Visited recently and the staff were very accommodating. They were also very friendly professional and welcoming. Felt like they went the extra mile compared with other fish and chip shops. Thanks for caring about who you serve🥰🥰🥰
Had some beautiful food from this chippy. Not been for a while and have to say this visit was not good. Food was cold. Kebab meat was pale and not cooked properly. Fish freshly cooked but batter soggy and undercooked. Staff always lovely but food was terrible. Most of it sadly went in the bin. So sorry to leave a bad review but really not good enough 😢
Very average Chippy. There is nothing stand out but definitely nothing wrong with it. Battered sausage was really nice and the gravy was a stand out item. The rest was very very average. For the price its good, portion size is smaller than average but still more than reasonable. Nothing to shout about but if you want a chippy thats not bad, this fits the bill. Service was amazing in store which was a massive plus and is the main reason i would return.
Moved to Maltby recently and this is the first fish and chips tried. I have family members visiting who are gluten free so picked this one. Lovely fish and chips all round, and lovely service too, friendly, welcoming, speedy, price competitive. Even though I personally don't have dietary needs, I'll order from here going forward in preference to others without the GF options because I appreciate the effort taken.
Here's an excellent review for the Blue Whale chip shop: The Blue Whale: More Than Just Fish and Chips I recently visited the Blue Whale chip shop and was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service I received. Not only did they serve up delicious, crispy fish and chips, but they also went the extra mile to ensure my furry friend was comfortable. As a visitor to the area, I wasn't familiar with the local water sources for my dog. The staff at the Blue Whale, noticing my concern, kindly offered a bottle of water for my thirsty pup. This small gesture of kindness made a big difference and truly highlighted their commitment to customer satisfaction. The food was fantastic, as expected, but it was the unexpected thoughtfulness that made my experience at the Blue Whale truly memorable. I highly recommend this chip shop to anyone visiting the area, whether you're a local or a tourist.
