mains arrived there was no issue with timing on that course, however one of the mains that was ordered was salmon and the salmon came out cold and raw in places.
I asked for the waitress to come over and the waitress advised we can either take it off the order or you can order something else by this point we had almost finished ours so we did not want to wait for another order to come out so chose to have it removed from the bill, Another waitress then came out and said you can't have it off your bill however we can offer you a free drink obviously one hand not talking to the other, reluctantly and feeling like we have no other option we took the free drink, the excuse given for the raw salmon was "this salmon was thicker than we normally get" not really good enough in my view. The reason I have given 2 stars is because the other meals were ok however this has left a raw salmon taste in ours mouth. I should stress that if this person was for example pregnant and you had given them raw fish you would potentially be looking at a lawsuit and...
Read moreAfter a budget night at the holiday inn A1 junction 36 I needed something to cheer myself up. I'm in Yorkshire, on cup final day. Gotta be fish and chips. I stopped at Sea Fish in Conisbrough. Enough parking for about a dozen or so cars. When I pulled in, there was a young couple in a SUV tucking in to a take away. I asked if the food was any good and they nodded with enthusiasm. "Ay!!" So, the interior was muted, and dare I say "classy". Wood paneling. No comedy under the sea murals here. Really excellent service, and delicious cod and chips, tea and slice of bread and butter. I went for regular cod with a view to the dessert menu. there wasnt any room for anything from the sweet trolley. Maybe if I come back in the winter I'll have more need of the calories. A very reasonable price. Great value. And excellent customer service (Seth, and Ben) When Ben cleared my totally empty plate he asked the superfluous "Was everything arrite for ya?" I "Mmmmm" ed my approval and he says "Yeah, Nice in't it?" - Good staff, who know they're selling a good product. Always gets my vote. Thanks fellas. Five stars.
EDIT - Sat 22/06/24I could only stay away for 4 weeks!!! Went back after staying in the same hotel. (If only the hotel was as good as the restaurant!) Fortunately, this time I didn't have to rush off so I could savour a dessert. I had a couple of scoops of ice cream - (double brownie choc, white choc ) and they were both excellent. Abley served again by Ben & Sophie (Sophia?) - Thanks again....
