This chippy is our local and never disappoint, fantastic portion sizes and good value for money compared with some other chippys we have been to. Always have the cod which is always cooked perfectly- white and flaky. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback.

What bethsenequestrian dislikes about The Only Way Is Fish:
Waited over an hour for food , eventually called they say they delivered it. Conveniently they’re now closed so no food, no refund. Absolutely shocking service do not use. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 View all feedback.

Bought a half chicken and chips and the chicken was raw in the middle. I took it back and they blamed it on incorrect instructions from the supplier!!! This place use to be great but something must have changed as they don't even know how to cook anymore.

This review is about the owner and his friends and not the takeaway as I have never been there, however having experienced his behaviour along with his friends at another establishment I would never in a million years give this arrogant aggressive disrespectful man my trade. You should know that he and his friends think is is okay to go to a restaurant that have families seated and use the c word and any other expletives they could think off as loud as they want with children seated next to them, they actually asked members of the restaurant staff ‘Do you know who I am’, as if that made it alright. I have never experienced such disrespectful, arrogant, aggressive behaviour in a restaurant, where a group of customers think that because they also own an establishment close by that they are special.. well you know what, you’re not!! In fact your behaviour was disgusting and for that alone I would never ever give you my custom.

This was an absolutely awful savaloy and chips, rock hard savaloy and and rock hard chips. This place use to be excellent before it was taken over now it’s dreadful. 3rd time I’ve tried and the same every time. Never again!

Proper filth chicken was raw chips were **** manager Graham don't have a clue about hygiene wouldn't let him near a broom let alone food never again

The Only Way is Fish presents a mixed bag of dining experiences. While many patrons laud its generous portions and consistently delicious fish and chips, recent visits have revealed a decline in quality and service. Reports of long wait times, poor food presentation, and inconsistent cooking have raised concerns. Notably, some longstanding customers express disappointment in a once-beloved local eatery, now plagued by mishaps. In contrast, others celebrate the restaurant's reliable offerings and commend its exceptional customer service, particularly during events like family gatherings. The establishment's potential remains, but it must address these emerging issues to regain its former glory.

I have been staying in the area for work for the past two weeks and have visited this restaurant three times now. Each time, I have asked if the chips are fresh, but unfortunately, they have been hard and dry as if they have been sitting for a long time. This was disappointing and almost broke my teeth. I should have learned from the first time. As someone from Cornwall, I must say that the chips were shocking. I would avoid this restaurant because they lie about the freshness of their chips. Despite the good service, they are missing out on customers when there are not many chip shops in the area. Please do not bother with excuses for my complaint, as I am not interested. Take it or leave it, I do not care at all.

The food at this restaurant is consistently delicious. Inder and Steve are always quick to take my order, and they are very friendly. I highly recommend trying the entire menu, as there are many delicious options to choose from. The customer service is excellent.
