Most Disliked
Some customers have noted that during peak times, the wait can be longer than desired, though they often agree it’s worth it. While many appreciate the casual atmosphere, others seek a more formal dining experience, which might not be provided here. The limited available seating may deter those wishing to dine in on busy nights, especially given its popularity.
Another concern could be the lack of extensive dessert options, focusing instead on savory offerings. However, most diners seem to prioritize the fish and chips over sweet endings. It’s also worth mentioning that while prices are generally affordable, some may see a slight premium at busier times.

Absolutely amazing fish and chips, patties, sausages battered or plain, pies curry sauce, peas, breadcakes, scallops and SCRAPS. Great Excellent customer service. I'd rather wait for Lanes to open than go anywhere else. Credit card/cash accepted. I recommend anyone to go. You will not be disappointed.
