What makes their fish and chips the best in the Watford area?As a family we have been going to them for years. The fish is always crispy and the big chips so tasty. I love their pot of curry sauce with it too. They also do a good chicken kebab (another favourite in our household ). The staff are always so friendly and I couldn’t ask for a better chippie in Watford .
