Really friendly staff. Generous portion. Was going to have fish but then tempted by the homemade steak pie so went for that. Delicious

Genuinely the worst takeaway experience I’ve ever had. Their opening times were listed as 9pm. Assuming even if that was wrong I’d be okay getting in there at 7:40pm. I heard one of the ladies in there say to somebody after he’d queued up that they weren’t cooking anything else now except chips and the leftover bits of food on display. There was a black pudding fritter, fish cake and piece of chicken left. As we were both very hungry I reluctantly ordered 2 chip butties along with the black pudding and chicken. Thinking that even if the black pudding and chicken were terrible that the chips would at least be nice as they were cooking them fresh. I was wrong. The black pudding and chicken were bad, I assumed that was because they’d been sat for a while which I didn’t really mind. But how can somebody dry out chips so much? It felt like these had been cooked days before and reheated by throwing them back in the fryer! Honestly they were so dry and difficult to eat that we just threw them in the bin. Also to follow that, the bread bun was absolutely tiny! I’ve eaten bad takeaway before, but honestly this was the worst takeaway experience I’ve ever had. The staff seemed like they just couldn’t be bothered serving anybody and were bickering with each other behind the counter. The food was terrible and I am just glad that I now know that I can avoid ever returning. I’ve never done a negative google review before because I’ve never felt this strongly about food before. Honestly. The worst. Ryan

Granted it was a Cod not a jelly fish, but it was full of bones. Never ever had haddock or cod from a fish shop with this many bones in it, yes the odd one sometimes gets left in the fillet, but this was stupid. Was like eating Kippers!! Take care if young children eat from here. Chips and curry was very good. Go with Haddock, it's a much better fish. Trust me Cod is Southern nonsense!!! Staff very friendly.
