Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips paired with salt and pepper chips draw the most repeat praise, reviewers calling portions generous and prices affordable enough to feed a family cheaply, with staff frequently described as friendly and one diner singling out the salt and pepper sui mai as a favorite. Close behind, several long-time customers say the kitchen has slipped: chips turning up white, undercooked, or reheated and greasy instead of freshly done, one describing a fish that was cold inside, another noting a kids' meal missing its nuggets, and one comparing the curry sauce's color to Fanta. Multiple reviewers report orders arriving wrong, sometimes repeatedly, with waits stretching toward 25 minutes and food having to be redone. One reviewer also recounts being treated rudely over the cash-only policy when unable to pay, until a fellow customer stepped in and covered the bill.

“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.”
