Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Locals rave about the fresh, meaty cod and its golden, crispy batter—a perfect blend of texture and taste. Diners appreciate the generous portion sizes, ensuring good value for money. The double-cooked chips receive high praise for their delightful crunch and fluffiness.

The friendly service and casual vibe often create a welcoming experience, making it feel like a local gathering spot. Lastly, the late-night food options make this place a hit among those craving delicious fried treats after hours.
Most Disliked
Some diners have mentioned the occasional inconsistency in food temperature during busy hours. While many rave about piping hot meals, a few have received lukewarm orders during peak times.
The popular Friday evening rush can lead to long wait times, which may discourage those with tight schedules. This is especially true for takeaway orders. Furthermore, while the restaurant accommodates both adults and kids, some guests have expressed a desire for more variety in the kids' menu offerings.
Lastly, parking during busy periods can be challenging, and nearby spots fill up quickly. Planning your visit for less hectic times can help avoid this inconvenience.

The food is really good! Portion size is decent too. Surprisingly the cod was skin on which is great for me. Bought out more flavour from th fresh fish. It was a meaty white fish!! Double cooked Chips, nice and crispy, good portion. Bit too much for me. Nice Friday tea time treat. Will return.

I have only ever ordered a takeaway, but they have all been delicious & piping hot, almost still sizzling sometimes. I don't know what they cook their food in (I think it may be beef dripping) but the fish & chips taste outstanding. I love pickled gherkins, so I ordered 2 last night. They were huge, sweet tasting & tasted of lovely herbs. I may well need to drive up & pay them to order me a jar !!

It’s my first time having fish and chips from here. It’s actually one of the most decent fish and chips I’ve had in this area. The service was good as staff were friendly. The fish and its batter was good. The serving is good especially the chips. Pricing wise it was also reasonable. Really enjoyed the food! Will come and buy again.

So I called into the shop to place my order based on glowing reviews on Google.I live in Chesington and search for the best fish and chip shop in the area based on reviews this one came up top of the list. I do have some trepidation when the reviews are so glowing but decided to give it a try I was not disappointed a very warm welcome from served on time within a minute at a very busy time for them which is a great sign the fish with crispy and very grease free the chips were also crispy fluffy in the middle. I don’t think there is any room for improvement they have mastered their trade. Five stars from me well deserved I will be coming back

Back from a day in London, we were looking for fish and chips. We found you guys and what a meal. Back in Holland (fishtown Katwijk) they don't serve the fish like you did. Yours was full of flavour and fresh. Really loved it. The homemade sauce was really tastefull no aftertaste or what so ever. The Dutch could learn from you 😉 thanks for this sensation.
