The Mod Cod - Poached Fish

After an awful experience in June 2014, I decided to call back in The Mod Cod, to give them another…read morechance, after they told me that they were gluten free (eventually) however never did I expect for a business owner to abuse me, behind my back. I spoken to them on the phone to ask about the chips being gluten free, she told me that she would check, after some time on "silent hold", I noticed that she had hung up on me, hence I rang back (no reply), a few minutes later I phoned back, she blamed the disconnection on a simple thing not of her fault, and she did eventually tell me they were gluten free, and they was no chance of cross-contamination. I was delighted to see a chippy do this, she claimed they had a separate fryer and they were gluten free, however as soon as I arrived their and my friend ran in, they were saying things about me " That call burnt my head out, and I don't know what I'm doing now" was one of her quotations. I felt really upset to hear about this, especially considering they had a large sign up, mentioning to ask about allergy information, considering what happened with her reaction to the phone call, hanging up on me on one occasion and also ignoring my call, straight away, I feel they don't have a clue about allergies, and would rather risk making customers very unwell and call them names behind their back, rather than tell them a truth, this could loose business but it would avoid customers becoming very angry and/or ill. I really do regret giving The Mod Cod a second chance, and I am quite upset for them to talk me about that, especially considering since December 2014 it has been EU law for places to provide allergen information, and although they did, I highly doubt what they told me was true, but to get me off the phone quickly. I also feel not only is it disgraceful to insult customers behind their back, but to other customers too.

Went here when it first opened and it was expensive but really nice…read more Went in last week and got a scollop muffin and nearly broke my teeth on it the scollops had been reheated that many times they had evaporated the potato that was once in them leaving just the hard reheated batter shell and I mean hard batter the only good thing was the muffin which I ate on its own after throwing the scallops away such a shame their standards have slipped so badly.

Hollins Fish Bar - Gluten Free Chips

Avoid Avoid Avoid…read more Think this place must have recently changed hands. Was run by children, service with a scowl. All gossiping amongst themselves without any chat to customers. Took ages to get the order. While waiting I noticed they'd charged me a higher amount than on their menu, mentioned it and they said 'all prices subject to change'. It's actually illegal! No manners, no thanks for spending £30 on 3 fish. Such a shame, this was a great local chippy but I wont be going back.

Hollins English Fish and Chips, now styled as Hollins Fish Bar is one of the many Fish and Chip…read moreshops in Middleton, this one is located on Nowell Road on the Hollins estate, it's just under two miles from Middleton town centre, which I'm sure many locals would agree is also dominated by takeaways. Hollins is one of the very few Fish and Chip shops, not just in the North West but the country to actually have gluten free offerings, which is quite good, it is good to see a larger number of places operating this now including Hollins, which is quite local to me. I ordered a Gluten Free Fish and Chips, this is served everyday when they are open other than Friday evenings after 4:30pm which is quite frustrating, they did seem to have a slightly smaller frier dedicated to gluten free food, which was good to see. The food its-self tasted okay, infact it tasted much better than it looked. The chips were just okay, despite looking quite anaemic and pale at first, which was a shame. The portion of the fish was a little small and the batter wasn't evenly spread across, making it feel like typical gluten free food as it wasn't as crunchy and tasty as a normal fish, infact I found the whole meal to taste a little bland even with my own seasoning adding on, mainly down to the gluten free batter not being too nice at all. The price was reasonable, my friend also ordered a Full fish and chips and a large pot of peas, the whole meal came to £10.60 which equals around £5.30 each which is quite reasonable, especially for gluten free as I've often paid double for the same meal while eating out, such as at 2 Oxford Place in Leeds, mainly with the high pricetag due to being free from gluten. Overall, the food here isn't fantastic but the pricing is reasonable and they do have gluten free options, and this did start recently which shows they are processing in the right direction and also do have some knowledge on cross-contamination and Coeliac Disease to use separate cooking equipment, sadly as the food was slightly bland and didn't look too nice, making it stand out in a bad way, I sadly feel this place deserves a slightly generous two star rating.
