NEW OWNERS! Went for haddock, roe and chips, this lunchtime. My first impression was how clean it looked, always a good start. Lady and Gent behind counter were so polite and pleasant. Another good start. When something is too good to be true, it usually is! Not at all, in this case. The chips were just right. Not dry and not greasy. I'm fed up of chip shops giving me soggy batter, which is half cooked! Passed the test, easily! Crispy and fish was fresh and tasty. Can't fault these new owners! Glad I've found a good chippy again. The other one I used had stopped doing haddock, so that's why I've swapped. Glad I have!

Very nice fast food. Staff is friendly and the shop is one of the cleanest i saw. When visiting the Kenilworth Castle we had a few choices around but decided on Friends because of the food and prices... the fish was one and a half foot long... Chips are crispy and portions are huge. Would definitely eat there again.

What a find . Of late we have been very disappointed with the local Kenilworth chippies re the fish and batter quality, so decided tonight to try Friends. Both my cod and my husbands haddock were excellent lovely white flavourful fish and light tasty batter and both pieces of fish very generous in size. Chips were good too. Might a little bit pricier than some others but so worth it for the quality.

First visit. Best Chicken doner kebabs I have had in many a year! Run by a friendly couple from Turkey and I could tell the authenticity, with regards to this dish anyway! It was succulent and melt in the mouth delicious, a far cry from the usual 'rubbery' fare I've had in the past. Definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to when they introduce Lamb kebabs!
