Nice little chippy selling the usual as you'd expect. The staff were polite especially the young lady, the fella on the frier I don't think said one world the entire time I was in there.
I thought it was priced reasonably too.

Food was delivered only warm & my order was incomplete. Tried to get the missing food delivered but told no drivers available so would refund. Sent me a request for the money not a refund then when I phoned they said they’d contact the company to refund which of course didn’t happen. Food quality ok apart from temperature but customer service appalling

We ordered meals for 6 and we're told it would be ready for collection in 15 minutes. When we arrived about 20 minutes later they had not even begun to put our order together. When we got home my fish was cold although the other 5 meals were hot to be fair. Won't be going back.

If you actually want to eat I suggest you do not order from here. I placed an order through just eat at 18.05. It apparently got delivered at 19.15. When I chased it I was told it was on its way. Again at 7.45pm it has still not arrived so chased it to be told driver was in the area. Come 8.30pm the order was still not here and it never arrived. Absolutely useless. Last time we ordered nothing was wrong and food was perfect but it seems very hit or miss. We didn’t receive any food and I’m currently fighting for a refund through just eat.

Went their tonight for the first time and was definitely the last.
If you like all the dregs, barely warm and greasy chips then this is perfect for you.
Had about 12 chips and that was 12 too many.
How they can serve that slop is beyond me.
Waste of money and if I can help others not to make the same mistake I did then at least that makes me feel better.
Should change their name to the Rankfather.

Ordered through Deliveroo at 17.30 and informed delivery would be at 18.30. When it finally arrived at 19.10 the chips were luke warm and soggy as was the fish batter. The whole point of a decent chippy is nice hot crispy chips and batter. In the end i had to go out and out and buy the 3 meals again from Nindys. Shop is only 1.3 miles away so 1hr 40mins for delivery is pathetic. They use their own drivers so Deliveroo not to blame. Used to. E a good chippy with delivery in about 30 mins. Will never use them again. Nindys every time from now on.

Very disappointed! We visited at 15.45 Friday. Ate our Cod and chips sitting on a bench outside. The Cod was fine but the chips weren't even hot. We took them back to show the assistant , He didn't understand what we were saying as he had limited English.
Last time we went we just had chips and they weren't hot, the Assistant was very apologetic and cooked a fresh lot .
This place is normally so good that we have recommended it.
