Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the exceptional quality of the fish—battered to golden perfection and cooked fresh for every order. Many consider the chips equally remarkable, consistently crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The homemade mushy peas are a standout, often described as a must-try by first-time visitors. Regulars appreciate the friendly staff and efficient service, creating a welcoming vibe perfect for quick lunch breaks. It’s also popular for its variety, allowing guests to indulge in not just fish and chips, but also hearty sausage options and savory Pukka pies.
Most Disliked
Some diners note that the popularity of Golden Plaice can lead to busy times, particularly during lunch hours, resulting in longer wait times for orders. Certain menu items, like the Chinese spring rolls, may require advance ordering as they're cooked to order and aren't always available. Guests have also pointed out that the cash-only policy can be inconvenient, especially in a world where digital payments are the norm. Parking, while mostly easy, can become tight during peak times, further adding to the frustration for those driving.

Without any doubt, the best fish & chip shop in the area. Chips cooked to perfection, with a golden brown, classic chip colour, and very tasty! Fish is always lovely as well, and always cooked to order when I go there. Would highly recommend!

All beautifully cooked to order. Homemade mushy peas were very special. Chips were as good as they get, and the cod and sausages, perfect.

One of my favourite chip shops. Staff and always pleasant and fish and chips are excellent. Their Chinese spring rolls are also delicious, although they don't always have them ready so they have to be cooked to order. It often pays to order ahead by phone, especially for fish other than cod. Easy parking (although it does get busy at times) and wheelchair accessible.

Always top quality fish and everything is expertly cooked. the price is very reasonable too. Usually easy to park too. The battered sausages dipped in their pots of curry sauce are divine.
