Classic British chippy delivering fresh, crispy fish and generous chips at budget prices; mostly excellent with occasional soggy-off peak complaints.
Silver Grill delivers solid neighborhood chippy standards through excellent food quality with fresh, cooked-to-order fish and attentive counter service that accommodates special requests. Outstanding value for money and a loyal regular following reinforce its standing as a respected local favorite. The grade reflects strong execution within its casual category, though occasional quality variation in late-day service and limited seating comfort prevent higher distinction.
On a little lane by the river end of town, Silver Grill feels like a proper British chippy where the fryer hums and orders move fast. Reviewers talk about big, golden fillets and shareable chips, with one noting the team was friendly and unflappable even while cooking to order. Outdoor tables catch the sun and there is a steady flow of locals and visitors from the nearby hotel and quay. In the fryer, the approach is classic rather than flashy: crispy batter, flaky fish, simple sauces, and those house fishcakes that regulars swear by. It is comfort-first food with options to go lighter on batter or even skip it, and prices punch well below many seaside spots. A few diners warn that later-in-the-day batches can lean soft, so aim for fresh-cooked when you can. Families are well covered: a kids menu with nuggets and sausages, gentle sides like beans or curry sauce, and portions large enough to split. Picky eaters will find straightforward choices, while seafood fans can branch to plaice or scampi. Bring napkins, claim an outside table if the weather plays nice, and you are set.
