Most Disliked
Some diners express that the shop can become overwhelmingly busy during peak times, particularly on Thursdays at 6 PM. This popularity can lead to longer wait times for food, which can be frustrating for those eager to enjoy their meal.
Additionally, while the fish and chips receive rave reviews, there are occasional mentions of wanting more variety on the menu. Despite the classic offerings being well-executed, some guests look for additional sides or alternative entrees to expand their dining experience.

Tonight we had a big fish and chips meal from here and they were delicious. Freshly cooked to order and so tasty, pjs has to be one of not the best fish and chip shops in the area. Highly recommended to any and everyone. The food here is so fresh and so tasty I can not recommend this fish shop anymore than 5stars. The curry sauce maybe the best I’ve ever had from any chip shop ever you will not be disappointed with the curry sauce it’s so good.

It’s rumoured Tina Turner often visited PJs for a chippy supper after a gig. Apparently she was inspired to pen ‘Simply the Best, better than all the rest..’ after a lightly battered special with curry sauce and scraps. 👍🏻
