I'm sure the food was lovely when it left the shop, however it was clearly driven around for quite some time, sadly resulting in dry chips, the fish was obviously of good quality and not as shrivelled as the chips ,rather disappointed as first time I ordered from Hooked I was very impressed.

We called in after looking after reviews on line. Super friendly ladies working the counter. We had 2 fish suppers, great chips, very tasty. My german friend loved the batter on the fish as well as the large amount of white fish. He also tried the mushy peas, which he polished off. Very well priced ed too. I'd totally come back to this place, it was a great, good-sized meal, tasty and friendly folk. The best fish and chips I've had on Mull.

We have become hooked on Hooked. The food is well presented. Fish great with cispy batter that is not greasy and very edible. Chips properly cooked and easy to eat more than you should. We ate the lot, nothing left over. Effective on-line pre ordering with cooking progress displayed and map tracking of delivery once its cooked. I have no doubt we will be back.

Disappointing and expensive. Especially the chips, they looked and tasted like they'd been sat in the heated pass through for a long time. Not really acceptable given the price and the fact it was pre-ordered, so should have been cooked fresh. Girl behind the counter was lovely, however the guy behind the fryer looked miserable as sin. The search for decent fish and chips in the area goes on.

So… a good chip shop when they opened. The delivery I got was cold, chips all scraps, been sitting there for ages I think. The batter on fish was rock solid like toffee and an orange colour. . The peas had zero taste, no seasoning and were cold. I live about 500 metres from fish shop and it was like eating cold chips I used to get at school. Even worse. The chip shop has went so bad. It was late too. Terrible.. sorry I never leave reviews but this was a terrible experience. Awful.

I live in Canada but travel home to the UK frequently. Each time I am back I am always on a mission to get some decent fish and chips. This place is a gem and has become my go-to spot. Good quality ingredients, perfectly prepared whilst you wait a few minutes. Chips nice and soft on the inside slightly crisp on the outside. Good size potions with flakey fish in nice crispy batter. Staff are always very friendly, especially the girl from Portugal who always finds the time to chat with her customers. Shop uncluttered and clean. Highly recommended.

The portion sizes on the meal deals are obscene great value for money. Curry sauce proper tasty and quality mushy peas, fish was bigger than my size 12 Nikes! The only downside the batter was a little too crispy but definitely didn’t spoil the tea. 100% recommend.

My husband and I have used this chippy since it opened a couple of years ago. Always good service and good food. Conveniently located. We defected from the Fenham Fish Bar on Stamfordham Road to Hooked. However, tonight was a disaster. Long queue of customers waiting to collect and did seem a little disorganised. I placed order a small simple order....several other customers not including delivery drivers, came in after me with bigger orders...I waited 30 minutes for our food. The other 4 customers/groups were given their food before me!!! And even when I questioned it the first time it happened the other larger orders were still given out before mine, very unsatisfactory. This is very poor organisation and prioritising of orders and service....then to cap it all my husband's fish and batter were over cooked, and the chips were very disappointing. The sausage wasn't great either. No idea what has gone wrong here, real shame. We will unfortunately be looking for an alternative chip shop 🤨

The shop is spotless, shiny and new. The staff are very friendly - different to some in the area. My son and I ordered haddock and chips. Haddock was sold out so we had cod and we weren't disappointed. Everything is freshly cooked. Chips are crisp on the outside, soft in. Lovely! Fish is gorgeous, flakey white flesh in a light golden batter. Beautiful. Curry sauce is thick and tasty. This will be our new regular. Back to its best under this management. Went back again last night (4/11/2022) for haddock and chips and curry sauce and as usual it was the best. Absolutely delicious, still recommended 100%.

I understand that it's best to cook to order but the waiting times here are absolutely shocking. I normally use this chip shop every Friday but I will never go back , even after the " owner" phone me but could get to grips with an apology doesn't end with " but your a liar "..

Initially gave this place five stars as the food is lovely and the staff are lovely - unfortunately recently they don’t seem able to keep up with the popularity. The past few times we have been, lots of menu items haven’t been available. Tonight we went to get just cod and chips, after 30 minutes of queuing we were told that there were not even any chips left. It would have been helpful to know that food was limited when we joined the queue so that we could’ve gone elsewhere instead. This wasn’t even close to closing time, and on a weekday - a real shame to be honest given the quality.

HOOKED ON HOOKED FISH AND CHIPS!! As this was my first time here I ordered the small cod and chips and a battered sausage to try the place out as the previous 2 establishments located here have not been great. I can hand on heart say that the food here is nothing short of a delicacy. Easily the best sausage and fish and chips I have had. The chips in particular were amazing , perfectly cooked and with a lovely crunch - think triple cooked. No sogginess in site. Everything screamed fresh! An added bonus for me was that Tartar sauce is sold in tub rather than a sachet like most other places. Staff were great and I was served very quickly. Consider me a new loyal customer and next time I will be ordering large!
