"I have found my favourite chippy!! Now.... I can't give an opinion on the fish because I don't eat it. BUT! The chips are the best I've ever tasted!! It's hard to explain but, they taste just like chips used to taste when I was a little kid and you would get them wrapped up in yesterday's newspaper lol, staff also incredibly polite, friendly and welcoming"
