We stopped for ice cream and donuts, ice cream had a weird taste, was absolutely massive which led to it toppling off the cones! Donut was stale. Service was poor, the man serving welcomed another customer ahead of us even though we were next in line. Real slow and drippy service. Frustrating! Go further down to the coffee hut, much better service and food!

Chose here as husband used to go as a child and wanted to take our kids. Food was awful. One child’s sandwich came out on stale bread. Jacket potato was inedible not sure how you can cook this incorrectly!. Fish was tasteless and the chips were terrible. To top it off something had clearly happened to the sauces because we opened a vinegar packed and it came out slimy. Just before leaving witnessed the man serving customers pick his nose. The only good thing was the view.

Quite a pleasurable place to visit for relaxation and good conversations. You have a full glare view of the sea and social activities. A replica of London eye is at this location to give you a feel of what it feels like at Westminster. An adventurous sky fun awaits you here. On a holiday you may have to fun of motorbikes all around.Food: 5/5

Great place to go for a walk at the beach. Friendly atmosphere  and the staffs are also really friendly. Food is pretty good and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. I would highly recommend this place.Food: 5/5

The epitome of no-frills seaside dining.  Feels like a canteen inside, very noisy and not the cleanest.  The fish and chips were ok. The fish is a overly battered and very greasy. Tried the burger which was also passable - again, it's no frills but I would say slightly pricey. Nearly £9 for fish and chips.  Also the doughnuts were very heavy, and were flat, not exactly puffy or airy at all, and greasy.  I did appreciate that the staff were very polite though and did their best with some really rowdy customers, and accomdated a table of 6 of us.

A lovely spot to enjoy a cup of tea or a meal. We sat on the new terrace for the first time. Helpful staff. Access ramp from the beach, but only steps up from the promenade. Disabled toilet with direct access from the café.

So what does £6.50 get you. Well a thin sliver of fish only just bigger than an iPhone 5s. Batter was slimey and the fish was tasteless then they had the audacity to charge for sauces.  Hygiene is poor aswel, as I managed to find a brown/red eyelashmight be ginger along side my fish. I have pitch black hair.  Wasn't too busy and waiting time was still 20 minuets from point of ordering  There are many other restaurants on the strip that offer better quality food for the same price plus they don't squeeze you for the sauces, you're a busy establishment.

Was empty at Lunchtime on a Saturday, staff seemed very unenthusiastic to help. Food was over priced and took over half an hour to serve. Took the family for a meal and was very disappointed. Even had to pay extra for an extra drink rather than being allowed upgrade the kids drink. Food tasted bland and chips were quite cold.Food: 2/5
