I’ve never eaten such a pizza like this. Definitely recommended.

One of the best around, excellent kebabs and pizza also pies, battered sausage etc, highly recommend large cod you wont find better. Also their chips are proper chips and not made from frozen. Generous portions on everything and they deliver!

Been using this establishment for the past 8 years and have never had a bad experience. There is a couple of fish and chip shops in the area and this one wipes the floor with the rest. The guys in the shop are really polite and over the years of knowing them they’ve never let me down on my order or the quality of food. The prices are reasonable and for what you get you cannot go wrong. Thank you so much for all your hard work guys and long may it continue.

I cannot recommend this place enough, the staff are so polite and always friendly to my children, they make you feel very welcome and if your not happy they have no problem sorting it out ASAP. I have used them for years and always will. Well done lads your the best in every town I have ever been in.

Best fish and chips - specially the fish - that we’ve had in a very long time. Cash only, and the village ATM was not cooperating, but we scraped up enough coins between us for the meal, and very glad we did!!
