Third of what will be a regular experience I expect. Photos from the most recent two visits.
I usually arrive to take away on the earlier side and during the week mostly around 6pm.
Orders are taken promptly and accurately. Potions are of a nice size - not too big. The batter is always crisp and the chips are well cooked with not many small bits.
I can also recommend the curry sauce.
Service ranges from very quick to good (if they have to cook something for my order it has always arrived quickly and the need for such had been explained while ordering and before payment).
Very happy - worth the drive. Free parking nearby always a bonus.
We were favoured with another very nice meal of perfectly cooked best quality Cod and Chips last Wednesday.
So pleased Malting Restaurant in Baldock is now up the the excellent standards that Paul Taylor worked to. Now also the whole shop is improved to a very high standard, with the very good practical layout.
The Proprietor has a very clear desire to see his customer's well fed and fully satisfied, his team of assistant's are all very kindly respectful and nice.
A few days later we had take away of Regular Cod and Chips which we enjoyed eating them in our car. They were perfectly cooked highest quality and presented in a most convenient box, so we could eat from it as it sat nicely on our car seat tables.
Nice food but portions definitely been dramatically reduced, whilst prices have gone up. Large chips 3.75 and barely enough for two people...I'd hate to see a medium. Why cut down on portions of chips?... they don't cost much to buy at all and previously, a large was too much for two people, so won't be back, as I think other places in Baldock offer better value for money.
Stunningly good fish and chips at a bargain price. Pukka pies also served. Restaurant is upstairs, it isn't fancy, but a really great place. I last came here 20 years ago, and if anything, it is better. No greasy chips here!
Brilliant gluten free options on a Thursday and Saturday.
Tried it for the first time this week - really clear labelling, staff being careful about cross contamination, and more importantly it was delicious!
Great to have a gluten free vegetarian option too with the halloumi.
We'll be back!
Great fish and chips, great atmosphere, lovely little place..... Just be prepared to sell a kidney. Fish and chips is pricey these days. Definitely not a reflection on this wonderful place, just a small fact of life, prices are going up!!
New to the area and found a voucher to use in the restaurant upstairs. Interior nothing special however the fish and chips was very nice! Staff very friendly special propts to the young blonde gentleman seving us very friendly and service with a smile:) pictured is large cod and chips
Had a lovely chippy tea sitting outside Maltings tonight. Warm, friendly atmosphere from the team inside. Can especially recommend the halloumi burger (cooked to perfection). Thanks
Very good quality fish n chips. Extremely good hygiene and staffing levels. Is not open on Sunday or Monday so don't be caught out by this. Open times are 11 30am to 2 and 430 to 9 on the other days, so not open continuously throughout the afternoon.
Myself and my partner enjoyed a lovely meal here. We dined in , service was impeccable, all the the staff were friendly. Food was great.
Lovely chips and great Saveloys, was my go-to for lunch whilst stationed in Baldock on the Prince's Trust. Staff are friendly and there is a nice little seating area upstairs too.
I remember this Fish & Chip shop when it was called Cliff Taylor's and was the best for miles around. People including me used to drive from Royston to buy their food. Sadly I don't think its anywhere as good as it was in the mid 1970's but thats progress and inflation!!
It's been a weekly tradition for my family to come back to this shop specifically for fish and chips and they're always good! Chips are proper nice and staff are lovely. Recommended chippy
Decided to finally review this place. I learnt they won an award and went back after one year. It’s still really good but not the same. Oilier and portions have been reduced. Still better than anything else in baldock.
![5]( "Recensione")
Ahoy me maties!!!!! 🏴☠️
So a little birdy told me about a chippy that was apparently good enough to rival the homelands offering... queue a 50 odd mile round trip! (Nothing to do with an excuse for a ride 😉 )
On arrival I have to admit I was impressed (first question being do you have Gravy?), lovely gent and ladies working there, and what seemed quite a family friendly establishment.
Biker friendly with a fair amount of parking nearby. COVID check in, with more than adequate sanitiser for your (rather warm) reviewer on arrival.
Made my order and grabbed a pew outside. Now... Did angels descend from the heavens on eating my food, bracketed by signs of the apocalypse at a Southern establishment being a close second to my usual?! Ermmm, well no actually but I have to admit my stomach went to a very happy place ☺
Chips were lovely, not greasy and just enough to go with the sausage, Gravy and coke. Definitely would recommend a visit as if even the basic stuff I ordered was this good, well, I might pop back to try the other offerings 😄
Definitely worth a visit if you're close by or in the area- for me personally the trip length means it won't be a regular, but like in most movies "I will never forget the time we had"
*eye roll I know*
Still the best chippie in the Letchworth/Baldock area
Take note of current opening times.
Mon, Sun - closed
Tues - Fri: 11:30 -2pm then 4:30pm-9pm
Amazing fish and chips. Great friendly service.
Food packaged perfectly so when you get home it's not sweaty and still nice and crispy.
The halloumi is light fluffy in a delicious crispy batter, would rate 10 stars!
