Took my Nan to get some fish and chips from our old favourite fish and chip shop today as I've not seen her in a long time. We were very excited to receive these. Brought them home... Well, it wasn't what we were expecting. Hard...potatoes not cooked through. Very fishy tasting oil soaking the food. Thick gloopy batter dripping in fat surrounding a fish that was so dry and I hard, it wouldn't even cut with a steak knife. I'm sorry to say, this fish bar has lost customers that have been going for years.

Sadly this chippy just isn't up to standard. Expect thick, mushy batter and rubbish chips unfortunately. Our meal was very disappointing Happy Cod has a lot of work to do before competing with the other good chippies in Uckfield and me considering ordering from them...again

We had cod and chips on a weeknight. Ordered in their website for collection. They charged extra for ordering directly on their website compared to In the shop. Waited ages. The chips were pale and unappetising. The fish was disgusting. The batter has a strange flexible texture, not crispy. It had soaked up a serious amount of oil. It was orangey colour. Don't risk going. Head to one of the fish and chip shops on Uckfield high street.
