Most Disliked
While Salt n Vinegar’s popularity speaks volumes, some diners have noted the wait times during peak hours. On busy Fridays at 5 PM, for example, capacity can hit 100%, and some guests might find this frustrating. Reservations can mitigate this issue, even during the busiest times.
Additionally, a few guests mention the lack of variety in healthier options, suggesting that options like salads or lighter fare could be expanded. It's essential for those looking to opt for a less indulgent meal to plan ahead and check the menu before visiting.

Best traditional fish and chips, and there's a fair few really good chippies, in this area. Clean premises, friendly staff, sometimes there can be a wait, but the stuff is freshly cooked so this is to be expected, but worth waiting for.
