“ I was asked to look for another nearby chippy by my mother in law, as her local is being renovated, and I think she was getting a bit fed up of supermarket bought fish and fish fingers for her ‘Fish & Chips’ Friday. So I popped into Colin’s and was warmly greeted and within 5 mins I was walking out with my telephone order; it was ready spot on time that I asked it to be ready. My mother in law was nicely impressed with her cod and chips, and there was ample cod bites to share with my wife, and the large chips went around all three of us. The fish was moist and succulent, the batter was golden and crisp. The chips were just right, soft on the inside and a crunch on the outside. Thank you for a great ‘Fish & Chip’ Friday! ”

We decided to take a drive and stumbled across you guys, the service was fantastic and the food, cod and chips was amazing, freshly cooked.
