Hirds Family Fisheries - Calderdale

Will Pitt’s: I liked the food because it was tasty Ben Ayrton: Well isn’t that nice Will. I think I agree with you Robert Voong: Quite tasty food plus I liked that Max fella James Taylor: I will take photos of this momentous occasion Zach: yes food was good Devan Costello: I didn’t appear The food was good and I enjoyed it. A mysterious man behind the counter helped us and he was nice. His name was Max Povey and he was lovely fella

So we are back again, hunger creeping in, and with Max Povey a ' fryin ', we of course are buyin '! A lovely gentleman in a tight women 's top greets us so, as the TV above him shadows down images of cyberbullying. 5 fish and chip please, the gentlemen exclaim, echose of reminisce linger from last time. Coming right up! , says the mysterious server. As we wait for a short while, we anticipate goodness, as good as the Lorax (a very good movie by the way). Salt or vinegar, the server in a normal top asks. Salt please, I don 't like vinegar in 2023. As we tuck into our award-winning delecacy, we slowly begin to recognise the server and his tight fitted women 's top. Is that the man from the BBC top 10 fish and chip show? The one who is dragged to acca on occasion. Could it be? The amazing Max Povey, food served from a literal demi-god! But all good things must come to an end, and the Maximus Povey sends verbal daggers into me. I am leaving Herds, have you heard? We scream and cry as he laughs that classic grim, what a shocker! We leave Herds in a state of distress, but full, and as much as we recommend, to come back may give us flashbacks. Food 10/10, Mental State 0/10

After a morning of shopping in Halifax, I was in need of a good meal and decided to do a quick search for a place to eat (I have Celiac disease, so I need gluten-free options). I stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant and what a great find it was! The freshly cooked gluten-free fish and chips with peas, and gluten-free vinegar were delicious. The batter was perfect, everything was served piping hot and not greasy at all. On top of that, we received a very friendly welcome and had a nice conversation while we waited briefly for our food. Whether you need gluten-free options or not, you can't go wrong dining here - the quality is the same. They have a large gluten-free menu so we will definitely be returning in the future.

This is one of the top gluten free fish and chip takeaways that I’ve ordered from. Not only does the menu go above and beyond the choices that any other fish and chip shop offer for gluten free options but the staff are friendly and pride themselves on their knowledge of gluten free availability as well. It’s such a treat to have a number of options such as gluten free fried halloumi, curry sauce, gravy and loaded fries. The staffs confidence in gluten free offers makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. We have ordered from the ‘Deliveroo’ app also, which suggests a gluten free menu, but doesn’t have ‘gf’ next to the orders (having been burnt before at different restaurants) I rang up to make sure it had gone through as Gluten Free. The staff were already on it, ensuring me it was, with lovely customer service. On arrival, all gluten free orders were in a different bag to the other orders with defined ‘gluten free’ tape on each box like paradise to my eyes! These experiences really go above and beyond for a gluten free person eating out and it’s appreciated all the way. Ps, watch BBC iPlayer Britains Top Takeaway for the true reflection of a fish and chippy ran with family spirit!

Honestly the best fish and chips in the area, great value for the size of the portion the fish was fried to perfection, can’t wait to visit again.
