First time I went in today, very friendly staff and really good prices. I had the fish special which was coley rather than cod or haddock and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be popping in again. Fantastic

Greeted by staff who couldn't do enough for you. Great service .... Then a little starter of a patty butty on recommendation of the waitress. She suggested salt and lots of vinegar but I insisted on gravy aswel. It transpires I was correct However the fish was served with very crispy golden batter,the chips wasn't greasy but golden and fluffy covered in vinegar sandwiches in bread with thick tasty gravy, salt pepper as a garnish. service was impeccable

First time we have used this takeaway as we are not local .Had to wait for food but this was not a problem as everything was piping hot and the fish which was cooked to order upon entering was absolutely delicious. . Looks like they deliver and also take telephone orders. Definitely recommend a visit.

I ordered large fish and small chips with mush peas.... Devine!! Far far superior to any other chip shop I’ve tried in the area. I haven’t lived here long and had given up hope of finding a decent chippy, until now. Will definitely be back. Probably weekly haha. Oh and the delivery driver was a really nice chap.
