The kitchen cooks its fish and chips fresh, with battered fish and curry sauce on the menu. Chips come in large and standard sizes.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips are the draw at this takeaway, with reviewers describing freshly cooked fish, generous portions and a batter one regular called exceptionally good compared with other chippies. Chips get plenty of attention too, from battered chips to chips with no eyes or rotten bits, and the curry sauce is called very nice. Cumberland sausages are also singled out as huge, and others mention battered sausage and a lite bite with mushy peas. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, service is described as quick even when busy, and one reviewer mentions queues outside the tiny shop. One long-time customer has eaten here since 1987 and calls it consistently excellent. The lone negative describes chips that had gone mushy, a mushy fish cake and tasteless, tough fish. One family of eight arrived shortly before closing, and the staff cooked a load of fresh food and added some freebies.

“I've had food from this Chip Shop since 1987 (when it was under different ownership) and it has always been excellent! Photos are from two meals I had last year, and a "Lite-BITE" with mushy peas & a Cumberland sausage I had today, consistently excellent!”
