Food is v greasy & extremely overpriced, portions are tiny and milkshakes are now the same texture as a slush puppy. What a shame the new owners have destroyed what was one of the best chippers in town. Avoid & save your money.

JPs has gone to the dogs, under the new management. The Fish are revolting, batter sticks to the cheap cartons. Portions are less quantity & more expensive. It’s an atrocious dining experience & I won’t be back. Shockingly bad.

This was the most disgusting meal I have ever had from any chippy. The batter on the fish was burnt and soggy. I wouldn’t even give it to my cat. Will never be back at this excuse for a chippy. Has went well downhill from the new management has taken over. Done try it plenty other decent chippies in Portadown.

I've been a life long visitor of JPs all my life, this has been 30 years of regular visits. As I regularly buy the same food I found tonights to be pretty poor. The changes are clear, cheap pathetic containers and a major change to the jumbo hotdog sausage. Same length but half as thick. The gravy chip I order had almost no gravy which i've never experienced before. The complete package was so poor i'll not be back in a hurry. I'll maybe try in 6 months to see if there has been a return to the past in any way.

I had food in here Saturday night and Monday night both nights most chips were black and bad, small portion sizes and the battered sausages and fish were burnt, for what was once the best chippy in town I won’t be in a rush back

Totally awful food , rude service, any wonder it’s up for sale, the original owner would be ashamed of what has happened to this place that was once regarded as the best chip shop in town, total disgrace, soggy excuse for food and rude staff when asked to replace the food

JP,'s has always been my favourite for fish and chips. I don't mind paying for decent food. What I don't like is paying good money for utterly miserable portions. The portion of chips was literally half if what I've had in the past. The fish supper just had a sprinkle of chips more like a garnish than the portion I was charge for. I won't ever be back, it's a rip off.

JP's used to be nicer but on recent visits the food quality and standards have been hit and miss. We haven't returned after our last food order had to be binned due to being cold and undercooked!

This takeaway chippy has definitely declined in its standards. Chips were extremely poor, soggy and cold even when eaten directly outside after purchase. The portion of chips were filled with so many small end pieces. Onions in burger were burnt and very greasy. Used to love this chippy but will have to rethink after past couple of experiences.

Really poor chips and service, called to get a pastie and chips for my father who has to stay at home and he is not fussy however he could not eat the chips, I called to make staff aware and was basically insulted and made to feel like I was lying, conversation was not as expected and stressful we will never ever be back , I called to advise of this because I was unable to return due to having to assist with my poorly mother, really poor way to treat your customers,, still fuming ,, my advice is go elsewhere and you might be appreciated

Our family have eaten here for as long as I can remember and it has always been great. I got married 7 years ago and moved to Belfast but have struggled to find anywhere as good even in a city like that. Many have come close, none have beaten. I dont get to eat here as often as I would like, but when I do its always a treat to come back. Their JP Fillet burger with bacon and cheese is glorious and the food is reasonably priced. Best chippy ever.

Really Great food served here. I called tonight and one girl was run off her feet doing all the frying, serving, taking orders etc. While the others were having a break. Poor girl was coping well but you could see she was stressed. Staffing needs sorted as is to wait fifteen mins and was the first in queue.

Nos dieron una comida para llevar té esta noche, y puedo decir honestamente que es algunos de los más pobres peces que he tenido en algún tiempo. El bateador en el pescado estaba muy gruesos, bastante pesado y pesado. No sé cuántas veces había sido remojadas. Terminé raspado qué pescado poco había, y agrupamiento de masa vacía el kilogramo. Las patatas fritas eran bastante bueno, pero en última instancia fue realmente decepcionante. No volveré pronto

A well run spot. First time visiting this place was last week. They had 6 staff on showing how busy it actually was. We preordered our food and it only took 15mins for 4 meals.I got the fish supper. The fish was huge. The batter was maybe slightlyOverlooked in parts but not bad enough to stop me eating it. Chips were lovely.Would definitely go back. The chicken burger looked the ticket

We are glad to say we can now rate this chippy highly. We felt that it had slipped for a period of time there, whether different produce was being used or what we don't know but the JPs taste just wasn't there, glad to see it's back again, we will be back frequently again. Keep it up :D

We have tried a lot off the menu but a couple of high-lights are the beef cutlets & their burgers. Would recommend the fish & chips as well.A good selection of ice-creams also available.Come here hungry as they serve ample portions.

To me this is the best fish and chip take away in County Armagh. Their battered sausages are also to die for. Everything is cooked fresh when ordered so everything is delivered hot and tasty. One large fish can easily satisfy two modest appetites. While waiting for your order to be cooked, just stand back and listen to the banter among the staff - on a good day I can understand about half of their words! It's funny - but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I called into jp's for 2 battered sausages - they were a bit squidgy and i could tell they were cheap sausages. the chips were tasty, and i cant give an opinion on anything else as it may well have been much tastier. friendly enough staff. would try again...just not the sausages!

I used to always call in here with my mum for fish and chips on a Saturday and hadn't called in in a long time, so we decided to get something out of it again. It is nowhere near as nice as it used to be, the chips don't taste the same at all and our order took forever.It used to be really good but it isn't anymore. Very sad to see and i don't think i will call in here again.

The man who started this business (and who sadly passed away just a couple of years ago) had a wonderful reputation for food which is why I went there for two fish suppers (takeaway) one evening. I've rarely been as disappointed and I certainly wouldn't be back. I'd also like to reflect the comments from another reviewer who said the staff were very sour looking. I agree.

The food here is delicious, it's just a shame about their staff. The females working in it honestly look like if they smiled they would crack their face, even the way they ask you if you want salt and vinegar etc. Customer service training wouldn't go amiss, even just a smile goes a long way and manners cost nothing after all

Not living in Portadown, and being in the area called in to get a snack. the choice of fast food was wide and reasonably priced. Having ordered the food say a sign for a hippy shake, which ended up being a Malteser milk shake with ice cream. Not for me but for wife. had to go back again to get her a few when she was in hospital. Ended up the nurses tried it as well and they told me they would be calling in for some. The food was fresh and well cooked. Thanks

Menu is very basic 'school canteen' esque, fine but overpriced for what it is and compared to other food places in Rushmere. Had curry and rice, just chicken and onions in sauce, no veg. Very loud, hard to hear staff and for them to hear you which means orders are often messed up. Cafeteria/canteen style service, hard to manuvere around with tray because of crowded tables.

18 of Killicomaine Jubilee Club went here for our Christmas Lunch. The room was freezing ( a member of staff did bring a tiny fan heater out). No Christmas decorations on the tables, not even a cracker or Christmas napkins. No background music. The turkey parcels were only half ones, one cocktail sausage, one roast potato and mashed potatoes Roast beef dinner consisted of 2 wafer thin slices and same as above without the cocktail sausage. Plenty of vegetables. The dessert wasn't the greatest either. Our end of year meal and venue was so disappointing. One of the members described it as soulless and that's what it was at a cost of £19.95 each. Not a bit of wonder we were the only one's there
