The food was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully, at an affordable price. There are plenty of options available for those who are not fans of fish. I will definitely be returning.

I am a regular at this fish and chip shop as a local resident. However, tonight I had the worst piece of fish I have ever experienced. I ordered a large cod, but it was mostly batter that was rock hard and extremely greasy. It made me sick to the point where it caused an argument between me and my wife. I was so disappointed that I considered throwing it back at them. I can't believe how bad the fish was. I am not sure if we will ever return. My wife mentioned that the meal cost £20.90, which only added to my frustration.

Lovely fish and chips. Little bit of a wait but then that's freshness guaranteed. The portions are massive so while it looks expensive it's well worth it. They do an oap special as well and the dining area is now open. Highly recommended

First and last time visiting here. After looking at the menu online I thought that’s good value so decided to pick up dinner for the family on the way home. When entering the premises I noticed the post it notes covering all the prices with a steep rise. However, with today’s climate, gave them the benefit of the doubt. I wish I hadn’t. Total lack of communication between staff which meant wrong food items being paired up in boxes. Paying £8 for what I can only say resembled a fish finger, that was covered in that much grease that the bottom of the box it came in disintegrated before I even got home. The chips undercooked and again swimming in grease, which was handy as they could baste themselves as I had to finish cooking them in the oven. We all persevered and found that everything that was battered left a bitter rancid taste in the mouth so after a valiant effort by all, gave up and threw it in the bin. I think that will be the most expensive food waste caddy I will ever put out for collection.
