Customer Review Summary

Fish and chips draws praise for flavour and texture even when the portion looks modest, and diners recommending the wider menu single out salt and pepper spare ribs, spring rolls, and king prawns in black bean sauce from a Chinese takeaway order that one reviewer called very good. But a recurring thread of complaints runs just as strong: multiple customers describe reheated food, including a meat and potato pie that tasted and smelled off on more than one visit, and salt and pepper chips several call stale, with one saying they were clearly yesterday's chips. Others report batter so hard it couldn't be cut, chow mein described as slimy with excess cornstarch, and one longtime customer noting a Chinese order well below the usual standard. A separate complaint involves a pricing dispute over sweet and sour chicken, where a customer felt accused of lying about chips previously included free, prompting them to leave without buying.

    “Had been here 4 years ago was fine. Went again and the fish in batter looked great but it tasted so bad threw it in the bin.”
  • Brandon Smith
    “Got chips and gravy in a tray which wasn't to bad but then I took a bite of my meat and potato pie and it tasted of and smelt rank. This pie was clearly reheated many of times before being sold to myself. If I had tried eating it with my other food it would of all been thrown in the bin together. Won't go there again as this is the 2nd pie to taste like this”

    “We’ve just had a Chinese Takeaway from the A1 chippy.. I’ve got to say we were pleasantly surprised we had salt and pepper spare ribs. They were very good also spring rolls they were also good. My husband had a special Curry. He really enjoyed it. I had King prawns in black bean sauce all in all it was very good for an impromptu takeaway.”
  • Jenna Palmer
    “Just been for food boiled rice and chips were fine but got salt and pepper chips and you cannot cut into the batter as it's rock hard and the chicken inside was hard none of it was edible. Waste of money!”
  • Victor Edmonds
    “Ordered chicken chow main, Szechuan crispy beef, beef in green pepper in black bean sauce chicken fried rice, egg fried rice, the meat was awful way to much corn starch which can only be described as slime covered food I almost wrench first bite! Immediately went in the the bin. Sorry A1 I’m a local lad and frequent your chippy from time to time but the food l ordered recently was horrendous.”
