Customer Review Summary
Chips are what reviewers split over most. Several longtime regulars describe recent batches as white, undercooked, soggy, burnt or greasy, and one says they were reheated from the night before. Others report a fish that was cold inside and a curry sauce the colour of Fanta. Wrong or incomplete orders come up repeatedly, including one order got wrong several times and another where food was dropped and had to be redone. One reviewer calls the place not the cleanest, and another was put off by staff attitude when they could not pay in cash. Happier reviewers praise fish and chips with salt and pepper chips, salt and pepper sui mai, and English sausage or fish dinners, with generous, affordable portions and friendly staff. Even some critics say the staff are nice. One reviewer notes there is no table to eat at. A kids meal arriving again without its nuggets is the detail one regular ends on.

“This place used to be fantastic the last 3 weeks in a row have been a terrible experience. Food missing off the orders and now today. The chips were horrendous. They sent warm up chips from the night before. Bare in minds its 10pm the next day now. If I threw that at the window they'd go through it and smash the glass. After wasting £30 never again. The kids meal was also missing the nuggets out the box again today.”

“Came here quite late after work and ordered the fish and chips along with the salt and pepper chips. The prices were very affordable for the generous portions. The service was good and the staff were extremely friendly. There's no table to eat in. We were pleased because the food tasted just right for our liking.”
