Altrincham Fish Bar in Trafford

So-so fish and chips. Cod was a bit anaemic and the chips were undercooked. overpriced @ £13

Absolutely fantastic meal! The fish and chips were so fresh!

Walk in, take away order, simple chip barm £3.50! Chips looked under cooked, not crispy. No offer of free sauces. Very highly priced compared to other chippy's and other alternative food deals in other outlets.

I first ate fish and chips here in the sixties and the place looks pretty much the same as it did then. The fish and chips have always been of the highest quality. Today's visit is the first time I've been disappointed. First I asked if the restaurant was still open (I arrived about 2.15) I was told no, I wanna go home, by one of the two women serving. When I turned to leave, she said "I'm joking". I'm not complaining about that but not the best way to speak to customers. My fish was cooked well, but the chips were stale and dry. When I pay £14.20 for fish and chips and a cup of tea I expect freshly cooked food.

Always top quality fab food and service with a smile!👍 Karen is ‘simply the best’!🥳

Brilliant fish, very friendly staff

Excellent service and friendly staff and is the best chippy shop in the whole of Altrincham. Quality of the food is amazing 100% would recommend a trip to the restaurant and try there food you won't be disappointed.

The fish was over battered tasteless and overall uninspiring. Pet hate is fake ketchup on the table, why bother ? The girls serving were uninterested and inattentive. Overall better options elsewhere.

Food is delicious! Such lovely staff and atmosphere🥰

food is absolutely sensational and staff are top quality!

Standard of fish and chips was excellent tonight. We used to get our fish and chips from the good catch in Altrincham but that has disappointed last 3 times we have been. Although this was a little more expensive the difference in quality of the food was very noticeable. Would definitely recommend.

very nice staff 2 beautiful girls were very kind to me made me feel very welcome was also very nice and polite i recommend this wonderful place

I always pop in when am in Alty.Customer service is bang on. Large Sausage and Chips were yummy Will deffo be popping in again soon.😋

Don't buy if you are not hungry the portions are huge but the taste is fantastic

Fantastic old school proper chippy! Perfect chips, the best Holland pies and a cracking sausage and gravy! Boom!

Called to see this place had changed hands sadly very expensive not the best food I’ve eaten but like all quick buck not be going there again!!!

Absolutely delicious! Fish is juicy! Will definitely go again!

Excellent fish and chips, situated near Altrincham market

Piping hot ocean cruiser and chips on a soaking wet November afternoon, Can’t beat it.

Best chippy in Manchester. Old school style with really good quality chips, fish and especially the curry.

Nice fish and open on a Sunday. Probably more expensive than the local area but good value for opposite the market

Firstly, I asked for a simple order of a fish and chips and came out with a meat and potato pie. I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt just in case they had a busy day, which I highly doubt because it looked bone dry. Secondly the curly haired fella was being unnecessarily rude displaying no signs of formality. Thirdly the food was not the best tasting even tho I am a meat and potato connoisseur. Definitely do not recommend this place, 1 star review!

My username corresponds perfectly with this place i walked in and was smacked in the face by this overpowering stench. Food was nice although it was dry and had no texture also the service was horrible and was greeted in a horrible manor

Always a fantastic place to get fish & chips whilst in Altrincham. One of the few original fish & chip shops in the area always serving freshly cooked fish along with a wide variety of pies, chicken nuggets and accompaniments.

Had an early fish, chips, peas and cup of tea at about 4:30 pm on Friday. All fresh and nice. Understandably no longer a reasonably priced meal.

Not the cheapest fish and chips I have ever eaten, but the quality was very high indeed. The haddock, in particular, was absolutely beautiful. A case of getting what you pay for. The fixed tables are a bit of a squeeze for the less mobile and anyone with a serious disability would struggle. However, there are also tables outside on the terrace with tons of legroom. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Would be happy to go back any time.

we nearly walked past this place but oh goodness thank the lord we didn't, we sat in the dining room at the rear which is quirky and very clean. The staff are extremely polite and then there's the food, the chips were perfect, wonderful tasty chips the cod had just the right amount of batter and the cod itself was so white and lots of flavours. I will definetly return here stuff the waistlines life is way too short please go and enjoy this chippy you will not be disappointed.

