Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Takeaway, very nice. Love their cod bites, chips are decent and staff are really nice. Never have to wait too long either which is a bonus

Smothered my chips with vinegar without asking, then said they asked but I was on the phone. So rude and refused to swap the chips….I hate vinegar! Will not be going back fish cake was also hard and overcooked.

Do not bother to order by telephone in advance! If you do you will sit behind anybody who has walked in off the street. You are given an order number that is meaningless. Your money is taken immediately and the staff are rude and arrogant...if questioned about their policy. Giving orders taken AFTER yours precedence An absolute joke and rude to boot! Shocking customer serviceMore

A bit expensive but that being said you can't knock the portions and quality! They do some great non-fish dishes and I can highly recommend the ribs, hot wings and the burger. Staff always friendly and service is good considering the demand!

So decided to get a takeaway from here as wanted something quick. Have eaten from here before and been ok never great. But last night we got a takeaway I had a burger which was fine but smothered in burger sauce which ruined it as...I didn’t ask for that. My OH got chicken and ribs and ate it fine but a short while after was literally running back and fourth to the toilet as he couldn’t stop being sick and also had a stomach ache! He didn’t eat anything else that day which could of made him ill so must have been this - I won’t usually write a review but I’m this case I felt I had to it was just awful! & we will never get food from here again!More

Firstly they got my order wrong and then when I went back to get it corrected, they had an attitude about telling me I was wrong. I then found THREE bodily hairs in my chips, I refused to eat them, wasted £5 and a trip!...Invest in some sleeves/gloves. Won’t be visiting again.More

Food is good but parking is a problem and causes a snarl up in the High Street for locals. Favourite dish is scampi and chips.
