Returned to Gareth’s after 7 years and I now know why….. STILL the worst chips I have ever tasted full of little bits no taste.Your fish was beautiful & the onion rings very good but please change your supplier of potatoes or change the oil more regular.The only reason I used your shop was I thought maybe things had improved. Sorry I will have to travel further afield if I want decent chips. I give 1star for your chips which hurts the overall experience.

Not good at all. Ordered two portions of fish and a chip and was told it was cod? and to pay when it was ready. I sat at the window seat facing the fryers and waited. Then i observed a member of staff empty the fryer onto the top heating compartment under the lamps. I saw sausages, chicken goujons, onion rings and who knows what else with of couse my two portions of Cod? When i went to pay i was told that it was cash only!!! So off i went to get some cash and i truly wish i had never gone back. Sorry but far from good in this day and age. Strong taste of onions on the fish. Never again

Recommended by a new friend and are we glad they did. Fussy eater among party, thus far NO chippy has pleased her, well that changed here. The order, on receipt, was cooked to perfection ( especially in the view of "fussy"). Will we be returning 100% and won't hesitate to recommend.

Ordered 12" jumbo sauage with chips and gray with fried mushrooms. The 12" jumbo sausage was 3 cheap little pork sausages..... False advertising with a play on words. The fried mushrooms were off. My partner vomited when she attempted to eat them. I smelt the fried mushrooms to check and the smell was rancid and purifying. Never again. Had to get a refund on just eat. Sad sad sad....

Waited 2 hours on our delivery after ordering through justeat. Rang them back again and the young girl that answered said the delivery driver had just left with it. So I asked her was he actually leaving with it or just saying he was and was assured he had just got into the car. Sitting here an hour later (3 hours from ordering), no delivery driver in sight. Ended up ordering from somewhere else. Why not just be honest and say you forgot the order instead of lying to customers about food that was never going to arrive?

Sub standard chip shop compared to other locally. There is alway something wrong with the food, and it's not great. On the plus side they can be cheap.enough with their deals and food is usually cooked quickly.

I was in Gareth's on Friday night. The young fella working was serving cooked food and handling raw fish. He never washed his hands once. He also held a food tray in his mouth before actually using it for the order he was preparing. None of the staff wore gloves between different jobs e.g. packing orders and cash handling. Won't be back in a hurry that's for sure.

every time I get from this chip shop (usually a Friday) the chips are burnt and batter soggy! I understand that it's busy when we go but I don't think it's acceptable to send food like that out the door with customers

Disgusting..... Last time I was here I made a large order for my family as I wanted to treat them to a takeaway. After I ordered I could see into their back storage room. There was a tiered cart on wheels with chips in each tray. To my absolute shock and dismay I could see someone with a mop and bucket right beside this. When I watched the person PLUNGE HARD into the bucket, they splashed the chemicals from the bucket all over the chips. Obviously this is disturbing to anyone about to eat the chips out of here. I don't want myself to get sick. Told the girl at the counter and she seemed very disinterested. I therefore felt I would just cancel the order and leave as I don't want to be at risk or my family.

This was a brilliant find! Stayed in the Ibis hotel and wanted to eat without going too far. Absolutely beautiful decor. Warm and welcoming and comfortable. On Sunday early evening great guy playing and singing. The staff make this place without a doubt. Danielle, Amy, Neeru and Harvey. A fabulous team and we’re so friendly. To be greeted with smiles can be somewhat rare in hospitality these days!! Danielle chatted to us and was so helpful. A big asset to this restaurant!!!!

We just had the worst meal, The service was shocking the server didn't know the difference between chicken satay and Kung po chicken, and served us the wrong plates, the meals were so strong they were uneatable. We had poppadoms and dips as a starter the dips were horrible. It was so disappointing we used to eat here 4/5 times a year, I don't think we will be back.
