Appleton Gate Fish Bar in Newark and Sherwood

have been going for many years, they have always been very good. place clean and staff polite. fish shop just out of town, but worth a visit. thankyou to all staff.

Always great fish and chips and staff are so quick and efficient

Didn’t feel the lady behind the counter was very friendly

Beautiful food, just was a little confused s to who was going to take my order, but the fish is awesome..

Best fish and chips in Newark, by a long way.

Great fish and chips here. Still is good fish and chips.

the loveliest workers and the food tastes amazing.

The best fish and chips in Newark bar none, always hot, tasty and above all proper chips.

The best thing about the cheesy chips I brought from here was the sachet of tomato sauce to go on them! I visited on a Friday lunchtime so you would expect fresh, boiling hot chips. Nope. The chips were cold and didn't even melt the cheese. The chips were also hard and tasted funny. What a waste of money.

Nicely cooked non oily tasty fish and chips

Friendly staff , fish cooked to order . Absolutely gorgeous chips 🍟

Excellent food and plenty of it

The only good chip shop in the town centre (as near as you’re going to get atleast) Friendly staff and good prices.

Got to be the best fish and chips in Newark . Go in a little early as there is generally a queue. Street parking available on site . Go and try it you won't be disappointed.🐳🐳

been to quite a few fish and chip shops but this one is by far the best, everyone is polite and helpful, don’t go anywhere else now. no where else meets there standards! best chippy in newark

Awesome tea, the fish was just as I like it and couldn’t fault the Kebab as I had to finish the missis as it was too big for her

Looks lovely given wrong order no curry source. But got a onion ring.

Been a while since I ordered here. It hasn't changed, chips are fresh and hot, the fish is great and the service is good too.

The food is mediocre, the staff are awful! The young girl, she's maybe about 16ish years old she's very polite.. but the other two older ladies are rude as hell. Esp the woman who has no teeth. She has poor hygiene and even dropped the tray on the floor and proceeded to use it and then got pissdd off when I asked for a new/clean one that hadn't been face down on the floor. But like I said, she has terrible hygiene herself so I truly don't think she understood why it would bother someone. They really are incredibly rude in there. The owners really should get new staff. The fish had a weird taste and the portions are incredibly small with high prices. Wont be going back again.

New staff getting into the busy, busy of Appleton's, doing really well 👍🙂

Chips have always been good from here

DELICIOUS!!!! Big portions and Very good service

Very disappointed all the chips was hard and cold Last week they was perfect absolutely yummy .

First vist , nice service and food . Will use again..

I've been looking to find a good chippy in Newark and have tried several. It wasn't until my neighbour who works at NNG station brought me sausage and chips one night from Appleton Gate Fish bar that I realised this is the one for me. Tried it again and found the chips to be excellent as well as the fish. Even though I've to travel from Farndon across town to get here, it is well worthwhile.

Not too bad at all for a chippy, prices alright and stay often lovely, wait times arent usually big either

Now this is a good chip shop. Clean, quick, friendly extremely good value and very good fish and chips to boot..

I think these are best in Newark

Lovely fresh fish cooked to order. Generous portions. Served by friendly staff.

Best fish ive tasted in a weee while

Excellent service and very good food.

Fish cooked to order so very fresh. Big portions

This is the only fish and chop shop we use now in Newark. Everything is well cooked and delicious! The chips are fluffy but with a lovely colour on the outside.

In my opinion,the best fish n chips around. Freshly cooked and delicious.

Best fish and chips in Newark Always first class food.

Spot on as usual - never had an issue in the years we've been going here!

I don't live in Newark but most times I'm there around lunchtime I'll give them a visit and it's always top notch.

Amazing food.... Lived here for 14 years and didn't try it.... But the whole family loves it now....

Great food and great service. I look forward to getting doner meat and chips from them again soon!

Best fish and chips in Newark 👌

have been many time.meals are always very good.staff friendly and polite. you may wait a while they always seem busy.worth the wait.

Terry and his staff are helpful, and polite. Highly recommend

Have used this chippy for a few years and have usually found it to be ok. However my last visit left me with food poisoning. The fish I ordered left me throwing up all night and the next day. Not sure if the running of this chippy has changed hands recently, certainly the serving staff were different this time. Anyway regardless of this its safe to say I will not be using this chippy again. I only hope that the owners read these reviews and improve their hygiene standards before they really hurt someone!!

Best chippy I've been to in a long while. Friendly staff good prices

Have to place your order & pay but 9/10 times when they do your order they no longer have the items & you're offered alternatives

Great Fish & Chips, one of the best in Newark to be fair.

Great food, friendly staff and massive portions

been using this chip shop for over 25 years. not sure if it's changed management in this time but its always been consistently good

Ordered online using app, food was ready bang on time, very good quality fish chips n mushy peas, highly recommended, good value for money too

Beautiful chips great portion sizes

Ordered from here a few times now, always quick service, good food and big portion sizes

This has been our family favourite chippy for over 5 years nows, staff are really friendly and efficient! Food is always fresh and tasty, definitely the best chip shop in newark. Was nervous to go in due to covid-19 but all safety measures were in place, even had umbrellas outside for customers to use on rainy days what amazing customer service, well done to all the staff keep up the good work!

