Customer Review Summary
Haddock and chips is what reviewers return for most, with diners describing crispy, flaky fish in a batter that is not soggy, and some calling it among the best they have had. Close behind are the generous portions and value, including a doner with chips and mushy peas that was enough to share, plus a nice curry sauce and huge jacket potatoes. Several describe friendly, welcoming staff who recognise regulars, and one family received a birthday cake with their fish, chips and mushy peas. One reviewer says the shop kept a lost car key safe and left a note on the windscreen. Queues are noted as long at times because the shop is popular. The one sharply negative review describes rude staff, a worker touching a sausage by hand, and a long black hair found in a kebab, with the server said to be without a hair net. That reviewer also alleges unfriendly treatment of customers of a different colour. Another reviewer, by contrast, says the staff always have a smile.
