Yeah, I have been before. Basic inside, but food and drink was good.

Been quite a few times. Big pot of mussels in a white wine sauce with some crusty bread is highly recommended. Also tried oysters for the first time here, but ended up chewing it!

[TOENHEEL]

Cheers lads, quite looking forward to it, something new. Oysters are an acquired taste I hear!

Where abouts is it?
Cant say I've heard of it!
But it's a while since we've eaten out anywhere other than Wagamamas.

I think it's quite good, though a friend of mine suffered terribly with the sts after eating some mussels there. I think she was just unlucky though, I've never had a problem. The only problem I have it really is it's location on the quayside, shame it's not up the hill in the city centre. Have fun!

Never eaten there however the owner is a wholesale fish supplier so I would have thought the fish would be pretty fresh.

I have used that plaice, (place), for years, and we have always had great quality food at a sensible price. The decor is pretty 'basic' but its always been clean and we enjoyed the food / beer.

Go at lunchtime and get a £6 meal. Not bad value at all. They also have live music on a regular basis.

I have voted them through to the next round.

Well pleased to say had a nice meal, Oysters followed by a fish pot consisting of mussels, king prawns and lobster tails. Kwak beer went down well also!!

I spotted the 'fish pot' on the menu last time we paid them a visit. Was it good ??.......I mean, would you have it again ??

I really like the sound of it.
