Customer Review Summary
The complaints are about value and consistency. Several call it overpriced, including a small portion of chips for a family dinner, savaloys described as dry like sandpaper, and a £3 delivery charge on an Uber order. Others report soggy fish, chips that tasted reheated, and a wrong order met with a dismissive response and no promised call back. One reviewer alleges the owner greeted only white customers, and another describes food handled right after taking payment. One reviewer's request for a replacement piece of fish was met without fuss, a detail others echo.
