A family run business

We are a family-run business, and have been serving the nation’s favourite dish for over 40 years. We have built our reputation by prioritising quality and service - which led us to win the award for the ‘Best Fish and Chip Restaurant’ in the UK. This year, we were also proud to be named a winner in the 2025 TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards.

 

We are passionate about our food and are very proud to work alongside local suppliers to deliver the best possible produce to your table. Our potatoes travel only a few miles down the road, and are chipped fresh every morning.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to dine in at our restaurant, or alternatively pop round to our takeaway if you’d prefer to enjoy your favourite dish at home.

Freshly cooked burger with onion rings

“Great burgers made fresh and tasty - curry too, constituting a great alternative for vegetarians and vegans. The menu clearly lists all allergens, making it easy to choose. All food is freshly prepared from high quality ingredients, served by friendly staff. Great atmosphere in the massive sit-in restaurant, enhancing the experience of a traditional meal in a traditional setting. I enjoyed dining here several times and I will certainly come back for more!!”

Fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce

“The fish was fresh, beautifully cooked and the batter was light and crisp. It was delicious. The location is great with off street parking. The restaurant is light, airy and spacious. The service provided by staff was exceptional with attention to detail. Will definitely be returning.”

Sausage and chips

“Definitely the best fish and chip restaurant around. We come up from Cornwall to eat there - very quick service, always amazing food, great portions, thick flakes of white fish, friendly staff, very easy to book online. Highly recommend.”
