My photo gallery 		Its probably not fair to rate Nicks Pizzeria and Pub as a fish and chips place but I heard they serve a decent batch. Just a warning, dont let my score weigh heavily on if their Pizzas.

For a pub, this is one of the better lit pubs Ive been to. The store front is made of glass where you can see the outside. They have a good selection of beers and I think weds is the night to go to for specials. On the top floor is a pool table and pinball machine.

Fish - they had good size pieces of cod but it tasted like the fish had been frozen for quite a bit length of time. The fish was cooked but it just wasnt hot or steaming. It wasnt a nice white color or flakey..it was just there.

batter - heavy on the batter with some sides being more crunchier than others. it got soggy quick. I thought it was a tad overcooked and could have been drained better. The batter flavoring didnt taste like much either.

chips - were crispy and good

garlic bread - the bread was good, I dont think Ive had bread with my fish before but i still ate the stuff

I dont think I would order the fish again. It didnt taste fresh, the batter was full of oil and got soggy quick. The portions were big and service was friendly. Lets hope the pizza taste better than the fish.
