Customers rave about the outstanding freshness of the fish, typically cod and haddock, which is always cooked to order. The crispy chips complement the perfectly battered fish, creating a delightful balance of textures. Portion sizes receive constant praise, with many describing meals as generous enough to satiate even the heartiest appetites.
Another favorite aspect is the quick service—perfect for fast food without sacrificing quality. The cheerful staff takes special requests easily, ensuring every meal can be tailored to personal preferences.

Most Disliked
Occasional waiting times draw some complaints from patrons who prefer immediate service. However, this often speaks to the high volume of customers, a testament to the quality food being enjoyed. While some might find the takeaway-only option limiting for a sit-down meal, this speaks to their commitment to supplying quality fish and chips as quickly as possible.
The lack of extensive dining facilities may hinder those looking for a more traditional dining experience. However, those who embrace the takeaway approach appreciate the convenience and speed. All in all, the focus remains firmly on delivering excellent fish that keeps customers coming back, regardless of minor inconveniences.

What can I say... superb! Fine fare cooked to perfection. Lovely fish, crispy chips and plenty of food in each generous portion. To the folk who complain about waiting, these guys are busy for a reason. The best chippys have the longest queues. Avoid places where you're served immediately! Definitely recommend.

To all the bad reviewers, if you want fancy fast food, go to London or the big city. I've been here 4 years and this is the best fast food I've found. Large portions and fresh. I'm going again tonight, 4th time in 2 weeks!

Fresh food, cooked while you wait. Fantastic quality of fish. Clean, friendly fish and chip shop, take away only but you can phone ahead to order, usually takes 10mins. Large menu. Burgers, kebabs, cod, plaice & haddock also big choice of sides ie garlic mushrooms. Always a favourite for my Mom and I when wanting a fairly priced fresh meal. Staff are very accommodating ie we like lightly battered cod which is no problem with them.

Battered chips option! Wow. Opens until 10 with convenience store adjacent. Parking. Be patient - cook fresh to order. Only had battered chips so far but excellent! Well worth the journey.
