I was a little disappointed with my meal as the chips were very salty and so was the Dianne sauce. I usually opt to have vegies instead of chips with my chicken snitty but no changes were allowed. I think vegies should be offered as an alternative even if it was a few dollars more expensive. I do realize it was mothers day and very busy so I will still dine at the Coffs Surf Club.
