Ethical place this. The owner seems to do a fair bit of work for charity. Quite a few posters up on the wall about it, So while cramming fish and chips down your neck and feeling guilty you aren't having salad you can alleviate the guilt thinking about the people you are helping.
I've been dropping in here when calling round to my friend's house on and off for a few years and for some reason never thought to review it (is a chippie not enough of an event to think to review it?). Its always been great, seems to be a few pennies more than you would pay in most other chip shops for the same thing, due to the owner making such contributions to charity I've never thought anything of it and been happy to pay. Not least of all am I happy to pay as the food is usually very good and came in decent portion sizes..........until my last visit anyway. It's sad that it was a less satisfactory visit that finally prompted me to write a review of a place I've been to plenty of times. On my last visit I ordered my chicken fillet burger (fully dressed) and a large chip. Where I was left underwhelmed was not the very slight impression of a tiny drop in quality, after all everywhere fluctuates a tiny bit from visit to visit, it was the value for money. As I mentioned the prices were already a little higher than some other places and they now seem to have gone up. We're still not talking very much here though. However, when this happens at the same time as the portion sixe seems to reduce drastically it's not good. The large chip was tiny, and I mean tiny, if I had to put a number on it I'd say 60% of the normal size. The chicken burger usually barely fist in the box but this time the bap was considerably smaller and it still made the chicken fillet look smaller still. Also the *fully dressed option was about to bit of shredded lettuce, no tomato and no mayo. I'm hoping this was just a one off, but with the burger and baps shrink at the same time then it would seem to me that they've made a conscious effort to buy cheaper from a different supplier rather than just a coincidence. read more
