"I went to Albany Fish bar today with my daughter, the service was appalling! The one guy took my order and his colleague was having an argument/discussion with him about a transaction he had just done and how he didn 't know how to use the contactless machine. I had said my order but my order was not getting any attention, I don 't think he even acknowledged it! So another guy 5 minutes later rudely said what 's your order? I said I 've been served already, he again said yes what is it, I retold my order. The hold up in the shop was being taken out on me, it wasn 't my faulr, but it gets worse! I asked for 2 large fish and chips in takeaway boxes originally, so the guy serving me began wrapping them up, I said I asked for them to be in boxes not wrapped. This is where the four of the workers all started to ganging up on me and told me I hadn 't asked for boxes. I said I did because we always get this, however the guy giving me the most hassle was too busy sorting out his colleagues previous transaction problem!!! Then another guy said these boxes are expensive we can 't just give them out. I said are you serious? I am happy to pay for it. They went on to say yes love next time ask for a box etc etc. By now I said, stuff your food I 'll go elsewhere. I went to The Wellfield, better fish and chips and service was excellent! NOTE TO OWNER; invest in better respectful workers and perhaps get your workers to go on some training in customer service. Maybe they might learn a thing or two about respecting women along the way too! Needless to say I won 't be going there again! The men are patronising, rude and condescending. Off putting before you even get your food is the people that serve you."

"My lady and myself arrived at lunchtime on Friday. We used the left hand entrance to the restaurant. Normally we love a bit of haddock, but we were on a budget that day so we went with one of the specials. Lets say 'special ' was not exactly fair play. We used to use Nikki 's as a fish and chips venue and always found them to be of top quality. This is the first time we sampled the other side of the business. I ordered a Cumberland sausage, with mash, gravy and a Yorkshire pud. My better half ordered a lasagne and chips. Service was wonderful and our server was very attentive, cheery and polite. The atmosphere of the place was good. The crowd was bustling and those who passed us seemed to be pleased with their meals. Looking back, I 'm pretty sure they ordered the fish! The food arrived very quickly and was piping hot. My Cumberland wasn 't bad, but didn 't live up to the price of the plate. It was almost lost in gravy and onions. The mash was good, but again, not really up to the what was charged. My Wife 's lasagne tasted good, but was spongy and dry, having been prepared earlier and microwaved. I was generally OK, if slightly disappointed in my meal, until I bit into the Yorkshire pudding. Oh dear. It was one of those cheap ones you get in bag at Iceland. Not even a large one, but a tiny little one. It wasn 't at all light, fluffy, eggy or even tasting of Yorkshire pudding. It was tough and tasteless like plastic. Awful! My wife finished her meal and past me the remainder of her chips to finish off. The chips were a revelation. They were light and fluffy and had that batter tasted edge to them. They were gorgeous, fresh and perfectly done. With a start, I realised that this was the highlight of both our meals the chips! I don 't think that either of us would dare a visit to the restaurant again after our experience. Lunch for two was just shy of £20, and that was with sticking to the 'specials '. The quality of the food most definitely did NOT live up to the price tag! If you do go, maybe you 'll have better luck with the fish bar menu?"
