A wonderful primarily seafood restaurant on Battlefield Rd. I do not enjoy seafood at all but there is a range of great other types of dishes to make anyone happy. I thoroughly recommend the house steak pie. The hand made burgers are very superior to what passes in some other establishment. As i was in company, it was not really appropriate for me to take photographs on this visit. We would like to thank manager Bill for his great service on our past visits. We wish him all the best as he relinquishes his post and moves to pastures new. Best wishes for the future.

Reviews
We chose this restaurant due to a recommendation from my sister , it did not disappoint! The options were plentiful, it was hard to choose as everything sounded amazing and different. The service was excellent, our waiter was a smart gentleman with tattoos, he was so lovely and even listening to him speak with other customers he was very good at his job. We had mussels frites and lobster ravioli as well as two desserts , portions were great . Absolutely no complaints from us , we will definitely return .
Read on Google Mapsfish is excellent with perfect crispy layer chips is crispy also but if it put in a basket 🧺 wouldn't affect by steam to become soft steak is overcooked as we order medium well but it still delicious with it high quality pepper sauce,give a thumb up to the chef.A small advise is no need to put salt into the mushrooms cause it will cover the Umami. Service and the area is comfortable.It is a nice place for people to have a lunch or afternoon tea.
Read on Google MapsI attended Skips and let the waitress know I was lactose intolerant so asked if what I had ordered contained dairy. She went to check with the chef and said unfortunately it did. I then asked if she could recommend something which didn't contain dairy. She went back to ask the chef and advised that almost anything could be made without gluten. I said it's dairy I can't eat and she said yes that's what she meant. I proceeded to order chicken milanese. 1 hour 30 minutes later, our food arrived. The server brought the meal and said the gluten free chicken milanese - I said it was supposed to be dairy free? To which he replied yes sorry it was. Unfortunately the after effects confirmed to me it was definitely not dairy free. Would recommend Skips to train their staff on the difference between dairy and gluten intolerances.
Read on Google MapsExcellent seaood, the crab fritters were divine, the seafood stew packed with well cooked ingredients, the calamari meltingly soft in crispy coating and the crab on sourdough were all totally delicious. The steak and burgers went down a treat too. Super friendly staff gave us excellent service. We had a great time and hope to be back soon.
