πŸ‘πŸ‘ Can understand why this was voted best chippy in 2021. Reasonably priced, quality food. Really enjoyed their smoked haddock supper and the sausage supper lunch special with curry sauce. Wish you had a shop in Australia πŸ™‚

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Best fry up in Ballymena. Ordered the large fry (Β£7.50), couldn't finish it. The 'belly buster' must be next level. Great that it's open on Sunday's now, plus you can get a fry all day unlike most places in Ballymena. Very reasonably priced.

😠 Always closes early and random timings for shutting early all the time. I know many people unhappy and complain about same issue.
