    Amazing. Just amazing

    Called here as they offer Gluten Free Fish and Chips. We did have to wait 5 minutes but the wait was worth it. Everything was so tasty and not dripping in fat as with some chip shops. Would definitely recommend.

    Parked up and went here for lunch. Very good fish and chips, can't fault it at all. The fish was crispy and fresh, not at all greasy. The service was friendly and helpful. Good place. Recommend it.

    Great Fish and Chips

    Had a lovely fish and chips takeaway at lunchtime. Loads of fish in a good batter. Not the cheapest, but worth the money.
