Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise the southern fried chicken most, one calling it beautifully hot on a delivery order, with the cod, hake and fish also described as brilliant and good quality. Chips draw the main complaint: one finds them chewy rather than fluffy, another calls them skinny. Others mention a slow cook, a long wait while delivery orders came first, and a rude young server.
