Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the perfectly cooked fish—whether it's cod, haddock, or the lighter options like skate and scampi. The batter achieves the perfect balance of crispness without being oily, making each bite satisfying.
Generous portions bring smiles to hungry patrons, while the gluten-free options create happiness for those with dietary restrictions. Many visitors recommend trying the mushy peas paired with curry sauce, offering a delightful spin on traditional accompaniments. The shop's friendly service garners praise, making every visit enjoyable. Overall, patrons appreciate the combination of great value for money and the community feel that keeps them coming back.
Most Disliked
Some customers note that during peak times, the wait for food can lengthen, possibly due to the well-deserved popularity of the place. While most patrons appreciate the efficiency, large orders can sometimes cause slight delays, although they are typically handled with professionalism.
A few reviews mention that options can occasionally run out during busy hours, particularly for the more popular dishes like the Large Sausage Meal. This makes being early a good idea if you have a particular craving in mind. While the warm, casual atmosphere is generally liked, some diners might prefer a quieter setting for their meal.

The best fish and chips! Cod and haddock cooked perfectly in a delicious crispy batter. Mushy peas are nice and the chips are too. Excellent gluten-free options. Huge portions! Lovely people.

A great experience with great food. I have a tenancy to order a lot of food, due to the number of people I have to feed. They were completely unfazed by the large order, and prepared it quickly and efficiently, whilest also not neglecting other customers (to whom I apologise for any delay caused by my attempt to buy out the whole stock!). Not a single mistake. All food was fantastic and all members of my family agreed. "best fishcake I've had in ages" "so many chips!" "superb" We'll be back!

Visited the place last week. Quick service. Fish and chips, and scampi and chips were very nicely cooked. Fish was not oily at all. It had a nice texture. The batter was perfectly crisp and light - just right. The scampi was pure meat with no fillers. Portions are good size too. The ladies that served us were very polite and friendly. We were very happy with the food and I am sure we will be coming back soon.
