Food Quality

Pros:

• "The server couldn’t have been more professional or helpful we were offered extra chips and my haddock was fresh, plentiful and tasty."
• "The curry was delicious and it had strong flavor, which I was very like it. Overall, the meals was outstanding."
• "The fried fish with lightly battered crunchy coating is very good—cod, plaice, haddock’s were on offer."
• "One of the best pieces of fish we've ever had from a chippy!! SO good and well cooked with excellent crispy batter."
• "The fish was crispy from the outside and juicy soft from the inside, just how it was supposed to be."
• "The batter consistency was prefectly light yet crispy. The chips too were delicious, even the mushy peas tasted better than usual for mushy peas."
• "Fantastic fish and chips, batter was beautifully light."
• "The cod tasted fresh. The batter consistency was prefectly light yet crispy."

Cons:

• "The fish was a little thin but it was crispy which was nice, but the chips were soggy and it wasn’t even covered in vinegar to say that was the issue, not a bad fish & chips but not the best in my opinion."
• "The chips were soaked in grease and half of them were burnt to a crisp beyond edible."
• "One star is for the packaging! Don't usually write negative reviews but I think it's a shame that for £19 for two people, the chips were stale and chewy, the batter was thick, the fish small, the curry watery and the mushy peas watered down."
• "The chips were mixed reheated and horrible. They had just put hot fish on warm reheated chips. Not going back."
• "If I were rating this solely on the food, I would give it a 4.5. The fish, scampi, and chips were all delicious! They were fried to perfection and very crispy."
• "The chips were not good. Me and my friend requested to make crispy chips but it was cold and not crispy at all. Fish and chips were costly and it was not at all tasty."
• "The chips were limp and flabby, many squashed. One of the pieces of cod was completely broken up."
• "The chips were bland and tasted as if they’d been cooked a while. Fish small and overcooked."
