    This evening, I used this chippy, wearing a face mask, as now legally required, (as were all staff working too). Two other customers were inside, not wearing masks. I commented to one of the staff that it is now law for customers to wear masks and she said they cannot police it. I advised that a sign could be placed, requesting customers to wear them, the same staff member said there was one. (I could not see any sign, I looked before entering, also on leaving). While waiting, I remarked that the customers not wearing masks could wait outside, having placed their orders. I was ignored. I did not feel safe, despite what your website says about this aspect, with regard to COVID 19. As I was about to drive off, another customer entered, again no mask worn. The food was fine, but my appetite had been spoilt by this poor experience. Please place clearly visible, polite signs up and if necessary, request customers to wear them, no policing is necessary. Thank you.

    Poor sized fish all batter 1oz fish 3oz batter compared to the customer who came in 5 minutes after me not wearing a mask, his must have been twice the size and as the customer asked "lightly battered" I only noticed as they both came out of the fryer one after the other must look after the ones flaunting the law After waiting longer than everyone else the overall service experience and food was sub standard one to avoid in the future I think.

    Can't fault it! Top quality fish, chips, mushy peas, mug of tea, bread and butter. Seniors special - only £5.50. Unbelievable price!! Only £4.50 if having pie or pudding instead of fish! Marvellous!

    The food is nice in the cafe or takeaway. Just one thing is the waiting time. I have to wait longer in this chippy than I do in other chippys. And other chippy cook from fresh as well. Last time I was in my waiting time was 35 minutes just for 2 orders..........
