The Haynes — Restaurant in England

For food quality, there is no better fish 'n' chips anywhere from Midsomer Norton's vicinity to Warminster (A362 / A350 / A36). I believe this business is the legacy of a long-standing family tradition, and they do everything right. Cod cooked fresh (as opposed to not fresh but simply done to order where humanoids are insulted and forced to wait to the entertainment of some thrifty takeaway owner): cod should always be immediately available - there are reasons that it should not be fried to order and if chip shop owners do not know this, they require education. Not all chippies know how to prepare pies but Haynes do - plus they have the delicious Steak & Ale (rare). Prices are reasonable but could do with more chips for what we pay (3.00 £ doesn't get you much), and the opening times are highly impractical given most of us customers would welcome a seven-day service and could be helped by a permanent 5pm opening (not just on Fridays) so as not to queue for the best part of an hour if arriving a minute or so after 6pm on a Saturday. These criticisms however are purely of an administrative nature and deeper exploration into this is not within the scope of this review. For the purpose of this post, the food is 100% perfect and I recommend this takeaway to any humanoid living within such a radius that the food will still be warm when you reach your destination (commenting here on takeaway and not...

Moved into the area recently and fancied giving The Haynes a go this evening. My wife and I normally share a Large Cod and Large chips so that's what I ordered with a side of Mushy peas. What I got was very disappointing, it fell very short of the described Jumbo Cod, the fish was thin, small at best and grey, coated in an overcooked burnt batter, the Jumbo that I paid a premium for was no bigger than the fish in the warming area, the batter left a burnt bitter taste in my mouth. The chip portion size was by no means large although the chips were very nice. This place feels like its describing one thing whilst your served something quite different, the meal cost a premium and I didn't mind that but I expect to receive a premium product. All in all this place fell well short of expectation, quality and quantity given the premium price tag failed to impress, a smile from the staff wouldn't go a miss either, I was standing at the counter for a good 10 minutes without any acknowledgment of my presence. I won't go...

Top Dog n truly a grait chippy n probably the best in the area n the fish n chips rock n roll too! Well cooked proper chunky potato chips with a crispy n light freshly cooked finish. All the usual trimmings (that other chippies don't have) , like curry source, pickeled guirkins, eggs, onions n even more. Not just the usual two types of fish, chicken n different pies are also on offer. This place is very popular and has a restaurant, so book early to get a seat or turn up n join the takeaway queue. You can even phone in an order if that's what suits u too. For a wee chippy in a small village there's lots on offer here. Service is well good n knowledgeable staff behind the counter. Give it a go, what's not to like? Also it's a valuable local business n employer and the staff are friendly, happy n knowledgeable n the girls must be from to the village too. It's well good, clean n food is fresh or...
