Customer Review Summary
Diners come mainly for the large fish and chips, praised for a generous, huge fish in light, crispy batter alongside seasoned chips. Several call the fish fresh and the portions big, and one family of regulars of over 20 years cites quick service. Close behind are the chips, which one reviewer calls non greasy, and the curry sauce, with scallops, chicken and sausage also getting a mention. Staff are described as friendly and kind, and one reviewer calls the owner lovely. The recurring complaint is oil. Two reviewers find the food oily, one saying the paper wrapping arrives drenched and the smell is noticeable, leaving a greasy texture in the mouth. One reviewer reports a mix-up with a delivery app order and says the person on the phone kept talking over them while they tried to fix it, and another notes there are no gluten free options. A reviewer appreciates that a large order is cooked fresh when asked for.

“Food is amazing however them and just eat need to sort out their ordering system whilst i understand the issue was from Justeat when a customer rings to complain do not keep talking over them. The guy I spoke to just kept speaking over me on the phone which is poor customer service he also kept going over the same things when all I wanted to do was rectify the error.”

“Always the best fish & chips outside of Yorkshire!”

“£25 for two large fish and chips and sausage. Not too bad considering the fish is pretty large. Down side is that the fish and chips is incredibly oily. It’s that oily that the paper wrapping is drenched in oil and you can smell it too. Tastes good but wish it was less oily as it can leave that bad greasy texture in your mouth. Cooked fresh when you ask for a large which is really nice. Close to a 5 star if they fix the oil.”
- David Wong
“Not only are the staff very kind and attentive the food is stunning! The fish is so fresh and battered is light and crispy. The chips are fresh and non greasy. This will be my new go to. Would definitely recommend!”
