Ideal Fish Bar in Harrow

Excellent fish and chips - generous portions and brilliant fish!

First time trying their fish & chips and definitely the last.I thought I would try them based on reviews. Haddock was nice but portion of scampi were basic and were not enjoyed by someone who loves scampi. Portion of chips were a small, measly amount, especially as EVERY OTHER ESTABLISHMENT are always generous with their portions except this establishment. Not impressed but then. I was warned by someone who suggested I try Sea Pebbles in Hatch End as this person has been a customer for over 20 years but since trying Sea Pebbles he said the food is fresh and delicious in comparison to Ideal Fish Bar. He warned me that I would not be happy with my experience. He was correct in saying so. I wished I met this ex customer before placing my order as unfortunately I met him during my 15/20 minute wait for my order :-(Sea Pebbles it is! Never again with their miser mentality, shocking to say the least!

Just want to say a massive thank you for the best haddock n chips...we usually cue up but decided to go for a deliveroo order instead this time which I wasnr too sure as I usually go to the shop n wait but hey all we can say is...wow n amazing!!¡! delivered crispy and fresh the chips were also amazing fresh clean to taste well done guys you definitely keep the top quality and standards on site or delivery.Thank you SO much for a fab meal 😋 😀

ABYSMAL customer service, don't bother calling this place up they shall tell you to come and queue like everyone else as if you're some sort of impatient rebel to the fish and chip culture. I've lived in Pinner all my life and my family have used this fish and chip shop for years. I now know that you're better off going the extra 5 minutes to Sea Pebbles in Hatch End or to call up and get delivery from Ruislip /Ickenham.

Response to the last review - any loyal customer of Ideal Fish Bar should know to expect long queues on Friday and Saturday ( as any successful fish and chip shop would )Food here is outstanding and good things in life are worth waiting for.

My local fish and chip shop for years as one of the more common customers. Prices over food (fish especially) have increased over inflation yet it's definitely worth the wait/value.As of July 2021, their chips are made with a new potato, and I highly advise you to try them, even just for that. They a more fluffy (on the inside) and quite crispy on the outside.Their lunchtime special is served everyday and consists of small fish (2) and chips, definitely worth the value - lunchtime ques are very short.Price of haddock has remained higher (beyond August 2020) due to shorter supply (always) and expense.[Don't let inflation stop you from coming here!]Staff are always kind and welcoming, and quickly know you if your a local/common visitor. It's all part of the community.

Good value fish and chips. Had to queue for quite a while which shows how popular it is.

I have finally got round to writing a review for this fabulous fish and chips shop, which I have visited for many years !Located in the heart of Pinner, this venue is spotlessly clean.The welcome you get is first class - always friendly, courteous and professional - with a smile.The food tastes lovely - freshly prepared fish and chips as you wait. Their menu is extensive. For the quality and portions you are served, the prices are very reasonable.You can tell this place is popular by the queues you see outside and the familiarity of staff with customers inside.A big shout out to the brilliant team of Alex, Omar, Cemal and Anthony.This venue's COVID19 signage and protective measures are firmly in place - nevertheless, this team has bravely put themselves on the front line to serve the local community during this two year long pandemic.I strongly recommend a visit here.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Its the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and I compare all other fish and chips to theirs. It’s always busy with a queue. The batter is crispy and the chips are cooked to perfection. I love it!!

This is the best fish and chips shop I have ever found. The fish is delicious and always crispy and the chips are really good. Me and my friends eat here regularly and not even a single time we had a bad experience. The prices are a bit high compared to other local fish and chips but it is fine for what we get.
