Chip portion size seems to shrink every few months. The pickled gherkins are not pickled.This used to be one of my favourite chip shops but since trying to do more food choices the fish and chips quality have slipped.

Great chips!

Fantastic service. The food is fantastic. I only wish they would takeaway the large delivery charges. Apparently you have to spend £20 then it’s another £2.50 on top. Fair enough, I don’t live far from them, but I am disabled.

Twice got my order wrong previously And on a delivery recently i rang them up to ask what time my delivery left them, I was told to wait one moment and they hung up on me, And when I tried to call straight back they would not answer the phone. Abit shocking really especially a business in beaconsfield.

Nice friendly staff. Food was good. Only negative was the taste of the vinegar, not sure what it was but it had an unusual flavour.

0 stars, I had the rock because it said "fresh today", the worst piece of fish I've ever been served in my life I tasted it and spat it out smelled horrible I gave it all to the seagulls!Most of the reviews for this place are dreadful and most of the Answers from the establishment are ridiculous.There is not an easy way to reply to a reply, I think that Google need to change this.If people are going to the trouble of leaving a review they should have the facility to reply to the reply.

I always feel sad to write a one star review as it’s people’s livelihoods but….they also need to know.Having used the ‘Friar’ many times in previous visits over the years and had reasonable fish and chips this was a real disappointment.Stopped for a lunch.The fish batter was wet inside, almost slimy. The oil can’t have been hot enough or food in for long enough. The chips were pale and limp with no taste.Having eaten a range of fish and chips from brilliant to poor this is the first time we have not even finished half the food. We didn’t bother returning to complain as we had a timetable to keep to.The bottles inside the fridge on a shelf were all leaning over and not tidy.Whilst 2 portions of fish and chips was £21.98 which I don’t mind paying if it was good and enjoyableReally need to learn how to cook fish and chips properly if the current owners want to continue.Would not recommend and will not be back.

Ordered sausage and chips takeaway, the chips werent cooked in front of me and from the taste has clearly been sat there for sometime as cold. I also ordered baked beans and when i was given my food was handed a small can of Sainsburys baked beans.. The place is a joke, such a shame we dont have a good fish and chip shop in Beaconsfield old town.

Unfortunately, the chips had not been freshly cooked & almost unpalatable. The fish was freshly cooked.

My family ran this as a proper fish and chip shop for nearly 40 years and it was a go to for all in the old town. As I was passing, I thought I'd give it a go and I was absolutely disgusted at the service, the abject quality of the food and also the high prices for what they were serving. The kebab I ordered took 25 minutes to arrive and was inedible. These guys are charlatans. I was speaking to local business owner that I told of this experience and he said he wasn't surprised in the slightest. He also informed me that without permission, these guys ripped out all the original 18th century Elm panelling, from a grade 2 listed property and then proceeded to tell everyone they did it with the permission of Hall Barn Estates. All lies. And just goes to show the lack of respect and ineptitude of these people. Avoid.

Food was terrible. Burnt chips and king size kebab was tiny. I called to complain and they couldn’t care less. Threw the lot in the bin. Don’t go here. Total rubbish.

Uncooked cod, batter smelt off & the chips looked like they’d been through the microwave. Staff argumentative. No wonder this place has terrible reviews. And no, my review is not fake.
Very good food and great customer service.
