Anyone planning a visit needs to time it for Sunday, since the counter stays shut Monday through Saturday.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draws the most complaints, with reviewers describing fish that was undercooked or burnt, thin and dried out, or carrying a strange taste. Several mention thick, chewy batter and shrivelled, flat or cold chips. One reviewer also says the fish smelled bad and that the price charged differed from the price board. Beyond the fish, diners report a kebab that arrived in poor condition, pizzas that were burnt or rock hard, and old-tasting chicken and doner meat on a late order. The one bright spot comes from a reviewer who rated the large fish and chips poorly but praised the mixed grill and a whole chicken from another visit, hoping the bad meal was a one-off. Customer service is the second recurring complaint. Callers describe rude responses on the phone, and one says staff argued after mayo was added to a kebab despite a stated allergy. Reviewers repeatedly say they were refused a refund or replacement, including one whose delivery order was also turned down for a refund.

“Fish and chips purchased. The batter was very thick and inedible. Strange flavour also affected fish.”

“Tried out their large fish and chip, was shockingly bad, fish was so thin and dried out, batter tasted like hard chewy cardboard. Chips were shrivelled and tasted flat. Giving 3 stars as they do a nice mixed grill and whole chicken (got on a different day). Hope today was a one off.”

“Worst fish and chips I’ve eaten in my life Burnt and undercooked at the same time because it was cooked in high heat. Also it absolutely stank I think the fish is old as so many people have complained about the same stench! Price board says one price and they charge you a different price”

“We had a very bad experience. The food was clearly not fresh and tasted awful. After eating it, my daughter suffered from food poisoning. This is unacceptable and very concerning. Horrible experience”
