    AVOID! After not even eating half of our cod and chips takeaway (because it was soggy and terrible) we came down with food poisoning in the night. We ate nothing else but this in the evening so couldn’t have been anything else. Called the shop next day and was of no help or consideration. The least that could have been offered was a refund but instead I paid over £20 for the privildge and 3 days before Christmas! Not impressed and looking at other reviews this isn’t the first time it’s happened.

    Disappointed, the supposed mushy peas were an anaemic glutinous mess. They looked they'd been pre packed weeks ago and stored in the fridge, horrible. The fish and chips were standard. I had pre ordered by phone, but still had to wait half hour. Chips were expensive, I remember years ago when potatoes went up in price and chips had their price increase, but then the cost went down again, did the chip shops put their prices down accordingly, not a chance. Why oh why don't chip shops use proper malt vinegar instead of that horrible acetic acid. Needless to say my next fish and chips will be brought from elsewhere to compare.

    Shocking. £4 for large chips gave us about 10 chips each as a family of four. I phoned to complain and ask if I had been given a small portion by mistake. Was basically told to go elsewhere in the future. Use Atlantic Bay up Westmill. We will be from now on

    Really disappointed this evening unfortunately. The 'large' chips we ordered were really small and overpriced at £4.00 and they were a soggy clump which ripped when separated. Fish were fine but the batter stuck to the paper and was impossible to remove it so lost half of it. Bad value considering all of this. We won't be coming back.

    Very disappointing experience. We ordered 3 large cod and only 2 were delivered. There was no refund offered or no opportunity for another piece of cod to be delivered. We were told you have to come to the shop to get a refund which isn’t going to happen. No apology and it seems putting two cod in instead of three has worked well for them, so be aware. The mushy peas were cold and large chips weren’t very large, especially for £4.40 per large portion.

    I eat fish and chips very rarely. This plaice (sorry could not resist) cooked my cod while I waited. Good portion size and a fair price. Recommended!
