Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips cooked fresh to order draw the most consistent praise, with several reviewers calling out the cod fillet as a good size and delicious, and the curry sauce singled out repeatedly as spicy but not overpowering, served with plenty of it. Portions come up again and again as generous, with one reviewer describing two fish and chips, peas, and curry plus two muffins as filling for a long walk. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and nice, and the chippy is noted as clean and tidy. A recurring small complaint is overcooking, one reviewer found the chips overdone and the batter light but lacking taste, another found the fish slightly overcooked, and one felt the fish could have been bigger despite enjoying it. Several reviewers mention returning often or planning to come back, and one notes a short wait while the fish was cooked fresh to order.
