Not just a chip shop, tho it is the best for miles around.The opening hours are very generous and ideal for a second breakfast on the way into work. Well worth any minor detour ???

Phoned early as we wanted a big order for a certain time. Got there at the time, only to wait another 20 minutes before it was ready. Whilst waiting quite a few people came in and ordered, got there order and left.There was no organisation, I think that was because they did not have trained staff. They all seemed young, not that it is a problem usually.Won't be going back.

I go to this chippy quite often and the food is cheap and cheerful. Although you pay slightly more than any other chip shops, It's worth it because ou get alot of food e.g a small portion here is a large portion elsewhere. It's a decent little chip shop.

Long wait to place order, had to ask if I could order, staff busy doing not much the young lady frying busy chatting to a girl (looked like her sister) who although entering after me placed her order minutes before me. After placing my order just before payment informed no haddock left so had to have cod. Would you like salt and vinegar , yes please my reply. After being in there 15 mins only 2 customers served I left with my order. On arriving home and opening the containers the S&V must have been shaken from the other side of shop, fish and batter soaking in grease (3 napkins to soak up) an batter not 100% cooked and steak and kidney pudding apart from 2 pieces of kidney was all gravy or something similar. Last year visited and was not impressed but gave it a 2nd chance but alas will not be 3rd

I like this chip shop and it is a very popular centre of the local community. The service is friendly and my order was taken by phone and was ready when I arrived to collect it. The large portion of chips were enough for the three of us but we do not have large appetites.The only fish on offer was cod which is not my usual preference but it was a good chunky portion and well cooked.My only complaint is that the batter is too thick. The outside of the fish was a delightful golden crispy brown but when you cut into it, the layer next to the fish is a glutinous semi-liquid. Such a shame.I stopped visiting this shop for that reason and when I returned after a gap of a few years it was so disappointing to find that this one fault was still there.Please have a think about your batter recipe. Such a lovely shop otherwise.

Apart from feeling I was being ignored I was able to place my order, fish cake and chips. To be honest after getting the food back home and opening to eat, the chips had a funny smell like old oil and the actual home made fish cake looked good but consisted of in cooked potatoes and odd bits of fish.Very disappointing, most of the food was thrown away.We had got take away from them before but perhaps our memory of the quality had been forgotten. We will not use them again.

Visited them this evening (17/8/23) around 19:30. Google showed good reviews so decided to visit. Friendly staff, huge portions but sadly fish and chips were cooked in the old oil. Which is not what we were expecting having travelled 3 hours from London. I understand they were closing in 30 minutes but we did not enjoy the fish and chips.Please sort it out, your priority should be clean cooking oil.

Great fish and chips - got a takeaway, was a little delayed when picking up but not by much! Very affordable!
