“Great fish and chip shop with exceptional service! We were kindly greeted by the owners and they added in some extra chips which was a really kind gesture. We would highly recommend.”

“I'm not local to the area, i was working a local delivery shift and stopped for some food PM. The last time I had fish & chips like this was when I was down the south coast in Portsmouth. Cod was lovely and fresh, meaty and a good portion size for £7.00 & the batter was light and crispy. I ordered a chip butty for £3.50 which I got plus a small portion of chips on top so portion size very good. Chips fried to perfection & the roll was fresh and soft with butter, salt & vinegar. Staff very welcoming & polite treated me as if I was a regular. Only thing I'm disappointed about is that it's not in Milton Keynes where I live 🤣 Highly Recommend.”
