"Good fish and chips!!! Great staff and good prices."
Suzy Paris
"Went in to get chips and cheese. Lady put chips on the tray then went round to put the cheese on dipped her bare hands which have been touching everything including dirty money and the till in the tub and used her fingers to sprinkle it on. How is this acceptable? It's bogging. Can you not use even a spoon or fork or other utensil its disgusting. When I said I had changed my mind and she'd used her fingers they looked surprised. Your food hygiene is absolutely ridiculous. I'll never ever be back. They need to get their act together 😒"

"Ordered a pizza which took forever so I expected it to be well done rather than half cooked. For the price of the food and length of time waited, I would expect a decent pizza. Regular customer here but after today, I might just buy an Asda pizza"
