Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fish and chips, with the large cod and the fish specials of cod and haddock described as fresh, large and delicious, and the chips called not at all greasy. Several praise a good crisp batter, and a few say it beat chippies closer to home. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, including a busy Good Friday handled with a good system and a willingness to fry two fish just before closing. Close behind are large portions, with curry and peas mentioned alongside the fish. The criticism centres on value and accuracy. One reviewer calls the portions abysmal for the price and says some items were missing from the order, another found a portion slightly small, and one found the fish short on batter and the chips too soft, though the chop suey roll and curry sauce were good. A delivery order with ignored notes arrived wrong, and the caller was told the replacement would have to be collected. One reviewer also found cards not accepted and was pointed to a post office.

“The chippies closer to home have gone down hill lately, so thought I'd try here because of the reviews, took about 10 mins or so to drive back with the food and it was still better than the one's 2 mins away. Chips where good and well impressed with the fish, will definitely be back.”
- Adrian Percival
“Young girl on counter very friendly. Was served really quickly. Quality of food was good. Portion slightly small but acceptable. Prices match other less tasty local places. Definitely worth a visit if in the vicinity and after decent chips.”
