Customer Review Summary

Fish and chips is the item most reviewers center on, with chicken and chips and a doner and chips recommended by one diner also singled out, plus mentions of chilli sauce and curry sauce. A few describe the cod and chips as fresh and reasonably priced, calling it worth a try. But complaints dominate: several reviewers describe a decline since new owners took over, citing cold food, undercooked or hard chips, and one diner served the wrong flavoured pie. Customer service draws repeated criticism, with one reviewer calling staff distant and another saying customers were left unacknowledged at the counter. One reviewer reports the chips smelling of old oil and looking discolored. Opinions on the ownership change split sharply, one reviewer calling the chicken and chips the best in Alum Rock since the changeover, while multiple others say the same new management brought poorer ingredients and slower service than the shop's earlier years.

    “NEW OWNERS HAVE TURNED THIS AROUND. GREAT FOOD. It seems the owners have listened to tye feedback and got their act together.i gave been herd 4 times in the last 2 weeks and the food has been top notch everytime. Yes its a little pricey but you get what you pay for....tje best chicken and chips in alum rock by a mile...they are obviously using quality ingredients now... I'd say it's better than what it was back in the day as always used this chippy.”
