Description

Shaw's, a beloved fish and chip shop, has faced mixed reviews following its change in ownership. While the fish often receives praise for its crispy batter and generous portions, the quality of the chips has fallen under scrutiny, with many customers noting issues like dryness and unusual aftertastes. Although the service remains friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is reported to be quieter than before. However, some loyal patrons still appreciate the value of large orders, especially the mini-fish box, which provides a hearty meal for families at an attractive price. Overall, loyal fans hope for a return to the quality that made Shaw's a favorite.

I visited Shaw's for the first time since it changed ownership. The server was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt quieter compared to before. The batter on the fish was wonderful—nice and crispy—but the chips were quite dry and had an unusual aftertaste, so I couldn't finish them. I really liked the original Shaw's because I sometimes have trouble with certain oil blends, and I never had any issues there since they used their own family recipe for the oil. Unfortunately, now I need to look for a new fish and chips place.

This has always been my favorite fish and chip shop, but I was really disappointed during my last visit. The chips were cold, dry, and seemed like they were double-cooked. I truly hope things improve there. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
