Most Disliked

While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few diners note concerns about pricing. Some consider it slightly on the pricier side, especially in comparison to other local fish and chip shops. A handful of comments mention that the chip freshness can vary, affecting the enjoyment of those crispy bits at the bottom that many adore. Additionally, during peak times, the space can feel crowded, which some guests find overwhelming. The restaurant’s popularity means waiting may be necessary during rush hours, particularly on Thursdays and Fridays. Overall, while these points have been mentioned, they rarely detract from the overall vibe and experience provided by Golden Plaice.

Been coming here for a few years and its the best fish n chips I've had, and certainly the best value. Mayfair Chippy came close, Poppies was not as tasty. Highly recommended.

I have been coming here for many years and they never disappoint, today the fish was so delicious. The only thing I would say I love the small crispy bits of chips at the bottom I guess it depends on how fresh the chips are.

Our family really enjoyed our fish and chips. Freshly cooked, generous portions and a fair price. Packaged carefully to protect the fish batter and to top of the experience the kind owner walked the food with me to the house on a 15min round trip as I couldn't carry it all. Created a great evening for my family. Highly reccd
