Mermaid Fish and Chips is a true gem for anyone who loves a proper chippy. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with staff who always make you feel at ease. The menu offers classic comfort food with generous portions, all at great value. The star of the show is without a doubt their fish and chips. The batter is light, crispy, and golden, while the fish inside stays tender and full of flavour. The chips are freshly cooked, piping hot, and perfectly seasoned—just how they should be. Paired together, it’s everything you’d want from a traditional fish and chip supper. For hearty portions, friendly service, and unbeatable quality, Mermaid Fish and Chips never disappoints.
Great chippy, order at the takeaway and they serve you in the restaurant next door for an extra £1 , the spicy curry sauce is amazing, staff very nice and welcoming.
I dined in and my oh my is that a jolly good chippy. Decent sized fish in the restaurant and overall splendid time.
Fantastic little chippy..good service, great portions and for under £10 get fish&chips, tea/coffee, bread and a side (curry/beans etc). Nice and relaxed no rush when sat down.
