Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draws the most repeated praise, with reviewers describing soft fish, crispy batter and generous portions, and several naming the large fish and chips specifically as a favourite. Close behind, the skate and plaice earn individual mentions as standouts, alongside the battered sausage, pie, fried chicken quarter and battered burger. Service is repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, with multiple reviewers noting a family run team and a clean shop. A few notes temper the praise: one reviewer found the chips undercooked, though they suggested this could be avoided by asking in advance, another called the curry sauce watery, and one reviewer described a cod and chips order as disappointing. Several reviewers say they return often or plan to keep coming back, with one recalling having eaten there throughout childhood.

“I've been coming here for years. Probably my favourite Stevenage chip shop. Very friendly and efficient service, the place is always spotlessly clean and the food is lovely. Perfect comfort food. I really like the fried chicken quarter. I've had most things off the menu - fish, pies, sausages & no complaints whatsoever. I'm quite fussy but this is just what you want from a proper chippy! Highly recommended!!”

“I've been coming here quite often, and it never disappoints! I almost always have the large fish and chips, as the taste is simply incredible. I've tried the battered sausage and pie, which were also tasty. However, the fish and chips combo is one of the best I've had, and I've travelled to many locations around the world and tried plenty of places near UK coasts, but yet this one is up there. The fish is soft and perfectly cooked, the batter is sumptuous and the chips are tasty and come in great portions. To top it off, the whole family-run team behind the counter are absolutely lovely and always smiling, which just adds the icing on the cake. Can't quite stress it enough, if you're passing by or looking for excellent fish and chips, check this place out! Pictures are from when I got home after taking out a large fish and chips.”

“Chips ok but the curry sauce was far too watery and the worst I’ve ever had.”
