this is one of the best fish and chips shops i have been to in a very long time. fish and chips isn’t my go to meal as i have grown up but this shop brought back the tastiness and love for the meal that i experienced as a kid.
the food and batter was cooked perfectly, and the amount of oil was not excessive, making the food light and very tasty. the potato cakes were amazing i even went back in for a second serving.
the service was amazing and the staff were very polite. there was lots of area to sit, even outside which was great as the sun went down.
i will be coming back to this fish and chips shop because i truly had a great experience. YOU SHOULD TO!
This fish and chip shop was our family go-to for 10 years. The food was fantastic, the portions perfect, and the prices were very reasonable. I think it was a really lovely local business that everyone was very happy and fortunate to support. After a couple of changes of ownership it has sadly had so many astronomical price hikes it is now too expensive to justify buying. Also with the price increase has sadly come a big reduction in portions sizes so you now get so much less, for so much more money. I understand that prices just shift and increase with inflation, but sadly this has gone too far and we don’t shop here.
A local fish and chip shop, tucked away in a side street. Dropped by because the kids craved fish and chips.
Without diving into too many specifics, this is your typical suburban fish and chip shop.
Service from the owners were exemplary. Attentive and pleasant. Friendly and not obtrusive. It was quite efficient service overall compared to other places.
The chips were nice – didn’t have that radioactive yellow tinge to it. The flake was great – encased in a nice and perfect crush with the right level of crunchiness. Fried dim sin is fried dim sum – hard to get wrong. And potato cake was a little bit undercooked. Overall, the food was on par, if not slightly better, than other fish and chip shops.
The decor is unpretentious and worn, suggesting that it has been around forever. Could do with some music because it can be quite quiet sometime. But let’s be honest, it’s as basic as it gets.
Will I be back. Yep. I sure will if I need fish and chip.
Ordered some calamari+chips and a chicken burger with the lot tonight. The food was delicious and made extremely fast. It seems to be that they have a passion for food at this shop, and very affordable. Portion sizes are nice and big!
Great food, thick fish tasty chips and big potatoe cakes. Calamari was nice too! Would go again!
Used to be great untill ownership changed. Rang through an order and when we went to pick it up they argued that there was no order. Starting making it then and got the order wrong!!
This is the best fish and chip shop I have ever been to. We get family meals regularly from here and they are always ready on time and beautifully cooked.
Our family goes to eat there once a week. The food is great, the portion is enough, and the service attitude is also very good.
