Best chippy in Bristol! Without a doubt. Excellent value for money, more than generous portions. Had smaller bits of fished served to me as a large else where. Delicious batter and lovely chips. Very popular shop so can be quite busy at times, friendly and warm staff. 1000% recommend!

I started ordering online and was impressed with the high quality fish and chips (preparation and ingredients). Then I visited in person and like it even more. Big portions, friendly service, clean environment. Best overall out of the 12 or so I've tried in Bristol.
