Most Disliked
Not having a website can frustrate some first-time visitors who are used to online menus and convenience. A few customers mention occasional wait times during peak hours, especially during lunch and dinner rushes when the volume of orders swells. Some patrons hope for an expanded menu to include more vegetarian or vegan choices, as the current options are somewhat limited compared to the extensive meat and seafood selections.
While the takeaway-only model resonates with many, those who prefer delivery services may find it inconvenient. The lack of online presence means that discovering the menu or making reservations may require a phone call instead of a quick web search. Nonetheless, these minor drawbacks do not overshadow the shop's overall appeal.

Just came back from Scotland, and was in need of some good fish and chips after bad experiences in MK I wasn’t confident. However, with some chips whilst waiting (which were the best I’ve had down south), and the fish was very good for how far we are away from the sea! 10/10 and the man serving was excellent, super nice and respectful!

Well this was a very welcome surprise on the quest for good chip shops in Milton Keynes. It looks like a Chinese Takeaway from the outside but then turns out to be a chip shop as you get closer. We had the Cod and Chips for a reasonable price and scored a random freebie of Prawn Crackers for placing an order.... hmmm I thinks, Prawn Crackers + Fish and Chips.... weird. When we got the food home I was very surprised to find that there was no grease and the food was amazing. Crispy fish instead of soft, greasy batter being the crown jewel... so I thought. The Prawn Crackers were nice and thick, and very tasty.... have you ever eaten Prawn Crackers with chips or fried fish on the top.... well you should!! A new favourite meal!! 🤣
