"Hearing about a traditional fish and chip shop in Prestwich, complete with a restaurant and bar, and cooking in beef-dripping with the option for vegetable oil (call to confirm vegetable oil availability), I was compelled to check it out. Upon entering the shop, I found myself in the bar area, with access to the restaurant located upstairs. The bar was furnished with tables, chairs, and stools for those wishing to enjoy a drink or avoid the stairs. It is encouraging to see young people engaged in the fish and chip shop trade, potentially leading to more traditional establishments in the future. The cod, although slightly smaller than expected, was delicious and cooked to perfection. The chips were among the best I’ve had in a long time. The pea fritters, black pudding fritters, and tartare sauce were also excellent. In-house pies were available as well, so I sampled the cheese and onion and meat and potato varieties and can recommend both. There is parking available across the street and on-street. However, the opening hours might not suit those looking for a lunchtime meal, as at the time of this review, the hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and closed on Sunday and Monday.

"HIDDEN GEM! We happened to stumble by the restaurant whilst waiting for our train. There was a lunch time menu displayed outside so we thought we'd give it a go and we were not disappointed! The interior was very warm and welcoming, there were lovely features on the walls. We were seated on the quieter side of the restaurant so we had room for our little girls pram. The gent who waited on us was very friendly and I loved that he was speaking Italian from time to time. We got food from the lunch time menu offer. I always get minestrone soup when I go to Italian restaurants so I was over the moon when they had it as an option. I would say it is the best minestrone I have had at any restaurant and I've been to quite a lot all over the world. Our food was beautiful, well presented and there was plenty of it. We didn't realise when we came in it was close to closing time and the poor owner had to wait around for us, we only found out as we were leaving and he closed up after us. We both felt awful for having him wait, we'd have ate quicker had we known. That being said, he didn't rush us or pressure us at all. Lovely man. We will 100% be back, our new favourite Italian : Kid-friendliness: The gent who served us was lovely with our little girl, talking to her, waving and smiling. She loved the attention.
