After years of supporting another local chip shop they had a change of ownership and, whilst their shop was closed for a refit, some friends called in here and were mightily impressed.

So, on the strength of that, we decided to give it a go and telephoned and order through for me to collect - it had just come out of the fryer as I arrived. The guy behind the counter was excellent and friendly.

The portions were immense. I have no idea where some of the reviewers here normally est fish and chips from but a standard sized piece of fish that hangs over both sides of a dining plate is pretty god in my reckoning. The chips were equally good value - one standard portion being enough for the three of us with some left over.

The fish was very nice and cooked to perfection as were the chips and I'm told the gravy was very tasty (I don't do gravy with fish!)

Lastly I must come to the value. The portion sizes were the equal of our previous favourite and the food quality was just as good. The big difference was the price - at our old favourite what we had this evening would have cost £18.50; at Walker's it was £12.35. That makes our previous favourite 50% dearer than Walkers for the same quality.

I know where I'm going for my next fish and chips!

Highly recommended
