Just be prepared that your £9.40 mixed kebab will be this small, 6 pieces of chicken/lamb in total and filled with salad and soggy onions to make up for the lack of meat. staff know they are wrong as they laughed when I mentioned the 6 pieces and hung up. waste of money when there's other options on the high street for a real kebab. I wouldn't recommend at all.

They seem to have lost their love for good quality fish and chips...fish batter is like carpet and super greasy....chips are just as bad...the whole meal left and bad greasy taste in my mouth. We usually go to cranmore for our fish and chips where my 6 year old lives the fish. When we made a random trip back to sea spray he refused to eat more than one bite of the fish. Says it all

I’ve been twice in the past 6 weeks and sadly the food wasn’t good either time .The first time the pie was dry as if it had sat under a heat lamp all day and on the last visit the chips were greasy and left a rancid aftertaste .. the oil must have been old . Honestly a waste of money (over £10 for 3 bags of chips and 2 curry sauces) . . It all went in the bin.Such a shame as the food used to be really good.

The workers are nothing but miserable sods, utter lifeless zombies, and by workers I especially include the owners themselves. I am, quite regrettably, a regular customer of this shop and it’s not like my order is small, I spend over £50 everytime and have been doing so for years before. They have been rude every single time I’ve visited and this goes on for years, I’m annoyed it has taken me this long to actually say something. They do NOT correspond over the phone either, no matter how many times you may try, seems like they just don’t care of their parents’ hard earned so don’t even bother wasting your breath. Has not been the same since the original owners, parents of the current owners, had passed it down. What a disgrace

This ‘plaice’ has been skating on ‘fin’ ice for years and today’s visit was the last one for me. I ordered 5 items and the bag looked a bit thin, when I questioned this the lady serving huffed loudly and spoke to the guy next to her in a different language in a derogatory manner. I got home to find that I only had 4 items. The chips where cold, the fish was heavy going and drenched in oil. I have ‘haddock’ with this ‘plaice’ and I think it’s a load of ‘pollocks’!

The good thing about my recent visit was the food was piping hot the bad thing was the food is rank. It tasted like they have been using same oil for the past week, it did not look appetising from the start and was as bad as it looked. I ate in and the owner/server had a customer he knew and was f'ing and blinding while still behind the counter. I cannot remember having such a bad fish and chip experience for a long time.

Food isn't bad here but my friend informed me of their one star hygeine rating (I verified this online) unbeknown to me before my last visit... The final nail in the coffin is the fact that the staff aren't wearing gloves, they're handling cash as they don't take cards, then the person who served me coughed into their hand before going to hand me my change. That's pretty appalling when there is a worldwide pandemic.

Not always that good in my Opinion! Went a couple of months ago and it looked like they were cleaning down. The fish display was turned back on when we went in. The fish and chips were disgusting. The fish had sat on that display (switched off) for who knows how long. Went there again last night and mentioned about my previous visit. The lady never apologised for the last time. These yesterday were not to standard either. The fish had been done a while as the batter had gone from crisp to hard. I think they are quite ignorant in there - no please or thank you. Will Never go again. £12.80. Is not cheap for food that has not been freshly cooked. They used to be excellent but this was a long time ago now, perhaps when the parents ran the business.

Rude, rude rude. Pointed to a chicken kebab in the counter, and when I saw them doing me a donna kebab I politely asked for the item I ordered. Was met with a barrage of abuse from the woman serving telling me I’d paid for a donna kebab and that was all I was getting. I offered to pay more for what I wanted then she said ‘what am I supposed to do with that?’, pointing at the kebab she’d done. Language was a barrier but that’s no excuse, I’d have walked out if I hadn’t already paid! Meat was poor quality too. Won’t be going back, and to think I gave them a large tip at Christmas!
