In for the first time on the 05.06.2023 and will definitely be back. This visit was on the back of a recommendation and I have to say it was absolutely beautiful. The battered cod was exceptional. The batter was light and crispy and the chicken goujons were the nicest I have ever eaten, again the batter was light and crispy. My partner had the chicken fillet burger. It was massive and also agreed on the batter itself whilst saying it was the best they have had. Great customer service and very reasonably priced.

I placed an order and ordered a gravy chip which ended up costing me £6.70. Input in the notes requesting gravy as it Wasn’t in the choice of sauce a s ended up with a chip with no sauce and when I phoned I was charged £3.30 for a tub of gravy . I am not impressed at this at all . Really bad service .

The chips were mushy and full of grease. Quite inedible. Very disappointed as spent £8:40 on 2 portions. Threw most out

Takeaway Cod Chips, curry sauce. On arriving home the Batter was raw, very undercooked. Chips hadn't been cooked through and where extremely soft. Curry sauce in the bin as overcooked tasted horrible. I rescued the chips in air fryer with some cod. Disappointing meal.
