Aldeburgh Fish and Chips in Suffolk Coastal

Really tasty and good portion sizes

Great fish and chips. Efficient, no nonsense service.

The place to go when visiting Aldeburgh! we had a great lunch of fish and chips and sat on the sea wall to eat it. a ture British tradition. the portions were just right, not too big or too small. and really tasty. heartily reccomend.

What a fantastic fish and chip shop. The chips were golden and crispy on the outside and wonderfully fluffy on the inside. The batter on the fish was perfect. Not too thick, very crispy and delicious. Really flaky fish too. Perfection. What could be better than eating amazing fish and chips while sitting on the sea wall watching the seals? Just watch out for seagulls!!!

Best fish and chips in the area.

Great value for money compared to the cafe/ restaurant a few doors down charging £18.50 for fish and chips! 2 meals and our drinks came to that at the chip shop.

We was looking forward to getting fish and chips for lunch time and was so disappointed, my husband had lots of bones in his fish and both of ours were small portion, it wasn't very good quality either, though the batter was nice, shame really, we won't be back.

Yummy food, great service. Not my first visit and won't be my last!

My local chippy. Love it here but not in the summer too many queues!! Staff are great.

Lack of veggie option. Chips could have been crispier. Reasonable prices

Really good, gets busy but very efficient.

We were looking forward to a fish and chip supper while here and we weren't disappointed, be prepared for a long queue, over half an hour for us but worth it.

Lovely Fish & Chips I went for Lrg Cod & Lrg Chips Paid £10 All lovely, but the "Large" Cod Fell short of my Expectations - it was more like a Regular/Medium Size

Never been to alderburgh before was advised to head here for fish and chips, it was very busy, great service, polite, it does say skinless and boneless, both our cod had skin on, and both had bones, chips peas, and curry sauce very nice, jusy a shame about skin, and bones, ruins the experience,

Great place and chips! Crispy tasty chips red hot and ready really quickly. Good job!

Haddock and chips similar to what you would get up north. Skinless and boneless and cooked in Beef dripping I believe. My only criticism would be the bags they’re served in. They’re a pain in the backside. That said, the sea gulls can’t pilfer your catch so easily.

Reassuring long queue on a Friday night. Haddock excellent and enjoyed the chips too!

SO disappointed, as we'd heard great things. Ordered 2 plaice which were cooked specially.Got back and mine was cod. SO much batter on both, and hardly any fish. So surprised. What a let down. Quite cheap but I know why! Extraordinary.

Disappointed…. Really looking forward to fish and chips here, but didn’t deliver, chips were nice though, a little dry. Fish was small and had so many bones in it really put me off and was left with a greasy film in my mouth. Shame

This is still in my mind one of the best fish and chip shops in the world. A family favorite for more than 4 decades, standing in it's famously long queue only improves the taste of the fish and chips in my mind. The fish is fresh, the batter delicious and the chips perfectly chunky. Best enjoyed on a warm day on the beach or with a pint of Adams on the tables outside of the pub next door. An unmissable Suffolk eating experience.

The food was fresh and very tasty. We enjoyed our food sat at the beach. The curry sauce is quite good!

Excellent fish and chips, good service, and reasonably priced.

The best fish and chip spot in aldeburgh in our experience, we always stop off here on our day trips and it never disappoints !

Best fish and chip shop around. Queues can be long but move quickly. Be sure to check opening hours.

I saw this place was highly rated so I went to check it out. There was a massive queue of locals outside so that was a good sign. Being used to London prices I was shocked when my cod, chips, mushy peas and can of drink came to just £11.90. I sat in the nearby beach to eat it. It was delicious and totally warrants the high ratings. Found a few bones on the cod so be careful of that. Definitely would go back here if in the area again.

Great fish and chips - just have a drink in the pub let the que die down and make your move!!

You may very well have to queue up here but its worth it. Not overly expensive compared with other places I've been to. Has an agreement with the pub next door to allow it's customers to use their benches.

Cracking fish & chips some of the best I've had in ages. With a que outside the shop that gives you an indication of the quality of the food.

Great chips! Pub next door allows you to sit in the pub garden as long as you buy a drink.

We fancied a classic chippy for dinner one evening and had heard good things about Aldeburgh Fish and Chips during our last holiday in Suffolk. When we arrived, we saw the queue was flooding out of the door and took this as a positive sign. I will start by saying that the staff here are absolutely lovely and were really helpful whilst we were there. They gave us lots of advice on how big the portions were, etc. I couldn’t have asked for more from them. However, the food was a different story. The chips somehow managed to be both soggy and hard all ant the same time. Also, the scampi was quite tasteless. There were also no gluten free options available which was a shame.

A must visit for when in Aldeburgh! Food is amazing, good prices and friendly staff. Been coming here for years now, and never had a bad meal. Watch out for seagulls if eating on the beach though! They love it too! 🤣

Speedy service, there is always a que because they are so tasty. Decently priced for the size as well. You can go to the pub next door and buy a drink to enjoy your fish and chips.

