Excellent cod and chips in curry sauce, with friendly service and got parked outsides. Look to be a steady trade. No problem recommending this fish and chip shop.

Of the 2 Flash in the Pan franchises that I know, this one in Ballymoney would be my go-to. Always busy, but why not ring through your order and pick it up. The food is not greasy and the helpings are full.

Best chippy in around ballymoney coleraine portrush etc area. Foods always consistent never had a bad meal from it. It’s not the type of place you go to that’s hit or miss foods always the same great taste. And the staff are some team the way they work. Get a ranch burger they are amazing. Not dripping in grease like most chippys chips are always beautiful and edible

Been here twice in last couple weeks and both times orders have been wrong, simple but very frustrating things such as no cheese on cheeseburger, etc. Lives on reputation alone.

Second time we have had the worst chips ever. Cooked 2 or 3 times, hard and inedible. This used to be the best chip shop in Ballymoney but now they are serving rubbish chips. So disappointed. Sorry but we wont be back.

Awful.. chips had a horrible after taste and the fish was dry and flat. Bartered fish should be light fluffy and crispy. I had the opposite. Real shame but won’t be eating here again as we got home and threw it away

Best chipper I've had in a very long time. And I reckon it's gonna be hard to find another that would beat it. Taste like how the chipper of my childhood tasted. I was on the way to another chipper and happened upon this place by accident. Lovey staff. Clean establishment. Menu is not too small and not too big.

Very good value lunch time specials. Currentl cost £3.45 but portions are large & you can choose from battered sausages & chip, pasties & chip & chicken breast & chip. All advertised with beans but you can have gravy, curry sauce, garlic mayo etc instead at no extra cost. Deal on from morning until evening!

This establishment has gone downhill since the last time we went there. Lots of staff but nobody actually organising the chaos. One minute the staff were cooking burgers etc, the next they were on the till, then packing orders, though the young girl was just moving the tickets around while the place was packed. Wouldn’t mind waiting a bit if it was worth waiting for. Overcooked nuggets, chips so hard they were difficult to chew due to their hard edges and about a quarter of them had to be discarded as they were so small and hard they were inedible. Felt like they didn’t care. Lots of food like chicken fillets, sausages and fish sitting in cabinet pre cooked but not being used. The owner needs to sort this out. Won’t be back.

We've been going to "the Flash" for years. It's a popular takeaway chip shop in Ballymoney, offering the usual chip shop menu. You can pay by cash or card. We normally go for a chippy tea on a Friday or Saturday evening. It can get very busy at times, though you can order over the phone for collection or delivery. Staff are mostly friendly, though there are a few dour, unfriendly members. Until recently it had always been pretty good with a consistent standard of food. Over the past few months it has become very expensive (like everywhere) but the main problem we've experienced is our order being incorrect. This can range from missing ingredients (eg no cheese in a cheeseburger) to items missing completely, even though we've paid for them. You can understand an occasional error but this has now become more and more commonplace. Unfortunately we live several miles away so it's not realistic to drive back to the shop when we discover the missing items at home.

Very expensive compared to other chippys. Food is good but they seem to have managed to squeeze their fish portion price up a fair bit more than other chippys.

My first fish and chips here. The fish was so well done I could hardly eat it. One end was so well done it could have broken your teeth. Maybe because I was not a local person they thought they would get rid of this to me. For £10,70 i was very disappointed. I had been at the Royal hospital for an appointment and was realky looking forward to it on the way home.

Through the years the food has usually been consistently good but the past 3 visits in 2021 have been very disappointing. The fish was very greasy, wasn't tasty and lacked much actual fish. The chips were average. Prices seem to be rising at fast pace also which would be easier to take if the quality was as good as it used to be. Hopefully things can get back to previously high standards. A fish supper at the time of the review was £8.10.

I been waiting for an hour until a white gentleman said have you be served . I said no so he served me other people are pushing in the line with. I was in the line. What a ridiculous takeaway shop it's not even a restaurant. It's just terrible. I probably won't go the again ridiculous behaviour.
