Worst fish and chips I’ve ever tasted. Peas were not mushy at all - just hard, batter on fish was tough and rubbery, and Chios were undercooked.

Found their prices a wee bit more expensive than other fish & chip shops. I asked for a fish supper expecting cod but it definitely wasn't cod. Needed to add plenty of extra salt and vinegar at home to give it some flavour.

Rarely go. Price is so high last time went and no 'large' chips on offer literally a handful at full price. Also, the fish is whitening or nothing..well it was anyway. Not a fan, rarely go, but in past the chips - the few there was - were ok, better than average tbh.

Food was good, staff hygiene is questionable. When ordering a cheesy chip from this chip shop, the staff opened a box of cheese, picked some up and licked it off their fingers before using the same hand to scoop some on to my order. Have ordered here many times before but will not be back.

Just ok but could be allot better. The chips are pricey at £3.10. The fish is expensive & not good. I found the batter hard & greasy. I was told that the fish is cooked up the day before then put back in the fridge to go cold & then reheated to order. Doing it this way is not good and causes the fish batter to become rock hard and leaves you with greasy taste. Any time I call in there is two ladies so I personally think Colin should train some of his staff to be able to do up freshly battered fish to order. This would make the fish taste allot better

Speedy service is the high light. I was in and out in no time. Met by a very abrupt lady with not much personality behind counter. I asked for a cod? We only do whiting she said. I said uuugh! I took a jumbo battered sausage and a pastie. Was not bad. Not overly greasy but not great. Pastie smallish. Sausage typical processed type,mass produced for these places. I would go back if in the mood,but would not rush back.

I have to agree with other posts on here, the chips are like egyptian relics but what can you do? I recently started using Colins again after one too many bad experiences with a certain chippy in Conlig. A first for me when they pulled a KFC and said they had no fish !!! Stick with Colins, at least they sell fish !!!

I was in on Saturday 17th no. It wasn't over busy I ordered a sausage supper for my son which I think I was charged £5:30. I live close so walked home and give my son his fish supper which was served in a burger box ( fair enough) when I saw the size of the portion I was surprised it was tiny..also the chips were all tail ends of the chips and the quality was terrible. I was very disappointed on this visit.if that's the quality they serve I won't be back.

I had the misfortune to visit this chippie for the first time tonight. I should have known something was up by the less than enthusiastic welcome from the staff on duty. No smiles, no please or thank you and very disinterested in taking my order. I pressed on anyway and ordered a sausage supper and a small chip. The staff took the order without comment and without stating the price (the overhead menu display did not show the prices). I waited for several minutes, after which time the staff decided to give me the price and asked if I wanted salt or vinegar. Thinking that my order was almost ready I asked for just salt on the sausage supper. However, they took my money and I had to wait a bit longer. Once again, no please, thank you or much of anything. After several more minutes they asked if "it was just the sausage supper only." I said yes, relieved that they'd remembered that. Nope. One of the staff went straight for the vinegar and lavashed it on. My reminder of salt only came just too late. When the staff made their mistake there was no "sorry" and certainly no offer to replace my order. Just a sour look and passive aggressive paper wrapping. I was also given a large chip instead of the small chip I ordered. I won't be returning. The food itself was poor. The sausages were sub-par and the chips bland in the extreme. All in all, I would recommend the management consider a name change to Colins Crap Food to give consumers a better idea of what they're in for.

Havn't used this chipshop for a while as bit out of my way but used to be nice, certainly won't rush back, ordered a fish supper and a pastie supper and curry and gravy, £14.40, bit expensive for a back street chippy, when i questioned the price the girl behind the counter snapped £6.80 for a fish supper, ok only asking!!! food wasn't brilliant and portions small for what your payin however half it went in the bin so portion size didn't really matter, 2 cups of tea washed the grease out of my mouth. disappointed and not be back

Last night there was a major power cut in Bangor, down the road from Groomsport, and my brothers and I couldn't dine at the restaurant we had booked. There were a couple of places outside the shut-down area but it was a Friday night and they couldn't fit us in. The Stables, being a high-class establishment was also full up but, unlike the other restaurants, they didn't turn us away. In fact, the chap on the desk was incredibly helpful, saying he would find a place for us and then, five minutes later, he found us an even better table with a view of the sea. We were very impressed with his professionalism and positive attitude. The waiters were also very friendly and helpful and arrived at our table very quickly to get our drinks order. The food was delicious and one of our waitresses went out of her way to find an alcoholic beverage that not everybody is familiar with. After the frustration of trying to find a restaurant where we could celebrate my birthday earlier in the week we hit the jackpot with The Stables. I had eaten there a couple of years ago with a friend from London and liked it but it has improved immensely since that visit. I can't praise the restaurant enough for their friendliness, professionalism and willingness to go that extra mile to make sure we had a good time. And the food, as I said earlier, was top quality. I will definitely go there again and not just for a special occasion. The restaurant totally deserves the five stars I have given it.

Been coming here for years before and after covid. Good quality food but over time the quantity has got worse, I ordered a standard fry and served on a nice big plate but won’t be back as other cafes offer much more food for you money.
