Most Disliked
While the overall experience is positive, some diners mention occasional waiting times during peak hours, particularly on busy Friday evenings. The dinner rush outmatches lunch, and delays can be notable, so planning ahead is advisable. A few reviews suggest that on rare occasions, the food may not be served as hot as desired. This is typically not the norm, but can happen during very busy times. The limited outdoor seating can also leave some folks wanting more space, especially during nice weather.

Really impressed with the communication and service from the team at Harpur's Plaice. We recently placed a group order for 29 people for collection on a Saturday night - everything was ready on time, and in insulated bags, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!
