The crispy, golden haddock takes center stage, with many declaring it the best they’ve ever had. Portions are generously sized, satisfying both hunger and cravings without breaking the bank. Customers rave about the large chips, which come perfectly cooked and crisp, complementing the fish flawlessly. The combination of mushy peas and curry sauce is another highlight, drawing praises for its unique flavor pairing. Friendly staff add a personal touch to the experience, often remembered for their warm service, making each visit feel special. Many patrons also appreciate the late-night service, ensuring that even after-hours, satisfying comfort food is just a takeaway away.
Most Disliked
Some guests have noted that the oil can occasionally seep onto the paper, causing a minor mess. While it doesn't overshadow the taste, it's worth mentioning, especially for those who prefer a tidier meal environment. The new packing method has improved this issue lately, but consistency remains a point of feedback.
During peak hours, especially Fridays at 7 PM, the bustling crowd can lead to longer wait times for orders. It's not uncommon to face a crowd, so early birds or those visiting during less busy hours will likely find a more relaxed experience. Certain customers have suggested ensuring fish is dried properly before serving to prevent sogginess, which highlights the importance of careful food preparation.

The cheapest and tastiest fish and chips in the city.... Great service. One note to the team just make sure the oil on the fish fry should be dried properly before serving as the chips and outer paper gets struck with the fillet. Recently the method of packing has changed and no sticking of fillets with the paper

Mini fish and chips for 3.80 pounds. Very cheap, service is good and delicious. Their portions are huge. I saw the chicken tikka and fries it was loaded with full of meat for 4 pounds small I'm going to get that the next time. Their lamb and chicken kebab looks amazing as well. Fish is crispy on the outside n tender on the inside. 5 stars!!!
