"We recently visited Chino’s Fish Bar in Upton and were really impressed! From the moment we walked in, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick and efficient. The food was absolutely spot on – crispy, golden fish with fluffy chips and a side of tasty mushy peas. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. We also tried a burger with cheesy chips, and it was delicious – proper comfort food done right! Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the place is clean and well-kept. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. Definitely a great spot for a classic British takeaway. Highly recommended if you're in the area!"

"I'm a repeat customer. Had lunchtime kebab. Portion sizes are good, meaning I didn't need to eat later in the day. Prices are more than reasonable. The salad was fresh and the home made chilli sauce is excellent. Service has always been fast abd friendly."

"What a great fish and chip shop hearty portion sizes, and the all-day fish meal is amazing...... I have been known to travel from wakefield for their fish and chips. Really nice owners I'd give the 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Anyone who does not pay them a visit is really missing out."
