Nice chips but the fish was like chewing on a piece of rubber. Friends had similar and theirs was okay so maybe I was just unlucky?

Just stopped for cod and small chips. Chips fine. Batter grim and couldn’t eat what is usually my favourite part of a fish and chip tea. Batter in all likelihood was heavier than the rest of the food. Unfortunately other options in town will now be prioritised

Went in here last night for one portion of fish and chips, nearly £10. The fish was a good size but the batter was thick, doughy and chewy. No crispness at all. Like cutting cardboard. I threw most of it away and won't be going back. Much better alternatives in MH.

Good prices, good service, and the best fish and chips in town. I have tried others in town, but always return here. Totally recommended.

Stale old chips and greasy fish. Haven’t been here for many months and it’s still at terrible as it used to be. Like refried food from the day before. Worst chip shop in Harborough!

The burger meat was thin, tough & overcooked with a strange aftertaste, the cheese wasn’t melted, the bun was incredibly stale, and the salad wasn’t fresh. The chips were ok, but the unfriendly and frankly disinterested woman serving wouldn’t split a portion of chips. Not just eat, just avoid.

£5.99 for a small fish chips and peas now I know it's a small lunchtime special but this was appalling fish finger was more it. Very few chips not even good quality. Very disappointing. Go to kibworth chippy.

We’ve recently moved into Harborough and thought we’d have a treat of fish and chips to save cooking. Quite simply the worst fish and chips we have ever had. We ordered small portions but the fish was tiny, very dry and the batter soggy. It was hard to find amongst the huge quantity of very soggy chips. It seemed as though chips were added to make up for the small fish. I very rarely post a review like this but at £33 you do expect better.

It looked OK from the outside, but the doubts started as the surly member of staff took my order. The fish was sitting there behind the glass looking as though it had been there a good while. After paying over the odds, I took my food home. The batter on the overcooked fish was thick, spongy and soggy with oil. The chips were sad and floppy. It all ended up in the bin after the cat, too, turned his nose up at it. What a waste of money and good ingredients. Never again! Would definitely NOT recommend. Spend your money elsewhere.

Once I got it home and opened it , a white crusty dog turd looked more appealing!!!

Went in for a chip cob this lunchtime. Cold, black chips in a cob that literally crumbled the moment you touched it. Inedible. I threw it in the bin immediately. I can’t believe in such a competitive environment a business cares so little for its products and so much contempt for its customers

Fish and chips while travelling home late from northern England, staff were friendly and helpful, good size portions and the fish was tasty. Just make sure you don't arrive too late on quiet week evenings/nights as they don't fry certain items late, as clearly there's not the local trade then in comparison to Friday/Saturday nights. Makes sense and reduces food waste. Well worth popping in for a great takeaway
