Great value for the cost - got a takeaway with a truly massive piece of cod to go along with my chips. Tasty and crisp but not too greasy! Better open hours than other chip shops in the city, which was much appreciated.

Nice local chip shop and prices that aren't inflated due to its location like the other ls in the area in fact probably cheaper than my home chip shop, Chips and fish were very nice and so was the sausages and curry.

Good quality fish and chips. Very friendly staff and owner. Curry sauce was a bit on the sweet side. A word of warning they are open from 12 noon to 8pm and are not open on Sunday and Monday.

Great quality. And by far the biggest portion size around by an absolute mile! Also the best curry sauce around, and it’s not fish and chips without curry sauce. Easy to park too which is a bonus

If I could give this place 6 stars then I would. We had both fantastic food and service from this chip shop. The fish, chips, scampi, mushy peas and battered sausage were all cooked perfectly and it was all full of flavour. Dave is such a lovely guy and if we’re in the area again, then we shall definitely go back for more of his friendliness and food :)!

Lovely piece of fish superbly cooked in a crispy batter.. just ask them to put a bit more salt and vinegar on the chips

Worth seeking out this place if you want the traditional fish n chips with an option for something different. Option of small, medium or large fish n chips is a nice touch. Prices very reasonable and the foot long sausage and chips even made our teenage son look up from his screen! We took ours in the car to Exmouth beach and sat on the sea front.
