Customer Review Summary
The fish is what brings people back, described repeatedly as huge, chunky and freshly cooked in a crispy batter, with portions several call generous enough to share. Close behind, the chips draw praise as proper chips that still taste of potato, and the curry sauce is singled out more than once, one reviewer calling it perfect. Also mentioned are lovely gravy and spam fritters one describes as the thickest and best he has had, plus bulk meal deals a couple flag as good value. Not everyone agrees on the frying: one reviewer reports getting home to raw chips for the third time and having to finish cooking them, while another found the chips pale, bordering on anaemic, and the scampi watery and tasteless. The same critical review calls the shop run down and describes the person in charge as sour faced, though others describe the women making the food as very nice. Several say they will make the drive back, travelling in from Birstall, London and further.

“This is the best fish and chip shop in the area the portions you get are really big we get fish and chips to share i live at Birstall and their is nothing to compete with this place in my area I always get them here when I come to visit brilliant all the time .”

“Recommended to me and well worth the trip. Huge portion and tasty fish in fab batter. Great pricing and special offers. Best for miles.”

“Been here a few times due to moving around the area, 3rd time I’ve got home and the chips are raw so I’ve had to cook them more, I am glad another review pointed this out. It seems to be when the old women is in charge and talking about her she is very sour faced and you can just tell you won’t get a thank you. This place is very run down, they’ve not even bothered for Christmas like other local businesses. Just sell up guys. I won’t be going back”

“Wow!!! I travelled 5000km to try these Fish and Chips, I was not disappointed, I was absolutely delighted. I've been searching England for the type of F+C I remembered from growing up in Rothwell, here it was. Huge piece of delicious hot fish, chips (not French fries) not crispy like American fries but still tasting like potato's, very nice ladies making the food, overall, 12 / 10. Visit 2, still fantastic. Nice people too!!”

“I'd travel from London every day if I could! One of the best fish and chips in Leeds”
