"Very disappointing, visited today, poor quality Haddock, very fishy and not fresh, not worth the price, very greasy fish & chips."
"Fish was small and very small portion of chips."
"The fish tasted like it had come from a swimming pool instead of the sea, due to the chlorine after taste."

"Utterly ridiculously slow service in the restaurant, don’t bother to sit in and eat."
"Called at the takeaway £24 for large fish and chips and two mushy peas. The portions were not large the food was tasteless and greasy."
"Waited 20 minutes for food only to find the person behind the till hadn't told the other staff that they need to put an order in, tried ordering kids meals only to find they had none of what we're after."
Value
Pros:
"All this for £11.95 a head. What is there not to like!"
"Very reasonably priced and quality is amazing and cooked fresh."
"Fish and chips are a treat for us... we went into Whiteheads restaurant where the teatime special at £9 is a bargain."
"Simply the best fish and chip's for miles...papas and Harper's are good but don't come close to whiteheads."
"Not too pricey either I had relatives from Warwick with me and they were amazed at the value."
"Fish and chips lite bites is a decent size portion, pot of tea and bread and butter £9.75 excellent value for money."
"Value for money daily deal a real win at £6.95 I think it was for 5 Oz haddock chips and either peas gravy or curry sauce."
Cons:
"2 meals NOT worthy of the £15 spent. Very underwhelmed and disappointed."
"For what it was, I thought it was expensive so doubt I'll be making another special trip to this place again."
"Queue at the shop was a bit long - they only let a few customers in the shop at once which ain't great when it's pouring down."
"Got a shock of the prices it was very high, £31 for 2 people for a fish, chips and peas and a cup of tea."
"Only thing that puts me off fish and chips these days is how expensive it's got in general."
"It's ok, very expensive for what you get though."
"Visited wed 6th September could not wait to try after all the fuss won't go back in a hurry... to expensive at whiteheads."