Excellent food excellent service

One star only because I can't give a zero. Only went to Appleton Gate fish bar as the reviews seemed positive. However, it was a disaster from the point of ordering. I asked for two haddock with small chips. What I got was two over cooked cod which made the flesh watery and mushy. The batter was as crispy as a wet bit of cardboard with the same flavour. The small chips I asked for was in fact two gargantuan portions, which I hear you say, I should be grateful for. Yes, if I was feeding the 5000. But it was just me and my partner in a campervan of limited space! No room for the Mount Everest of chips! So yes. Most of it ended up in the bin, adding to climate change destruction somewhere in the world..( that bit may be true but it was just artistic license). We did also get a pineapple fritter and prayed to all the gods that this small item would redeem this sad fish bar....unfortunately upon opening the wrapping paper a tsunami of grease exploded all over. Needless to say after forcing the well lubricated fruit down my gullet I felt a tad unwell. Hence this review. To warn others of a dreadful experience to be avoided at all costs!

The best fish and chips very tasty

We called in after 8 weeks of lockdown to find a new safe shop to get the best fish and chips in Newark. Great Kebabs, friendly service and always with a smile. Keep it local.

Perfect fish chips and peas last friday !!! Cod cooked perfectly!!!

Not bad but previous week the fish and chips were great. Let down on our second visit of 3 weeks ago. Fish was dry and not slot of it, chips too were dry.

I had add kebab and chips on a tray but unfortunately they was so much Grease it was dripping I could not eat any of it not use the chip shop ever again

Beautiful food and friendly staff

The fish or pie special is just the right amount of food that I'm not throwing away lots of chips!!! Georgina was cooking tonight and it was like old times where people used to be queuing out of the doors!!! I love this place and want nothing more than it to keep its reputation as the best chippy in town!!!

Fantastic place with excellent food, you always struggle on Friday evening, which shows how popular it is.

Used this place for many years whilst living just up the road so , after dropping off my son, thought I’d take the opportunity to return as it was always so good! It would appear to have changed ownership in the interim and I was treated to inedible food! The fish in particular was awful!! It had obviously been standing for some time and was cold, claggy and smelly. It was also thrown into the wrapping by the girl serving and broken into three pieces. Even my dogs wouldn’t eat it!! The chips also had been standing for some time and were lukewarm at best. At least the mushy peas were ok! Don’t think I shall be returning to this establishment when I’m next in Newark ☹️

Good chips! But god that chicken kebab meat nasty errr

Always has good quality cod n chips. A good selection of other food also. Very pleasant staff and will make you batter bits if none in fryer. Top class

Great food better than Mr. Chips 😊✌✌

Always tasty fish and chips, a lovely chippy :)

Great fish and chips and the staff are friendly

Great fish and chips. Great staff. Kebabs as well

Chips are disgusting every time I've been. Fish is OK. Staff are rude especially the young woman who spends alot of time flirting and joking like she is out on the town. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Food is excellent, good portion size of chips.

I have used this small fish bar for a couple of years now and have always been pleased with the quality and service. There is no seating it is 100% takeaway

I Normally go to the kebab house round the corner for kebabs, but was in the area and thought to give the place a try! the kebab was to die for! The owner said that they’ve not long changed their kebabs to a new brand... delicious! Don’t think I’ll be going anywhere else! worth the travel

Lovely fish and chips. The staff rather than the owners are sometimes a bit lacking in customer service, but that adds to the traditional chippy feel. The deep fried haloumi is a bonzer speciality.

Quite good fish and chips bit less batter would have got 5stars

Friendly and great fast service

In the area so though it was worth a try it was encouraging there was a small que outside the door I asked for fish but was told it will be sometime so opted for a chicken kebab and my friend had a lamb donner we got back in to the car and opened them to have a munch. My chicken was clearly old cold and lumpy my friends was cold and very uncooked it was very disappointing

Quite OK fast food next to the railway station.

Very well mannered staff ( Donna )to say Iam sure it’s her first night working there and the food was spot on 5/5 highly recommend

Was good, new owner cares about money more than quality.

Always packed out, sign of an excellent chippy!

Fish is hit and miss some time good other times not.

Best fish and chips in Newark town centre

Fish was lovely. Great chips too.

Always great Fish and Chips here. The chicken kebab is good too. There is usually a queue so everything is hot and freshly cooked.

Great food as normal shocking service lass behind counter would rather be out on piss

Local chippy, been our go to for years. Not cheap but consistently good, fresh, hot food.

Friendly staff and a fairly quick turn around from walking in the door to food in hand, the chips aren't too bad, neither are the prices, however I wouldn't order a saveloy, twice I have had one from here and both have been 'exploded' and mearly mush. They tend to do them on order in the microwave, so not exactly the best.

Probably the best chippy in Newark

The fish and chips were OK. Nothing special. The kebabs are terrible. Plastic sauces. Not fresh salad. Shame really. This has put me off donner kebabs.

Our first visit to this Chippy, but we will definitely be coming back. The Cod was cooked fresh to order in 7 minutes. We have to say they were up there with best we’ve had, freshly cooked, piping hot and really nice. Great friendly service.

I have never had good chips from here the few times I have been. Not sure if just unlucky but felt half cooked in old oil.

Fast service best chips in Newark

Never had bad food yet from here

Best in Newark by an absolute mile

Fresh good quality food. Friendly and quick service, treated like a regular customer even tho only visiting from out of town. Great value food with quality and quantity great for family meal times.

The shop is located between the station and the town centre, opposite Buildbase. It is a traditional chippy selling all you could think of including kebabs etc. It is almost always busy but worth the wait. It is a take away only, no seating and on a busy junction but there is normally a place to park to collect your food.

Food is good. Staff was brash, very busy though

Have been going there since I was 10 still enjoy the fish and chips

Recomendado por mi suegro, y no me decepcionó. No conozco los otros comentarios recientes, pero nos pareció que el pescado y patatas fritas frescas y sabrosas. 1 porción estándar de fichas suficiente para dos. Quizás el truco está a la espera de que fry a la orden como lo hicimos.
