Anchors Fish & Chips

My daughter and I bought in-store. As soon as we walked in, the heavenly smell hit us, and we both proclaimed how good it smelt. The room was clean, tidy, and nicely decorated and we even made reference to the art details that were painted on the wall 👌 I ordered a small cod, it was really cute, and actually ample for me (middle aged woman) as a main, and I reckon it'd be ample for my 14 year old son (who eats loads) too. My daughter chose the sausage which she tells me was "yeah, it was good" (high praise from a teenager 😆). I shared a large chips with my 16 year old, to accompany our mains. Again, it filled the two of us, but it did look a *lot* smaller than I had expected it would be, as there were three sizes to choose from so I would imagine this to be a medium at an average chippy. I had hoped for that price, to have left overs to share with the other kids when we got home, but as it stands, please just don't tell them that we went, and I reckon we can just about get away without them knowing that we'd had it without them 😆 The pots of gravy and mushy peas were tiny. No where near enough to accompany the half a large chips per pot that we had planned on. And at £2.00 a pot I expected much more. I suspect much of the costing went on the very nice thick paper cups, the wooden cutlery wrapped with napkins, and of course a side of healthy profit. The food was amazing! It was hot, crisp, salted to just the right amount, and beautifully flavourful. In fact, all food pics were taken after sampling a couple of mouthfuls because there was no way I was waiting to start so I could take a photo first 😆 Finally let's talk about prices. It's much more than I'd usually be willing to spend in a local chippy, but... It was extra quality along side the extra cost, so I guess it's a case of "getting what you pay for". So would I come back? If I had the money and it was a treat, then, yes I would! And I'd be keen to try the battered halloumi. But it's not something I could frequent as a regular occurrence due to its prices, in this cost of living crisis. Constructive suggestion; a couple of seats in there for the chance to sit while your food is being freshly cooked, would've been ideal and a real blessing to me. Beyond that, great job guys n gals, 4.5⭐ out of 5.
