“We are used to a very good chippy tea coming from Grimsby, but this was right up there as one of the tastiest we’ve had -yum 😋 Friendly staff, good portion size, batter great and I don’t usually eat it. I don’t leave reviews often either so must have been good! Thanks, we are happy holidaymakers!”

“Haddock & chips and curry sauce were all delicious! Everything had a great flavour and wasn't greasy (which can be really hard to find with chippys!). The haddock was huge, big enought for me and my husband to share. The lady warned us not to eat it straight away because it'd be boiling - and she was probably right because by the time we got home (~25 minutes) everything was still hot. Really friendly and chatty staff.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for the haddock and chips, describing a large fish in a light, golden, crisp batter with chunky chips cooked fresh to order, not greasy and still hot after a trip home. The mushy peas and curry sauce come close behind, with one reviewer calling the peas very tasty and another suggesting a large side container. A meat pie and a battered fish cake also get a mention as very nice. Portions draw repeated comment, with one haddock big enough for a couple to share and another reviewer noting too many chips for one person. Many also point to the friendly, chatty staff and fair prices, and holidaymakers from elsewhere say it ranks among the tastiest chippy teas they have had. No recurring complaints appear, though reviewers disagree on payment, with one noting cashless and card options and another saying cash only. One reviewer recalls the owners pausing to greet passing locals and their dogs, and another says the lady at the counter warned them the fish would be boiling hot.
