Been going here for some 18 months and until recently would have given five stars. But my last two visits have been disappointing. — fantastic fish but very poor chips. They had either been overcooked, or heated up from a previous cooking. Because the shop is just around the corner I’ll give them one more go, but that’s all.
The man who served me looked so unhappy and as thou he didn’t want to be there.
I went there last year and both the fish and chips were really good. Not sure if it’s changed hands. I ordered the same thing today, it was $2.20 dearer and the chips were much less and not nice, the fish was ok. I know, inflation, but to pay that much more and to get less and poorer quality, won’t be going back there.
I haven’t been here before and thought I’d give it a try, I gotta say I was glad I did. First of all the young man who served me was polite and very friendly and I’ll tell you what he knows his way around that grill. Probably the best burger with the lot I’ve had in a long time, juicy, fresh and he even asked if I would like my egg cooked all the way through or a little runny, I got a little runny and it was on point. The flake was amazing and the dim sims, potato cakes and chips were all crispy on the outside and delicious on the inside. 5 well earned stars and I will 100% be back here from now on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was so disappointed. It was me and my mothers first time there and that will be our last. We walked in and they seemed like nice people and they were. We ordered a lunch pack and a sausage and 3 drinks and it all came out to around 36 ish dollars. We got our food and the portion looked very small but we though nothing of it and went to eat with my family. We opened it up and was shocked. The lunch pack was supposed to come with two fish but we got one. And there was about 20 chips in there. We were disappointed to say the least. I wouldn’t recommend!
What joke this place is now. $10 of just chips lucky to feed 2 people. The box wasn’t even full to the sides or top.
This is not $7.00 of chips it only covered the bottom of the box
Fish and potato cake was nice, chips were OK, but no salt when specifically asked for. None of the drinks in the fridge were cold either. Very disappointed.
Would not Recommend .
We ordered A souvlakii it was made in Pita bread with lamb off cuts that had been in the fridge for god knows how long.
The burger bun Was burnt and the lettice seriously looked like fried Onion it was that soggy and brown.
The piece of Fish, even my 5 year old complained about and said it tasted yuk.
Chips were tastless and im pretty sure cooked twice. Very disappointing.
