Barberry Fish Bar in Cherwell

Delivery time when you order is really inaccurate. Expect at least double the time stated when ordering. When you then phone the restaurant as your food is quite a bit late, they always say it’s just left the restaurant. You then end up waiting ages again, often receiving cold food. Get your microwave ready!

Excellent take away fish and chips, the best in Oxfordshire for sure!

Everything was hot and fresh and delicious

Excellent fish and chips, never had a bad meal in 4 years of going

We loved the fish and chips from here, really some of the best I have ever had. It was super to have gluten free options available too. This is a family business and you are treated like family. It is high quality, fresh food that will leave you feeling great! Portions are substantial. Thank you!

Fried Chicken very yummy and juicy

I am a coeliac and find it hard to find a fish and chip shop that you can 100% trust. This fish and chip shop is absolutely 1st class. The fish is large white cod and the batter is the best I have ever tasted. The chips are just like chips not over fried and tasting of oil, and the mushy peas are the best. They even have gluten free vinegar. The manager is George, the people that work for him are helpful and polite. My tip to any fellow coeliacs is to ring your order through first as they do get busy. Today I didn’t and was served straight away waiting time was about five minutes.

Really impressed with their chicken donner and chips meal. For £6 you get a massive portion! Chicken tasted lovely with some added spices, garlic sauce was good too. Can't fault it!

Very good fish and chips. I don't know what they put in the mushy peas, but WOW. Greeeeeeeen..... 😁

Food is good but despite having lots of customers they never have the food ready. You can sit for up to 15 minutes waiting for them to fill your order… Unfortunately I should be moving my business elsewhere

Hours have changed, got caught out a little with that but waited till 4.30pm till they reopened and got fresh fresh fresh chips and battered sausage! As Chippy’s go, this is the best in Bicester!

Just had five haddock and chips delivered. Delicious and well within the hour specified!

I ordered online for my kid's, I was so surprised to see gluten free options (I'm celiac) the food was delicious I ordered GF mini cod and chips for myself and had no reaction, this shows care is taken when preparing for dietary requirements as my food was perfect. My girls had the kid's fish meal and ate every bit. Great value for money. I highly recommend thus chip shop and will now only treat my family to a fish dinner from here (and I can join them)

Ordered 3 lots of cod & chips and once opened one of them was off, out of date, smelt like a fishmongers. At these prices food quality should be 5* won't be coming back.

Twice I've had the £7 lunchbox deal (mini fish , sausage,chips and a side sauce) great value and great taste. Keep up the great work!

Average chip shop, stale chips and cold mushy peas. Looks the part though

First class fish and chips . Service and delivery

Still consistently good. Avoid the roadworks at all costs at the moment!

Great fish and chips, kebab decent too

We ordered delivery out to a local house. It arrived on good time, and the fish and chips was good. Everything you could hope for from a fish and chip takeaway.

Hands down best fish and chips in Oxfordshire maybe even south east very clean very organised and they all seem to be passionate and you can taste it in the food... Keep up the great work

Been coming here for years and it’s always been packed. Always a good sign.food has always been hot, tasty and fresh. Can’t complain. One thing I did notice this evening on a Friday…. Whilst waiting for some fried chicken to cook, there was a 5 minute window when it went quiet. Every single staff member(maybe 8 of them) was doing something productive whilst waiting for new customers. Cleaning the tops, filling the vinegar bottles, bringing box’s to the counter. Sweeping up. Etc. Well done employees. Myself as a multiple business owner. It looks absolutely fantastic and the boss should be proud. Great stuff.

Best fish and chips for miles and the service is always first class. Being able to book online then collect is a great option too.

Service was great but sadly the chips not so much this time. Lots of rather small bitty chips along with a few proper sized chips, most of which were not quite as well cooked as one might expect. I also had a burger which was nice enough, ok but certainly nothing special. Overall not a terrible experience but somewhat disappointing as I used to consider this to be one of the best in bicester.

This has been my favourite fish and chip shop for over 15 years! It's so good that we make a point of going there when we visit our daughter who still lives quite close, even though we moved 3hr drive away 9 yrs ago! Still not found a better one! Ps Must try the chicken kebab meat with chips!

Decent place for a quick meal to take away, been going back now and again for over 10 years never had a problem.

An overpriced below average chip shop. The fish was very oily and flavourless. Chips was not any better. Gravy sauce was very average. Wouldn't visit again.

What an amazing group of people after ringing around almost all the take aways within 4.5 miles of the layby i am stuck in these guy promptly delivered with out moaning. The XL Kebab was one of the best i have had(and i have had a fair few) the chips were perfect and the burger was excellent. Will def be calling them again.

Absolutely shocking pricing for what you actually get, the cod is not very nice, me and my colleague both went home with a bad belly.

