The food here is pretty good and lots of choice. Not just fish and chips, kebabs too and a selection of chicken. You generally get a large portion and plenty of food with your order. Sometimes the staff can be a bit slow but overall, it's a good place to get food.

Sorted us a large meal for 4 people just before they closed, no issue and even chucked in some extras for free. The geezers behind the counter were lovely and friendly, would definitely come here again

This place is very convenient because it offers standard fish and chip menu plus kebabs. The fish and chips were decent, and so was the donor kebab, but the shish kebab did not feel freshly cooked on the grill as it would be in a "proper" kebab shop. It didn't taste flame grilled and was very small chunks of meat. Plus definitely not proper chilli sauce. Just a warning, but I would recommend the fish and ships though. Very nice.
