If I could give a zero rating i would! Absolutely disgusting food, chips were brown and covered in a greasy/oily residue, Savaloy skin was dry like paper, Sausage in batter burnt. Definitely the worst food I've ever had from a takeaway.

Looks like a very nice Chinese takeaway which also doubles as a fish and chip shop. We enjoyed two fish and chips meals and a pie and chips. Nice portion of chips, lovely fish, pie etc. It's an easy 4 stars, will revisit but can't comment …

Would not order the squid was like leather. Special fried rice was mainly rice and no flavour. Don’t bother wasting your money.

We've been using this place for years and I can honestly say I don't think we've ever had a bad meal from them! Had a Chinese last weekend and everything was great, food was fresh, hot and tasty, absolutely no complaints here!
