They work so hard and are the friendliest you could find. A busy night tonight, so clearly others are cottoning on too! The food’s lovely, great veggie or gluten free options and it’s always fresh. We tend to order for collection and always recognise us, by name, which makes us smile. Honestly, we love treating ourselves to a chippy tea now. Thank you team for always making it a pleasure, even when you must be roasting!

We have been here before and it's been ok but we found the portion a little small but on our last visit the portion sizes were so much better, lovely big fish and also lots of extras that can be made gluten free such as pineapple fritters that you don't often get. I would really recommend it. Gluten free chips are available all the time but if you want anything else gluten free they recommend phoning ahead so they can turn on the gluten free fryer and have it ready for when you get there.

After nearly 6 minutes, I was finally served, only to be told that I would have to wait another 6 minutes for my fish to be cooked, even though there were already 3 portions ready for pre-orders. I didn't have time to wait any longer and expressed my frustration, only to be told to pre-order next time. I felt unimportant as a visitor compared to the regular local customers. I felt invisible and ignored while they chatted amongst themselves. It's clear that the owner doesn't need to cater to people like me who try to support small businesses. I won't be returning in the future.

The chips when they were scooped out of the warmer looked grey, like they had been there for a while. We ended up cancelling our order. It was all very off putting sadly

We have given them a couple of chances while we have lived in Wickham and they have been equally bad both times. Far better to visit Bishops Waltham or Fareham for edible food.
