Hi Tide
4.1 / 5 (1906 reviews)

Description

Despite a mix of positive and negative experiences, the consensus about Hi-Tide seems to revolve around the portion sizes, especially the chips. Many customers complain about receiving small portions, even in sizes labeled as "large." The wrapping paper used for packaging seems to create an illusion of larger portions than what is actually inside. In addition to the portion size issue, some patrons have reported slow service and a lack of availability of certain items. While some customers praise the quality of the food, others find the prices to be on the higher side compared to other fish and chip shops.

I have been using Hi Tide for many years and it is still the best.

I have frequented Hi Tide for years and have recommended this place to lots of friends and colleagues. I will never give a false review because it is unfair to any establishment. Therefore, I will continue to say, it is still one of the best for fish and chips but........PLEASE get your act together when placing people to serve the public behind your counter. What a rude, disrespectful encounter I had with one of your staff recently. It is evident that this person needs to be taught to treat ALL who walk into your place and are paying customers, with the same level of courtesy and respect! That unpleasant encounter has put me off from visiting again. Do BETTER! Note that my rating of TERRIBLE therefore is in no way related to the food!

This restaurant served awful oily, mushy chips and a dry, bland piece of cod. Half of the cod was eaten by pigeons. The owner suggested I should have returned the dish, which I probably should have done. However, after trying a few bites of the extremely greasy food, I had no desire to eat it again. The chips were crumbling apart and the cod was drier than a pair of desert flip flops.

Bought a med cod and large chips tonight. Absolutely disgusting the chips were so oily they broke as you picked them up and the cod was dry and totally bland. What's up with that batter as well no flavour what so ever. I haven't been there in years but I was in the area so thought I have cod n chips but never again from there I won't ever be returning. What happened to the good quality where has it gone? Chips should not be that oily you feel like you've drank a bottle of crisp n dry after eating less than a 1/3 of an portion and chips should not break apart and be that mushy either. Honestly such a shame the standards have dropped that low. I've taken a picture but I'm unable to upload it. Won't recommend and will not return again. Sorry but it really was that bad. Thanks for reply but after that amount of oil and the terrible cod what's the point in bringing it back. That's what quality control is about ensuring the food is of a good standard. It wasn't like the shop was busy. Also you stated the new potatoes hold a bit of oil this wasn't a bit of oil they were saturated in oil.

This place is the best! They made me a large portion of cod and chips right before closing time, and it was absolutely delicious. They definitely made this hungry man very happy. Thank you!
