Description
The local fish and chip shop has garnered a mixed reception lately, with fresh fish cooked to perfection often praised. However, issues such as inconsistent chip quality, rude service, and cleanliness detract from the experience. While some diners report on the delightful freshness and generous portions, others lament long wait times and high prices for smaller-than-expected portions. Customers have expressed disappointment with managerial behavior, leading to lost loyalty. Despite these concerns, there are still fans who appreciate the takeaway options and variety offered, showcasing potential for improvement amidst the criticism.

I always stop by this restaurant for their delicious Large Cod and Chips. They offer a variety of drinks, including cream soda. Their Jumbo sausages and spring rolls are also tasty. It's definitely worth a visit, and you can call ahead to place your order for collection. They also now offer local delivery.
I have had chips from this restaurant before and was satisfied. Recently, I ordered the 'large' cod and found it to be extremely expensive for the portion size. It was not as big as expected for the price of £7. The food was cooked decently. The staff seemed nice, but there was an issue with the delivery. The delivery person got 'lost' and ended up driving around for an extra 40 minutes, causing our food to arrive cold. I had to call the shop after 30 minutes to check on the status of my order, and they assured me it would arrive soon, but it took another hour. This was disappointing as I had better experiences in the past. The portion sizes were not worth the cost, and I was left wondering how small the medium cod would be if this was considered large. I may consider ordering chips again in the future, but overall, it was a letdown.
I had a fantastic meal at Ocean Basket. The food was freshly prepared and the portions were huge, so don't order too many chips. The menu had a great variety, including delicious cod strips.
I have to mention the date as the fish cooked on that evening was thickly battered and overcooked burnt. Disappointed but clearly down to that particular cook.
