Most Disliked
While the food has garnered a lot of praise, some customers have noted that the takeaway format can lead to wait times, especially during peak lunch and dinner hours. Although the wait is often worth it, it might not suit everyone’s schedule. A few patrons express a desire for more variety, particularly in the children's menu. Additionally, being a cash-only establishment can sometimes be a hassle for those used to cashless transactions, so it’s good to come prepared. Despite these minor complaints, the strengths of The Harbour far outweigh any drawbacks.

Best in the area! The staff are great, and I love the fact that they’re cash only. It won’t be long until that’s a thing of the past, so fair play to them for sticking to physical currency! Their haddock is amazing, and their battered sausages are always crispy, and never greasy. Keep up the great work!

Great little chip shop in the centre of the Shilton Park estate. I’m from Scotland so we love to deep fry everything and it’s hard to get stuff that would remind me of home down here. I’ve requested a few things that aren’t on the menu like a Scottish Burger and the service there is fantastic. They have a laugh with you and are quick and efficient in serving you. The food is lovely too and well priced in comparison to the other takeaways on the square. I certainly recommend this place.