We went as a family to sit inside on one of the big booths. The lady was extremely rude implicating there was no room for a pram. There were a couple of other families sat inside with prams already but rather than ask us nicely to leave this outside, she made it very clear that we were not welcome. On asking where she would prefer for us to sit, she was rude again and her tone very inappropriate in front of young children. She offered no alternative option other than for us to leave. This is not the first time we have encountered rude behavior from staff. It is a shame as the food is good but not worth the attitude!!

We popped in to get a snack between bars, the service was fast even though there was a bit of a queue. We had a regular portion, plus a pie and curry sauce amounting to £6. Which I think is a bargain to be honest! The chips were lovely and fresh, crispy with lots of salt and vinegar. The pie was a bit chewy but it was still nice. We had a little table outside which was covered by a canopy so was nice to have a sit outside and people watch - there was seating inside though. The place was very clean and the food very tasty. Defo recommended.

I visited today, Fish and Chips are very good , I was allowed time to look at the menu without being rushed to order. Customer service was Polite and Genuine . Thank you I will be back

Lovely fish, hot and well cooked. Great place to sit and people watch while eating lunch

Loved the fish, the fries, the lovely ladies who manage the place. Great value for money. The food was fresh, and tasted great. Definitely recommend this local diner.

Really fresh and delicious fish and chips. The mushy peas are also very tasty, but they use brown bread instead of white for their bread and butter and the butter is sparse. All in all worth a visit, but wrap up as it can be cold in the restaurant in the back.

We came to this place years ago and it was 5*we found it again last week and it was still 5*. It was delicious. We live in lytham but the drive out and the market and full atmosphere was fab. Keep it going your simply the best.

A cozy little fish and chips restaurant. The price point with what you’ll be getting is totally worth it. The fish were fresh and the batter was crispy. Highly recommend.

Had a great big freshly cooked haddock and chips as was recommended by the guy behind the counter. Perfectly cooked and crispy not too thick batter. Really enjoyed it. Cheeky curry, mushy peas & sausage on the side too 😋

Hot & delicious chips & a whopper sausage! (Miss Chilli helped a little of course). We had both been walking for almost 2 hours, so were ready for something hot. Mmmmm. Jo x

Great chips! Lovely staff, shout out to Karen.

A non fancy restaurant which also serves food to take away at the chippy counter. Fish always freshly cooked - so meaty and amazing batter. Chips fabulous and their mushies are just right! I come from London for these fish & chips - I have been coming here since I was a girl - now much much older!! Family run & has a real loyal following. You won’t be disappointed- I drool thinking about their food.

Recently increased in price - but you pay for what you get - tip-top!!

Until recently I have lived in the Altrincham and Sale area all of my life. I had no knowledge of this fish and chip shop until a recent taxi ride when the driver told me that this was the best fish and chip shop in the area. I always order two steak puddings plus chips and gravy. Whenever I visit Altrincham on a day trip from Conwy I call into the Altrincham Fish Bar. If everything goes to plan I will be there twice next month. I cannot wait!!!!!!!

Fantastic meal and great service. Left thoroughly happy with full bellys. Thanks

Fresh and tasty cant ask for more. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Just to let evryone no that lesley the little blonde woman that worked in here did not leave she was let go time was hard and we all agree through the pandemic but lesey had served 25 years at the chippy and was the life and soul of this place and to be let go after 25 years without a thank you was a bit disgraceful from Paul Mcdonald the owner and his son Anthony Mcdonald and then we later realised lesley was the only one to be let go from the chippy and we later found out that Anthony wudent let the other staff go Sharon because they was sleeping with each other so that covers her job like farther like son them to anyway both had countless affaires but just though I'd bring to evryone attention that lesley did not leave and ps karen that works the is most 2faced whale going ps they found rats in her coat so says summit about her personal hygiene 👍

Hot, fresh and delicious! As a veggie options are always slightly more limited at a fish bar but amazing chips, fabulous mushy peas and gravy - the first time I asked if the gravy was veggie I was presented with a catering tub of (veggie) gravy to inspect ! Always friendly, efficient and helpful. When I have dined with non-veggies they too have been very happy with hot fresh crispy fish.

