The Original Chipwick Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Fish was perfectly cooked crispy batter, crisp well cooked not greasy chips all served in a box with paper separation of the fish and the chips."
• "Best Fish and Chips I've ever had, and believe me, I've had a lot."
• "The fried fish is consistently superb, as it was today."
• "The batter was light, the fish was fresh and flavourful, the chips were cooked to perfection."
• "Both dishes were just perfect. The calamari was cooked to perfection."
• "The fish is incredible with light and fluffy batter, cooked to perfection and with plenty of great chips."
• "The batter on the cod was delicately crispy and not greasy. The fish was white, flaky, perfect."

Cons:

• "The chips had a suspicion of being frozen about them due to their size and uniformity and were very oily."
• "Service was slow, and when we got home, we were unfortunately missing the fish."
• "Fish was super dry, sausage burnt and batter so dry and the chips just do not taste hot and fresh."
• "The chips were undercooked & tasteless, the fish very dry."
• "Very poor food, fish batter was very pale in colour, chips were so dry and stale."
• "Scallops were flavourless. Tasted like i was eating cotton. Chips were fried on re-used oil (not fresh), chips were soft, not crispy."
• "However, the chips are always dry and taste old/overcooked."

• "Had to wait 20 mins for the small order."
• "Waited for 5 minutes, two other customers were in front of me collecting their food. No acknowledgement from staff that they would take my order when they were free."
• "The biggest issue is wait time. Stood queuing for some 20 mins before it started to move as they were not taking any orders at the time!!"
