Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the fish and chips, describing chips cooked fresh, piping hot, crisp outside and soft in the middle, alongside a cod portion that was far from small. Close behind are the curry sauce, a burger, and friendly, helpful staff. The main complaints are a long wait for chips and a sausage, and an overcooked plaice that one reviewer swore off. Another calls it hit and miss.

“Make me wait 30min for chips and a sausage. Ain't got much time with a hungry 2 year old at home 😡 joke”
- Carly Gardner
“Haven't had a good chippy dinner since moving into the area so we thought we'd give this plaice a try :) I ordered a medium cod and small chip and got two "small cods" as they didnt have a medium. Nothing small about either portions! Glorious and great value for money. The size of the curry sauce was like a coffee in a sports direct mug for comparison! It was exactly how chippy curry sauce should be! Would highly recommend!!”

“after a year of giving this chippy a miss, ordered on line for collection, not my choice to be honest, but family member had ordered a kebab near by............ order was 1st class, compared with a couple of other outlets, value for money/great food, and thats what we all want,🎯”
