Very friendly staff and they like to have a laugh, great chicken (Only thing I have ordered so far). Very polite and also strict on only 1 person allowed in at a time. (Again very polite about asking) Ended up visiting two days in a row. Good range on menu and very hot and fresh food.

We regularly have our fish and chips from this shop, food is always excellent and very quick to be prepared and cooked. Staff are always friendly and have smiles on their faces even when rushed off their feet! If you can order ahead, I recommend doing so as they can become very busy at peak times! In summary an excellent local fish, chip and extras shop!

Since taking over the local chippy, these guys have done a fantastic job. The fish is excellent and I mean excellent. The batter is lovely and crispy and the fish is nice and flaky. I can't personally comment on the rest of the menu but my family say it's all good.

Usually good food, prices have gone up a bit, have had delivery a couple of times with items missing, not the end of the world but seems a few people have had this from them, nice staff and good food most the time tend to use them when I can as the quality seems to be more constant than some of the other chip shops in the area.

We have found this to be the best chip shop in Thatcham. The chips are cooked perfectly (I don’t like them too crispy) and the curry sauce is lovely. I always have a fish cake and these have always been good. The portions are also really generous for what you pay for them. The staff are cheerful and friendly and they have a good waiting system. It seems clean in there so all in all I would definitely recommend it!
