Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising a thick piece of fish in crispy batter and calling it among the best they've had anywhere. Several highlight the fish, chips and mushy peas combo and the £10.50 meal deal as good value, and one diner mentions the gravy favorably. The shop is also described as spotless and bright, with staff called friendly and service noted as quick. A recurring complaint centers on chip portions and quality, one reviewer says a newer staff member has become stingy with chips, giving kid-sized portions, while another found the chips dry on a visit that also included so-so kebab meat. One reviewer wishes chicken burgers were actually available despite being listed on the menu. Long-time customers describe it as a staple they return to when visiting family.
