What Kevin W likes about White River Fish:
Came to live in the area four and half years ago. Tried some others then found this one. This remains the best chippy in the area by a large margin the fish is truly succulent and excellent and the chips are close behind. The portions are generous and the cooking absolutely spot on this is first choice for my partner's son and lady for the best there is when they visit from London. You want the best, go here View all feedback. What User doesn't like about White River Fish:
I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. It was my first time dining here, and I ended up only ordering chips for lunch. Unfortunately, they seemed to have been sitting out for hours and were completely inedible. I usually love their fish and chips, as they are always fresh and hot. However, today they were cold, dry, and hard. It was a complete waste of £5 and a very unpleasant meal. View all feedback.

Visitors have had mixed experiences at the restaurant. Some found the chips to be overcooked and disappointing, while others praised the succulent fish and generous portions. One reviewer mentioned that the cheese wasn't melted on the chips and the fish was oily, leading to a negative experience. On the positive side, another guest described the fish and chips as beautiful with friendly staff and efficient service. Overall, opinions varied, with some considering it the best chippy in the area while others were left feeling underwhelmed.

I’ve been coming here for years as the cod was always spot on as long as the main man was cooking (crispy light batter and chunky white fish). Since being taken...
