  “Great fish and chips! They were so good we came back twice during our week stay in Bude! Definitely 5 stars for the food; it was absolutely amazing🤩 The only downside is the queue. We waited at least 20 minutes just to place the order, then another 20 minutes or even more to collect it (on a weekday). So it is a popular place, but surely there must be a more efficient way to manage the ordering and collection process? That said, the food was worth the wait, which is why we came back and queued all over again, even though it was a bit annoying 😬”

  “Not good! Fish was mostly batter and chips were old, soggy and barely warm. We were not impressed. We queued and and had high expectations after reading reviews but it was disappointing! Not at all fresh tasting! Just cooked earlier and kept warm, so we won’t be going back!”

  “Great fish and chips! A wait of 20 mins or so for our order as a constant flow of customers, reassuring high demand for great quality. Reasonably priced too.”

  “We had a regular cod, mini cod, battered sausage, large chips, bread roll and 4 drinks for just under £30. We ordered and then waited 5-10 mins when they called my name, so I presume they were cooking the fish to order, but I dont know. I felt the fish was a bit thin and the chips were not what I would call chip shop chips. Having said that the batter and chips were crispy and the fish was well cooked and we would happily go back next time were are in Bude.”

  “Started off like any other time Older guy at the desk nice polite took my order large chips 3.90 pretty fair I’d say Was like 4 of us in there all collected fine 3 people came in after me Then the guy went out back left it 2 younger lad and girl. Where I seen them poking and squeezing peoples fish questioning if it’s cooked right with their hands not ideal, seen no one wash there hands hole time there or gloves ? 3 other people who come after me served and gone. then they said to each other ah forgot about him not too me just each other. So made more chips me (fresh chips nice) 20 minutes later got the chips. Seemed a bit long to me for just chips 20 minutes. Chips where good be fair always are when I go ant local but visit enough. Properly go back cause this only negative experience I had properly won’t order fish mind.”

  “I have literally just finished a large cod & chips with curry sauce & mushy peas from this place. I came straight on here to say how good it was. The best fish & chips I’ve had for a long time. Everything was tasty, but the nice thick piece of cod with crispy batter was just perfect.”

  “Great fish and chips, nice mix of crunchy chips and larger fluffy ones. Ordered, gave my name and then waited... Certainly worth the few minutes wait. A real treat without paying a huge price.”

  “Ok, so these are REALLY nice chips!! Many fish and shops sell pale and soggy, chips that you think you want until its too late and your feel stodgy and horrible. These chips are golden in colour, taste fresh, and are soft on the inside and a little crisp on the outside. Well done team!”

  “Don't be fooled by the very dated outside and inside decor as it's actually a very nice chip shop. The chips are delicious and my mate said his fish was very nice but I'm marking it down one star as I thought portions were small and the sausage was pretty good but I have had a lot better.”
