I have to say, I don’t usually write reviews on here, this is a very good fish n chip shop. I enjoyed my battered haddock and also my battered sausage. The batter is light n crispy and not greasy. The fish and sausage were of good quality. I’d highly recommend this fish n chip shop". Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
