Excellent if you're vegan and missing proper fish and chips - they do battered tofish with seaweed base, delicious, forget about craving real fish after this. Great size for the price too. Cypriot salad was also delicious, zingy fresh dressing and good ingredients. You can sit inside or outside and there's nice decor, servers were lovely too and they do good bottled wines and beers as well!

Such a gem of a place! The absolute best tofu I've ever had, not just as a fish replacement - would order it over a piece of fish any day. Lots of care and attention going into the food here by friendly staff - definitely worth a visit!

Best fish and chips locally. Was told its been a family business for 40 years and you can tell the staff care. The fish is bought from Billingsgate market during the week as they try to find the best ingredients and not cut corners with frozen fish. You can tell with the quality. I took it away but there is a nice seating area and they also had a decent selection of alcohol and non alcoholic beverages. Definitely worth visiting for your fish and chip fix and a nice chat too.

YES YES AND YES - the hype is real. Come for the tofu fish and stay for the tofu fish. The layers of the tofu and nori seaweed are incredible. So we went on a chilled Monday night and had an excellent time. Super friendly staff and a lovely vibe. Will be back

Brilliant fish and chips - I get the gluten free and the batter is delicious. The chips aren't too oily and squishy but are never dry. The staff are also really friendly, great bunch.

You can tell this place is just great. Not just the food but the service is brilliant. Wish I got the name of the gentleman behind the counter but he truly is an expert at what he does. I saw him wash his hands several times, no mess in the kitchen at all and was also helpful when ordering - as I don’t eat pork he quickly pointed out what options would be good for me. Outstanding service. I will be back.

Delightful truly british fish and chips. Outstandingly kind owner. Makes hot, crisp fish to order. The size was excellent. Texture was flake and light. Exactly what you expect from both the cod and the haddock. Fresh and not fishy.
