Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for the fish, described as fresh and large, in a thin, crispy batter that lets the fish itself come through. One diner had haddock and plaice cooked fresh on two separate visits, and another notes the shop doesn't smell of cooking oil. The chips are called generous and not fatty, and portions are repeatedly described as good sized. Close behind are the battered sausage, which a former Friday lunchtime regular always enjoyed, and the fish cakes, called excellent. Staff come across as friendly and polite, and several mention reasonable prices and a shop they have used for years or travel some distance to reach. The caveats are small. Several note it is cash only, though none minded, and one adds it just needs remembering. One says it can get busy because of its popularity. Another reviewer's only wait came when fish or chips were coming straight out of the fryer, while one found the chips merely fine and the fish nice.
