Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing crispy batter and chips cooked just as they like them, plus generous portions and reasonable prices. Large orders delivered hot to campsites come up more than once, and several mention returning specifically for chippy tea or driving out of their way for it. The high protein salad bowls also get a mention as a newer, welcome addition. One reviewer flags a heavier, thicker batter that left the fish slightly undercooked and chips lacking color. Separately, one reviewer reports severe stomach illness after eating a chicken kebab from the shop, describing it as dry with little sauce or salad. Staff are called friendly and efficient by multiple diners, and the atmosphere is described as welcoming, with food repeatedly said to arrive piping hot even on large delivered orders.

“They prepared a large order for around 15-20 people and delivered it to our campsite. Food was still piping hot when it arrived. Just two things really, the batter on the fish was quite heavy/thick so the inside was a touch undercooked. The chips could have done with a few more mins in fryer to get some colour on them.”
- Garreth Tinsley
“Had a massive order of fish and chips delivered to our campsite. All arrived hot fresh and very tasty. Prices Reasonable too”

“A random stop off on the way home and I'm so glad I did. Great service, lovely batter and cooked just as I like it. Definitely will be coming out of my way from Oadby to go here now.”
