Best fish and chips around, specially if you are hungry. The mini fish and chips is more than enough. Would rather have bread and butter than a bread roll

Oh my what can I say...for the past 12yrs we have driven past this place and it has ALWAYS been busy...and every time my mum said we must try it...it must be good it's always full and the takeaway always had a cue...but we never did..my mum died in 2019 and the year after the place had been burnt down...anyway this year 2023 my grandson who's 10 said for our last meal before we go home can we try it for grandma so we did, Oh my god how bloody good was this, the fish on all 3 plates was cooked to perfection and was very very tasty,the chips a little pale but very good, and to finish it off we had PROPER mushy peas, service fantastic and price was spot on highly highly reccomend..I'm just so sorry we did not visit a lot sooner.. but we will definatley visit here in future every time Thanks everyone who works here
