When I asked for a large portion of chips, I received a small one every time. The fish was also disappointing, being slimy and clearly not fresh. The battered sausages were undercooked and had a taste of old oil. Furthermore, the prices were exorbitant. The staff seemed more interested in their phones than in their customers, handling food right after touching their dirty devices. They appeared unwelcoming and lacked personal hygiene, with one man and two women being particularly rude and ill-mannered. The overall cleanliness of the shop was questionable, with employees sitting on sacks of potatoes and smoking near the door. It is best to avoid this place entirely.

Very very average fish and chips, lukewarm and greasy, polystyrene boxes, service indifferent, poor value and not worth checking out. read more Very very average fish and chips, lukewarm and greasy, polystyrene boxes, service indifferent, poor value and not worth checking out.

The fish and chips are still good although running out of fish at 7 o'clock on a Friday night didn't really impress. The biggest complaint is the policy of getting rid of bottles of vinegar and using a garden spray to apply a mist of vinegar to be wafted over the top fish and chips. This is not how traditional fish and chips should be served. It is cheapskate and unacceptable. The mist spray is also caused quite a stir in the local Facebook sites. If the policy isn't changed it will damage their business. That would be a shame.
