"Food was cooked fresh, we had cod n chips, scampi n chips and a kids sausage n chips as well as a couple of extra sausages. It was a good size portion and all very tasty, not greasy at all and the fish was lovely. The only downside was the cost, just over £30 which we felt was about a fiver too much for fish n chips, but then everything is expensive these days! Worth a visit."

"Food was very nice up there with some of the best chips we have had. No seating inside, but there are benches outside. Had a little wait for the food, was cooked fresh. Found it a bit on the pricey side, but it's expected as it's a tourist area. Portion sizes on the small side so you do feel like you haven't really got your money's worth."

"No complaints on the food nor the service. It wasn’t overly extravagant but then again it is a chippy in Hemsby. The prices were okay and the fact that each order was fulfilled before taking another one was a bonus. The only downside to this place was the outside benches, they were filthy."
