Lovely fish & chips! Do gluten free options on Tuesday and Wednesdays and really clued up about cross contamination etc. Can't fault them - well worth a visit!

Popped in on a Tuesday with my littles. Friendly service from everyone, children were given their drinks straight away and having meal deals made it cost effective for massive portions that will do us the day. Thanks Als Plaice 🙂

It was lovely and warm in Al’s Plaice and so although we had our order taken as we walked through the door, we were pleased that some of what we wanted needed to be freshly cooked. As ever, the fat and flakey fish was wrapped...in a delicious crispy batter, and the mountainous box of chips contained really tasty, light brown beauties. It was an 11 minute drive home once we were back to the car, and with finding plates and cutlery, popping the kettle on etc, we ate some 20 minutes after we left the shop. Al’s Plaice fish and chips were still hot: the batter crisp and the chips superb. Thank you 😊More

We went on the Gluten free nights of Tues and Wed. Al was very friendly and explained all about the Gluten Free frier and separate area and it was clear they knew all about cross contamination. All in separate bags too. The app can be...downloaded and was very clear and self explanatory so with 3 of our party of 7 that are coeliac we were all extremely impressed with the portion sizes and quality. All in all 10 out if 10.More

We telephoned in a very large take away order for 8 adults all wanting different items from the extensive menu. Despite this, when we arrived at the time estimated, all the food was ready for collection and very hot. The staff were also very accomodating...and jolly.
