I've been going here for over 20 years and this latest iteration of the establishment is the best yet. The efficiency of the staff has to be seen to be believed, I've never had to wait long and they even manage to be polite to the Deliveroo drivers. Quality is excellent and portions are big.

First visit since reopening, used to be best in town but obviously things have changed. Very greasy, mushy chips and cod batter.

Quick and great service and really nice good. Fish wasn't greasy and they do great squid rings

Excellent. Chips properly cooked and a “fresh” battered Sausage. You should always cook them fresh or you may as well give it to the dog..Really good food, would recommend

Visited here for the first time in about twenty years recently. I had battered sausage, chips and curry sauce. Couldn't fault it ?

Good chip shop and traditional English.Extremely unsatisfactory sausage no colour no meat avoid if you like sausages .Why chip shops can’t offer you Lincolnshire or Cumberland as a sausage that is beyond belief I’m sure they could make a profit using proper sausages. Please change your ways. I’d pay an extra 50p for a proper sausage.

There's a reason this place always has queues going out the door. It consistently delivers on quality and it's all priced sensibly given the economy. There's space to eat outside too!
Cheeky cherries Face painting

My grand daughter and I had fish and chips ,They were lovely. Very pleasant staff and quick service. Will defo return.
Very disappointing, as a regular customer before the recent closure and re build, I was very excited when a re opening date was announced. We have specific dietary requirements requiring gluten and dairy free and this was always catered for with the burgers, or fish being tailored to suit.Alas.. this is not the case any more, gone is the large airy shop, it's now a cramped wait in a rather odd shaped waiting/seating area, and if you glance up at the new look menus hanging over the counter you will see a lot of classic items missing, no OAP specials anymore despite there popularity, no small sausages.. no small medium large options at all! Just small and "standard" whatever that is? It's no standard to a fish and chip establishment that's for sure.Saddest of all..no gluten free burgers at all anymore, and the burgers they do sell are just plain typical fish shop style, 1 or 2 items in a bun.. no stacks, no onion rings in the burger, no bacon.. all there well known and very popular options gone, and a new beaming manager that's full of his own self importance to happily tell you that the classic St Johns menu you loved is now completely different.They do serve gluten free chips as standard, and the gluten free fish is still an option, although the serving staff do not understand the importance of keeping gluten free items segregated from wheat and gluten containing products in the same bag! And the fish is taken from a cabinet directly above the chips, allowing all bits of gluten containing batter to fall into the chips....they may as well say they don't cater for gluten free at all now, as there nothing certain about the serving and handling practises at all.I am struggling to find any good points about my visit, and sadly the only part of the old much loved st Johns fish bar that remains is the name.. the rest is a fraction of its former glory.I sincerely hope that if anyone in higher places see the new set up that they have the sense to re instate the old manager quickly, as he was a joy to deal with, ever efficient and extremely happy to cater for loyal customers needs, understanding his local customer base very well indeed.Until such a day, my visits here are now over, and my recommendation to others will be nil.One very upset and disgruntled long time customer.Dietary restrictions: Terribly poorly catered for now, much improvement needed.

Only recently reopened June 2023. Freshly cooked haddock in light and super crispy batter. Was ready in 5 minutes. 2 fish with one standard chips was plenty for 2 people.Lovely sitting outside in the evening sunshine.

We went there last week for the first time since reopening. We were dissapointed with the food and found that it cost £4.00 more for the same order. Because it's a car drive for us to get there we'll probably not bother any more.

Always a good sign was the queue and it didn't disappoint. The fish was cooked fresh, was soft and succulent covered in the most mouthwateringly thin crispy batter and the chips were plentiful and proper potatoes. Shame we were on hols so unlikely to experience again, Moore's the pity!
