Menu

On this homepage, you will find the complete menu of Bay's Fish Bat from Hackney. Currently, there are 10 dishes and drinks available.

Once a beloved local fish and chip shop, this establishment now struggles with inconsistent quality and customer service. Patrons report inflated prices and disappointing meals, including raw chips and unappetizing meat. There are also complaints about rudimentary service, such as incorrect change and unresponsive staff. Despite a few positive mentions of fresh, well-cooked fish and generous portions, the overall sentiment highlights significant room for improvement. Diners are often left feeling undervalued, leading many to question whether this once-charming eatery can reclaim its former reputation amidst escalating disappointment.

This restaurant used to be a charming and affordable fish and chip shop. I visited with my daughter tonight to order her cod and chips, as well as a small portion of kebab meat.

I was surprised to be charged nearly £8 for the cod and £3 for the chips. There was no kebab menu with prices, and when I inquired, I was charged £5 for a small amount of kebab meat. I chose not to cause a scene as my daughter is autistic and I didn't want to upset her. Unfortunately, it seems this place has deteriorated into a poorly managed establishment with staff who take advantage of customers. I was thoroughly disappointed and will not be returning.

I ordered a £6.50 meal deal at this restaurant. The meat was terrible, but I guess that was expected. The chips were either raw or only 30% cooked at best. I ordered a lemon Fanta, but was informed that only Pepsi or 7up were allowed with the meal deal. When I asked for salt and vinegar, the amount given was minuscule - just 20 grains of salt and 4 drops of vinegar. Overall, a disappointing dining experience.

My mum went into this shop just before her shift at 8pm. We had no change so used a £5 note. We got the food and left and went to the convenience shop opposite, that’s when she noticed by using the change this fish shop gave us, that it wasn’t a real pound. My mums then returned back to the shop to tell them they’ve made a mistake and that she would like to change the pound. They made her wait for 20 minutes!!! For Them to check it on the cctv??? How does that make sense? How will that help ? They claimed they did not give it to her and that it wasn’t from this shop? THE ONLY CHANGE MY MUM HAD WAS THE CHANGE THEY GAVE HER!! Ridiculous customer service, made to feel soo low and liar!!!! It’s not even the money it’s the principle!! Instead of admitting their mistake and simply apologising then changing the coin they continued to deny it and be rude!!!!!!!!!! Disgusting!!! Made my mum late to work with all the stress she’s been through and the long hours she has put in being a nurse at a care home!!! ABSOLUTELY SICKENING!!!!
