Customer Review Summary
Soggy, doughy batter on the fish is the complaint reviewers raise most, with several describing it as wet, thick and not crispy, and one saying it stuck to the paper. Fish bites were called mostly batter with little fish, and a battered sausage drew a similar reaction. One reviewer reported yellow, tough fish flesh that smelt off. Chips draw mixed comments. Some found them old and overdone or uncooked, while others called them fine. A chicken kebab arrived as a plateful of brown chicken, and the reviewer doubted it was chicken at all. Customer service also comes up, with one reviewer describing an unfriendly greeting, another an extremely rude exchange on the phone, and a third a strange atmosphere where everyone seemed to hate each other. One reviewer stands apart, reporting crispy batter, thick cut chips and a meal still hot at home, despite apprehension after reading earlier reviews. Another visited twice and found the same wet batter each time, and one posted a photo of the batter scraped off the fish.

“Spoke to an extremely rude colleague on the phone. Incredibly vile and will not be spending our money in your shop again whilst he works there. It may be worth giving him some lessons in customer service, hideous man.”
