I’ve eaten in at the Captains Table a number of times as one of my friends used to live nearby, and we would usually go here for a cheap sit in meal to give us something to do of an evening. They do take out, and have a spacious enough area for sitting in, and it’s always pretty packed, which I guess compliments its popularity. Despite this though, we never had any problems getting served, and I always found the staff to be reasonably friendly. Not exactly jumping for joy, but who is while they are at work! They do all the usual food you would expect from a chip shop, chips, fish, burgers and suchlike(fish supper was my favourite, and as the others have mentioned, it’s not the best chippy in the world, but it’s still good, and cheap, which was good for me at the time, being a skint student!

The Captain’s Table is a pretty much faultless fish’n’chip place on the Carnmoney Road of Glengormley. One can sit in, in the nice atmosphere of the café bit, or take away. I’ve done the latter many times when the place has been rammed, and the staff are always super-organised and speedy. I seems to me that everybody has very strong(often misguided) feelings about their favourite chippy. But I’d challenge anybody to point me towards a local place that’s better than here. Unlike the previous reviewers, I’ve been fortunate enough to never catch the staff in a bad mood — quite the opposite, in fact. They’ve been friendly to me and and my family when we’ve sat in or taken away. The fish is superb. They seem to understand that big, whopping whacks of cod can be overcooked and horrible, and they always do it perfectly. Their pasties(a chippy should be closely scrutinised by the quality of said products) seem to be made in-house and are really tasty. Nothing healthy on offer but hey, what do you want from a chippy? Well worth a try, in my humble opinion.

The Captain’s Table has been around under one banner(or flag?) or the other for as long as I can remember. Literally as long as I can remember. We used to go here every Friday when I was younger, but I don’t really go anymore. In fairness, it’s not because the place isn’t good, it is. It’s just that there’s a much better chippy across the road(The Thornton), and these things are all relative. The food is good, but a little too greasy for me. Plus, I always slip on the floor — not a good look. Colm H is also right when he calls the staff out for being moody at times. Compared to their rival across the road, this place seems tired. It is a sit-down restaurant as well though, so if you don’t actually want your house smelling of fish supper, you can always sit in. The price is reasonable and you won’t have any complaints. They also started doing home delivery about a year ago, which is pretty spiffy, given that they are the only fish and chip shop in Glengormley that offer that to the best of my knowledge.

This place is somewhat of an institution around the area and you can often find lots of the locals enjoying a fish supper on a Friday night. It is an incredibly relaxed place, being a mix between both a take away and a sit-in café, and very good value for money, and good portion sizes ensure that you never go away disappointed. The service is fast and efficient, although sometimes the staff can be a little moody. They do almost anything you could think of that you would want from a takeaway, including a fairly decent selection of pizzas. The chips are probably not the best you can get in the area but they certainly are probably some of the cheapest. Unfortunately the Captain’s Table does not do deliveries, but it is certainly worth a trip to try it out. Try their gravy too, it’s pretty great.
