Went and picked up a chippy on the way home from work today for a quick dinner and I am so glad I suggested this chip shop to my husband, growing up this was my local chippy, and honestly the food we had tonight was stunning, we ordered a large and a small chips (one large would've been fine for 2 adults, eyes bigger then our bellies!), 2 saveloys, 1 large and 1 small battered sausage, a medium haddock and 2 curry sauce and everything was absolutely amazing. Got given a free saveloy too as it was 'unsellable' but trust me when I say it was still delicious. If I could give 10 stars I would, so 5 will have to do, but absoloutley 100% will be back again. Best chippy around! Me and my husband were very pleased 🙃 Friendly staff, large carpark round the back also! Deffo give this place a go 😁

Rude owner after I received what was ment to be 2 large cod and chips included in a large order to see a 3 fish finger instead,as no large fish. was told if you don't like it go somewhere else. Excuse was fish is expensive ,£9 for large fish and chips , what a joke. Last time I use this chip shop with a rude and obnoxious server.

All started well, ordered food for 8 people. Arrived home to find the two large cod had been replaced by what looked like 3 small fish bits in a small tray .I just presumed it was to replace one large fish, so I Drove back to ask for the other piece off fish.To be told by the older server this was in fact the two large cod replaced by 3 smaller pieces. Then told fish was expensive and if I don't like it go somewhere else.No real people skills No customer service ,just leaving an upset customer and hungry family member .Please Please re-train your staff.If your going to substitute your orders tell the customer. When they drive back over a order issue you need to listen and address your customer in a polite and professional manner ,not rude with out compassion.

Really nice chip shop. Good portion sizes for chips and very friendly staff! I can be fussy with chip shops if quality and quantity is low, but I'm very pleased with this place! Would recommend. Solid local chip shop.

Large Cod and Large chips. Stingy amount of chips which needed cooking for another few minutes, ended up stuck together mass. Nice bit of fish but in all dearer than a sit meal in town centre.

What a shower of skinflints. Never had a portion of chips this size anywhere. Even the large Cod was tiny. Take a trip to Caister and there,. Large Cod and large Chips, you get the real deal. TWICE AS MUCH. Wil not use this establishment again. Rip off.

Its about time this place learnt to cook chips properly,. They need to be cooked more. The minute they are wrapped, they all stick together. Horrible. when you open them they look like they have been steamed and that's without having vinegar on them. they have been in the game long enough to know how to cook chips. The rest of the food is cooked to perfection. Had some the other day and threw them in the bin. Take a tip, cook your chips

We had a delicious meal at The Company Shed, which I think I last visited around a decade ago. We ordered scallops, prawns, crab cakes and sauteed potatoes. All very tasty, well-seasoned and a lovely, different place to dine. The food does come out when it's ready, but this didn't bother us and we enjoyed what we had. The food, a glass of local white wine and a beer, came to £60. I think this is quite reasonable for a good meal. I had booked my table via the online form back in September, a month before we came, and sent a follow up email during the week to confirm. Nonetheless, when we arrived, I was told they couldn't find my booking and we felt like an inconvenience. They seated us anyway but from when we arrived until when we left, there were only three tables with guests, including us, even though they turned customers away. All in all, a really lovely meal but maybe The Company Shed ought to improve their booking system, as I sensed a lack of communication amongst the team. Thanks for some delicious seafood, we will be back.

Very disappointed with the quality of the fish & the chips & also the tartare sauce. Have been using the shop for about 9 years but the last year or so it's far below par. The were over cooked & the fat tasted like it needed replacing. The fish was a lot smaller than it used to be & again wasn't very tasty. Always used to look forward to it as the shop could accommodate my gluten free & was delicious. For now will not be using your shop until we've been told things have improved.

This chip shop is a gem, burgers, fish and chips all very good but the southern fried chicken is just awesome, nice big tasty pieces. Worth buying a large portion and save a piece for the next day. Batter and skin all crisped up so no wobbly skin like other well known places, top quality chicken too.
