I love everything about this place. The atmosphere is s quaint, the food was delicious and the staff were helpful and friendly. This was my first experience with fish and chips during my trip to the UK from the US. I don’t normally eat fish but this was absolutely delicious!
Had many a bag of chips from here and never been disappointed. Just the sort of comfort food that is needed after a walk around the town. Plenty of benches to sit at along the green, or sit on the steps of the war memorial, and enjoy the envious glares from the passing traffic as everyone is trying, and failing, to rush through the town. Great work, Mermaid Fish Bar :)
Oddly I was there on the same Friday as one of the other reviewers. I also waited 20+ minutes to get served because there was a sizeable queue stretching along the street - which I took as a good sign! We all thought our food was good: crispy batter, moist fish, loads of chips, mushy peas on point, curry sauce tasty and - contrary to another review - the staff were very friendly, especially given how busy it was.
One star off for only taking cash though!
Anyway, we were there for a campervan rally and often pick up F&C on the way to a site and this one was good enough to have a return visit if we are ever in the area again.
