Patrons rave about the exceptional quality of the dishes, highlighting the freshness of the fish and the delightful chips cooked in beef dripping. The aromas wafting from the fryer are enough to tempt any passerby.

Mark Penrose's reflection captures the essence of this establishment, praising not just the outstanding food but also the warm hospitality of the owner. Fellow diners echo similar sentiments, noting that the fish is fried to perfection and served piping hot, while the chips are notably not greasy, a testament to the careful preparation.

A hidden and unassuming gem. Owner very friendly and amenable. Food was outstanding! Best fish and chips we’ve had in quite a while. Cash only.

Loved these fish and chips. They were super tasty and not at all greasy. The only downside is that you have to pay by cash but you can get cash back at the Wheatsheaf. You can also eat your chips at the pub too!

Great place to get food. the only downside is cash only. When we called, we only had around 3.00 cash, we left with large chips and a pea fritter, and the owner said when you come back, pay for the fritter. Great customer service Ps we did go back for another takeaway and paid for the fritter

We stopped in here a while ago. What a great Fish &Chips shop. Fish freshly fried up quickly in front of you. Chips were great. Huge portion, great for a second fry up of left overs. Charming owner. The Wheatsheaf pub near by doesn't serve food, so one can take your Fish & Chips there to enjoy with a bevvie. Highly recommend.

Someone needs to explain to all of the 'these chips are re-fried' reviews that these are actually propper chips, not some cash and carry frozen crap! Truly excellent best fish and chips ever and i live near the coast.

Absolutely the best fish and chips I’ve ever tried! The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and fresh, while the chips were golden and crispy. To top it off, the customer service was fantastic – friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!
