Customer Review Summary
Cod and chips draws the most attention, with several reviewers praising huge portions, thick curry sauce, and gravy described as the best they'd tasted, plus a battered sausage and chips order called "bangin." But quality is repeatedly described as inconsistent: multiple reviewers report cod arriving cold, undersized, or greasy with batter that "fell apart" and dripped oil, and chips variously called flavourless, lukewarm, or hard. One reviewer wanted a refund over batter quality, another found a chicken wing burnt-tasting after an hour's delivery wait, and one questioned a spring roll's potato filling. A regular customer noted the food is "hit or miss" between visits, and one described unequal-sized fish portions and a rushed queue with orders seemingly prioritized out of turn.

“Here we have a £12 meal, I understand times are hard and I don't usually go out for food but that's a bit dear for the amount of food. My biggest problem with this place was the service. Front staff seemed rushed and I was in the middle of the queue but seems like everyone before me and after me got there orders before I did, including prioritising some people. Also I asked what I had to wait for that wasn't ready. The reply, nothing were just getting the small orders out first. So service can be good apparently not for me on this day. Didn't like the service, didn't like the wait, don't like the price but I am starving after a long drive so food is good if not too small. Alright for a last resort but I'm sure you can find better 3/5mins away”

“The prices on the menu were different to the store. The quality of the batter of the cod was poor, came incredibly oily and greasy and fell apart when taking out of the packet, dripping with oil. Chips had no flavour and wasn’t asked whether I’d like salt and vinegar, had to do this at home myself. Only really nice thing was there tartare sauce. Would want a refund based on quality.”

“Atmosphere difficult to assess as I had home delivery. Use their service and normally very happy. However today I strayed from my normal order having a Clarks pie instead of fish. This was fine bit I ordered a spring roll as well which I wanted for another meal. Have just tried it... it isn't like any spring roll I have had before, usually from homemade by friends or myself. It seems full of potato,... what cuisine uses potato in spring rolls??? None that I know of and the was little other vegetable inside. I implore anyone who has tried these to try proper spring rolls... you will notice the difference!”

“Waited over an hour on delivery and when arrived was very disappointed. Very greasy and overcooked, chicken wing skin & wing tasted burnt. Very thick greasy batter that was off putting. Wouldn't use again and have used a few times before.”
