Customer Review Summary
Chips draw the most comment, and reviewers split sharply on them. Some call them delicious and plentiful, while others describe them mushed together and stuck to the paper, dry, or tasteless even with salt and vinegar, and a few say the regular portion varies in size. Cod earns the strongest praise, with one reviewer calling it the best in a long while and another describing great quality fish and good value. Against that, one diner found the fish rubbery with batter making up most of it and the mushy peas more juice than peas, and another found the batter soggy and greasy. A large curry sauce was called tiny, and one reviewer said the tikka mixed meat lost its red colour and its taste. Several describe long queues, running out of items, and counter staff giving dirty looks or slamming things around, though a few longer-serving staff are called lovely to chat to. One reviewer only discovered at home that a battered sausage had no batter on it.

“Normally go here and went here as a kid the small portion of chips used to be a regular all the chips are smashed together and stuck tothe paper the large curry sauce is tiny I'd say its a small not a large, when ordering chips you get a mix you either get alot or not alot but the regular size is mixed sometimes it will be the size of a small sometimes not and most of the workers in there seem to give you dirty looks especially the blonde lady that works in there she looks like she's in her 30s also the lines are always massive way too long to eait like just gimme me chips”

“Was first in the queue but the young woman serving proceeded to serve someone who came in after me. I corrected her and advised I was before him, to which she didn't seem over pleased about. After taking my order, she then proceeded to try and charge me for the order of the person she thought was in front of me. She said I had told her we were together, when I had said nothing of the sort. This woman obviously took the huff and again asked if I wanted salt and vinegar, when I had already told her I only wanted salt. She also stated slamming things around which I thought was very childish. Could do with learning a few manners. Chips and pie were only average. Sadly very disappointed.”

“Been today. Ordered fish and chips with mushy peas. Chips seemed under cooked. The fish was like rubber and the batter was 3/4 of the portion of fish. The mushy peas was more juice than peas. The worst I have had for a long while. It went into the rubbish bin. I will not be visiting again. There used to be a queue when I have been before. Not this time. Now I know why”
