Review of Goodwin's Fish & Chips, on Nantwich Road, Crewe

Goodwin's Fish & Chips

Reviewed by: Local Listings on July 2013
. Great food, but overall poor experience

Welcome
I was met with an empty shop when entering Goodwins in early July of this year. It was then around a 5 minute wait until someone realised there was a customer in the shop. An underwhelming welcome did little to make up for the wait.

Price
A large fish, chips, peas and gravy costs £8.50, so slighty more expensive than the average cost.

Quality
The fish are all cooked to order and there's no doubt that the fish they serve up is one of the best in Crewe. The fish tasted great, but they chips were no better than ok.

ExitI paid with a £20 note and received £1.50 change! I queried this and she did realise her mistake and I do believe this was a genuine mistake on her part, but this simply added to the poor experience.

Rating: 3.0

Wheelock Farm New Pricing Structure - 2013


A new pricing structure is in place for Wheelock Farm this summer, which now sees you having to pay for children, regardless of whether they play on the adventure playground or are there simply to view the animals (which was previously free). The cost is now £2.50 per child. There is no cost for adults.

The farm has added a castle maze slide to its wide array of activities for children, so I believe £2.50 is a reasonable cost to pay in comparison to more pricier activities. There are new additions to the selection of animals, as you can see from the picture above - a new breed of piglets!
