Most Disliked
Occasionally, some customers point out inconsistencies in chip quality, mentioning a few could be overcooked or dry. Others have noted that peak hours might lead to slight wait times, even though most agree the food is worth it.
Additionally, while the casual style suits many, diners looking for a fancy ambiance might be disappointed. Lastly, vegan options are limited, which might deter some health-conscious eaters from indulging in this classic.

We had been recommended that we should try this place. Just fancied Cod and Chips. Upon arrival the place was empty, but it was the hottest day this year. Cod was fresh, well cooked, full of flavour. Not greasy nor dried out. The chips were hot and were proper chips. Again not greasy, although one or two were a little dried out. But the portion made up for those that were not up to scratch. It has been some time since I have had fish from chippy so the price caught me off guard.

Great value, best in the area from what I’ve experienced. The fish was just what you want from a local chippy, crispy batter and crumbly white fish. A large chips was enough to serve both me and my girlfriend and we only waited about 5 minutes. Perfect chippy! Plenty of parking outside too
