I came here on Christmas eve morning just after they opened at 11.30 as I was fairly close and feeling hungry. I am getting on in years so I ordered the OAP fish and chips which is very reasonably priced. I was served by a lovely young lady who could not have been nicer to me. I have to say that my fish and chips were amazing (crispy batter and lovely crispy chips) and just the right portion for me. I also enjoyed a nice cuppa tea to wash it down with. Definitely one of the best fish restaurants I have ever been to.

Lovely food but not always easy to park and so busy there is always bit of a wait. Worth pre-ordering.

Brilliant. I had a box deal for under £10. Cod bites - fresh, crispy and flakey fish inside.Chips - hot, no soggy chips here, proper tasty thick and with a bit of crunch.Mushy peas - very tasty, again hot.Ability to order online for collection, but I just popped in. Ideal if you’re in the premier inn next door!!

Ordered off deliveroo 1 items of my daughters chips missing so she only had nuggets. Tried to phone the shop no one picking up tried near on 35 minutes to speak to someone just sent to answerphone .If you have any issues with your delivery cannot contact anyone in the shop as no one picks up the phone .very disappointed with the service .Will be ordering elsewhere from now on !

We order from here on a regular (weekly) basis and it used to be brilliant but recently it has gone downhill, everything is either soggy or overcooked. We used to chose this over others despite it being more expensive because it was worth it.Now I'm not sure it is.

Bouys is constantly changing, keeping up with the developing world. Covid didn't keep them down.A friendly large chippy with seating should you want it. An easy online ordering platform for collection, or turn up and order as normal, a wide selection of food and a good choice of vegetarian foot. Only downside is that it is cooked with the meat. But this is made clear on the board inside.They are a bit far out but I'm happy to travel for better service.

Freshly cooked to order, absolutely delicious, the best fish and chips in years. Great staff and super clean facilities, perfect place for lunch if you want to dine in or takeaway, lots of space for parking too. Busy venue but never rushed. Cooked and presented to perfection 10 out of 10 ?

As the nearby Premier Inn has no restaurant we used this excellent place instead, as I'm not a fan of TGI Friday which shares the hotel site.
First time visiting here and what a great place. Friendly and helpful staff and lovely, very hot food. Just how I like it. Parking available. Will be returning for sure. The chips were delicious. Crisp and golden and not greasy. Edit...well I'm not sure what happened tonight . We returned with a friend as we enjoyed it last time....what a disappointment. Over cooked thin pieces of fish. The chips were more like scraps from the fryer. Such a shame. Won't be back. Waste of £43.

This was our second visit as we had been for lunch and really enjoyed it. However, our second visit at around 7.30 this evening was terrible. We ordered three cod and chips. The chips were all little tiny bits and fragments and the fish was thin and dried with loads of batter. We won't return. Such a shame after our initial visit. £42 wasted.

So disappointed. Have been coming here for years. But the standard just keeps going down and down.Chip bap was a cheap bun with 5 chips in it. Rip off.Asked for salt and vinegar on chips. Nothing on them. Tasted bland.Also, the family size chips have been removed for some time, which gives me the impression they are trying to squeeze as much money from us as possible. I understand business is business, but no excuse for ripping off customers with such small portions and bad quality.Unfortunately, this is the last time me and my family will be using Buoys again.****UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER.I remember buying family size chips a few times at Buoys. I even asked the girl behind the counter how many scoops of chips is that. The answer was 3 and a half.I am telling you - the brioche bun my daughter was served was flimsy and felt cheap. A fresh crusty roll would be a better option.You have avoided the fact it only came with 5 chips at 3.50p. This is robbery. Looking at some of your other reviews this has come up before, but again, you take no responsibility or care enough to rectify the issue.You also avoid answering to the fact our chips had no salt and vinegar and tasted bland, despite the fact the ticket stated we asked for salt and vinegar on it.What has happened to this place? Not only is the food smaller and tasteless but the management has no customer service training.

Fresh cooked fish was crispy but older piece had doughy batter. Chips were crispy and tasty.

My grandson is autistic and he felt totally relaxed, very clean and the chips were delicious.Kid-friendliness: Every child loves a slush puppy and they had a great selection.
