Love this chippy, been a customer for many many years. However, the ribs recently reduced in portion size by easily 50% which I found really disappointing. I hate to criticise the place but paying full price for half of what you're accustomed to is sad. A favourite item I'll no longer order. If I notice other reduced portions as others point out I'll be going elsewhere for the first time in years.

Unfortunately, it wasn't open when stated. Google opening times and opening times displayed on shop door haven't been updated. It's a shame as we were looking forward to trying this place out and we walked out of our way to get there.

Lived in Formby over 30yrs. Always passed James because it never looked busy and assumed meals would be substandard. Was in the pet store next door some weeks ago and thought I'd try some fish and chips. GREAT, fish was huge, couldn't finish off all the chips and £2 cheaper than the other chippies in Formby. Been in a few times since. Very nice pleasant staff. Being a fish, chips and peas man l can't comment on other meals.

Placed an order an hour in advance and asked for vegetarian spring rolls and they gave me meat ones. When I called up and double checked they did apologise but I overheard one of them say they just threw whatever was available into the fryer. I’ve pre-ordered from here a bunch of times before and the food has always been delicious but I feel sick at the thought of consuming meat and don’t feel comfortable ordering from here again. Please be aware if you have a dietary restriction or a food allergy.

Shame a "Large" chips isn't large. But hey that's shrinkflation for you. Shame they close early and you can't go after the pub closes.