Worth joining the queue. It moves swiftly. Very efficient fryers. Good fish tasty batter.

In the words of Tina Turner, simply the best !! You can sit in the local pub garden and enjoy your chips as long as you buy a drink !

We sat outside it was very nice just had fish no chips fish was lovely and a nice lemonade.ftom pub next door

Always amazing fish and chips It would be crazy not to come here if in Aldeburgh

Best fish & chips we’ve ever had, curry sauce was unreal 😍

We picked up cod + chips and battered sausage + chips to eat on the sea front. The food was lovely and the portions were spot on

Excellent fish and chips. There was a queue but it moved quickly

Best fish and chips in East Anglia!! Absolutely no faults. Can't wait to go back!

Always a queue - which is a good sign. Fish was fresh cooked & very tasty. Extra scraps too!!

Best fish & chips around, also amazing batter scraps!! 😋

One of the best fish n chip shops in the UK. The queue says it all but don't be put off. Always a lovely buzz to this place food is fresh hot and cooked to perfection 👌

Medium fish was tiny, full of bones. Chips mediocre, full of bits and tasteless. Not a patch on the little fish & chip shop in Southwold. Never again!!!

Day trip to Aldeburgh stopped for lunch at the Upper deck Wonderful food our fish was delicious and so fresh. Wish we lived nearer to call it our local Eatery You won't be disappointed

The best around, nothing else to say

Very nice place to get your fish and chips, well cooked and crispy batter.

Excellent large Haddock and Chips to share

best fish and chips worth the wait

Chips were good but the cod was not. Grey in colour and full Of massive bones. Not the experience I was led to expect. Very disappointing- I’d rather they got the fish right!

Used to be the best fish and chips by country mile - now the worst . Undercooked chips that tasted burnt. Won’t bother again as was repeat of previous experience when didn’t review as thought one off bad experience . Have been coming for 50+ years as live local , no more .

Had heard good reviews of their fish and chips. We have to report it was disappointing to say the least. We had large haddock and cod with chips which were cooked to order. The batter on the fish somehow managed to be both solid and flabby at the same time and was so thick it had little fish inside the fish itself was dry . It was bland to taste and completely unappetising The chips were just passable. Needless to say we wont be going back

Decent chippy. The Cod and Chips was reasonably priced (and much cheaper than the ripoff Fish and Chips in Seahouses). The fish was well cooked, nice light batter and not too greasy. The chips were OK, fairly well done and not too many soggy ones. Staff were friendly and efficient and service was good.

Good prices, excellent service and tasty food. Loved my fish cakes. Good size portions, we had enough even for seagulls 😁

Quite nice, but come on, it's fish and chips, 2 things fairly bland without salt and vinegar. I queued 45 mins, 43 mins too long.

Best fish and chips for many miles. Not anymore , no medium haddock so we paid for large ! Well they were medium at a large price . The batter was undercooked , the first time I have ever thought that wasn't great. Chips were O.K. You need to up your game, all in all not great. Shame!

Always busy, but get customers served quickly. Nice food and reasonably priced.

Not impressed, we ordered two separate chips orders seemed to be paired together, no indication that chips are cooked in beef fat which is not going to be suitable for vegetarians or vegans the fact this was not advertised was just disappointing

10/10 fish and chips. Yes there will be a queue but 100! worth it, can not wait to return.....

A wonderful fish n chip takeaway. The fish was superb and really fresh! Even better is to eat them in the pub garden next door with a beer!

Fish was dry and too much batter, disappointed.

Best fish chips ever no hav not changed still as good as ever

Amazing fish and chips. Had to queue a bit to get in but the queue moved fast and it was completely worth the wait. They do kids sized portions too which is great!

Sublime fish and chips. We’ve been coming here for near on 30 years and always look forward to the fish and chips, oh and the curry sauce.

Excellent fish & chips on Good Friday. Remarkable that there was such a small queue. It had all been freshly cooked so was piping hot. Gorgeous batter on the fish, all five of us had the cod. We walked next door to the White Hart outside area & washed it down with a few beers. A delightful way to spend the afternoon.

Best Fish n Chips we have ever had without doubt and we will continue going back. It’s a must visit whenever we have family and friends to stay and is always a big hit with everyone. Beware that due to the popularity there is always a sizeable queue at opening time, but it’s definitely worth the wait! There is no inside dining but they also own The Golden Galleon down the street which has a restaurant upstairs.

Had fish and chips from Golden Galleon on the Monday and they were gorgeous! Just a nice amount of chips and fish cooked lovely. At aldeburgh fish and chips, a lot of the potatoes used were bad, a normal sized portion and the fish was dry not overly impressed

Superb haddock and chips at a very reasonable price. Strongly recommend.

Been coming back to Aldeburgh since 1970, always the best

Lovely fish & chips, only thing they dont do pickle onions, and the lovely pub next door, which also takes, CASH,

This was the worst fish and chips we have had! We had the same the week before and they were gorgeous. Again, not good enough for the expensive price we paid for them and i couldnt even eat mine, so dry! Hardly any chips either.

