Customer Review Summary

Fish and chips is the draw, with diners praising the cod, crispy batter and soft, cooked-through chips, and one long-time regular calling the gluten free cod consistently high quality. Curry sauce is described as smooth and better than some places, the garlic sauce as strong and creamy, and one reviewer recommends the frickles, deep fried battered gherkins. Staff are often called friendly and quick. Criticism is substantial, though. Some found the fish very greasy, one got under cooked chips with over cooked fish, and another described thin, black fish that was not fresh. A child's fish finger looked deep fried many times over, and one couple waiting at the wait here sign were ignored while tables stayed uncleared. The pensioner special was called average, served on greaseproof paper. Another reviewer felt the large cod and chips, served in a wire basket at nearly double the regular price, looked identical to the regular.

    “We went here yesterday the 5th August, got fish and chips for me and my husband and chicken nuggets for our grandchild, we couldnt get seated to busy, so went over the road to eat them, my husband's fish was disgusting! Was very thin and black , was not fresh and he put it in the bin, shocking to think what you pay for them, anyway he was up all nite being sick, will never go back😬”

    “Met with a smile ,shown to a table , ordered the pensioner special, and a portion of curry sauce ,took about 35 mins to arrive. didnt look bad except for the fact it was served on a piece of grease proof paper on a plate , I know from experience this is usually a recipe for disaster, while cutting into the cod or disecting a chip ( some were quite long) sure enough the paper tears and usually ends up in my mouth , I managed to avoid this due to experience , nevertheless I had to work around several tears. The cod was OK but I had the feeling I should have just ordered fish n chips. The chips were light and cooked well., the curry sauce was better than some places .Apart from the paper ( this needs gone) it was average, although the chips were better than most. For the price I would not go with the pensioner special again , oh and yes the tea did have some body not the pale excuse often supplied elswhere.”

    “It's a fish and chip restaurant, but it's a good fish and chip restaurant. Normally it's quite busy on a weekend but we were late getting down so after the lunchtime rush and before the tea time rush. Fish was very good. Staff were friendly and efficient. We do go here on a regular basis for a reason, it's good.”

    “We visited on Saturday evening and had fish and chips. Unfortunately the chips were under cooked and the fish over cooked. Whilst we were sat eating a couple entered the restaurant and stood next to the 'wait here to be seated sign' they were ignored by both staff members. They waited patiently for roughly 7 or 8 minutes before leaving, not once did the staff speak to these people. There were 2 vacant tables but they had not been cleared. Overall the service was very poor as was the food, we won't be visiting again. Stay away.”

    “It was a lovely dinner. Fish is not dry and the batter is crispy, chips are cooked through and soft to a perfect level, curry sauce was smooth (no lumps at all) and the garlic sauce was strong and creamy 😍 I would say this dinner cost decent price as well, would recommend”
