Ordered here a few times recently. Big family order each time. Ordered a wide variety from the menu, including fish (cod), curry sauce, onion rings, burgers, nuggets, sausages, hot dogs, chips and a few other bits for good measure. Everything has always been piping hot and very well cooked, great quality fresh food. Personally some of the nicest cooked and battered fish I've had in a long time, not all greasy and wet, lovely crispy delicious fish! The rest of the food also perfect and the curry sauce is also really tasty, kids loved their food too! Adding to the great food, the prices are very reasonable and you certainly won't be disappointed giving this place a go. For friendly service and excellent value for money I think its a no brainer, also definitely some very good cod and chips!

Very pleasant friendly staff. Food cooked to order. Very reasonably priced. Small portion of chips was more than enough for me, and at 1.60, much cheaper than our local chippie whose regular bag of chips is 2.00. Lots to choose from on the menu board. Tasty too.
