Customer Review Summary
Regulars describe fish and chips as the draw, with one reviewer praising tasty fish in crisp batter that isn't greasy, and well cooked chips served quickly. Close behind is the cheesy chips, where a young reviewer singles out the London version for its cheese pull. Donner pizzas get a short, enthusiastic mention too, and a couple who ordered pizzas, garlic bread and chips for their wedding say the food arrived piping hot and on time after the shop checked delivery details beforehand. Several families say they have come for years, call the staff lovely and friendly, and say they have never had a bad meal. The picture is not uniformly positive. One reviewer reports undercooked chicken that was still like jelly, dry and burnt chips that seemed reheated, and a soggy pizza, though the salad was fresh. Another calls the cheese chips and garlic overpriced for average food, especially for local customers. At the wedding, guests kept asking where the food came from.
