Customer Review Summary
Chips and curry sauce draw repeated praise, with friendly staff and a clean shop also noted, alongside the cod goujons special. But complaints recur too: one reviewer found the fish fishy and overcooked with mushy frozen-tasting chicken, though a companion praised the same meal, and another called the fish and chips dry and said service was slower than promised.

“Unfortunately the fish was very fishy not fresh and very overcooked. Couldn’t eat it. Kids had chicken was probably frozen it was very mushy and thy wouldn’t eat it. Overall really disappointed used to be lovely. However one of our party had a bug and described it as excellent”

“Had the cod goujons special with a side of curry. the mushy peas were overly salty and I could only bear to eat half of it. everything else (fish and chips and curry sauce) was fantastic. Staff were friendly and service was quick.”
