Reviews

I order a portion of chips and a portion of scampi they were perfectly cooked not one bit greasy or dry the only thing I didn't like was very little salt on chips and a bit too much on scampi but other then that they were perfect the staff were great for me because I am in a wheelchair I couldn't obviously get into the store so they came out to me which I found great not many people would do that

Probably the best chipper in Drogheda. Class chips and the best Chicken fillet burger ever. Ask for it with Taco sauce. Delish. Plus they have free delivery and an App.

I popped in to this place again after hols in Lanzarote. We ordered 2 x fresh cod fillet some tartar sauce and chips with a spice burger and a sausage for desert. The fish was amazing, the chips were very fresh, the homemade tartar sauce was class. The spice burger and sausage were fab. Every time I come into this place its superb. Hatton's in Puerto Del Carmen was fab for fish and chips this place is up there. All I can say is awesome. Highly recommended take away. 15/10.

Great chipper. One of the best chippers in drogheda. Definitely gets bonus points for having good opening hours and being reasonably priced. The milkshakes are unreal also.

First class fresh fish and chips. The staff are very friendly and efficient. They took great care to deal with my daughter's vegetarian order in a separate area by a separate member of staff. Her food has also always been first class.

The food is absolutely delicious especially the chips. It's a bit of a wait as everything is freshly cooked but so worth it. One of the best apps I've seen for ordering too.
