    I live just outside the village, its the closest chippy to where I live, since day 1 the "girls" employed are rude, have less personality than the fish they serve and the prices are beyond a joke, I'm used to Ribble Valley prices but this is now beyond funny. Its not even great food and the portions are small, it takes absolutley ages to get served. Want to get it delivered? well that will cost you an extra £5.00. Its great to read the responsed to the negative reviews here from the owners, clearly you beleive your own hype and dont think you can improve. Its chaos inside your shop with 5-6 girls behind the counter all arguing with each other, you only need 2 decent staff behind the counter to run a busy chippy. Why not visit some of the other chippys in the area to see how its done properly. I was taking to someone recenty who used to use you every week, they feel the prices are now excessive and the quality has gone down hill. They dont use you anymore as I'm sure literally 100's of other people dont. Would be great to geta positive response to the negative comments but I expect a sarcastic reply.

    Chips were scrappy and the cod was a disgrace, it was so thin they put 3 layers of fish together to make 1 thick fish. Get your act together. Only managed to eat half of it, trying to find the chunky soft chips and the best part of the fishes. Never again.

    We ordered from here and received our £50 order + £6 delivery with a missing dish. When we rang up they were extremely rude and laughing on the other end of the phone, then started throwing cheeky comments our way. Food was well below average especially for the price. Would not recommend, and wouldn’t eat again.

    Tried Chinese food from this place and both me and my partner ended up very ill, will not be ordering here again, on the plus side very good way to lose weight quickly, although lost a day of work as well.

    Food is gross and dry. Staff are absolutely beyond rude. Wish I could give it minus stars. I got food poisoning and thought I’d never see another day. AVOID THIS HORRIBLE PLACE.

    Food is good and staff ok (why so many young girls though)? The issue I have is their prices. They’ve really rocketed since COVID. I know people have to get their money back somehow but my usual has gone from £6.90 to £10.90 in perhaps 18 months. I went for a takeaway recently for me, my wife and daughter. £30! It’s a chippy..!! Last time unfortunately.

    Ordered food online at 5 pm,was told to pick the order up at 5:20,,I arrived at 5:19 only to have yo wait until 5:40 for the order to be done,the Chinese food was bland and lacked flavour,chips were undercooked,we have ordered here before and had it delivered and that was 30 mins late and cold,probably better off going in and ordering at had till,they seemed to get their food a lot quicker than me.

    Seems as though the prices increase each week. 11 pounds for a sweet and sour chicken, add 4 for the fried rice and 17 pounds for a combination starter for 2!!! Food was good but we won't be returning at these prices

    Great meal as always. There was a short wait as there were about 15-20 orders in front of me. Was told this before I placed the order. It was ready when they said and we'll worth the wait!! Thanks again! 👌

    Contacted The Friary to ask if they had vegan chips and were told they could fry them separately in oil instead of dripping and the mushy peas were vegan...called for tea with three friends after a walk and ordered four chips and mushy peas. We sat in a small seating area just near the bus station. I took a flask with vegan gravy for pouring (shame The Friary gravy is only vegetarian). The food was delicious a good sized portion excellent chips and peas. Love the eco friendly packaging too. Highly recommended.

    The fish was not up to its usual standard. A lot of chewy bits

    In a long line of people being redirected to the cash machine as for some inexplicable reason in the 21st century they only take cash in the shop.

  • 3/5 Connor H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food wasn't as good as it could be. Somehow, we couldn't pay cash. Chips were okay but cold. Quite a wait time too. Steak and kidney pudding was good.

  • 1/5 Ben 1 year ago on Google
    Way too many grumpy staff, no idea of customer service, nothing ever ready so a massive wait, extortionate prices even for Whalley and the food is terrible! Trying to be a chippy and a Chinese and succeeding at neither. Poor effort guys.
