Rambo’s Canalside Takeaway

Come for the fish and chips, cooked while you wait and served up piping hot right from the fryer. Don’t come for friendly service or decor (none to speak of). On a nice summer evening we took our food to a picnic table alongside the canal, and enjoyed ourselves. Note: for two adults in our 60’s, one order to split was plenty of food.

Not very friendly. Frozen chips, fried to order and the peas curry were taken out the fridge in the pot and put in the microwave for not nearly half as long as it should have been. Almost came out the pot solid. Oversalted everything also. The birds looked to enjoy it more than we did!!

Shocking food ! Shocking service ! Frozen chips not cooked ! Fish batter was soggy and fish tasteless and mushy peas heated in microwave still cold. Would not recommend we went there as we were on a boat ! They must still be in business as to where they are situated. Expensive and food inedible. Ducks ate it though !!

Frozen chips, rude service, don’t waste your money. Called in for lunch, ordered fish chips, and chips curry sauce. Owner proceeded to put frozen chips in fryer and battered fish, put a lidded tub of curry sauce in microwave. Two other ladies were waiting for their orders, and two gentlemen then came in and ordered food. Wanted pizza but owner said curtly that he had no cheese! The gentleman then placed an alternative order and then wished to add onion rings, the owner seemed reluctant to add to the order but did then agree. The owner then told the gentleman to wait outside which I think he did not understand, this request/order was then rudely shouted several times! I have never witnessed such rude aggression! My husband and I were very close to walking out, but our order was just being dished up. Fish chips served in polystyrene tray, and my curry sauce was poured all over my chips! Not what I expected, but tbh I didn’t want confrontation with him! The chips were undercooked and spoiled by all the curry sauce congealing on them. My husbands fish was ok, but quite thin. All in all a complete waste of money as most of it went in the bin. My advice is avoid!

Had fish and chips by the canal yesterday evening. The most beautifully cooked fish I’ve ever had from a chippy! Perfect batter and the fish seems to be steamed inside it. Delicious. It was cooked to order by the gentleman who seems to run this place single-handed. Highly recommended.
