Got a sausage dinner . Was charged 7 quid ! All the chips were various shades of brown, with some also being slightly hard. Would have loved to see how much items were , but considering they have a large price list, they don't even have simples things on it like chips / sausage. Very strange for a chippy to not even have their prices up

Genuinely one of the most disgusting, tasteless fish and chips I’ve ever had. Like eating salty cardboard. Also £9 for fish, chips and peas 💀

Very disappointed in the size of the fish ....it was 5.00 pounds such a ridiculous price for the size of the fish also not one member of staff asked if everything was ok ..... overpriced and still hungry ....will not be returning..... 21.15 pence for smallest fish ever had from a chippy along with chips and peas....one burger and chips then one chips peas and gravy ......

I ordered a fish and 2specials and was charged £5.80. When I got it home and unwrapped it I was sure she’d put 3 specials in and forgotten the fish as they were all the same size. I was sadly mistaken. The fish was there. It was the smallest fish I’d ever been insulted with.. and to charge £4.80 for it is a crime.. won’t be returning anytime soon .. Do yourselves a favour and go elsewhere.

Woman serving had an attitude and she undermind other staff. There was an awkward atmosphere due to this. Fish was small and soggy and left an awful taste on the roof of my mouth and the chips were the worst I have had, a mixture of soggy and chewy! Awful, never going again!

Just a quick question, is your batter crispy, is beef dripping used and do you use your batter if over 3 hours old? The batter looks a bit thin in the photos. I'm new to St. Helens and haven't found a decent takeaway yet.

We have always liked this chipy, but this time we had an issue with food missing off order which was only discovered when got home, when i went back and enquired about the missing chips and 2 pots of gravy the woman who served us got immediately defensive saying we had everything when i tried to explain we hadn't she got really aggressive and shouting well there not on the counter so where are they. At this point i just decided it wasn't worth the hassle and said just forget it and said won't come back here again, but the attitude of the staff is disgraceful. I wanted to reply to your comment that i did speak to you woman who did serve us, maybe if you could check your cctv to confirm if we did get our whole order has i know we did not, we came in between 4:30pm and 5:00pm and the 3 of us were should to left side of the shop.

This is a humble little chip shop and has a very happy vibe. The happy banter of the staff is barely audible as the food is lovingly prepared. Fresh fish that is so delicate that it is a joy. The menu is lovely and traditional and there are customers of all generations come in to taste this foods of yester year and present. The real action if you have the time is to sit down in the cosy seated area at the back and dine there. The service has a truly authentic northern feel and it is the heart warming effort that is put into the welcome and humour that you will take away with you long after you have tasted the northern fare that this place offers. This is a chipmunk that will give you Deep fried health food Purley like dim sung it is there to touch the heart and warm any northern soul.

I've visited this chip shop twice. On the first occasion the vile woman serving me didn't listen to my order then proceeded to put gravy on my chip barm instead of in a tub - she then stood and argued with me and called me a liar before begrudging giving me what i'd asked for. On the second occasions in front of a packed shop the same woman behind the counter at the top of her voice pointed me out to her colleague to "Watch out for me, as i say one thing, then demand another". Furious was an understatement! No issues with the food!....But retraining/sacking of staff is a must.

Just been to this chippy absolutely packed out. To my surprise when arriving home after spending £16 on my families tea. Three of the 4 orders were wrong or short, I was also short changed maybe my mistake for not checking. After speaking to the owner Lee, he as apologised and I've accepted that mistakes do happen and he as reassured me that this kind of incidents will not happen again. The chippy as never done this to me before and is my favourite local chippy see you all soon again....

2 splits and fish, with some scraps, and a tub of curry - hardly a complicated order. Get home, no scraps, no curry. And they charged 10p for a flaming bag I never asked for. Perhaps if the women spent less time nattering they'd get orders right. I'll not be going back.

Been here a handful of times and each time have ended up with a dodgy tum but always gave them the benefit of the doubt as they are on our doorstep. The last visit however, was the last straw. Spent most of the night glued to the toilet and had to miss the next day off work. So ended up being a very expensive experience plus made me ill on top of it.

Excellent little cafe. Lovely soup with a fresh buttered barm. Yummy. Egg mayonnaise sandwich - fantastic. Only minor negative were the chips. Cooked to perfection, but alas, the oil was burnt, giving them a greasy taste. Will definitely recommend.