Fantastic. Not too much fish (I'm easily overfaced), well cooked chips and not at all greasy. Superb.

The old Chippy , what can you say ,,,proper old school chippy . Nothing fancy just honest decent as it should be ..

A good fish supper at a reasonable price. Thanks.

Great food and service. Generous size fish and portion of chips. Properly cooked and warm. Reasonable eat in price or takeaway. Can sit outside for the sturdy. Would go again.

Absolutely fantastic food and service is exceptional, staff are out of this world regarding customer service. Always recommending it to everyone who enjoys a good chippy, good job 👏👍 I rate 5+ stars

My favourite chippy to visit. I've been going for 30yrs as my grandparents loved the place too. A family run establishment. The best fresh fish in Altrincham. Myself and my children love to sit on the front and people watch with fish, chips and curry sauce 😋.

Friendly fantastic fabulous food

The food as always excellent What is also impressive is the eco approach to all the containers and wrappings No plastic or polystyrene used

Best fish and chips in Altrincham.

Can't think of any better chippies than this one

Went there last saturday beautiful fresh cod crispy batter, perfect chips great price and able to sit outside in comfort altogether marvellous

First time visited this place on reccomendation of husband. My husband visited it with NHS staff and he really loved the food. He said he would take us one day. Me and my daughter ended up getting a takeaway for lunch as we passed by. The food is delicious. The fish was light and fluffy and the best I've ever had. The chips also really cooked well light golden not crunchy or mushy just right and not to oily. Perfectly made. Will come again with full family and they deserve 5*****

Amazing batter, tasty and fresh and flaky fish, perfect chips. Stopped by for a quick lunch today, and boy are we glad we did! The potatoes were of great quality = really tasty chips and the batter on the fish was not like the bog standard you get - it was almost like some sort of secret family recipe. Really tasty and not too dry or too soggy, just perfect. Very friendly staff. We wished we had this place around our corner.

As good a Fish and Chips as any , in fact better . I shall be calling again as soon as I am in Altrincham. Large portion , pricey these days at £7.50 , but that's it if you want genuine Cod and a good portion. Service is also first class too.

Absolutely the best chippy in the area by mile ! Love it !

Dispite the lockdown this fish and chips is open. Check the opening hours but on Friday and Saturday still open till 8pm. Wear a face mask please. I was served cod a cone of chips and mushy pea. £8. Excellent value and taste.

Hands down the best fish&chips in altrincham.

Good service and good fish and chips

Best fish bar in Altrincham. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Lovely fish and chips just hoe chips and fish should be really nice fantastic staff as well kind and helpful

Nice chippy and nice staff. Do the simple thing well.

Great tasting fish. Very convenient to order on line and collect at the specified time.

I have visited hundreds of establishments in my time but this is by far the best by a country mile, perfectly cooked every time and large portions you won't find better anywhere.

The best Fish and Chips in the land. Ever.

Thank goodness this fish bar has been able to reopen. Excellent food as usual. Had to try WA14 then Costas in the last two weeks when the Altrincham Fish bar was closed. The food at these two places was AWFUL.

I went there today 12/3/2020 .The food was disgusting.Definitely not how it used to be, the fish was out of a supermarket it was too uniformed in shape . The chips were soggy. The reviews this place has got are very old and anyone intending to go please don’t go by them , It WAS a good chippy but its gone to the dogs .That Anthony is out for big profits ,quality means nothing to him. DON’T go !!! Spend your £9.20 which includes a cup of lukewarm tea spilled in a saucer. Buck your ideas up Anthony and maybe you won’t have to open til 3pm. It’s just a backstreet grubby chippy

really nice food however chips were a bit dry

came for tea , quick and easy after a hard day at work , lovely staff and decent food. chips peas and fish went down a treat

Every Tuesday when I was a kid, me and my mum would get chips, gravy and fish bits, then sit on the bench outside the town hall and eat them. Today I'm 34, and in passing, thought I would go in and get chips and gravy. Memories came flooding back..... Delicious chips and delicious gravy. Even the lady with the blonde hair was there to serve with a smile just like years ago. Still a firm favourite of mine.

