This is not just any fish and chip restaurant.Although other establishments have placards outside saying they have this or that award the queue waiting patiently for a place in the Magpie give their own recommendation.Good quick service and some of the best fish i have ever tasted.Dont be kidded by the “medium Cod” label, I doubt I have ever seen bigger! Verty highly recommended.
