Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the freshness of the fish, which is cooked to order, ensuring a delightful dining experience every time. The friendly approach of the staff is another highlight; many reviews mention the welcoming smiles and warm service.

The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed dinner after a busy day.
Most Disliked
Some diners feel that the prices are slightly higher for traditional fish and chips, leading to mixed feelings about value for money. Occasionally, there are minor complaints about a wait time during busy evenings, even though the freshness of the food often justifies the brief delay. A few customers have mentioned inconsistency with side orders, which can occasionally miss the mark in terms of flavor or texture. While the restaurant is generally considered a good option for takeaway, some would prefer more variety in terms of traditional accompaniments or specials.

I love this chippy. The fish is always cooked fresh as you order. Chips are good to. Not sure why people complain. The food is great. Doesn't taste oily to.

Always use this fish and chip shop rather than the one in Welwyn or Knebworth. Always get a great takeaway, fish is cooked to order but that’s no bad thing. Yes it seems pricey for fish and chips but think that’s the going rate to be fair.

I was staying in the area for 6 months and I have been regularly visited Ocean star almost every week. I really like how the way they made the fish(fresh and crispy and moist) It has never been disappointed. If I come back to the area again, I will definitely come back to see you guys again, I would recommended to anyone.
