Fish cooked to order with 3 sizes all cod. The standard size is 5. It's got to be 40 to 50% bigger than other chip shops and excellent quality. All items are excellent value for money and excellent quality.

Best chippy ever. Quality quantity is all there...I've contacted a very good food reviewer in stocky bloke greg. He will be visiting the shop soon to taste the white gold. The rich thick gravy and the spicey curry are also a winner. Mushy peas are not illuminus and taste great.. it's definitely a must visit...1000%

Unarguably the best traditional 'proper' fish and chip shop in the North West. All products cooked fresh to order, friendly customer service, very clean and prices more than fair and reasonable. Mick and his staff work hard to maintain this fantastic diamond of a place to a high standard and easily succeed. Refuse to go anywhere else for my fish and chips

Called in here for the first time today, really good fish, proper comfy food - and fresh to order. People need to support local, independent businesses more - this is 2 mins from McDonald's etc - and it is no comparison.
