The Old Fryer - Down

After a busy day I decided to go and buy fish and pasties for myself and my family. I had food from this takeaway before and it was very nice. However on this occasion I was really disappointed. The fish was swimming in grease and the batter looked very un inviting. The pasties had been thrown into the packaging together and when I opened the paper they simply fell apart. One of the pasties had bits of black batter on it. There were large chunks of onion in the pasties. I returned to the shop and complained and they offered to cook new food for me however I declined and got a refund instead. A very bad experience

Love the old fryer. their fish are excellent. they have a wide and diverse menu

I absolutely adore the Old Fryer. Their Fish Suppers are fantastic. The menu is diverse and offers a wide selection.

The Old Fryer is on my way home from town. Its a pretty standard looking chip shop from the road and is the same inside. It's carry out only so the idea of it having to have funky décor is a bit redundant. The staff are nice and the food is pretty solid generally. On occasion we've found that the likes of the chicken burgers and goujons etc can be a bit sub par, this is a let down considering the chips themselves and the fish portions are by turn, that bit above average, so on average it's average, unless you go for fish and chips, in which case I think you should be happy enough! The only other thing of note would be that if you are passing, getting stopped outside is unlikely as there are only about 3 spots to park on the bay outside.
