Description

Ideal Fish Bar continues to evoke strong feelings among its patrons. While some customers lament recent price hikes, long wait times, and a perceived decline in food quality, others praise its consistently delicious fish and chips, highlighting friendly service and the freshness of the meals. Though criticisms of soggy chips and poor treatment of walk-in customers are noted, many loyal diners maintain that it remains one of the top fish and chip shops in the area, emphasizing the worth of the wait and the vibrant flavors that keep them coming back for more.

My local fish and chip shop for years as one of the most common customers. the prices of food (especially fish) have increased over inflation, but it is definitely worth the wait/value. from juli 2021 their chips are made with a new kartoffel, and I strongly advise them to try them, even for it. they are a fluffier (on the inside) and quite crispy on the outside. their lunch special is served daily and consists of small fishing (2) and chips, definitiw worth the lunch quota very short. the price of the squid has remained higher due to the shorter delivery (always) and the cost (over august 2020). [let the inflation not stop coming here! the employees are always friendly and welcoming and know quickly whether their local/common visitors. it is all part of the community.

I finally tried to get a review for this fabulous fish and chip shop I've visited for many years! the hotel is located in the heart of pinner, this place is immaculately clean. the greeting they receive is the first class always friendly, friendly and professional with a smile. the eating tastes nice freshly prepared fish and chips as they wait. her menu is extensive. for the quality and portion they are served, the prices are very reasonable. they can say that this place is popular by the waiting queues they see outside and the familiarity of the employees with customers inside. a great scream from the brilliant team of alex, omar, cemal and anthony. the COVID19 signatures and protection measures of this site are still firmly attached to place, this team has bravely placed on the front to serve the local community during this two-year pandemic. I recommend a visit here.

Let me put it plainly: this place has gone completely down the drain. Once upon a time, you could rely on Ideal Fish Bar for a proper meal—a golden, crunchy bit of fish with chips that didn’t look like they’d been dragged through a rainstorm. But those days are gone, and what’s left is a sad excuse for a chippy that clings to its former reputation like a moth to a streetlight—pathetic, confused, and ultimately doomed. The food? Dire. The fish is DRY. DRY to the point of requiring dental insurance. The chips arrive looking like they’ve just come back from war—pale, floppy, and traumatised. And don’t get me started on the oil—it clearly hasn’t seen a fresh batch in weeks. There’s a greasy aftertaste that lingers like a bad decision. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to taste disappointment, go ahead and try the haddock. Price per person: £70–80 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
