"Haven't been here for over 20 years. The food was delicious then and years later is even more delicious. We had large fish and chips / large sausage and chips. The food was piping hot and was so yummy! I'll make sure it's not another 20 years before I return. Very friendly staff here also. Thankyou."

"Thought I'd try here as on the way home. Nice fresh chips, although smaller portion than my usual place and quite a lot of batter on fish, but fish tasted good. Two young lads serving were very good, but man doing the cooking was very brusque and rude to them and customers. Maybe he was having a bad day!!"

"Always had a good experience here Can't fault them honestly. They don't specifically make gluten free fish and chips but the owner makes me a batter free fish and chips which is still fried in the same oil but I'm fine with traces."

"I travel 7 miles for this treat. The chips are near perfect. Almost batter crispy on the outside and cooked to perfection inside. I advise more vinegar than usual as they soak it up with no compromising of their crispiness. I recommend no other chippy's anywhere"

"Very good takeaway. If you don't like/want too much batter on your fish, they will remove the excess before frying. Other half always chooses fried fresh chicken portion and says never disappoints."
