Description

In the heart of Newhaven, opinions on the local fish and chips shop are sharply divided. Many patrons celebrate its excellence, praising the fresh, flavorful offerings, particularly the crispy batter and unique curry sauce. Friendly staff and attentive service add to the charm, making it a loved neighborhood gem. However, a significant number of reviews highlight a stark decline in quality, with complaints about soggy, undercooked chips and unfriendly service. Concerns about hygiene and consistency further tarnish its reputation. While some hail it as the best fish and chips around, others vow never to return, indicating a pressing need for improvement.

Had fish and chips here a few days ago. 4 different orders and all served perfectly. good fish and non-fat chips, right. staff very helpful and served with a smile.

Great chippy, one of the few places south where you can get broken haggis. originally thought the price of £4 was expensive, but it was enormous. also with chips it took 20 minutes, understandable, as it was a special order. although the dinge were for most longer than usual, due to the protocols for covid. they took a very "safe first" approach, and although it was a bit of a faff that had to wait outside, it was probably for the best.

Well worth the ride from crawley. beautiful freshly cooked fish chips parked at sea in newhaven.
