Staff were lovely and quick service. Unfortunately not to Ritchie's that I knew years ago. Although the fish tasted good, the fish was paper thin. Looks like a huge fish but sadly mostly batter 🙁 Edit in response to reply from owner. I didn't realise that Ritchie's had changed ownership on many occasions over the past 20 years and It is good to hear that you value quality, however, paper thin cod is not quality.

It was a great time chatting to the fellas while they were preparing our order. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone wanting a great feed while in...
Read moreFANTASTIC fish and chips. Everything shatteringly crisp but still soft on the inside, not greasy at all😍 Offered me salt and vinegar on the fish and chips and gave me Ketchup when requested (which was delicious...is Irish Ketchup just better or was this homemade?) I am an American tourist and he was so funny and nice to me when I had a bit of a slip up and asked for something by the wrong name, then gave me a bottle of it for free! Such a nice guy. He made my afternoon. Such good prices too!! Only £11.42 for the fish and chips. Would recommend!! I took a 20 minute bus ride just to come here bc of the other reviews and it was...
