Might just be the best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. Lovely fresh cod, no skin on the fish. Very fresh and tasty. My new favourite for sure.

Golden fry is always consistent.
Too many places you order and you wonder will it be a good one or bad one this time.
But Golden Fry always keeps the same quality/standards. The rare time there was a mistake in order, they always come straight back with a replacement. Great customer service. And consistently good food!

No show one hour after the order was supposed to be delivered and showed as delivered.
Rang. Guy hadn’t a clue what was going on.
Said on the way !!!
Still no show. Picked cash on delivery as it’s not the first time but will be the last so no cost.
Had to order elsewhere.
Choose cash as payment then if no show, no payment.
