Ambleside Fish Bar in Worcester

Food so poorly wrapped, the pie was out of its case and squashed over the chips

We usually go to Monarch Drive, but it was closed, so took a chance. Shop was busy, but working through orders quickly. I ordered cod and large chips, but the woman behind the counter told me that large chips will easily feed four, so I got regular. Cod portion was about 40cm long. Cod, chips, mushy peas, large gravy £12.50. Easily fed two adults. Very tasty, crispy batter, proper fat chippy chips. Only quibble is that "large gravy" is two small pots and when I got home one of them was curry sauce, but I ate it anyway. Will probably use Ambleside again.

If zero stars was a option I would this however isn't always the case we have been using the chippy for several weeks and always been served by kerry and she is 5 stars all the way but felt I needed to put this review as recently we went in and kerry wasn't in that day and was by far the most awful experience ever the woman behind the counter was rude and so unprofessional we ordered our food and she seemed to not understand exactly what we ordered at all and was more interested checking her mobile phone then actually anything else at all usually when we order a pie it is heat checked by kerry but it was just put into a wrapper and nothing else when it came to being told our order was ready we had 4 pies in a bag even though we had asked for them to be meals and to be presented with just 4 pies and no chips was the final straw when we asked where the chips was and explained to someone who works in the establishment who should grasp the concept of a meal it was like a inconvenience for her to do she threw what could be only classed as less then a cone of chips on a tray less food then a kid would eat not even asked if salt and vinegar was needed splashed it all over them and my youngest hates vinegar before leaving the queue was horrendous when we finally got back home to eat the pies wasn't exactly hot but we guessed cause all the waiting and faffing until following day when our youngest was sent home from school with a stomach bug and being sick alot due to something he had ate and we feel it could probably be from the pie that he had eaten that wasn't even temperature checked we usually love coming to the chippy when kerry is in but we won't even entertain going to use the chippy again if kerry isn't in

My husband has already put up a review but as I also experienced this appalling service and i felt I should also leave review the chippy without Kerry working there is the worst I have ever encountered the woman behind the counter was rude and incompetent to say the least not being able to firstly take a order or even do the basics of checking food temperatures was just completely unacceptable if it wasn’t for Kerry being there usually I would take my business else where

Last week I went in to this chippy and was serverd by a young girl with black hair today my dad went In for his normal fish and chips to be serverd by this girl again once again she got the order wrong and then my dad had to wait for extra chips because she only took for one chips this is not good for a business that had just reopened to have someone who doesn't know what they are doing this is a big estate and word gets around you will lose customers I will say the other girl that you have there the one with the purple hair is fantastic great service and fast she knows what she is doing so 5 stars to her brilliant work my advice is this other girl should not be serving will not be back unless I know I am serverd by the other girl and she is working . Poor service again today

Battered sausage was not cooked

It is a lovely place to get fish and chips from and the staff are realy kind they are always doing funny jokes with eachover overall its got a good everythink

We were in a hurry, late for lunch and passing by so we pulled in. Five minutes later we were carrying a scrumptious meal and we had massive smiles on our faces. Loved the place, the crew, the banter and the food.

Minted chicken???? Kinda weird and unfortunate.

Very clean and friendly fish and chip shop the quantity of food was amazing and also the quality, brilliant delivery service food was pipping hot

Lovely and friendly staff, very tasty and freshly cooked. Highly recommend!

Place looks smart but unfortunately can't comment on the quality or quantity as I found the price significantly higher than our usual. So we went to our usual.
