“ I drive every Wednesday for lunch with my husband from cashmere. This time I brought my in-laws as well, and they were so also happy with the food and service. Thank you krish(for remembering our orders every week ) and the whole team for making it such a wonderful experience! I’m not sure why some people feel the need to leave negative reviews about this place. Looking at their profiles, it seems they often post bad reviews about various unrelated things like toilets, trolley carts, petrol pumps, and more. Maybe it’s just a hobby for some. ”
“ Super chill and family friendly location. Service was pleasant and fast. Area was clean and the beach is directly in front of the venue. We had fish and chips and they were fresh and delicious. Most people seemed to be getting takeaway so there were plenty of seats. ”
“ Very nice clean tidy place with plenty of seating capacity. The order was quickly and politely taken by the young man and the prices were average. The food was very very quick to come out considering it was a Friday night with a few patrons getting dine in and takeaways. The fish was very nicely cooked and the piece of battered cod was nice and “light” not thick like some. Out Calamari had a nice bit of salad which added to the old fish and chip taste. Very nice, above average place to get tasty food. ”
“ It’s been so incredibly difficult finding good fish and chips until someone recommended The Boat Shed in Scarborough. And it was everything I have been dreaming about (And More!). We ordered the Boat Shed Box for 3 that was packed with cod fillets, calamari, prawn cutlets, sea scallops and chips. Everything was perfect. The chips had that perfect crunch on the exterior and a wonderful soft centre. The cod fillets had the right amount of crispy batter that was just thick enough to get the satisfactory crunch and not pouring with oil. The fillets were so tender and juicy and not like frozen icicles. The prawn cutlets were huge and gourmet in both taste and texture. Likewise, the scallops were massive and tasted absolutely heavenly. The entire meal was much better than many high end restaurant fare and I was not disappointed. Given the exceptional taste and quality of the meal, I think the $55 price for the whole pack is so incredibly well priced. I wish I could give them a million stars but I hope my appreciation will cover some of that distance. Just WOW! But don’t take my word for it, please find out for yourself. ”
