Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most comment at this Barry takeaway, and reviewers split sharply on them. Several praise the cod in a light, crispy batter, with big portions and good value, and a few describe repeat visits where the quality holds up every time. A spring roll is called lush, and staff are repeatedly described as friendly, chatty, kind and welcoming, though one reviewer notes the shop is a bit dated. The complaints are specific. Two reviewers found the batter soggy rather than crisp, and one describes it as so yellow it looked like a marigold glove, peeling it off to find fish that was not fresh or tasty. Chips draw criticism too. One calls them soggy, and a regular customer says a large portion looked like a kids portion and was on the raw side, leaving them with bad indigestion. Another found the curry not spicy. One happier diner noted the tray was left with no grease on it after finishing.
