Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The haddock which was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of batter, which was also had the right amount of crunch."
  • "High quality fish."
  • "Light, crispy batter on the fish, (not oily), and chunky crispy fries (not soggy), good seasoning."
  • "Perfect cod and chips and scampi. Light crispy batter, crispy plump chips, balanced flavours and friendly staff."
  • "The fish was fabulous with light batter which left no after taste of heavy fat."
  • "The cod and chips I ordered was amazing. Fresh, even though it was a weird time of the day - good portions."
  • "Lovely and crispy fish and chips, they’re the best I’ve ever had."

Cons:

  • "Lunchtime 2 large fish 1 large chips 1 lamb meat with salad £17.50 I doubt the fish was cod, more likely to be pangasia Vietnamese river fish so thin and not at all flakey."
  • "Fish batter crunchy, but fish inside a bit dry."
  • "Chips greasy and tasteless."
  • "Also the scampi? Five pieces? Was it really scampi? More like battered shrimp - the pieces 90% batter."
  • "The burger buns were flat as pancakes and saturated in oil! The burger itself was very salty, the chips were hard."
  • "Fish and chips were disappointing really greasy oil wasn't drained didn't put salt and vinegar on when asked too much salt was put on!!"
  • "Fish was very poor. Not sure if over cooked as chewy, dry and inedible. Hugely disappointing!"

  • "The staff on our recent visit were terrible."
  • "Was super excited about this place but so disappointed. The service was awful and ruined our experience."
  • "We had a pretty bad experience - we went there during our lunch break because of the positive reviews on google and we effectively waited for almost 20 minutes for two traditional F&C and one veggie burger."
  • "Was met with 2 quite rude members of staff telling me it would take longer because of the burger."
  • "Used the collection window numerous times and was very happy, Until this Friday gone I stood there at the window for 10 minutes until I was finally acknowledged."
  • "Staff have terrible attitudes and insist in trying to intimidate customers by staring who ask why it has taken almost 30 minutes to cook a burger."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The meals are the perfect portion size and reasonably priced."
  • "Portion was big, excellent value for money."

  • "Lovely little gem in Warwick! Food was fantastic, good prices!"

Cons:

  • "This is totally overpriced and too up itself. It used to be a great local fish and chip shop where you got great food and for great value."
  • "Food was served cold, £2 for a small bottle of water.. £1.80 for one bread bun was overpriced, questioned the Bill."
  • "A little pricy for Lunch time menu, for an eat in, you pay £ 7.20 for fish and extra £ 4.00 for chips."
  • "7 quid for chips and mushy peas (fritter) is ridiculous...."
  • "Children's portions very expensive, sausage, few chips and beans £6:50."
  • "Service is lacking, price gouging is about £5 extra per dish for eating in as opposed to taking away."
  • "At the old site, sitting in was £9 or so for a cod, chips and side. Earlier this year it was £14, now it’s over £16."

Payment Options

Pros:

  • "Accept credit cards."
  • "They take card! Go splurge via the medium of card my fellow mortals!"
  • "They even had gluten free non-brewed vinegar! Best fish and chips ever."

Cons:

  • "Only downside is that it is a cash only place with the nearest cash machine being somewhat further away."
  • "Do remember to bring cash as they do not take card!"
  • "Can't give a proper review as I didn't get to try the food, however my review is because it appears to be a dark ages business... Cash only!"
  • "They dont accept any cards, cash only."
  • "No masks, no shield at the counter and even during a pandemic they’re still too daft to take card or contactless payments."
  • "The only down side is they don't take card payments."
