Great fish, battered perfectly, great chips and very nice battered sausage. Not greasy and freshly cooked!
okay, t.
Scampi were ever so slightly singed on the outside, but were still tasty and juicy. Flavour wise the fishcakes were good, just tasted like every fishcake from every fish bar anywhere, but they were about half the size of the ones normally served in fish bars. I guess that's why they serve them in pairs. I asked for just one thinking they would be larger. My mistake I suppose. We didn't have to wait too long and the prices were acceptable which is good. But cash only in this day and age, especially when there isn't an ATM in the village, not really sure what that's about....

10th November’21 - After a long day, decided to eat in and walked around the corner to Beer Fish & Chips. Limited menu on the night (no haddock). However, the cod was cooked to perfection (wonderfully thin, crisp batter), chips delicious and piping hot, mushy peas (perfect), onion rings crisp and tasty, portions massive! Unless you have really big appetites, one portion of chips is enough for two. £25 (cash only), absolutely spot on! We’ll be back, you should try out these wonders too!

I was initially put off by all the negative reviews on here, but it's a perfectly good chippie - nothing fancy, currently a limited cash only menu, but still good. Very, very generous portions of chips, good number of scampi. Give it a try, bet it ticks most of the boxes

I’ve had some random experiences over the years at this place, but always great quality battered fish. As others have said, it’s pricey, but it’s also very conveniently located… Went there last weekend and was told I couldn’t have small haddock “it only comes in £7.20 size” and when we unwrapped it, there was an extra piece - wt#! Luckily I was able to give it to a grateful couple, so nothing was left to waste.

Had to wait 40 minutes, fish was supposed be large, really wasn't ! medium at best. When we paid and received our food not even a thank you. When your the only fish and chip shop in a sea side town you would think that they would be geared up to serve quicker and at least be friendly.

Extortionate fish prices, more expensive than London! Unnecessary extension of Covid restrictions - had to wait out in the street in the rain, and they they don't take card payments, it's cash only. Staff not very friendly, and although the food was edible, it wasn't worth the money or experience sadly. In years past this was a great fish & chip shop, with very fresh fish including Huss/Rock on the menu. Now it's just basic cod, haddock & plaice all @ around a rip-off ÂŁ7.50 a piece (not including the ÂŁ3 chips), and the fish is no way as fresh as it could be!

Fantastic fish and champion chipsMy family visited the chippie to buy a takeaway on a busy Saturday evening. The queue was long, which we took as a good sign, but it moved really quickly. A member of staff was taking orders from people in the queue and our food was ready just as we got to the counter. My husband and I both had haddock and chips. There were more than enough chips to share with our daughter to go with her chicken nuggets. The fish was beautifully cooked in a light batter and completely boneless. The haddock was ÂŁ7.20 a portion which is a lot more than we're used to paying at home but we really enjoyed eating our holiday treat sitting above the beach by the RNLI shop.

The use of frozen items on the menu are priced high (fishcakes, fish fingers, nuggets..etc.. ) .. the chips aren't anything wonderful.... they're not crispy on the outside or fluffy on the inside... Just soggy and stodgy. Cod was fine, nothing to write home about.Also, staff weren't friendly - ignored kids (not family friendly) and generally just seemed irriated.Not much other choice for fish and chips though unless you go to the pub, which is far better and the staff are also nice.

An olde world fish and chip shop, either eat in or take away. Large menu choice with table service. Food, tasty and well cooked. The staff are friendly and helpful
