3 fish bites and chips with curry sauce all for 5.50 what a bargin. Tasted fresh, the fish was lighty battered just how I like it. The staff were friendly which made the atmosphere welcoming. And the portion size was generous. Would recommend
Seen this place on Facebook I live a long way away but was passing yesterday so called in. I got the special fish it was huge, very tasty and lovely crispy batter. Unfortunately none of the main people seen on Facebook were working quite possibly recovering from good Friday lol. I wanted to meet the main man Liam hopefully next time. Only downside was the food was served wrapped in paper would have been better in a box so easier to eat in the car.
Fantastic fish and chips from here last night. Glad to see the kebabs etc have gone and they now cook the traditional way in dripping. A quality chippy can survive on selling basics of a chippy. This place was packed and rightfully so. All the best to this business.
My first time trying this place and wow it was amazing. Very friendly and pleasant staff amazing food and at a good price too. I can not fault this place at all this is definitely my favourite place for fish and chips now.
Amazing food. Best fish and chips I had in a long time. Thought the fish and chips come with peas but it didn't I rang and asked could I pay cash for peas on delivery, but they said not to worry and give me free 2 peas. Fresh hot and so nice
Absolutely first class. Just moved to Alverthorpe and the first time we've been here. ,19.30 last Monday..First class fish. Onion Rings to die for and all fresh and Piping hot. Will be returning soon. Don't know how they do it for the money..plus first class staff..
What can I say, had a job to Wakefield first time going there, dropped the passenger and typed in fish and chips near me, this place came up. Lovely people in Wakefield Lovely staff Had to wait 5/6 mins for fresh cod fish which was even better love my fish just fried fresh, the chips were perfect and the curry sauce was 20/10 Clean shop, food colour was fresh chips done perfectly and again the lady serving me referred to me as this gentleman fish is ready. Lovely place no wonder they got awards Would definitely go again if I’m near that place even if it’s 20 miles radius Drove back to Birmingham full nice after taste too. Keep up the good work guys
We wasn't asked how we would have our sauce we would normally choose to have in a pot separately. But the lady who served us was so nice and the food was amazing
