The Gourmet Fish and Chip Company

I have just been to the Gourmet Fish and Chip Company and wished i hadn't bothered. Our order consisted of Cod and chips, Haddock and chips, one bread basket and 2 bottles of sparkling water.

When the meal arrived i was astounded. The 2 pieces of fish were so thin it was just like eating pure batter, the chips were FROZEN prepacked things which could have been bought from any supermarket and they could not even be bothered to serve me with the bread basket. Having struggled through the fish my partner and i couldn't eat the CHIPS they were awful. Having complained to a Man who i assume was the manager he just appologised for not sending the bread order and then charge me £15-90 for 2 awful pieces of fish and 2 inedible portions of chips. I do hope that if you take the time to read this review that you will save yourselves a lot of dissapointment and money and use a PROPER fish and chip shop. There was no offer of a refund for the inedible chips just a statement of well you are in a minority of our customers as most of them like our chips. ps the bottled water was ok. pps he did try and charge me for the undelivered bread basket

This restaurant has certainly changed hands and we were left totally disappointed not to mention hungry.

We opted for haddock and chips and I had to leave the majority on my plate. The batter was hard and tasted acrid like the fat needed changing, the haddock was tough at the ends from over frying and the chips were a very poor aunt bessies on a bad day. The most laughable thing was charging us 95p for a tablespoon of peas presented in a white dish complete with it's own microwaved water at the bottom.

One word to sum up the whole experience from the sauces to the drinks was CHEAP, the bill however was not and came to £22.35.

This restaurant has recently changed hands but the service is just as welcoming as it always used to be. We both opted for no nonsense haddock with chips and mushy peas and weren't disappointed. The fish was fresh, and the chips were lovely - proper fat chips, just as they should be! Very good value for money. Nothing fancy but basic good old fish n chips. Recommended.

should've gone to my local chippy as it would've been less expensive and tastier
