What Isabel Turner doesn't like about The Master Fryer:
I've ordered chips from here over 3 times now, and each times they've been undercooked and soggy. Absolutely awful. The battered fish was massive and tasted ok, but you pay the price for the size. Personally it's poor value for money. View all feedback. What Andy Simpson likes about The Master Fryer:
Marvellous fish and chip shop. We've been calling in here on our way to the ferry for over a decade. Superb fish and chips, friendly, upbeat team behind the counter, the owner always remembers us. Highly recommend. View all feedback.
