This is our regular Chinese chippy takeaway. Pretty standard menu, although has a few reasonable Thai-style dishes which is a good twist. Quick friendly service and always seem to be busy. They do deliver but we always go and collect as it's quicker.

Rapidly becoming my favourite chippy in the area. Every meal we have tried has been wonderful, vegetarian chow mein and egg foo yung particularly enjoyed. For me it's the Fish and chips . It's a simple dish but here it's the quality of the fish and the standard of cooking which makes it outstanding. Give this place a visit you won't be disappointed .

Great Food, Disappointing Chips (4/5 Stars) ​The main courses here are genuinely good, earning the place a solid 4 stars. I've been happy with the dishes I've ordered. However, the experience is consistently let down by the chips. Every single time, they arrive undercooked. They lack that necessary golden-brown colour and crispness most people like when it comes to chips. If the kitchen could address this one persistent issue, this would undoubtedly be a five-star establishment in my opinion.
