Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the warmest praise, with diners describing thin, crisp batter, tasty haddock and well-cooked chips, alongside a battered sausage and curry sauce that one reviewer calls perfect. Several mention friendly, chatty staff, and one ate lunch at the small outside tables. Close behind, a few call the food fresh, hot and reasonably priced. The complaints are just as specific and nearly as frequent. Several describe dry, hard chips that seem re-fried, and donner meat that was cold and hard, served in a pitta with old, brown salad. Two reviewers say a "large" cod or large fish and chips arrived far smaller than expected, one says the chocolate cake was rock hard, and another found the mayonnaise runny. One reviewer reports feeling sick after gravy that was watery with lumps of clear jelly, and threw it in the bin. One reviewer suggests delivery orders suffer because fish and chips travel badly, while another, after phoning to complain, was told only that the fish had been in for the right time.

“This cost nearly £17 for what’s meant to be a large fish & chips & 1 battered sausage. This chip shop use to be amazing, it’s gone severely down hill if this is what they are charging for what’s meant to be a large meal. We called up to complain & her only excuse was the fish was in for the right time. I wouldn’t call that a large fish & chips also clearly overdone. Used this chip shop for over 15 years, never again!”

“We called at this place at lunchtime on the 14th February and paid £13.95 and really wished we hadn't, what robbery !! the "LARGE" COD was tiny when my wife opened the box I thought it was a battered sausage it was so small, I wonder what uncooked weight a "LARGE COD" should be ? the chips were very bland/dry and I would imagine they had been cooked before and reheated, most robbers would wear a mask but this guy doesn't mind showing his face, AVOID THIS PLACE unless of course you enjoy being ABUSED !! I Only put 1 star because I can't put 0”

“Absolutely horrendous. Chips like cardboard, dry, cold and rock hard. Like been re fried a few times. Every single chip was the same, these have got to be from yesterday. Donner meat cold and hard like cardboard A whole chicken thigh just chucked in the pitta bread with a horrible blend of herbs on. Salad brown and old. Chocolate cake was rock hard and crispy where it has been sat it the cabinet for what seems like a week. This place has nothing on Blenheim Parade chippy anymore. Avoid, £25 wasted on an inedible dinner 🤢”
