“ Our usual chip shop is closed so we've been trying others in the area. This one did not disappoint. It was spotless and well ordered with a friendly man behind the counter who clearly took pride in his work. The food was freshly cooked and extremely delicious, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and the portions very generouss. Easily worth the money. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for the full package: tasty food, hygienic surroundings and friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting it again soon! ”

“ Fish is always cooked to order, friendly staff. Very clean shop. Fish is always boxed so the batter never comes off or squashed. Ask in shop about Gluten Free Batter. Food is always tasty here. ”

“ Tried this place today, was sceptical as I’m a bit of a foodie. The Fish was cooked fresh & to perfection, The batter was soft yet crispy with a nice Golden hue. The fish was pure White and came away in nice chunks when eating, A prime catch if you ask me. The chips were yet again very well cooked, golden & crispy with a soft inside, Both were neither under nor overcooked but just as you’d like it. There was very little flavour of oil in the food, Some other places reuse old oil and it ruins the flavour, This place definitely cares about what their customers are eating. The establishment itself was clean & smelled fresh, Visually it was well presented with a modern yet vintage feel, nice old school family owned shop. Not like a greasy chippie at all, The staff was very polite and well presented. The Prices were also fair for the quality of food. This is a local business you guys should support when thinking of your next take-away ”
