Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Many customers rave about the extra large cod, a standout dish that delivers great value for money. The flavor of the crispy batter is often praised as one of the best in the area. The homemade patties, including corned beef and cheese, also receive high marks for freshness and taste. People love the option of generous curry sauce and mushy peas that elevate the classic fish and chips experience.
Additionally, positive mentions often highlight the friendly staff who foster a welcoming atmosphere. The casual ambiance makes it an ideal spot for a quick lunch or a hearty dinner, especially after a day of exploring Sunderland.
Most Disliked
Even with many positives, some feedback mentions the need for better cleanliness, particularly concerning the windows, which could be a little more polished. Others suggest that the lighting inside could be adjusted to create a cozier setting. The wait times on busy evenings, especially Fridays, can be lengthy, which might deter some from venturing here during peak hours.
Moreover, while the pricing is generally reasonable, a few customers feel that certain items could be slightly elevated in quality to better match their expectations, especially given the hype surrounding the location.

Always go here for my fish and chips. I couldn't recommend it any higher to be honest. Food always fresh and they do an extra large cod which i got this time. Extra large cod, chips, batter, peas, curry sauce, pineapple ring and bread bun. Come to about £16, well worth it the fish was massive. Highly recommend anyone to go here, its always busy and thats a sign of a good chippy.
