Absolutely delicious fish and chips from Nick’s Plaice! Friendly service and proper traditional chips — crispy, fluffy, and full of flavour. Highly recommend if you want a top-notch chippy!

I've just been here for the first time. All I got was a portion of cheesy chips, but they were great. Chips nicely thick cut with a crisp to them and really hot, with plenty of cheese put on the top. Came in a good quality box and very good portion size. The rest of the food I saw also looked great and it was very busy, so that says it all. 5 stars from me. 👍🏻
⭐️ The best chippy in town. The lady serving is a fantastic asset to the business. She is very polite. Very welcoming. And always has a smile on her face!!! The food is just outstanding! The fish and chips are freshly cooked to order. Absolutely class!!!