The best in the area. Awesome fish and perfect chips. The staff are brilliant and super friendly. Highly recommended!

Always loved fish and chips from Altrincham Fish Bar. Called tonight on the way home and the chips were awful, undercooked and greasy and went straight in the bin, the fish wasn't much better. This is the third time I've been disappointed. Won't be going again soon.

Best in the UK in my opinion. Worth the 3 hours from London!! Cosy, simple tight cafe - all cooked to order. Delicious!!!!

Great chippy, so easy taking the kids there, food freshly cooked and brilliant value

Great for take-aways, The Fish is always freshly cooked and the batter is light. Dining in is OK, albeit a little cramped.

I met my friend at this Fish & Chip shop for lunch .It was busy although it wasn't a proper market day . Everything was spotlessly clean . We had to wait for our order to arrive as it was cooked specially for us . I wish that they offered garden peas as well as mushy peas , as I was wanting a portion of each ! The food we had was delicious & we will be back again .

I never write tripadvisor reviews but I had to, just finished a cone of chips and they’re the best chips I’ve had since my Grandma used to make them for me! Absolutely perfect, keep it up 😊

Very good value & very freshly cooked food

First and last time of using this chip shop. Poor food, tasteless and made me feel sick very quickly. The service was unfriendly too. Plus it was a rip off in comparison to other local chip shops. Never again.

Just strolling round looking where to eat prior to ice hockey and stumbled on this chippy late on a Saturday afternoon. With closing time near....... staff were friendly and popped in 3 fish with a smile whilst going through their cleaning routine. Great fish n Chips and Great staff.We'll definately be back!!

Went on Sunday lunchtime, and had Haddock and chips, they were the best I’ve had in a long time! The batter was lovely and crispy, and chips just gorgeous, thoroughly recommend.

Lovely best place around. Never disappointed

Visited this afternoon with my Mother after being recommended to try this chip shop! Glad we did!!! Large portions, tasty fish and chips and very polite and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

I had SEA BASS ,CHIPS and PEAS (two pieces of fresh bread and butter)Very nice meal.The staff are nice.Just one quibble, the seats inside are fixed ,so there is not much if you are "BIG".I'll still go again though.

Fantastic tasty fish and chip's portion sizes and prices ould be better though

Got a group meals from here for our group today. Meals where all hot and fresh. We pre ordered and it was ready for collection on time, Thanks

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips - huge portions! We sat outside in the sunshine but sitting inside in wintertime with a pie, chips, gravy and cuppa is equally lovely!

Always great food and lovely staff

Freshly fried fish prices are super fair. Very tasty Wednesday special at 3.95 cod & chips, full size portions a gift.

Good fish and chips. Haddock only please, worth the extra quid like. Large chips to share always does it. Cans on tap and plenty of selection. Can sit in too if you fancy. Shuts at 8pm so get in by half 7, quarter to 8. Gravy over curry here guys....

Good food good service. Recommended

Nice place to sit down outside or inside good quality food and good portions,

Ordered cod fish and chips. Fish was decent but not outstanding. It's the chips upset the combo. The offer did not attract a return to this fish bar again in near future. There are better offers nearby.

I have tried various fish and chips around Hale and Altrincham. This fish bar is without doubt the best. They get their fish fresh from the market, their chips are equally fresh and cooked on the premises.

The best fish, chips, peas and curry you will find anywhere IMO.

Was out for a walk around an area that I didn’t know. It was cold and windy and myself , my wife and our dog were feeling hungry but we didn’t know where we could take the dog in with us to eat . The Altrincham Fish bar was close to our parked car so while my wife and dog hurried to the car I went inside the chippy to order some food. I was surprised to find a proper eating area at the rear of the property Anyway I ordered some fish pieces and chips to take back to the car . I had to wait a short while as they did the necessary frying while I waited . At least I knew everything was freshly cooked. They wrapped them up well , together with paper towels and two forks. The fish pieces were excellent, cooked to perfection and a lovely white colour . The chips were also very good. I would certainly recommend that you give them a try.
