This cafe has been in kirky for years.Family owned..Its my favourite chippy with the food cooked fresh as you order,staff so friendly .A warm atmosphere. Their ice cream is delicious, too.

Great cafe with keenly priced excellent food and fabulous Ice cream. Friendly service. A favourite of our grandchildren for a post school treat.

Came here early afternoon wasn't busy ordered 2 Fish Teas. When they arrived my partner noticed a hair on her chips. Told the waitress and she replaced it had to wait 10 mins for a fresh portion to be cooked. Service is great and staff couldn't be any nicer.

Very nice & friendly staff & a lot if staff have worked in the cafe and take away for many years so you become on first name term's

First time trying here after taking my kids bowling. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere was good. The fish and chips were delicious and the macaroni. We also went to the take away section and got an ice cream and milkshakes. The prices are very reasonable. Would recommend

Class Food. Came here for Ice Cream once finishing up at Spoons. The wee lad me and my friend Luke punched out for a Table tried to fight with us and we chucked an Ice Cream at him. Will be back :)
