Most Disliked
Some patrons note occasional waits during peak hours, particularly around lunchtime, with Mondays being the busiest day. This can lead to a crowded dining area, which might detract from a quiet meal experience.
Although the café offers takeaway and dine-in options, a few customers wish for more expansive seating, especially on busy days when tables fill quickly. Limited street parking can also be inconvenient, especially during lunchtime rush hours.
Additionally, some diners yearn for the option of a specialized dessert menu to complete their meals, as the focus remains heavily on classic fish and chips and quick bites.
