Mr Chips

Had fish and chips here once. Never again!!! Worst dried up piece of fish I’d ever had the misfortune of trying.
Don’t bother! Kingstanding fish bar close by is the best bet!

I have never taken the time out before to write a review, however after the frankly shocking experience myself and a friend had yesterday, I felt this needed to be shared so people can avoid this place like the plague. I ordered a large kebab meat and chips and a piece of cod, i noticed the server had practically bitten her nails off and stunk of cigarettes all the staff looked grubby with stains and marks on their clothes and were lacking ordinary quickness, when i got home i realised that they had only give me a small kebab meat so i phoned to explain the problem, i was passed to 3 different people who were all rude and unwilling to help or apologise in anyway whatsoever, it was only an incorrect portion size but the staff acted as though they were being accused of a deliberate act and were over defensive. They have zero people skills and absolutely no idea what the term ‘Customer service’ means. To top it off, when i arrived home with the food the bag was actually leaking oil, this had seeped through a polystyrene tray, several layers of paper and pooled in the bottom of the carrier. I told the children where the food was from & they refused to eat it as they get off the bus from school near the shop and have seen rats run up the drainpipe and across the shop sign on a couple of occasions. I opened the paper that the fish was wrapped in which was also soaked through with grease, i broke the fish, that was supposed to be cod & it resembled a fish that had died & been floating around the sea before it had been caught, it was more like jelly than fish, it definitely was not cod. Needless to say the food was binned.

With a fast food range delving beyond your average fish, chips, pies and kebab meat into breakfasts and curries, this diverse local takeaway is a great place to stop by if ever you fancy a warm snack. A handful of off-​road parking spaces are available outside the building for customer convenience (which is convenient, considering Mr Chips is located adjacent to a busy roundabout!) and there are a few tables inside for those who simply can’t resist eating their food the second it’s handed to them.
A cone of chips costs just £1 and there are plenty of great offers advertised in the window and behind the counter. The layout inside is a little haphazard and Mr Chips isn’t exactly the cleanest eatery in the world, but the food is tasty, the prices are excellent and the staff’s turnaround is top-​notch.
