I recently took my kids to John Dory's Fish and Chips shop for a mid-week meal, and it was a delightful experience. The food was incredibly fresh, and it felt like a step above your regular chippy. The fish was perfectly battered and flaky, while the chips were golden and crispy, just the way they should be.
What really stood out was the dining experience. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, making it a great spot for families. The staff was friendly, and the service was efficient. They made dining in with kids a breeze.
John Dory's strikes a wonderful balance between the traditional charm of a fish and chips shop and a slightly more upscale dining experience. It's the ideal place for a mid-week family meal when you want something a bit special. We'll definitely be returning for more delicious fish and chips soon.

The reviews don't lie; this is the best fish and chips I've ever had, bar none. The batter is light and super crispy, not greasy, prawns and onion rings were delicious too. British cuisine at its finest - a whole table of deep fried beige food.
Seriously though, the cod was lovely, a chunky bit of fish cooked to perfection and dining in we had salt and vinegar on the table to drown our meal in at our discretion. Turns out chip shops use a lot more than you think because I just kept adding and adding it ha.
This was enough between two and the menu has a lot of options, including various fritters and fish cakes. There are sweets too but we are not brave enough for a battered cookie dough!
Parking was tough on a Saturday night but be patient and something will show up!

Simply put…. The best fish and chips your ever going to experience. I travel extensively and have tried fish and chips in many UK location but still always come back to John Dory’s knowing they are a dependable best. The menu is always expanding with inventive but complimentary items to please any palette.

Has Haddock and chips with mushy peas. Batter was crispy and not oily. Dined in but they also do a takeaway option. Staff were very freindly. Was nice to be able to have a beer as they have an alcohol licence.

Food very good but restaurant not as it was. Why do you have to eat your food out of boxes? No table service. This is just a room with tables now. Very disappointed
Will not venture again

Decent fish and chips. I had Hake which was a special and it was beautifully cooked. Chips I’ve had better.
Thought it was slightly on the high side of costs - £11 for fish n chips. However, that’s only because you compare it to your local chippy and not to any other restaurant.
Most things in the specials had sold Out. Would be good to see more seafood options.
