Customer Review Summary
Delivery draws repeated complaints. One reviewer received food almost 30 minutes early and cold, another waited an hour and three quarters for stone cold food, and an app order arrived 30 minutes late. Two reviewers report black hairs in their chips, and one missing curry sauce drew no apology. Counter staff get mixed reports, from a friendly guy to one unprofessional exchange. A steaklette with peppercorn dip and a kids cod bites box were praised, and one delivery complaint ended with a voucher granted with no argument.

“You will have to wait but the wait is well worth it, this chippie is excellent”
- Nicholas Johnston
“- Fish was about half hollow batter. Chewy with really dark batter. Need more regular oil changes. Tasted burnt and overcooked - Black hair wrapped around a chip …”

“Ordered steaklette, chips and peppercorn dip. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steaklette was very meaty and very filling. Lots of chips and great dip. Overall very good meal and would order again. Staff were pleasant and helpful.”
- David
“Fish was poor, batter was tough, hard to separate, really hard to describe, like fish no flavour. Really poor for the price. To balance this up, I have had good fish from here before, this experience was on 28th May between 8 an 9 in the evening, it was really poor guys”
