I ordered online, having followed a Google ad that says "save up to 10%" and "some of your favourites for less". It was pre ordered for a specific time. I arrive on time and everything was already bagged and waiting for me. I noticed, however that the price I had paid using the website was significantly higher than the price in the shop. I didn't used uber eat or any of the usual price hiking suspects, this was a website order and so you would reasonably expect shop prices or, in this case 10% less!
The chips, for example are 3.99 online, but only 3.10 in the shop. Surely in a fish and chip shop, chips could reasonably be considered a "favourite" and be subject to the 10% discount, but no. The chips are actually 29% dearer online than instore! I queried this at the time and the reaction was simply "yes I know". I guess many people get caught out with this trick.
Personally I think taking the p### out of your local customers is hardly a good business model.
As for the food, the portion sizes were good but, the chips were cold. The fish tasted ok, it was well seasoned, but the batter was pretty poor.
I've asked the manager to contact me on Monday, when they are next in the shop, to explain the prices and if they do then I will come back and consider my review again but to be honest , I really do recommend you look up robs fish bar instead. You will have to queue for ages as they will be very busy, but perhaps the answer is right there in the length of the queue at robs and the complete lack of a queue here
Morland Fish & Chips is tucked away in a residential area with plenty of parking if you are staying in the area. Food is packed in cardboard boxes which help keep everything warmer for longer.
As I walked into the shop I was taken back to childhood memories of fish and chips at the seaside, the smell of food cooking and salt and vinegar was amazing.
Crisp batter, tasty flakes of moist cod & chips were really good - good balance of a soft fluffy inside and firm almost crisp outside.
Portions are generous and there was too much in my Regular Cod & Chips. Next time I will be going for the ‘mini’ portion it would of been plenty, my wife had the mini portion and was also beaten by portion size.
100% recommended
