Just had large fish and chips. Go if you like any of the following: Freshly undercooked chips which resemble mash, covered in burnt ‘bits’ for flavour. Oily battered batter mush and ‘fish’. Half of which wasn’t even there, must have fallen off when being served out of the counter. Don’t think I’ve ever had a less enjoyable example of fish and chips.

Lovely and clean, friendly staff, great menu, but when asked for a pensioners bag of chips, and took it home for my father, i was expecting more than 11 chips. As tasty as they were dad was a little disappointed, maybe they gave me the child size, and I should of checked in shop.

3 chippies in my local area and this is the best one. That isn't saying much, the other 2 got 1 star because it doesn't go lower.

Depending who you get, depends how good it is. There are 2 girls that may be sisters, usually runs well with them but recently there were some I didnt recognise. 3 people behind the counter, doing one order, I was 2nd in the queue, took 15 minutes for them to start taking the order of the guy ahead of me (the order they were doing was ordered ahead) I was in there for about 25 minutes, by the time I left, there were 9 people behind me waiting.

I only tried these again because I had cash on me because for some weird reason they don't take card but I won't be risking it again.

This fish and chip shop on it’s good day they serve beautiful chips. But on there bad day you get a bag full of undercooked chips some soft and some hard no crispy chips just soggy chips.

I’ve bought this before and all they do is blame the potato. They are undercooked chips they’re not being cooked for long enough.

I only ordered a portion of chips, got home and they weren't cooked. Still hard potatoes!

Had to throw away as inedible.

Won't go back

Small fish, hardly any in a thick hard batter, chips were lovely.

We were visiting relatives locally so decided to buy everyone a takeaway from here. Big mistake. We wanted 2 chips, 2 cheesy chips and 2 fish and chips. They had only 1 precooked small fish and fish bites, and said it would take 15 MINUTES! to cook a fresh fish, so we went with what they had. The chips were a squashed slab of soggy greasy Potatoe - I don't know how a chips shop can be so bad. The staff really couldn't care less. When we got home only one of the chips had cheese on it. We won't be going back.
