"Another fish and chip shop and another review from me. As per my other reviews I love a good fish and chip meal. First impressions on entering the shop were really good. Lovely clean counter and cooking area. Couple that with two lovely ladies cooking and serving. Ordered two large cod and chips. I was shown the fish prior to frying and they were huge. I was asked if I wanted chips with both or one portion to share. I did opt for two portions and they were good sized. Fish was absolutely superb. Light crispy batter and great chips. An absolute credit to the Great British Fish and Chips. I have no hesitation in recommending this great establishment. If travelling north or south on the M1 it’s worth making the short detour to sample this great food."

"Just had it today . Fish chips curry sauce . Price just over £10 . Fish , big , batter crispy and plenty of meat under the batter . Curry sauce nice taste and look to it , might try the gravy next time . Now the chips ... they look great but luke warm . Still ate them but had to wolf them down before they got any cooler . I would go again but would wait for fresh chips to be done ."
