This is the best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the batter was beautifully crispy. The staff were very friendly as well. I ordered the gurnard, and the portion of chips was so generous that it could easily feed two people!

This is the best fish and chip shop in the city. It's not only great value for money, but the lady at the fryer always cooks the fish to perfection every time. She really stands out with her excellent customer service during every visit, even when it's busy, and the cooking time is impressively quick!

We have been getting fish-N-chips from this load (and the load that is known earlier as alton street takeaways.) the best in nelson. I especially recommend the potato fritter (flips) as a delicious supplement to any meal. so grateful for the effort and dedication!

This was the WORST place ever. 57$ for 2 fish 2 scoops 1 chocolate explosion 1 crabstick 1 mini hotdog. All soggy and just rank. Had to get the price checked 2 times as they told me 2 different prices, they missed one crabstick as I ordered two. When I rang back to tell them they missed a grabstick they said "well so what do ya want. Absolutely disgusting food with a disgusting price. Undercooked batter soggy chips. Our family going to be sick tomorrow that 's for sure.

Terrible meal, burger completely raw. Fish somehow overcooked with undercooked batter. The whole meal was drenched in oil, I could seriously squeeze the hotdogs and oil dripped off them. Disgusting. Left hungry.
