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.

The fish and chips are always excellent and consistent in quality. The fish and chip fryer will never rush the cooking process until they are cooked to his satisfaction, regardless of people anxiously waiting for their food. Sometimes the curry sauce differs slightly in taste but it's not quite the end of the world! They even give us extra scraps to feed our fox! ( ps just made myself hungry writing this review).

Ordered online, ready on time, they were delicious, we always get lightly battered fish. They are thick pieces of haddock with plenty of chips, (even on the small fish and chips) not at all greasy. Very nice staff. We don't go anywhere else.

Usually great service by all staff...but recent visit, I was waiting 20 mins before being served (not an issue as it was busy) but then a further 20 mins until I got my food. I ordered nothing different to what I usually order, 3 fish, 2 chips, battered sausage, haloumi sticks, drinks and curry sauce. I could see there were conversations between staff about my order...clearly an issue. I ended up being the last person in the shop, and eventually when called my number, there was only a "thanks for waiting"...no sorry to keep you waiting so long. Food is always delicious

Had my appetite ruined by the portly bespectacled woman with the bad attitude. God forbid I want my fish freshly fried. I was waiting for at least 15 minutes whilst more fish was frying and I was the offered the one lonely fish that had been sat for at least the length of time I was in there.

Our whole office order from here every Friday and 9/10 times the food is nice however today was different. I thought my fish tasted funny and before long others were commenting on the poor tasting fish. It was either slightly off or else it wasn’t haddock, possibly pollock. At least 10 members of staff left their fish with some demanding we go elsewhere in future. Apologies for writing this but it was poor and I didn’t have time to bring it back and discuss.

They claim to fry in beef dripping,but if so, It must be the most tasteless beef dripping available. Tried some chips and scraps the other lunchtime and I would swear that they had been cooked in oil,they were very poor and tasted of nowt. Which is it? Hiilycroft claim on their website that they use only the best beef dripping.

Hi, You used our click and collect system to place your oder and ordered for 2pm (14:00). When your order was not collected we gave you a call (this was around 2:15pm (14:15) and we advised your order was ready and you had not collected it. You said that you had ordered for 4pm and we kindly advised you that you hadn't and perhaps you had got mixed up with the 24 hour clock. You then hung up the phone. We would be more than happy to resolve this matter with you if you wish to get in touch with us and we are even happy to assist you in understanding the 24 hour clock.

If you like quality well cooked fish and chips Hillycroft is for you, we have never been disappointed at the price, portion size of our fish and chips. Staff are very polite and welcoming. I recommend this fish shop to family and friends.

I came in today and got fish and chips with mushy peas and Must say I was disappointed. The fish was small and thinly cut, the chips were pale and very dry and the mushy peas were bland and it was quite expensive for what I got. Overall I didn’t enjoy it nor did I eat it all. Oh well I have tried it but must say iv had much better fish and chips elsewhere and cheaper.!!

Twice in the last 6 weeks I’ve been in and just ignored yesterday I went in at the same time as a gent putting in a big order just me and him in the shop . There were at least 4 ladies and the guy frying who kept looking up so he knew I was there . I stood back as a couple more people came in covid regs and what not . I got missed out again but thought honest mistake won’t say anything only for a lady to walk in and one of the lady’s shouts hi love what can I get you . At this point I said can I put my order in please two ladies looked sheepish at me the others ignored me including the fryer so I just put my drink back in the fridge and left . Won’t be back despite being a regular .

Really love the food here and never go anywhere else. Fish always cooked to perfection and chips just the way I like them. Always have their curry sauce which is very tasty. Really recommended the spam fritters and battered sausages too.

Called into Hillycroft for a spot of lunch, the staff were very welcoming and chatty, there were quite a few customers in but it wasn't long before I was being served, I ordered the light meal for 1 which has fewer chips but is plenty for me also ordered a curry sauce. I ate them in the shop, the batter was lovely and crisp and the fish was nice and white , the chips were a little pale but were really nice. Would recommend this fish shop to everyone.

Due to click and collect would not go as a walk in order as they seem to prioritise this system and your order just goes into the backlog of phoned in orders. Was the last person to be served of approximately 9 other people all click and collect even though half the people came in after me. Surely they could have one of the service staff to serve walk ins.

Super tasty fish and chips! The gravy and curry sauces makes it even more yummy. It's always busy here which is a good sign. It's also very convenient to order via the app. The lunchtime deals are also great value too. It's definitely one of my fave fish and chip shops. 😍

Our 2nd visit here after our 1st was 5 star. My husband had a beautiful white thick flaked fish. Mine seemed to be two thin pieces of fish pressed together battered and fried. Disappointed.
