I love coming here for my takeaway meal. I have always experienced friendliness and they cater to my wishes without a problem. The food is always delicious, fresh and reasonably priced. If I have any gripes re food, it would be that if you buy a burger you don't need anything else. This is because the burgers are MASSIVE! YUMMY

Nice staff, unusual hours for a fish and chip shop however, usually shuts before the afternoon/night but open most of the day

Our go-to takeaway place. Fish 'n' chips are always delicious, never too oily. Burgers are yummy too. We phone our order through, so no need to wait during busy times. Definitely recommend.

The chips are gooood, especially the garlic chips. They are our go to! Apparently the fish is amazing too. I wouldn't know because I don't eat seafood. Lol. Abit pricey but fish n chips are expensive these days right? The food is good. The service is lacking majorly and can tend to leave a bad taste in your mouth. They aren't very friendly and there's always a long wait even if you have only ordered a scoop of chips. They also come across as rude and extremely impatient. Check their hours too before you go otherwise you might be left disappointed.
