“Wouldn't recommend the beef past and onion pie! Quality is terrible and nearly 8£ for pie and chips. Chips are good”

“Lovely modern establishment, friendly staff, and possibly the best fish and chips I have had anywhere.”

“The food is good but the price is extortionate. You pay for much bigger portions than you want. It would be easily solved if they had size options and you could opt to pay this much for this size meal. It's a tricky choice when you could have a sit down meal for the cost of fish and chips.”

“As good a fish and chips as I’ve ever had.”

“We had dinner here last night as it was highly recommended as an hidden gem and was absolutely outstanding. When we arrived, we realized it’s take-out only. Although we were disappointed, the owner offered us a bench to sit on. We chose to eat in our car instead, and the food truly was amazing. Take-out-only setup isn’t ideal for us but the food outweighs that disadvantage. Also this is in Corsham where peacocks roam freely….they’re everywhere!”

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is what reviewers return for, with the fish described as fresh and thick white flesh under crispy, not greasy batter, and the chips as firm, golden and hot. Several call it the best they have had, and one regular who travels from Chippenham says the food is consistently excellent. Close behind are the salt and chilli chips, named as one reviewer's current favourite, and the fried chicken, described as moist and not overcooked. Portions are called generous or huge, and the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and the shop as clean.
