Customer Review Summary

Fresh, hot fish and chips anchor the praise, with reviewers describing fish cooked to order, flaky cod, and a hake special cooked to perfection. Chips are called great, and one reviewer points to beef dripping, crispy batter and peas that were spot on. Close behind are the curry sauces, including an Irish curry sauce, along with gravy and a battered sausage that one diner found not too oily. Staff are described as friendly and pleasant, and one reviewer liked the clean, comfy seating. A minority of reviews are negative. One diner found the fish overcooked and fairly cold, another called it extremely greasy, and a third said a large portion was so small the bottom of the box showed. Two reviewers were unhappy about eating in: one was refused a table after paying because of short staffing, and another objected to a service surcharge for the dining area, where food still arrives in takeaway boxes and ketchup and tartar sauce cost extra.

    “Lovely fresh fish and lovely chips. What more do you need. Staff super pleasant”
  • Charlie Swift
    “Just lovely. My go to combo being battered sausage and chips. Exceptional taste and texture. These are made even more perfect with the phenomenal Irish curry sauce giving unique flavour no other chippy has. Having the nice curry flavour, with some sweetness with a nice kick to top it all off”

    “Visited 28th July at about 18:30, food it self wasn’t to bad, however for the price wasn’t good, fish was overcooked and then was fairly cold, chips where ok but it’s a chip not hard to cook I guess however I disagree with a 10% service “surcharge” to eat in the “dining” area that gets me, you still have to go and collect your food that’s still served in takeaway boxes, we ordered 2 cod a medium chips and some mozzarella dippers 2 cans of pop, that was a little over £40 to ask for ketchup and some tartar sauce to have to pay another £1.30 for it I wouldn’t mind but where is the service We get charged for last time I paid a service fee it came on a plate and it was brought to me, The staff looked like they were being held hostage to work there , 10% service change don’t even get a smile, let alone abit of sauce, could be a great place however it’s massively expensive and to be honest McDonalds put this place to shame, unfortunately there isn’t one close and no uber don’t deliver, Management your welcome to contact me however I guess you won’t, I have more to say but I wont bother wasting my time here,”

    “Some great chips! The staff who served me was great and friendly. The seats and tables were clean and I like the added touch of having salt and vinegar readily available on the side. They also had options of fish and a lunchtime special that seemed nice aswell. Drinks were also available. The seats were comfy and modern. Overall, a great fish and chip shop to stop and have lunch!”

    “I recently had large fish and chips, and I must say that after this experience, I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone. The portion was incredibly small - you could see the bottom of the box; the chips were cold and the fish tasted of the oil! Had to bin all the food! Absolutely disgraceful shop! If I could score ZERO, that would be a more accurate rating!”
