“ Great fish and chips really hich were both really tasty. The fish was freshly cooked while we waited which is the best way. The fish was also a good size batter was light and fresh. The chips were widely cooked too. This was my first visit to this Fish and Chip shop and when in the area again I will be visiting for sure. I highly recommend the fish and chips for sure. Better value than some other local competitors the food here has quality to match all. ”

“ Me and 3 friends came here Friday evening 22nd August and the staff were very friendly. The food was incredible and the large fish was bigger than the box, very good value for money. I will definitely return when I'm in the area again. ”

“ Ordered for delivery last night. - good quality food - really cheap cost wise (we had large cheesy chips, regular cheesy chips, C&M pie, Jumbo sausage) + delivery for under £20) - lots of cheese is given unlike most takeaways! Happy to order from here again. ”

“ The best fish and chips! Consistently excellent every time and I've been a regular customer for around six years. I've recommended The Usual Plaice to many friends over the years and they are in total agreement with me. I always buy takeaways, but one of my friends who is elderly and no longer drives, really appreciates the friendly and very reasonable delivery service. ”
