Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the fresh, crispy batter that envelops the perfectly cooked fish. The generous portion sizes seem to be a recurring theme in reviews, with many diners noting they leave feeling satisfied and content.
Franco's offers a delightful selection of sauces, particularly the curry sauce which has received mixed reviews for its strong flavor but is often loved by those who enjoy a punch. The establishment's cozy atmosphere makes it a fantastic option for casual dining, whether alone or with friends. Many appreciate the quick service and the option to sip on a finely brewed Americano alongside their meal.
Most Disliked
Some diners express that the wait for fresh meals can be longer than expected, particularly during busy hours. However, many agree that the wait is worthwhile for the quality of the food.
The curry sauce has garnered a few critiques, as some found it too intense for their taste. While the kids' menu is a hit, a few parents mentioned the need for a broader variety within it. Lastly, limited seating might lead to queues during peak times, which some guests find discouraging.

Popped in and took a table with my Partner for a spot of lunch. The 'Special' was Haddock & Chips and very reasonably priced. The fish was just gorgeous, flaky and lightly battered. Portion size was very generous, as was the amount of mushy peas that I ordered as an addition. Accompanied with a very tasty Americano coffee, I can fully recommend this Chippy as well worth a visit.

We ate in. F&Cs with curry sauce. The curry sauce was quite strong, which I liked, but my wife didn't. The fish was proper tasty with light fluffy batter. The chips were perfect. All served piping hot. Well worth the walk from Trecco Bay holiday park.
