Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers calling it cooked to perfection and naming it among the best chippys in Chorley. Close behind, salt n pepper chips and crispy chilli beef are singled out as standouts, alongside ribs described positively. Several first time customers report delicious, hot meals with generous portions and say they would return. Yet a recurring complaint centers on inconsistency and shrinking portions, with one reviewer noting prices went up while portions were cut to less than half of other shops, and another describing a king prawn omelette that arrived without the chips and peas once included. One reviewer reports the food had no taste across three dishes and says staff offered no resolution when they called to complain. A separate reviewer describes a chow mein as watery and fried rice as clumped together with uncooked parts.

“Some of the worst food I’ve ever eaten. Chow Mein was so watery it looked like a pot noodle. Fried rice was clumped together and some parts uncooked. Just go somewhere else, trust me.”
