Most Disliked
Some customers mention that during peak times, specifically on match days, the queue can become quite long, which can test patience. While the service is typically efficient, a few have noted that cooking times can extend slightly during these busy periods. Additionally, a handful of diners believe that while the food is stellar, there could be a greater variety of offerings on the menu, particularly for those preferring vegetarian options. Although the seating area caters to casual diners, some feel that more elaborate dining options would enhance the overall experience.

This is an excellent old-fashioned chippy, that does fish 'n' chips and, er, anything possible & chips. It's situated in a row of terraced houses and it's obvious it was once someone's living room! The houses are next to (yes, right next to) Rochdale AFC's Spotland Stadium's WIllbutts Lane end. Worth going to for the location alone. I was there as an away fan and was welcome. Fish cake & chips for £3 did the trick.
