Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Proper fish and chips! The fish is huge every time and tastes amazing!"
  • "The fish I really love so white and fresh and the batter is very light and crispy."

  • "The fish and chips was delicious, best we've had for some time. Cooked to perfection."
  • "Genuinely the nicest fish and chips we've had."

Cons:

  • "Food tasted like it was cooked alongside a beef joint, totally overpowered any taste of the food, and left a nasty after taste."
  • "The food however was not brilliant. The chips, for the seaside, were poor. Dry and not much potato in them, really disappointing."

  • "Batter on fish wasn't really fluffy or crispy and ended up soggy underneath as placed on top of the chips."

Cons:

  • "After waiting 45 minutes we got our order and drove back to Great Yarmouth, little did we know we did not have the entire order and had to go back for it."
  • "Nice food... But 40 mins to wait for 4 portions of sausage and chips... Needs much better management."
  • "Called to place order before visiting and was told they are no longer doing that so to just come to shop as not busy, however while waiting at the shop I heard somebody phone an order through and there were a number of people in the queue."
  • "They missed a curry sauce from our order but wasn't worth the 15min drive. (hence the loss off the 4 star rating)"
