  Fish soggy and small considering it was £15 for a large! Chips were rubbery. Not worth the money.

  Overall, slightly above average for around these parts, but still the the culinary equivalent of a shrug, and also note the prices have just gone up too for most items, in the region of 10% ish, not a lot, no, but then some of it was already over-priced trash before the price increase. Make sure you use the App, it’s the difference between disappointment and acceptable as you will have had to pay less for it. The Fry Awards, clearly not to be trusted, as anyone who has ever been to an actual good chip shop will know this place winning an award is… well… imaginative. Yeah... Still, some good deals, some stuff ok, some aggressively average, some truly naff, and a few items so vile they should probably come with a counselling helpline number. The Fish, is the star of the show. Usually pretty good, occasionally very good, sometimes overdone, sometimes soggy, but rarely a disaster. It’s one thing you can order without needing emotional support. 8/10. Roasted/Rotisserie Chicken, when it’s fresh out of the oven it is fab, the kind of chicken that makes you briefly believe life is going well. When it’s been sitting around too long, it becomes a chewy relic from a bygone era. Go on deal days and you’ll be happy. 7/10. Scampi, hard to mess up, and they don’t, usually, so generally decent enough, occasionally overdone, always overpriced. The Switzerland of the menu: neutral, safe, fine but pricey. 6/10. Fried Chicken, perfectly ok. Not great, not tragic. The SFC is decent enough and worth grabbing on deal days if you like this kind of thing, otherwise you’ll feel mildly robbed. Other places do it better, but this one tries and remember, if you have the app you will get bonus points on any purchases (not just chicken) and offers too, so not a total loss if you decide having a go is on your agenda and it turns out miserable. 6/10. Pies, the usual local pie tragedy: sweaty bottom, hard lid, existential sadness. EB does not excel here so no surprises the pies here are as rough as everywhere else in EB. Only order if you enjoy disappointment as a hobby or they are on offer and you have a keg of gravy on hand. 2.5/10. Sides , Taste-wise? Fine. Value-wise? A true crime. Depending on who serves you, you’ll either get a pot filled generously to the brim (joy!) or one that’s a third empty (umbrage!). Considering the price of the peas and curry sauce, this variance is unforgivable. Criminally overpriced. 3/10. Sausages, these should be foolproof. They are not, apparently, and are basically overpriced rubbery nonsense, quite possibly supplied by Dunlop. The battered ones are soggy and the saveloys are weird enough to raise philosophical questions, and considering these are literally dirt cheap, low-grade sausages, the price is an insult and the end result a step away from hideous. 2/10. Chips, Ah yes, the chips, which turns out to be one of the culinary downfalls of the entire establishment. Despite the menu’s bold claims of “Award-winning, crispy golden chips.”, what you actually get is a lucky dip of thin, unevenly coloured, dried-up shards with chewy skins which are clearly not fresh, they call it 'variance'. I call it an imbalance of profit over quality and the fact they push these vile things out is a crime against the spud and the customer. Portions vary a bit too much too, small boxes get overstuffed as a pretend large chips, and crushed as they try to force the lid down, and 75% of the time, for me, after picking out any that actually resemble chips, most of them go straight in the bin because they are literally trash, though to be fair, you may occasionally get a decent effort on the chip front, dependant on time of day and who is frying, just dont bank on it, even the exorbitant mushy peas or curry sauce cannot resurrect them in their usual form, a true misadventure in chips. 1/10. Staff, some absolute gems here, friendly, chatty, genuinely lovely people who brighten your day. A couple of good friers too. And then… there are the others. Overall though, the good ones carry the team. 7/10.

  Cod was very dry. Ordered a medium, but it was quite small. Chips were cooked okay, but the potatoes used were inferior. Second time I’ve used this chippy, unlikely to use it again.
