Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the draw, with reviewers praising fish fried to a golden crisp and chips seasoned just right, and singling out the haddock and the halal battered sausage. Several describe the food as fresh and piping hot, and staff are called friendly, lovely and welcoming. One parent notes the shop accommodated a daughter's milk allergy, and another mentions generous portions. The sharpest complaints come from longtime regulars who see quality slipping. Two reviewers received cold chips, one found the fish cold and ready made from earlier, and another was given stale chips on a previous visit. Others say service has become slower and the attitude at the counter varies from visit to visit, with one reporting a long wait for medium chips despite almost no queue. One reviewer who ate cold chips in the car right outside said they would return them next time.

“Certain female staff sharing too much personal information and being nosey about customers personal information. Particularly skinny dark haired girl. Also tries to gain info to request social media contact. Not appropriate. A bit much when you just want food.”
- Anila Nawaz
“Been a regular customer for years - the food quality has dropped significantly. Mentioned in a calm and decent manner that I was given stale chips on a previous visit - the male fryer raised his voice, start throwing his utencils around. Got very upset and angry. A complete overreaction and a scary experience. Not great food and complete disregard for customer satisfaction.”
- Cathryn Waters
“Really nice chips tonight however they were cold. I had them open so ate them straight away in my car right outside. Thought about going back in there to take them back but decided not to. Would go there again but if cold again I will return them next time.”
