Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most consistent praise, with several reviewers singling out the haddock (served as the standard fish) and cod as standouts, alongside the light, crispy batter and generous chip portions. The curry sauce and mushy peas get named as favored sides, and more than one reviewer points to friendly, chatty staff and fresh, hot food as reasons they return, with one noting extra cutlery offered unprompted. A couple of reviews cut against the grain, though: one describes fish tasting frozen, and another complains chips were left sitting in fat on the hot plate rather than cooked fresh to order, arguing the shop should cook smaller batches more often to keep them fresh. Even so, most reviewers describe traditional, not-greasy cooking and say they'll be back the following week.

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
