Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the fish and chips, with the fish described as beautiful and fresh and the batter as crisp and not greasy at all. Close behind are the mushy peas, one reviewer calling them the best in a long time, and the curry sauce, alongside cod bites and a battered sausage with gravy. Several praise generous portions and good value, and specials are mentioned as good value too. Staff draw friendly and helpful comments from several diners, and one says orders are ready quickly without a long queue. The main complaints concern price and consistency. One reviewer found prices higher than advertised online and in the shop, then reported reheated chips and food cooked in dirty oil that came out almost black. Another felt half a small cod was disappointing for the money, and one found the staff miserable despite great food. A parent notes it is the only chippy the youngest child will eat from.

“Best chippy in the area!!! The staff are so friendly and always having fun while serving. The food is 10/10 and really big portion sizes for the price. Always ready quickly and you don’t have to queue up long. They often have specials on too which are really good value.”
