First visit to The Plaice at Southey tonight for me and my family and we weren’t disappointed. We had Cod (large & small), fishcakes, chips & peas. Everything was delicious and very tasty. The shop looked spotlessly clean and service was with a smile. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.
