Winscombe Fish - North Somerset

Poor experience. Most importantly, both the fish and chips tasted like they’d been sat about for a LONG time and kept warm unpleasant texture and taste. Chips were steak cut; perhaps personal preference but it seems a bit strange to me for a chippy, more like a Wetherspoons or similar. My regular cod was served as what appeared to be a small cod and a chopped up extra bit from somewhere else, which just seems odd and meant it was dry. Unfortunate as this was our first time here sadly we won’t be going again.

This has to be one of the worst in the country. When I visited the Cod was pre-formed fish bits battered just like Birdseye manufacture, so only one size medium. Price, the same as traditional large cod and chips so not worth the money. Go to Banwell much better value.

Finally reached the area I was staying in for the night and thought this place would be just the job to satisfy my hunger especially as the reviews seemed so good. Don't know if my own local chippy is just so good or whether this place is just so bad (of course...I do) but this is probably the worst f+c I've had in a very very long time and it wasn't cheap either but don't get me wrong I have no problem paying for good quality...but this really wasn't it. Tip to the owner/fryer...change the oil now and again for goodness sake...the chips were rank with burnt black bits all over them...I threw most away. Fish was rubbish as well. So a disappointing experience for me but maybe I was just unlucky and/or perhaps some of the reviewers are very easily pleased with inferior food. Tummy wasn't so good later on either...coincidence?

We have rerouted to Winscombe chippy After several bad experiences at the murphys fish bar at Churchill traffic lights . Absolutely super fish and chips from Winscombe. Fresh and good sized portions and really easy to order over the phone and collect. Will defo be recommending this takeaway and look forward to our next visit. Much rather travel the extra distance into Winscombe for super dinner and friendly staff

We were staying in the area for one night before catching a flight the next day. We decided to have Fish and chips. What a good decision we made the Fish was the best I’ve ever had lovely chunks of white fish, not greasy just perfectly cooked.The chips were also lovely. Will definitely be going back when in the area.Just fantastic Highly recommended