Elite fish and chips... what else can I say?

Terrible. Not impressed - 5th time I’ve been so given it a fair try. Chips were dry dehydrated not nice at all. Fish small for the medium portion. Wouldn’t return again. See pics below

Fabulous, the best in town, always a queue so be patient and then enjoy, yummy. We always use this place and always take visiting family with us, it's a must do thing when in Aldburgh.

Perfect fish and chips. Great price.

Waited around 30mins on Boxing Day but worth the wait. £16 for two medium cod and a large chips. So satisfying to eat at the freezing beach after a big walk.

I doubt we will be there again, two lots of fish and chips were very poor value for money. my wife’s piece of fish was pretty much inedible, huge amounts of bone and a hint of ammonia, she left 95%.of her fish. Mine wasn’t so bad an average amount of bones and I covered it with brown sauce so I didn’t detect get any ammonia smell. so all in all a very costly fish and chip treat for us.

Had some lovely fish and chips here yesterday. Very hot and cooked to perfection.

No que outside on a Saturday lunch time, this should have been our red flag. I had a 'medium ' cod . Loads of batter & not a lot of fish. I shared chips with hubby who got a ' large ' cod. I feel as it was towards the closing time I got the dregs . No where as good as it used to be I'm afraid.

Best fish n chips I’ve had in a long time 🤣

Not sure what the hype is. The chips were ok, but not that 'oh my these are amazing' chips. Perfectly acceptable though.

Absolutely cracking fish and chips and everyone knows it! Be prepared to queue, particularly in the summer. But it's absolutely worth the wait!

Foods always lovely, the portion sizes aren't as big as some other chip shops but there's plenty there for me.

So looking forward to our Fish & Chip supper, but it was oh so disappointing. Started with the rude, abrupt lady serving, who almost threw our order at us. Sneered when we asked “do you serve takeaway tea” Greasy odd taste which now I’ve read other reviews presume is because cooked in beef fat. Felt instantly sick after eating. What a shame after friends recommended so I didn’t bother looking at Trip Advisor first ! Now I can see so many bad reviews I wish I had looked.

The best fish and chip shop in the world

Best fish and chips ever, no wonder there's almost always a queue. Bonus that you can sit in the courtyard at pub next door to eat them, provided you buy a drink from said pub.

I know this review probably means absolutely nothing to these people because they are popular. It makes me sad that they offer nothing if you are gluten free. Aldeburgh fish and chips need to take a look at Salt and Malt who only do gluten free batter and you can’t tell the difference. They need to up their game and be inclusive.

Fish bony and undercooked Chips undercooked Person serving couldn’t count to 4 and needed my help to get the order correct Only thing going for it is that it’s in a good location and is pretty cheap. But then the portion sizes are an absolute joke. Battered sausages are 3-4”. A large chips is roughly about half the size of a normal chip shop. Yet the queues are huge.

Fantastic chips. Some of the best I've had. The service was something totally different. A young Asian girl was serving, and to say she's was abrupt and rude is an understatement. No please. Thankyou, and almost threw the bag towards you. Fantastic food spoiled by bad attitude. Perhaps a bit of customer relations training would be appropriate 🤔

Extremely busy, but worth the wait. Excellent fish n Chips. Service fast and efficient. They have it nailed!

We went here one evening during the Aldeburgh Food Festival (held in Snape Maltings). Fish and chips were great and the pub next door is very convenient for you to sit and eat whilst having a brilliant Adnams beer. Heaven.

Great value and fantastic taste, right next to the beach... Worth the queues!!

We'd read about the quality of the fish and chips here, so decided to visit. The quality was absolutely first class, and the only reason I haven't given a 5 star is due to portion size. The batter on the cod was light, crispy and non-greasy. The chips were probably the best I have ever had, again without a drop of grease. When we'd finished eating out of the paper there was barely a spot of grease. My only other gripe was I ordered and paid for x2 cutlery sets but did not receive them, even though I'd asked if they were in the wrapped meals.

We had sausage and chips, although it was not busy no one else in there we had to wait at least 10 minutes. The staff were not very pleasant and the food not very nice. The chip portions were small also A few days later we went to the other fish and chip shop on same road, on opposite side of street and it was delicious and staff pleasant.

Best in the biz! Haddock is so delicious

Best cod and chips I've ever had. Highly recommended

Top notch cod and chips - medium portion is a decent size. Lashings of ginger beer. Reasonably priced, take away to eat on the sea front.

Amazing fish and chips. Beautiful chips. Perfect sized portions. Perfect cod.

Great fish and chips in a gorgeous location. We love Aldeburgh and it was such a treat to enjoy fresh fish and chips last weekend overlooking the sea. We queued for nearly ten minutes but service was prompt and food was hot and delicious.

Great food queued about 5 minutes to opening. Chicken nuggets took a while but all other items were available and ready to go.
