Customer Review Summary
The Special Fish draws repeat weekly visits, with reviewers praising fresh, flaky fish, crisp golden batter, and fluffy chips, alongside prompt, friendly service. Complaints surface too: one diner describes a jacket potato microwaved rather than oven-baked, with sparse beans and liquid cheese, while another reports a Just Eat order arriving over an hour late, cold, and wrong, calling it £22 wasted.

“Ordered on just eat, basically the whole order was wrong and freezing cold. The fish bites weren’t crispy, they were soggy, chips looked anaemic. Food was also late by over a hour. Literally never been so disappointed in my entire life. £22 wasted.”

“Do not buy a jacket potato from here. I ordered one yesterday. I was told they are done in the oven. Fresh. But it wasnt. It was done in the microwave and i waited 15mins for it. There was about 10beans on it, the cheese wasnt even real cheese, it was the liquid/melted cheese (who puts this on a potato). First time in my life i have seen this. The potato was so small, im sure it was only half a potato, but it was all squahsed down, i couldnt even tell. Disgusting. Never again.”
- Mohammed Zubair Firdoos
“Absolutely fantastic fish and chips! The fish is always fresh and flaky with a perfectly crisp, golden batter, and the chips are fluffy on the inside just the way they should be. The service is top-notch—friendly, efficient, and always makes me feel truly welcome. Highly recommend!”