Very busy which is always a good sign. Working in Bicester I popped in for fish and chips. The lady who served me was particularly friendly, the fish chunky and beautiful and a good portion. Would definitely go again

Very busy on a Friday evening, however food came quuckly, service was good and portuims were big

Normally excellent service but unfortunately this evening 14/08/23 my daughter placed and collected an order only to find part of the order missing.I returned with my daughter to point out the fact that part of the order was missing, only to be told by Nicky one of the staff on duty that it was 100% correct when she packed it and accused my daughter of telling lies in front of other customer's. Please check your orders when collecting the way that this was handled was very badly and Nicky especially needs to work on her customer service.

I am not normally one to post and a formal complaint has been made too, but I am so upset and so shocked at how I’ve just been treated. I just want to raise some awareness and remind everyone to just be kind because you don’t know what that other person is going through. I did an online order to collect dinner at barberry fish and chips on bure park tonight. My family have always used them and they’ve always been very good with both service and quality. We got home and one part of the order was missing, it was my main and I was so looking forward to it, so back we go. However, the attitude I was greeted with! The member of staff called Nicky kept saying to other staff “ I 100% made the wrap, I 100% put it in the bag” and kept talking about me infront of me as if I couldn’t hear. Now as someone with autism and anxiety it took a lot of guts to even go back and ask. So I turned around and spoke up and said “you may have 100% made it but mistakes happen and it’s 100% not in our order. I am not a liar”. Nicky then turned around and said “it’s rude to be a liar”. Well thank you for ruining my evening Nicky. Thank you for making me now even more anxious, knocking my confidence and self esteem even more and unlikely to be able to do things alone by myself like collect orders until I’ve built up my trust and confidence again. Again, all I’d like to say to Nicky and any shop staff is to not talk about customers right in front of them and to remember people have a lot going on. You don’t know who is autistic, who has severe mental health concerns, and other extra needs or even who is just having a hard or bad day! So please just remember to be kind to everyone as you don’t know what people are going through.

Very good fish and chips available here. Can be very busy at peak times so expect to wait a bit.

Not cheap but good quality apart from a long frizzy black hair wrapped around a few chips which put off the meal.

Absolutely amazing! Food came in good time and hot! Really yummy! Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

Very nice fish and chips. So filling. Chip shop very clean and looks amazing

Dropped in 5pm on a Friday, very busy as you'd expect. However, I had paid for my three meals and back in my car in what felt like 5 minutes. Great food, expensive yet reflected in the portion size. Speedy service given the time of day. Nowhere else in the area comes close.

The food is freshly cooked and absolutely fantastic, very good portions as well. Chicken was the tastiest ever, hot and delivered in environmentally friendly paper products. Shop looks always immaculate, clean. Highly recommend!

Ordered on line for 6.30 pick up still waiting 6.55 everybody else been served in end had to leave as had work appalling service will not be returning again no point having online and pick if can’t honour times

Fab fish and chip shop, so fast and efficient that last time got my order wrong 😅

Great food and the service is very good even if they have a long queue it is well worth the wait and they do have very fast service so the wait is never very long

It's always busy so often there's a bit of a wait. But we're talking ten minutes max, and that's surely a testament to the quality of the food, right?! Update: there's no queuing system. Like a rail or something. The door is central so it's not clear which way to go, or how to queue. There was a misunderstanding today, and I stepped in to resolve it. Was I aggressive? I didn't think so, but felt super uncomfortable afterwards. Ruined the experience to be honest. Would appreciate some sort of system or direction.

Great tasting food, quick service and pleasant staff.

What delicious salmon steaks here, just super!

Loved it, great fast service, hot food and nice amount of salt and vinegar. Good portion size for price.

Very nice fish and chips - busy because it was a Friday but very quick after ordering.

Food is great, staff are friendly, definitely one of my favourite takeaways 🙂

Great chip shop! Definitely best in Bicester. Food is always hot and stays hot, no plastic wrappers, great tasting chips with good portion sizes and a great selection on the menu. All food is nice and the staff are very friendly. Prices are good too.

Best kebabs in Bicester so tasty! And friendly staff. Just pure Quality 😊😊🥰🥰

Absolutely the best fish and chips in the UK!

Fantastic kebabs, large portions, and great service all round

The gluten free food we had was excellent highly recommend it

Always great fish and chips excellent

Best fish and chips in Bicester and Oxfordshire..!!!

Great food! Friendly service! If you could pay a visit.

Service was good ordered large cod was mostly batter poor value

The place looks clean and the staff were friendly. We ordered fish and chips. The fish had a nice flavour but the chips were very greasy indeed.

Was a great chippy now waaaaay over priced. Price also differs between in shop and online ordering, then a hefty delivery charge to boot. Shame won't be returning. Its just fish and chips not gold come on guys.

My packed order didn't include the 2 bottles of soda ordered.

