Been going here for several years now. Top quality fish and chips at reasonable price. Friendly hardworking staff always polite. I highly recommend.

Food really bland and boring staff lovely.

Excellent food cooked to order.

Food as expected. The Greggs app is worth it if you buy a large order. You will eventually get a free pastry or a free sweet treat, which is a nice incentive.

Food was absolutely disgusting. My chips were stone cold and my friends cheesy chips looked and tasted like rubber. Don't recommend. It's been over 20yrs since I've been to a wimpy now I know why.

We always chose this hotel because we know it's not only in an ideal location for us but we've never been let down qua cleanliness and comfort.

Excellent staff, I was given a clean and tidy room that that was stocked with good basics, good value for money.

I phoned up and tried to order a 1/2Lb berger with extra cheese and a pineapple ring, back in the day we called it a Hawaiian burger. I was told they couldn't do that, baring in mind they sell pineapple fritters, I was told that the pineapple rings are frozen and thaw out when the fritters are cooked. Am I expecting to much for them to figure out if they put a frozen pineapple ring on the grill with the burgers it will thaw out by the time the burgers are cooked. Their stupidity cost them a £30+ order. This place and especially the girls on the phone are going down hill rapidly

Food was OK for a chain pub just think server was very rude possibly her name was Nicola

Excellent customer service. First time in for us today .excellent menu choice.4 adults 2 kids ..excellent prices

First and certainly won’t be the last time coming to this restaurant. The staff were so attentive and the food was amazing! Food and drinks came quickly and was all very enjoyable. Could not recommend enough

Freshly cooked Large Haddock and chips. Just perfect. Fun staff. Busy Saturday evening.

Came for a family night out and was disappointed as they don’t have a liquor license, so we had soft drinks instead,was served flat coke and a can of lemonade,when we queried the flat coke the waiter said it was the ice cubes that Made it flat 🤔,was told we can bring our own alcohol in so we popped across the road and bought our own in,after the meal which was medioca we asked for the bill and to our horror they put down we had two cans of lemonade not one and added £12.50 extra to bring our own alcohol in which we wasn’t made aware of,we all felt so disappointed dinning at “JOY” as we had seen good reviews,just check your bill as things get added and are not clear in the final bill!!!

By far the best fish and chips we've ever had! The guy serving was amazing. Thank you so much.
