C J's Fish & Chips Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Amazing fish and chips, best we've had in a long time!"
• "This is the best batter by far. Not soggy, light and crisp."
• "Super fresh fish and chips from this traditional seaside chippy."
• "If you like really squidgy soft chips, and a crispy batter then this style of fisheries is for you."
• "Fish was cooked perfectly, white and fluffy and portions we're generous but not too much."
• "The haddock was fresh and large, the batter was light, crispy and dry."
• "Absolutely beautiful fish and chips! Traditional chippy, with the best fish shop chips!"
• "The fish is battered haddock and along with the chips is fried in beef dripping, making the batter lovely and crisp with a great flavour."

Cons:

• "But I'm sorry! the fish and chips was not nice. The chips were soft, most were made with green potatoes."
• "Sadly, I cannot say anything nice about the fish and chips from this restaurant. The chips had quite clearly been fried in very old oil."
• "The fish was dry, lacking flavour and very greasy."
• "Avoid at all costs! Rude staff... the quality is rubbish."
• "Some of the worst fish and chips I’ve ever eaten. Got there just after 3pm, so suspect after lunch service. Fish was as chewy and cold."
• "The chips were overcooked and very dry. Didn't receive bread and butter as stated on menu."
• "The fish and scampi were nice but the chips were awful and the peas were warm."
• "The chips were exceptionally soggy even before the gravy was applied but most disappointing was the pathetic portion size."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "Lovely cafe, friendly staff too."
• "Had a laugh with the staff there too. Mega worth the money."
• "Staff very friendly, hardly much of a wait for our meals."
• "Staff were lovely and coped when my sister couldn't decide on her drink."
• "The lovely lady serving us at the hatch gave my dog a little something free and extra chips for my fussy eater son."
• "Staff were super friendly even though they looked really busy."
• "The staff are absolutely amazing; polite, efficient, friendly and hard working in all respects."
• "Absolutely smashing food...best battered fish we've had in ages and the chips were just like proper homemade old school deep fat fryer chips your mum used to make."

Cons:

• "But I'm sorry! the fish and chips was not nice...It's a shame as the place is comfortable and friendly."
• "Avoid at all costs! Rude staff - I asked for peas and she screamed “PEAS!” At me like I was the first person to ever order them."
• "I've never known curry to have fruit in from a chippy. That's my preference I don't like it... Customer service for those prices is disgusting."
• "Poor. All batter & little fish. Mushy chips. Also - Others described this place as friendly. I'm not sure getting customers to pay whilst ordering takeaway, instead of paying when they hand over the food. A minor niggle, but certainly not friendly."
• "The staff were lovely, the food was over priced for the quality you received."
• "Had takeaway yesterday at 4.45pm and they were dreadful... The lady who served our table forgot about the tea, we asked a further 3 times and still no tea."
• "We got fish and chips twice, a large curry sauce and 2 teacakes. £21!!!... The fish had more grease and fat then fish and the chips were all black, not eatable."
• "We were here yesterday and tried your fish and chips for the first time. They were absolutely excellent- fish perfectly cooked with plenty of taste and texture, and amazingly sweet-tasting chips with perfect temperature and also really good texture."
