Coming from the Greater London area, this is the best fish and chips I've ever had. This is a diamond gem near the sea.
Nice and lovely haddock and chips I had, I found it tasty and enjoyable. Good treat after coming from the seaside. My only complaint is that it was very unclear what the total price was and it’s cash only so it can be awkward. I had medium fish and chips and a medium chips and I expected to pay £8.20 but I was charged £10.40 not sure how.
Enjoyed the fish and the chips as am from glasgow finding a fish shop that did a good fish supper was a nightmare here in kent but this one not that bad still the chippys around here can't do a proper battered sausage as a chippy in glasgow.
Great tasting fish and chips, fresh and top quality and a regular portion was Huge! (See pic of my half eaten fish) Would have given a 5* rating, but they don't take Card! I hate facilities that don't take card. It's obvious VAT dodging. Luckily a cash machine is nearby. I couldn't enjoy the food at the restaurant due to covid restrictions but stunk out my car instead! ...was worth it as I ate every bit!
Fantastic bit of grub. The cod was massive and could've fed 2 of us easily, we'll. The batter wasn't greasy and had a wicked crunch to it. The chip were fluffy and hot. I had a cheeky sausage in batter, which was lovely.
Came on a busy Friday, food was fresh and perfect, slow but can’t complain on a Friday night
Friendly staff and great local fish and chips shop. Highly recommend
