She had a very friendly disposition and nothing was too much trouble. It was nice to see a young lady with good customer service skills. It’s a rare thing to find in this day and age. Would recommend and visit again!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic – Betty Made Our Day! We had the most amazing experience at Seaside Fish and Chips! The food was fresh, crispy, and full of flavor — easily some of the best fish and chips we’ve ever had. But what really made our visit unforgettable was Betty. She welcomed us like old friends, full of warmth and charm, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. The food is incredible — but meeting Betty is the real treat. Thank you, Betty, for making our visit so special!"

"Had a lovely visit to Seaside Fish and Chips! The chippy and battered sausage were absolutely delicious fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Olivia. She was so welcoming and friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I wanted. Such a kind and thoughtful person her service really made my day. Thank you, Olivia!"

She made us feel very welcome, nothing was to much trouble for her! Making sure we had everything we needed! Really nice to see such a young girl with a great attitude to working!"

"Stopped by for dinner on a Friday night and at this restaurant. Unsure why it was so quiet at just after 6.15pm. Everything was freshly fried and a meal for two with drinks, was just £18. You order at the entrance and your order number is called from the hatch. My accomplice had scampi and I had fishcake, both served with chips. There's condiments on the table but sauces are charged at 50p. There's no cutlery and I had to ask. Wooden utensils were provided in a sealed paper packet. There is an arcade in the premises as per the video, worth keeping in mind if you don't like constant noise."
