  “The best place for fish and chips. I won't eat fish from anywhere else around here. Now under new management since my review. The food is just as nice if not better. Most things are cooked to order, so you might want to order in advance, to save waiting when you get there.”

  “Where do we start … opened in 1938 and you can tell - an overall positive and joyful experience, obvious errors yet no where is great. The batter is one of their errors - the fish could have stayed in the deep fat fryer for another minute, resulting in a more crisp coating that reflects the decency of the overall meal. The fish therefore was a little on the soggy side, causing it to get stuck to the paper which was however wrapped well (unlike most places these days). Another issue was the girth and voluptuousity of the flaky fish, it could be said it was caught back in 1938 with how small and skinny it was - a real disappointment since the taste was on point. However what we had was tasty and managed to tingle the tastebuds on our tongues. The sausage was alright - nothing special yet still nothing not special, a nice meaty porker with a semi thick skin, good girth and a hard crispy batter - sounds just like a good Friday night. The curry sauce was more like schools rice pudding, this however was not a bad aspect. Though having a thick chunky sauce we managed to get double the flavour and avoid the limb chips and fish. The chips were pale and needed a good holiday in Ibiza to get a tan - yet, yet again they were still pleasant and were drained well, this preventing a pool of oil from forming. Would we come again? Yes”

  “Visited this fish and chip shop at lunchtime today, I was greeted by lovely staff within a very clean, tidy and organised environment. The welcoming staff chatted to me as they were putting my order together. Left within 5 minutes if that and enjoyed wonderful food! Tasted absolutely amazing will definitely be going back again!”

  “Not the greatest visit I have to say, 3 fish & chips ordered, fryer guy put more fish in & when the lady packing had finished he questioned if she had given me the correct amount, I then questioned as I saw how many came out of the fryer. We was both told that she had done 3 fish n chips but when i got home there was a fish missing as I had thought. Called to let them know, they weren't really interested tbh. Back to my usual chippy it is, it's a shame because the chips and the fish we got were actually pretty tasty with good portions of chips.”

  “The couple that run this establishment are incredibly friendly, polite and professional. They make delicious food that is fresh and tasty and excellent value for money. It's always nice to have a conversation with the person serving you and it's even better when it means something. Great customer service, delightful food and amazing prices.”