Haven’t been to this fish and chip shop for quite awhile so we called here tonight . The fish was cod and it was so dry and chewy I had to leave it . Probably the worst fish I have had to date looked like it had been sat for a while . I know not to use again as it wasn’t worth the money

Proper good fish and chip shop but got a pickled onion instead of a pickled egg...

Just had a large cod and chips and it wasn't very good, the fish which is now very expensive was a long but very slender fillet, more like a mini fish, definetly not worth the money. The large chips was plentifull but made up of 40% tiny chip bits, it can't be that hard to sort this out before it gets to the fryer, all in all not worth the money which is such a shame as this used to be the chip shop in Bicester.I won't be using them again!

Excellent service Even came back and redelivered my sons order as he was given something else by mistake. Lovely people friendly Always go to these

Always great food and super nice staff

Great food every time.. Friendly staff. Service very good.

Probably the best fish and chips in Bicester.

Outstanding fish and chips, excellent service and a decent price. Fish was huge, and this was just the medium. Well done!

All food here is super! Hot and freshly prepared, generous portions and great prices! Thank you

Well presented shop. Fish and chips needs to worked on.

Very nice fish and chips but also serves other food. Clean and tidy and always friendly.

Best in Bicester by far! Fabulous food and fabulous delivery service, always on time!

Great tasty fish and chips for tea yummy

More than enough chips for £1.60

Hit & miss but when they are good they are great.

Gluten free menu is not gluten free. Perhaps the batter is technically gluten free, but there is some cross contamination somewhere as I had symptoms afterwards.

Voted the best fish and chip shop in Oxfordshire

Haddock and chips take away. Cooked to order, excellent especially as 20 minutes before closing. Good portions and fresh fish.

Would be cheaper to catch your own fish, far to expensive

Since the loss of The Codfather van from Ambrosden I've preferred tracking them down to eating local but Boris' restrictions aren't supportive of that for a few weeks...so I've bought from Barberry a couple of times recently - foods ok as it has been throughout my 13 years of Bicester life BUT I hadn't seen the price hike coming ...eight or nine pounds for a fish and chip supper seems like a significant rise during the pandemic...has Rishi introduced a fried food tax that I've missed?

Food is fresh and plentiful. Even when we went late it was good

Best fish and chip shop for miles and miles around. Have got so many friends and family going there now as we introduced them to it.

George & his team will look after you best place to go for your fish & chips.

Love the taste and portion sizes 😋

Best Fish and Chips for miles around

Get the mini fish if you don't want a ton of leftovers. Perfect for a parent and a child who only wants the chips.

Usually very good but tonight our food was on the cool side. Disappointed after last week having such a lovely hot meal.

My new favourite fish and chip shop in Bicester, its 2 mins fromm house do thsts an added bonus. The service is lightning fast and the food is brilliant. For me, the best chips with cheese in town. Well worth a vist

We popped in as we have not used it for a while, as it was good previously. Service was quick but found the reason for it when we got home. The Fish and Chips were very greasy and Scampi appeared to of been reheated / blanched with our children not wanting to eat it. It appears that speed has taken over from quality so hope they can find their way again.

Staff are very polite, all adhering to Covid-19, my main dissatisfaction was the size of a large cod, I would say it looked very undersized and a bit greasy in comparison to other local chip shops but it was tasty.

Best fish and chip shop in town.

Great fish & chips from this take away they even do gluten free 😁

Always reliable chippy, have used them for years, trying out others in bicester every now and then to see if they are still on top, which they are. The queues at the door show how popular it is so recommend the online ordering service, simple to use and saves hanging around outside or get it delivered. Chips are never soggy and the batter on the fish is excellent. All the usual extras are available with kebabs (really good) and chicken which I haven't tried. Don't want to cook but need to be careful with cash in these crazy times, have a chippy tea from here

Just ordered a mixed kebab asked if it was chicken shish and lamb so I asked for donner meat aswell. BBQ sauce chili sauce chilli peppers and salad. What I got was dry bland Donner meat no chicken no lamb no chili's no chili sauce, tomatoes were horrible tasted off, nearly a whole onion which I guess you expect cuz all kebab shops seem to do it but still. Will not be going back

Fabulous chips as always. Freshly cooked every time.

Pre-ordered the food and it was ready when I arrived. Food as always top quality.

i have been a few times to get a kebab which isnt too bad but everytime my food is being prepared it is been talked over with no mask so i shall not be going back there again

Great place for fish and chips etc.. But you do have to que, do get your food quite quickly.

Quick efficient service is a very clean and modern place. Very Covid friendly. Food was good but I got the end of a chip run.good portions and nice pies. Mushy peas were a strange colour of green

Great value, lunch special is well worth it. I defy anyone to finish the large chips, easily feed a family of 4
