Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The standout feature of The Galley is undoubtedly its consistently fresh and high-quality fish. Diners rave about the large portions, especially the cod, which comes crispy on the outside and flaky within. Customers also adore the batter on their sausages, particularly the jumbo options, which are a hit with both kids and adults. The curry sauce adds a delightful zing to the meal, making it a must-try alongside chips. The excellent prices, ranging from £1 to £10, make it a fantastic choice for budget-conscious diners. Regular patrons love the friendly atmosphere and often mention the lovely couple who own the restaurant—many taking the time to highlight the warmth of the service they receive.
Most Disliked
Some diners have noted occasional inconsistencies in food quality, and while it can happen at any establishment, a few reviews referenced deeper fry—as in oiliness—especially with certain dishes. This can detract from the otherwise perfect experience. A couple mentioned that some items needed to be better executed to match the high standards usually expected at The Galley. Also, during busy hours, the takeaway service may take slightly longer as the staff strives to maintain quality. Not everyone is a fan of the kids' menu; parents suggest expanding options for more adventurous little eaters. However, such shortcomings are often overshadowed by the restaurant's accolades, showing that many customers still return for more!

Had a medium Cod, Plaice, Large chips and Curry sauce and overall it was great value and did not disappoint. Fish was large and good quality and the chips survived journey home without succumbing to unreasonable levels of soggyness. Looking at the reviews here it seems like they may have had some issues in recent past with consistency of quality control, and while I've only been here once, I'd honestly give them the benefit of the doubt because the food I received was perfectly good. Would recommend, will go again.
