Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, with the Chinese dishes drawing the praise. Diners point to the house special chow mein with thin noodles, a hot and sour soup one reviewer rated above restaurant versions, and vermicelli described as among the best they have tasted. A set meal for two left enough for a doggy bag each. Several mention a lovely lady who works hard and adds extras. The chips draw the sharpest complaints. Three reviewers describe them as reheated, hard, wet, or tasting of stale oil, and one says the fish was chewy and smelled off. Another found the curry beef too grisly to chew, though the rest of that order was great. Delivery problems also come up, with one order arriving nearly an hour late, half of it missing, and a refund refused, while another reviewer notes quick delivery. One regular whose order lacked sweet and sour sauce rang up, and the apologetic lady brought it out straight away.

“First and last time i order from here. How can a chippy go wrong with fish chips and peas? Im just glad i didnt order a chinese meal. Chips were worst i have ever had, re heated and cooked again thry tasted awful like stale oil , never known a chippy to do this, had to throw in the bin, fish was chewy and a bit smelly like it had gone off didnt like texture. If your going to charge £8 at least treat the food you serve and its customers with respect. Went in bin. Ive heard locals recomend the chinese meals but i cant bring myself to go back and the recent reviews are not positive. The server was nice, it was empty when i went , Shame.”

“Order from here all the time, the food is always so nice, ordered and it was missing some sweet and sour sauce, rang up and the lady was so apologetic and brought the missing sauce out straight away. Excellent service and excellent food”

“Order was delivered quickly, but we were incredibly disappointed. The chips were hard and seemed as if they had been reheated, and were physically wet. The portions were smaller than expected, and the noodle box came in a tray, rather than a box, which we found a bit odd.”
- Les Rigby
“Absolutely shocking the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had I wouldn’t give it the rats, warm up chips £7 for 4 salt and pepper chicken with chips that looked like they’d been washed with dirty dish water, it was truly disgusting sorry! Do something else you can’t cook”
- Ian Hayton
