Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Their chips are great and the homemade tartare sauce is delicious."
  • "Fish was very nice but the batter was over salted to the point it was burning your tongue."
  • "Great quality food served. Fresh fish counter and far more variety than your bog standard chippy."
  • "Twice cooked chips giving them a crispy outside/fluffy inside and the taste of them cooked in beef dripping was amazing."
  • "Fish and chips is excellent. Haddock is creamy and batter is well flavoured and cooked."
  • "Fantastic Fish and Chips! The fish is super fresh, you can even buy fresh fish at the counter, and the fish and chips is just as it should be."
  • "The fish (cod & haddock) battered sausages & fish cake were cooked to perfection."

Cons:

  • "Ordered king prawns that weren’t even prepped at all... and completely inedible."
  • "Well by far the worst chips I have ever had. Small bitty tooth breakers with no taste."
  • "The large haddock was smaller than a small cod and even if the price was half of what it is now I still wouldn’t go back again."
  • "The food arrived cold, and they aren't that far away from us. The seasonal veg was inedible."
  • "The chips were below average, slightly dry, and reminded me of oven chips."
  • "Not the same fish and chips that won them their ‘best fish and chips in the country’ awards. They are significantly more expensive that other shops for bland tasteless food."
  • "The majority of the chips were burnt, the curry sauce thick and the fish was tasteless."

  • "Lasting impression was that the young staff serving really don't care about what they're doing."

Value

Pros:

  • "Price is good for the quality you get, I will be returning many times."
  • "£10 each for the lunch special - Mini Cod, chips, peas, tartare sauce, and a coffee."

  • "Their potion sizes and food quality vs their prices is unbelievably cheap."

  • "Also fish is expensive."

  • "I ordered haddock, large chips and mushy peas for the eye-watering price of £14.65."
  • "Seriously overrated no idea how they justify the prices."

  • "Inside it's very simple, more like a greasy spoon."
  • "In general the place was nice but it was a bit cold because the door was open very frequently due to people coming in and out."
  • "We arrived, shortly after 8:45pm to be told we couldn’t eat in & that it was takeaway only."
  • "However when the food arrived I was presented with the most pitiful piece of cod I have ever seen."
