Service
Pros:
"Our server was so lovely, she got us seated all together even though we were a big group and then explained the menu really well."
"Carole and Ken were absolutely amazing! Super friendly and made sure we got everything we wanted."
"Carole, Geoff and Sophie were all very nice and helpful. Carole was especially brilliant as she was very careful and professional with our order."
"The waitress, Carol, was absolutely LOVELY. Incredibly kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble."
"The staff are very patient, polite and professional. I often get served by Carole, and she is an absolute joy to be around."
"Great customer service and delicious fish and chips! The gluten free fish is very tasty and they are very careful to make sure the fish and chips are cooked in a separate fryer."
"Amazing gluten free fish and chips. I was so pleased to find this place- excellent knowledge of gf issues-even had gf vinegar & kept salt cellar separate."
"Very friendly service from Archie and delicious food. My sons had a spam fritter and battered sausage with chips cooked by Ken."
Cons:
"Feel bad I have to be honest..... BUT the FRYER KEN unfortunately turned an experience of deep blue to deep poo ! The chips weren't even cooked."
"Terrible portion sizes for the cost of a bag of chips @£3.30. Barely covered the bottom of the box."
"The food was fine, but a bit disappointed overall. Went for a takeaway, asked if the kids fish came with lemon but was told that lemon is only available if you eat in!"
"My family was waiting 45+ minutes and when they finally put our order into cook we had been waiting half an hour. The company was not busy."
"Ordered online which worked fine gave a collection time, arrived 5mins before the collection time and waited 15mins after that time our number was called."
"Asked for extra large fish, paid £14 for two portions. Disappointed upon opening the boxes at- home, medium sized at best."
"Really disappointed today. The chips were over cooked and more like scraps....l ate as many as possible before giving up...."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The fish and chips were delicious and they had some great meal deals. Highly recommend."
"The fish & chips were delicious and plentiful and the service was outstanding."
"Amazing fish and chips. Generous portions and beautifully prepared."
"Friendly and helpful service, with tasty food freshly prepared and care taken over gluten-free orders."
"Perfect lil' chippy in Helmsley, I can only speak for the chips and chicken bites but they were absolutely terrific!"
"The fish and chips were fresh and lovely. The fryer was Sophie, she's done a very good job with the fish and chips."
"Great cod & chips, lovely piece of fish, freshly cooked with crispy batter & not greasy."
"Probably the best cod & chips I've ever had!! Fryer Ken had cooked both to perfection."
Cons:
"Not the best fish and chips I've ever had but absolutely the best service."
"This place has been getting steadily worse. As a local we use to go quite regularly but stopped due to the decline in quality."
"Ordered large fish and chips for me and my wife... found the fish was all batter and hardly any white fish inside absolutely disgusting."
"The chips were dark on the outside and undercooked in the middle. All the food tasted of old grease, like it hadn't been changed for ages."
"3x LARGE Cod and chips, 1x Chicken Nuggets and chips, 1x curry and 1x peas. Approximately £48!!!!!! Small dry fish, old oil and limited chips."
"Hmmm. 50 minute wait for a takeaway at 7pm on a Saturday night. The cod was very good but the chips were way too crusty and felt like they had been massively over cooked."
"We really use to rate this Fish & chip shop, been coming here for years, but tonight what a let down. The batter was soggy not crisp like it use to be."
