“ We are here in Bristol for a 3 night break from Bournemouth and thought we’d give this restaurant a try tonight. Both my husband and I had cod n chips and were very pleased. We ate in. The food was cooked to order, was lovely and hot, of a good quality and well presented. The staff were all lovely and friendly and the owner came over and chatted with us after our meal, a very nice man. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back when we are next in Bristol . Excellent!! ”
“ Great fish and chips. Made fresh and very tasty. ”
“ Great little chippy, run by a very decent pair of guys. The food is always good, with fish always freshly cooked and chips always crisp. Very fair prices too, especially these days. ”
“ The restaurant was right in the alley but it was quite a surprise for us. The shop was quite small and to be honest quite aged - like a restaurant that you see in a 60’ movie. However, the fish and chip was hot and yummy. The staff was nice and the vibe was really good - the seats were a bit cramped but comfortable enough for a small and quick lunch. The only complaint was some of the sauce packs were broken so you might have had chances to have touch some sauce packs with leaks. ”
“ I love fish and chips, and it is something I will try first wherever I go. I’m very happy that this place is in Bristol, where I live. I think this is the best chippy on this country, out of hundreds I’ve tried. The owners and waitress are very friendly, I hear from my friends for the same as well. The price isn’t bad, and fish is never soggy here. One note I wish to leave, is that they don’t open on Sundays and Mondays. This place is just so good that I would wish it to open everyday. I don’t leave that much rating, but for this chippy I will need to give five, or if possible six. I genuinely wish the owners and all the workers there to have prosperous business. The world need to know more about this fantastic place. ”
“ Lovely family business that's been running for 57 years. Authentic vintage sitting area, the owner/head chef was a lovely man that looked after our order. It was freshly caught fish and made by order. Definitely to go to if you are looking for the best fish and chips at Bristol ”
“ Battered sausage and chips were excellent. Curry sauce spot on. Staff helpful and friendly. Even the price was reasonable for a city centre location. Proper old school chippy. Interesting decor too, if you like musical theatre (personally it makes me want to die) they have wallpapered the place with posters from the genre. ”
“ The best chips in Bristol. Great prices. I don't eat fish so I usually have the battered sausage and it's lush and so huge it hangs over the plate! Delicious. Curry sauce is a good un too Lovely place, lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. Went to a birthday gathering, and another time for tea. It's also BYOB. Looking forward to my next visit. ”
