Heartbreaking to say this. And I hope the owners listen. I've had many a fantastic fish and chips here over the years. I'm assuming it's changed hands recently.But. Tonight guys what you doing serving nearly jet black battered fish? Clearly you haven't changed the oil for quite some time. But jet black fish?The chips on the other hand were DELICIOUS and generous. An easy 10 out of 10. Fortunately these were fried in a different vat/fryer.Fish though, wow SORT YOUR FAT PLEASE.Anyone knows the owners/lessees please please tell them because not only serving fish like that is disrespectful to their customers, even more will vote with their feet :/All the best.

I hate to give a chippy a bad review as I know they're struggling and it's a shame to keep losing them but this chip shop wasn't that impressive.Chips were nice enough if a little greasy.Fish was a bit of a strange colour and the batter wasn't very nice.They offer a meal deal with medium cod, small chips and a drink but it's more expensive than if you ordered the individual items separately so that didn't make much sense.The Fisherman's kitchen on Palmerston road is better imo but maybe it was just a bad day here

Went to this place as was the only chippy in the area. Really generous portion size, couldn’t finish a large portion and the chips were really good, they were fresh and not greasy with decent crunchy bit and hot. Had to walk about 10mins to get back to the Accommodation and they were still hot. Sausage was okay, nothing special but what you would expect from a chip shop. Will go back again when next in the area.

Inedible chips, went straight into the bin. Honestly the worst chips we've ever had - rock hard and tasted like cardboard. Were clearly cooked a while ago and refried a few times. Also the guy serving picked up a sausage to serve with his bare fingers which is really unhygienic. Looking at reviews this isn't an isolated incident. Avoid! ??

Just had the worst chips ever from this place. The chips are re-fried, which suggests they were cooked earlier in the day and then they refry only the amount of chips required per order. These were terrible. Never again from here.

said they were open walked half an hour to the shop and it’s closed really disappointing

Absolutely appalled by it being the only chippy in my area but absolutely shocked by the chips i just received stone cold and scraps. The audacity to charge £3 for small is beyond me. They keep changing hands and the service and quality has gone down hill. Doing a massive disservice to the community. Not going back if you paid me.

£30 for two ‘medium’ fish and chip set menus, and a portion of chicken nuggets for the kids.The most delicious tasting fish and chips we have had in a long time, and trust me, we have had fish and chips in an awful lot of seaside towns up and down the country.I was considering ordering the large portion, but the lad behind the counter said the medium portion was enough. I was sceptical at first, but the medium portion that came out could have feed 2 people easily.Later on, we visited the pier, where the same order would have cost us £10 extra for smaller portions.Well worth the 2 minute walk away from the sea front.I would highly recommend.

I brought chips yesterday , that were sold to me completly cold and unfresh! After complaining guy said he can make some fresh one in 10mins. While i was waiting some Ladies came in and the guy tried to give those chips to them....but saw me looking ?. Terrible,my first and last time in there.

I had the half chicken and chips. The chips weren’t bad but the pre-cooked reheated chicken was still freezing cold in the middle after being put in the fryer for a few minutes.Some staff training on basic food hygiene and temperature checks are clearly needed.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Really gone down hill ? fish was awful and I think they got to over cooked, chips horrible and generally this was poor! Service also slow! Only one person there waiting! Took 25 mins

Absolutely gopping. Ordered 2 cod and chips, took over half an hour. I think they were growing the spuds. The fish was tiny, coated in the worst batter you could imagine, pre-battered frozen fish from Iceland is better by far. Worse still is that it was so overcooked the 'batter' was almost black. And who the heck leaves skin on cod!!! And £23 for 2 small fish and chips is ridiculous. I felt like I had to ring 999 and report a robbery.

Chips raw in the middle. Tiny cod was £9......... Awful meal. Won't be back. You need to cook your food properly.
