Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the main draw at this Lisburn takeaway, with reviewers describing freshly cooked fish and one big fish supper that filled two adults after a wait. Close behind are the chicken burgers, called exceptional, and a thick curry sauce with a good kick. One family says the super sauce always comes in generous amounts. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, helpful and kind, and a group of roofers say they eat here daily. Reviewers split on value. Several call the prices and portion sizes good, but one found the cod supper and single cod the dearest they had tried, with batter too thick and a little stodgy. Another received a super chip with only half a portion of chips and very little sauce from a server who seemed new, and one says the chips were badly fried. One reviewer also felt ignored by a young counter worker while trying to pay, though the main lady who took payment was friendly, and a few complimentary chips came with that cod order.

“Always great, and good prices / portion sizes”

“I only recently tried this chip shop despite having lived nearby for nearly a year. The fish and chips was excellent, as was the burger. Curry sauce was lovely, thick and very tasty with a good kick (not this fruity coconut business). Really quick service. Staff are friendly also. Good value for money. Highly recommended!”

“I have used this chip shop for many years and have no hesitation in recommending it for a takeaway. I would also like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to one of the members of staff called Yasmin for finding my wallet and made sure it was safe until I got it.”

“Another new chippy for me. Location on outskirts of Lisburn. I looked at menu board and was surprised at prices. I am a fish lover. At £12.50 for a cod supper I was shocked. I only wanted a single cod as I'm not a lover of a lot of chips. At £8.25 that's the dearest yet I have tried . Server/fryer was pleasant and gave me a ticket number. I said I will be back in ten minutes. I asked a young girl to take the money. She never answered and I said I want to walk dog and still she ignored me. So I headed out again saying I'll be back and pay then. I felt like talking to 🧱 wall. I came back and it was ready and I paid the main lady who was friendly. The fish was a decent size but not huge . The batter was a bit too thick and could have been drained more. There were a few complimentary chips which were nice. The cod fillet seemed fresh enough. Overall it was fair but just a little stodgy. Price too dear. I would mark it as not top class but above the average chippy fare. I will go back to sample other stuff. Friendly enough”

“Just been to cod father and ordered a super chip £5.45 and when I got home there was 1/2 chip and very little sauce served by a young fellow I think it was his first day.”
