What People Are Saying
from Google"This brunch place offers a relaxing environment and delicious food that’s not overly seasoned."
"Got takeout, the fish made me wish I was able to eat it there. Good flavor and the batter looked great but I think that extra 15 minutes in the car softened it a little but it was very good. I might be wrong but I think the chips were just freezer section chips but they seasoned them well. Scotch egg was good but another item I wish I could’ve eaten there. My wife got the I forget the name but it was like a chicken pot pie, she enjoyed it and said she’d get it again. The staff was friendly, seemed happy to feed you. I will have to stop back and grab a donut. Simple looking place on the inside, just a little takeout spot. Would love to see them be able to find a way to get some tables. Overall I would say it was more of a 4.8/5 and would definitely recommend trying this place."
"They have amazing Donuts here made in house according to the cashier. Definitely the best Donuts in the area by far!!! The lady is very kind at the register!! Check them out for sure!."
"The Pub Chip Shop is great! Their fish, chicken, and fries are so tasty! The chicken is also halal. They do use a beer batter for the fried fish but were able to make a fried fish without the beer for us which was super accommodating! I totally recommend this place!"
"***update Nov2023 (8 months since last post) The food quality has gone steeply downhill🫤🫤🫤, hence a downgrade from 4 to 2 stars. As in my original post, THIS IS NOT A PUB. THERE IS NOTHING BRITISH ABOUT THIS PLACE. Pub implies beer, which is not served here. Fish and chips, and meat pies in the menu DO NOT MAKE THIS PLACE BRITISH. Whether British or American, this place is NEITHER a bar NOR a pub, NOT EVEN a cafe as is described in Maps. There’s hardly any place to sit and eat (only 6 seats available!) In our most recent visit and 3 other occasions before, the FISH BATTER IS OVERCOOKED, though still edible. The beer flavor is not as prominent as before 😡😡😡. The FRIES, yes French fries NOT CHIPS BY BRITISH STANDARD, ARE VERY BLAND TASTELESS. British chips are rough thicker cuts of potatoes, not the factory perfect slender cuts, and are pre-seasoned before frying. The SCOTCH EGG IS OVERCOOKED as is evident by the very dark rim of the yolk that is dry hard. Real Scotch Eggs has a soft yolk. 🥵🥵🥵My Brit companions wept. Meat pies, which were distinctive and attracted us to this place originally, seems to be very scarcely available. In the last visit, it very peculiar that they “have only one pie available” at opening time!!! Really??? —- that was the same excuse as the 3 earlier visits. The place seems more of a donut specialist now (Nov 2023). Of course donuts, again, are NOT BRITISH. So, is this a Donut Store or a Fish/Chips store. —— Lots of potential to be great take away store; BUT this is absolutely NOT a pub, and certainly NOT a British cafe. It’s principally an order counter with a 3-seat eating bench at the front of the store. Donuts (aka doughnuts in GB) are never a pub grub. A British cafe implies a variety of baked items: from biscuits (cookies in America) to scones, tea cakes, pastries, puddings, mince pies and meat pies. Breakfast sandwiches do NOT exist in the GB gustatory world. What this joint does very well are: 1) Fish and Chips, very flavorful well-seasoned fish and beer batter, and the chips (french fries in America) 😎😎😎 BUT please discard the tartar sauce, which is not Brit and dampens the flavor. Ask for malt vinegar. 2.Scotch egg is good: crispy exterior and cooked egg center. However, the egg core should have been soft, the yolk flowing instead of hard boiled. 3. Meat pies are the stars here🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Thick meat filling, well cooked pastry coat. Anyone of them is great, but I am most partial to the Chicken Tikka pie, a Brit’s take on a classic Indian chicken curry dish tucked inside a flaky pastry crust. Then there’s the Mushy Peas, BUT it is a tad sweet and so very green, indicating use of horrible sweet peas variety and an artificial food coloring. Authentic Brit mushy peas has an earthy and hearty flavor with a grayish dull green (to brown) color consistent with natural real English peas. The staff are very amiable."
