Size of my fish was only positive part. Everything was almost drowning in fat. Onion rings should be renamed oil rings. The strangest thing is that the fries, even though they were dripping with fat, were not fried but undercooked (I found some that were almost raw). I understand that it was quite a busy evening, and that could explain some issues but I probably won't go back there. Update after few times something horrible happened to me and my family.
First time for a long time I had to face cronyism and potentially racism. It hurts when it happens, especially that my whole family was involved. We placed and online order in our favourite chip shop Dolphin. It's not a first time, but definitely last one. When we arrived there was 3 maybe 4 other people. After us another large batch of customers arrived. How surprised I was that everyone was served before us. I'm a professional chef and I know how restaurants and bars work out orders. Yes You can serve some small order first, but not everyone else 🤬. Just because we were not born here we classify as people second category ? Of course friends of lady who run it were served first ... they are more important than we are, than all other and we were left to be served as last after 25 minutes of waiting !!!! Orders are timed but it didn't matter and I just seen my slip was placed last. Well dear Dolphin Dungannon if my money isn't hood enough I'll happily spend it somewhere else. But it's not that hurts the most. It's a fact that just based on someone orgin someone decide that one is more important than others. It's a dark day for me as I always said the most beautiful thing about Northern Ireland is fact that people are so nice. #Racism #Cronyism #BadService...
Read moreTook a drive to dungannon to try this fish and chip place after hearing about all the awards that it had received over the lsst few years. We ordered 2 cod suppers with peas extra. Not the cheapest ive had but i dont mind paying extra if its going to be good.The premises looked very clean and the menu was well presented on lcd screens. As our drive home was over 20 miles we ate in the car. The food itself was just ok . I found the batter on the fish albeit crispy was very fatty and i constantly had to wipe the fat off my hands and the chips where just ok and the least i would expect of a shop with this reputation and pricing! The thing that ruined it totally for me was that i asked for salt and no vinger but there was so much salt on the fish i couldnt eat it. I sure this place has better days just...
Read moreThe burger and fish were lovely but the chips were undercooked. Considering I had ordered via the app and then still had to wait an extra 50minutes past my pick up time for my food...well it just wasn't good enough. The app ordering is meant to give you live Updates of your order progress but it doesn't work so you still have to stand outside the store and listen for your order to be called out over speakers. The kids meal option includes a hard lollipop which is an unsafe choice to give as a standard addition to a kids meal. Considering the higher prices compared to other chip shops near by, the hype of expectation from all the awards and then the let down of the wait and poor chips...well, I was disappointed on the whole and won't be back for...
