What Mtw3 doesn't like about Ancell's:
We thought this was the best place for miles. Still love the chips, but the cod....hmm. The past two times been disappointed with it. Batter was thin and soggy with oil and you may as well order a small cod as the large is marginally bigger. If this is a large, then what's a small? The lemon is small in this photo. I think we will start looking at other places even if further away. View all feedback. What John Alhelm likes about Ancell's:
First time here.Fabulous fish and chips, went on Friday lunch and they were really busy so had to wait 10-15 minutes. This was purely through amount of orders as staff worked so hard and were really efficient. It was well worth the wait and will now always use this fish shop. View all feedback.

Haven't visited for a while and the food used to be good. Today the batter on our fish all stuck to the paper and the chips were broken and mushy.

Really bad, they ended up in the bin. Has it changed hands as the chips taste horrible, had a chemical flavour.

Always have freshly cooked food from here. It’s piping hot and just delicious. The best chip shop by far

Regulars appreciate the friendly service and the option to call ahead, making Fridays a hassle-free delight. With a commitment to freshness and taste, Ancells has become a must-visit destination for fish and chip enthusiasts.
