Just been in to get some lunch. Asked for a potato scallop on barm and was told it would be £3.80! I opted for a chip barm which was £3.00. Stupid how that works out. Then when I got home the chips were mostly scraps and I mean it 80%. I didn’t order the scoop chips and couldn’t eat the bloody barm because what ever was in there was cutting my mouth open on the crunchy sharp ones!! Tried calling to sort but was closed. Worst chippy in brig by a mile

Below average food. Over priced. Staff rude if you pay on card. Go to the Village Fish bare instead around the corner. Lovely people, huge portions and well priced.

Bought a tray of chips, arrived home to find a tray of scraps, so disappointed, and now they have lost a customer if that's what my hard earned money gets me. I changed my chip shop to village chippy because of the above and they are very good, but required chips tonight (Monday) however they are closed, went back to John Dory and watched what I was given, different girl serving but lovely chips, back to the standards I'm used to from them, even although a little less chips there's still sufficient for 2 people, excellent.

Now I understand why everyone says, "you gotta try the fish 'n chips." The John Dory Fish Bar in South Preston is a takeout-only establishment. I told them it was my first time and asked for their most popular option. They recommended having it with salt and vinegar. The food came straight from the fryer into a cardboard takeout box. I had to wait a bit for it to cool, but it was worth it. I wish this chain was available in the States.

I visited tonight at about 8.10pm (closes at 8.30)on the recomendation of my wife, got 3 sausage chips and gravy. Portion size was very small for the cost! I’ll put that down to the fact that there was still a lot of customers coming in and they where trying to stretch the last lot of chips between us all before the shop closed, even to a point where I seen the boss take a tray of chips back off a server with a normal size portion of chips in it and put some back! I left the shop at 8.35 and he had agreed to serving another customer fish and chips, I would hate to see the size of his portion. Lesson learnt don’t go in before closing time.

We normally use John Dory on a Friday as a weekend treat however recently portion sizes have gotten progressively worse. Considering how much you pay, they shouldn’t be so stingy with portion sizes of chips. We had fish and chips last night each and we got a tiny portion of chips with each fish which meant we were still hungry afterwards. Are John Dory experiencing a massive chip shortage that no other chippies are experiencing? If they did proper portion sizes the food would be good. Please let your prices reflect your portion sizes!

The food is served in really cheap cardboard trays, the trays don’t have a lid so the food is wrapped in paper. This made the food go all over the place and was also cold when we got home 10 mins after leaving the shop. I found this shop to charge a premium but deliver low quality food in low quality trays and wrapping. Not good value and our chippy treat wasn’t great. We will try one of the other chip shops locally, preferably one that uses decent trays and wraps the food correctly. £26.20 for a bag of cold food!

Great food, large portions, but, Was in there Monday night for pie and chips with salt and vinegar. Got to a place to at it and there was NO salt or vinegar on eithhhher the pies or chips, so, Tueasday night asked for EXTRA salt and vinegar. The order duly arrived, asked if it had the apropriate condiments added and was told it had. Got to a place to eat again, AND, NO SALT OR VINEGAR AGAIN. Won't be back in the area again for a couple of months but don't think I will be using this chippy again...

Went Saturday evening to try again, as always I ordered a lightly battered fish. Well again the owner couldn’t be bothered to fry one and told the staff that’s lightly battered. Well it sure as hell wasn’t. The batter was all wet and gooey on the inside. The reason why I always ask for lightly battered. Well it’s the last £8.50 he will have of my money. I’m sick of giving them another try. There are other chip shops, ok some don’t open Saturday but I will now drive to Leyland cross or farrington chippy before giving them anymore money.

The food quality excellent but let down by the early closing times.... 8.30 pm- particularly on a Friday/Saturday isn't great....... There seems to be an obsession with online orders also which they seem to struggle to co-ordinate with walk-ins.... chips piled up in trays 15 mins before closing time..... Also seemed to have changed the Hollands Steak Puddings to another brand that's tastes like a lower quality pudding....

Literally the worst fish and chips I've ever had in my life, we live around the corner and we ordered our food on the Internet, husband picked it up and came straight home and the fish wasn't one bit warm it was stone cold, a large potion of chips?! I'd say it was a small portion of scraps personally! And just to rub it in that little bit more there were hardly any fish under all that chewy batter! Back to the village chippy I go! 😋 *Andy- rewriting your response other a year later for whatever reason?... I still never went back, anyone else get yourselves to the village chippy its absolutely delicious! And the best bit is its not overpriced!*

Shame about this chippy, always enjoyed the food in the past. I honestly don’t think I can bring myself to go again. I went in the other evening and it was chaos, no queuing system, totally ignored, just shouting out random online orders. They totally forgot about the walk-ins and a lot of us walked out in disgust after about 10-15mins of not even being acknowledged. Very disappointing and something needs to change, whilst I understand about technology and making things more efficient, please don’t forget the passing trade. There is a lot to be said for the old fashioned way of walking into a chip shop and walking out with some chips.

Alright but only alright. Ordered onion rings and at 8 for £2 I assumed they'd be homemade. Nope, I got 7 (cook needs to learn to count) onion rings that had come out of the freezer, and I had to wait over ten minutes for them. Not good. The chips were okay, my BF said the fishcake was good but not the best he's had. Next time I'm coming through and decide to visit I'll just get chips and hopefully won't have to wait so long for them.
