Really hard work here,it’s like going back 30 years the organisation is shockingly out of date and they need to restructure,for them!have fish ready,5 at a time have sausage in batter ready 10 at a time !Have someone wrapping the food that is fast and competent fast turnover,more money and better organised.Good food and nice owner otherwise I would have gave it 1 star 👍

I just arrived one or two minutes before they were due to close, it would have been easy for them to send me away.Instead the fryer went through into the prep room and came back with a lovely piece of fish, that she proceeded to cook to perfection.As it was very last orders I got a stack of chips as well. Sadly, they had no peas left, next time perhaps.The food was excellent and very well enjoyed all served up by two ladies who were still giggling after a twelve hour shift.Top place!

Delivery 15 minutes late who cares i dont,lots of things can happen for this to occur traffic,weather,staff shortages.What i do care about is when i order 2 X Regular Fish and Chips,1 Large Fish and Chips and im missing a Regular Fish and Chips and the delivery is late.What i do care about is when i order 1 of each type of Curry Sauce and get instead 1 Curry Sauce,1 Gravy and 1 Mushy Peas.Unlike grocery home deliveries i didnt tick no box that stated "substitutes allowed or just send me what you want".It was a small order of 3 meals and 2 condiments and that could not even be delivered correctly,somebodies got to beable to read orders correctly once received and make sure what has been ordered is in the bags before setting off to the customers home.From Damon Moffatt.

If the review was just for the food it would be 5 stars, no complaints there at all. Freezing cold Monday night and it took a good 40 minutes to be served. There were about 4/5 people in front of us, one being an elderly gentleman who only wanted 2x fish and chips. One customer was served at a time which meant a lot of standing around waiting for certain orders which was frustrating when there were fish under the lights that could have been served to someone else in the queue. At one point the queue stretched down the street and some just gave up and left. I understand times are hard with covid and staffing issues but there just didn’t seem to be anything in place to get customers seen quickly. I should have said something to the lady serving but she was nice and did eventually apologise for the wait. It’s a missed opportunity because on a Monday night nowhere else is open so there’s the potential to get lots of new customers who regularly use other chippies.

First of all the food was excellent and a good price, which I suppose is the main point.So why not 5 stars?I did not appreciate being told off, with a harsh tone, for being the 3rd adult in the shop when COVID restrictions limited to 2! I was happy to go back outside and wait thinking I had made a mistake, but when I checked there were No signs informing customers of this limit. How can you comply when the limit isn't posted? It was not my mistake, I had not missed the sign as I initially assumed was the case.The harsh challenge regarding occupancy was followed up with similar behaviour; I felt uncomfortable with the way the younger staff were being treated and spoken to by the lady whom I assume is the manager or owner. It was really busy, bonfire night, and they had a full rail of Internet orders to deal with. But civility costs nothing! It is not nice to see such behaviour and be an ineffective bystander witness. There wasn't opportunity to say anything at the time, nor do I believe it would have been well recieved, but I hope this review causes some reflection and subsequent improvement in the staff working conditions.

The fish and chips are lovely, however waiting time is dreadful. Surely, at busy times ,several fish should be put in to fry rather than waiting until the customer gets to the front of the queue and asking what they want and then putting it in to fry.Something needs to change or business will be lost. I stuck it out , when I went a couple of weeks ago, however several people gave up in frustration and went elsewhere.

Visited here on Friday evening and had a fish butty, it was really nice and tasty and would definitely come here again. Friendly staff were getting though the queue dispite having power issues.Lovely. See you again.
