Most Disliked
Some customers note that there can be a wait during peak hours, which might annoy those in a hurry. A few reviewers mention that negative experiences led them to hesitate initially, though most agree the food quickly earns its reputation. Occasionally, customers have pointed out that certain dishes, like the chicken, could use more seasoning. The atmosphere, while casual, might not suit everyone who prefers a more upscale dining experience. It's important to keep in mind that during busy times, some items may run out, leading to limited choices for diners.

Nearly didn't pick here due to a few negative reviews but can honestly say it was one of the best fish and chips we've had in years. Very crispy chips. Nice batter on the fish and nice flakes. Thank you!

Great fish and chips portion was huge . The chips were good and fish was well cooked. Next time I'm going to try the Grimsby haddock . Ordered large fish and chips with onion vinegar and a pensioner special. Couldn't finish the large!

Great tasting chips! Fresh, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The piece of chicken I had was a generous size and really tasty. Very helpful and friendly lady who served me. Great value at only £5!

Frequent customer at Crispins as we always leave satisfied which the food and service. Although last night deserved a review. The food was outstanding. We ordered two cod, box of doner meat and a large chips. The portion size was enough to feed 4 adults. The fish was cooked to perfection, with the doner meat on par with Masters Kebab. Big thank you to everyone at Crispins who made our Friday night even more enjoyable!!

I drive over two miles to get to Crispin's passing three other chip shops on the way because they are worth the extra effort. I would thoroughly recommend them.

OUTSTANDING service from such a lovely and very witty lady! GREAT fish with super light and crispy batter. Fish cooked perfectly. ‘Proper’ chips washed down with a sneaky spam fritter. It’s often said that “First impressions last the longest.” Well, as first time visitors to Crispins Twydall Green, we are truly smitten. It’s taken us a while to settle in to our new home and we will always travel in search of the best food. The news is that Crispins is just a short drive away! We WILL return. Blessings to you all.
