Carvers

Always a friendly welcome with a smile from staff, the excellent fish 'n' chips were very tasty. Two types of curry sauce, normal and the much more flavoursome spicier 'Irish' one. Restaurant very clean and tidy. Best in the area. Great music selection, oldies and classics, not playing too loudly. Always enjoyable and great food.

Have used the chip shop takeaway option before but this was my first time in the dining area. The restaurant is surprisingly larger than you would think and the dimmed lighting, and wooden decor make it feel very cozy, and i imagine in an evening with the right person it could even be almost romantic in its own way. There is also a small bar area by the till area that was well presented. The menu was more varied than some similar chip shop sit-down dining, but not as varied as others so middle of the road there, however the quality of food and staff are definitely not middle of the road (in a good way), as they were happy to mix and match items from various menu options onto one plate, and were friendly throughout. The food arrived hot and fully cooked, and was delicious for the most part. The 2 reasons it loses a star from my review is, considering it's a chippie with on-site frying facilities i expected the Halloumi fingers to be battered rather than breaded (i don't think it mentioned breaded on the menu). They would be less bland and more flavourful if battered. The other reason is, it was December when I visited yet there were nothing to indicate the festive season, no decorations on the window ledges, counter, ceiling (away from tables) and not even Christmas songs on the music player, instead the music was very generic and punctured the ambience somewhat at times. Overall 4/5 stars, will definitely visit again
