The crispy batter on the fish is a highlight, receiving praise for its light and delightful crunch. Generous portions of chips complement the fish beautifully, offering excellent value for money. People often mention the polite and friendly staff who enhance the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit pleasant. Many reviews celebrate the freshness of the food, often cooked to order, which adds to the overall quality. The option to customize meals—like choosing mushy peas or curry sauce—is another customer favorite. Additionally, the kids' menu appeals to families, offering a variety of choices that cater to younger tastes.
Most Disliked
Occasionally, the wait times can extend during peak hours, particularly on busy weekends. Some customers have mentioned that while generally crispy, there are rare instances of soggy chips, which can detract from the experience. A few patrons find it challenging to locate parking, especially during crowded periods, but the free street parking mitigates this for the most part. Prices, while reasonable, could be a tad high for some items compared to neighboring fish and chip shops. Lastly, the limited space for dine-in can pose a challenge if the shop is packed, as seating may be sparse during busy times.

Absolutely superb. From the genuinely friendly & polite welcome, the care taken to cook fish to order and even packing the food carefully, you couldn't ask for more. The freshness and quality of all products is 10/10, excellent value for money. I would rate these guys #1 in the area without a doubt.
