Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Food enthusiasts rave about the crispy batter enveloping the succulent fish. Many patrons highlight the generous portion sizes, especially the Regular Haddock and Chips, which offer incredible value for just over £10. A seemingly simple menu gets elevated with popular pairings like curry sauce and fish cakes. Reviewers commonly remark on the friendly atmosphere and engaging staff that make the dining experience feel personal. Loyal customers return not just for the food, but also for the warm, welcoming vibe that feels more like a community gathering than a simple takeaway.
Most Disliked
A few visitors have mentioned that busy hours may lead to a slightly longer wait for food, although they understand that this ensures a freshly prepared meal. Some also wish for more seating options for dine-in meals, especially during peak times when every table might be occupied. A handful of suggestions include expanding the menu to include more side dishes or regional specialties, which could diversify the offerings even further. However, these opinions seem to be rare, as most people share overwhelmingly positive reviews.

First time 🕰️ in 6 years of giving this place a go I can’t believe I have not called in before so thought I would treat myself to nearly a free fish n chips has I was zoned out forgot to pay but went back in my bad but yer a little wait just means every thing is being cooked no rush so i got to grab a nice bench just 5 min walk before I got to tuck into the box yer the chips were chunky nice taste also the fish was quality I can safely say the box was left empty I would definitely try or highly recommend a visit .
