Description

In the bustling town of Wells, a local fish and chips venue has garnered mixed reviews. While some diners rave about the exceptional quality of the fish and chips—highlighting the crispy batter and well-cooked fish—others express disappointment with inconsistent portions and service, featuring overly thick batter that masks the fish. The restaurant's atmosphere, described by some as youthful and chaotic, has been criticized for service delays. Nevertheless, many agree that when prepared right, the fish and chips offer great value for money, making this establishment a promising stop for visitors seeking a hearty meal amid their travels.

I use this takeaway once a week and I have to say, tonight, Tuesday August 8th was perfect. The fish was lovely and battered to perfection, not like the usual overcooked stuff you get. The staff usually take a long time to serve orders because they spend so much time talking to each other, but not tonight. The staff was great. However, the restaurant seems to be missing out on business. Six people were turned away on a Tuesday night because they wanted to eat in the restaurant and ended up going to Wetherspoons. It's unfortunate that the business has declined due to some ignorant staff members. It's a shame because they have the monopoly in Wells as the only place for decent fish and chips. This may change when the new fish bar opens in the near future.

The service at this restaurant is efficient, quick, and pleasant. The portions are huge and beautifully cooked. However, the fish and chips may not travel well and can become a bit flabby by the time you get home. This is not the restaurant's fault, as it happens with takeaway fish and chips from anywhere. Overall, this is a good place to dine.

I highly recommend this restaurant for their delicious fish and chips. The fish was cooked perfectly, not greasy or fatty, with a lovely crispy batter that was not soft or soggy like at some other places.

Always excellent food. Chips are lovely and fresh and so is the fish. Always a pleasure to visit. I wish I wasn’t on a diet so I could visit more often!

Great chips.proper chippie chips! The quality of the chicken nuggets was great lovely chunky chicken breast not the cheap processed type you so often get. Really nice food but can I suggest ditching the awful polystyrene containers. Think of the environment and just use paper to wrap tbe food in.
