Most Disliked
Some customers have noted that the small containers for chips and peas can feel a bit cramped. Occasionally, certain items may not come as expected, as experienced with missing dips for appetizers like calamari. The pricing, while generally considered reasonable for portion size, can escalate if you opt for larger meals, leading some to suggest choosing smaller options for a lighter meal. The Friday rush can result in longer wait times, so visiting during peak hours may not provide the fastest service. It’s a common tradeoff for popular eateries, and planning around busy times can enhance the experience.

Clean fish and chip shop with a sit down restaurant and takeaway area. Ordered for takeaway. Staff were friendly, professional and polite. Onion rings were freshly made and deliciously crispy. The small chips and mushy peas were a bit squashed in the small container. Food was tasty.

I love getting food from here when I visit hollingworth lake. Today I ordered breaded calamari rings to start which I thought came with a dip.....it wasn't with my order. I also ordered large haddock, chips, peas and gravy to take out. The haddock was absolutely humongous, so I ate some and took the rest home. I paid £22.05 for my food and it was worth every penny. Next time, i will buy a smaller haddock

Hands down the best fish and chips in Rochdale. And one of the best I’ve ever had. Big fish, large portion of chips. They do a very nice homemade tartar sauce.

Hands down possibly the best "fish and chips" i've had in my life. The fried cod was super crispy outside and flaky and moist inside. The mushy peas were also delicious. For dessert I had Sticky Toffee pudding which was also very good. What furthermore stands out, that there are discounts for senior citizens, and the fish is directly sourced from a sustainable fishery
