Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the perfectly fried cod and chip portions; they’re hefty, well-priced, and reliably tasty. The friendly service has won many hearts; patrons have noted how the staff goes above and beyond, even adding extra items to orders without hesitation.
The kebabs have generated a lot of buzz—especially the lamb kebab complemented with original mint sauce! Popularity peaks during dinner times, especially on Fridays when the fish and chips crowd rallies for a classic chippy experience. A clean and inviting setting tops off the experience, making it a delightful spot for families and friends.
Most Disliked
Not every review is overwhelmingly positive—some diners believe that prices are slightly higher than expected for traditional fish and chips. However, most still find the prices reasonable for the quality and service provided.
Additionally, during peak hours, especially on Fridays, wait times can be longer than average. The crowded nature can lend to a noisy atmosphere, which might not be ideal for those seeking a quieter meal. But eavesdropping on fellow diners' laughter and conversations does add a community charm to the experience.

Sorted us a large meal for 4 people just before they closed, no issue and even chucked in some extras for free. The geezers behind the counter were lovely and friendly, would definitely come here again
