    Good food and swift service considering it was a bank holiday Monday. My niece and her husband had the plaice special and loved it, the great nephews enjoyed their favourite burger yet again, and my wife’s sausages (made in-house by the L&B group) were excellent. My fish and chips were up to their usual standard. Lucky Saint on draught was a welcome bonus on an unusually hot day.

    Had such a fabulous & relaxing lunch here during the heatwave. The staff were so accommodating to sit us in the shade outside with our baby and everything from the food, drink, atmosphere, decor (fish vases!) and attentiveness and friendliness of the staff was impeccable. Honestly couldn't fault it. Thank you for such a lovely time Little Rock!
