Customer Review Summary
The critical reviews are specific. Several say the quality has slipped from a once-favored chippy, describing tiny portions, undercooked chips, fish that came as slivers, and rubbery batter. One reviewer found the fish expensive for what looked like a child's portion, with batter peeling off after part of the order was held back and kept warm. Another asked for no vinegar and reports being handed the same fish bites staff said had been discarded, calling the attitude bad even while describing the food as beautiful. One reviewer notes that a customer in the queue stood too close.

“Really disappointing a few years back this was the best chippy around however the quality has really dropped the prices have shot up like everywhere however the portion sizes are now tiny. Undercooked chips and the fish bits were just slithers and did not taste fresh or were not even cod, batter like rubber and the vinegar is that watered down you can not even taste it”

“Asked for no vinegar on chips and replacement staff member pretended to do so and gave me the same fish bites they said they had discarded and chips. Lost my custom. Bad attitude from staff. Won't be back. Luckily I'm not allergic to vinegar. Food was beautiful shame about the rest”
