Barnards Green Fish Bar in Malvern Hills

Used to be the best chippy in BG. Standard of food has really gone down. Chips barely warm, fish tasteless and overcooked or left sitting too long. Very disappointed. Staff are very polite though.

Amazing food stopped by for a nice bite to eat the person that served was very friendly. Will definitely be revisiting.

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips. The cod was amazing, thick and beautifully cooked. Please pay by cash so they can maximise their profits and minister the bank's.

Very disappointed with our fish and chips. The chips were pale and stuck together and the fish was so over trimmed it was a strange cylindrical shape. Tasteless, unremarkable fish and chips, but the worst thing was the price - £25 for 2 fish and chips! Maybe wouldn't have minded paying so much if they had tasted better.

Friday night so very busy, but worth the wait which wasn't long all things considered

We've been here a few times and it has been fairly good but this time the meal was awful. A "medium" mixed meat and chips consisted of undercooked chips (and not many of them so I wonder what small would be like) absolute mush for the chicken doner (if I was fed it with closed eyes I would have said it was cat food) and the doner meat was pale and tough. The staff were not the friendliest and one in particular (she knows who I'm talking about) could do with a course in customer service. That is the last time I will use this place and would certainly not recommend it, a shame as it used to be good, what happened ??

lunchtime fish and chips..... place needs a good clean and the order was not cooked fresh but out the hot counter and tasted stale as if it was last nights but it certainly cured my constipation. maybe leave it another 7yrs before visiting

Staff miserable and batter not cooked properly. Haven’t been here for years despite being on our doorstep. Prefer driving further to Yates Hay.

Haddock was first class, chips? well, maincrop potatoes are not good at this time of year but as good as you can get. Assume palm oil used in frying thus most chip shop chips are dryer than in the old oily days. Highly recommended and will return when visiting the area again. Service excellent.

Great fish and chips with a big menu, lots of choice. Few parking public parking spaces outside. Usually a queue inside with no seating.

Scammers Over charged £20 for pie and chips

Dried out chips, fish just about passable, though smaller than we had come to expect. Very disappointing compared to previous visits

Luke warm very dry chips. First time ever I chose not to finish a chippy. Have had great food here before but today was poor. Very disappointed

Hi , trouble is that most fish and chip shops , cafes etc are generally struggling in 2023 with the economy as it is. We have been using Barnard's Green Fish Bar for years. Is the chippie perfect , no but I have never had a bad meal and my only complaint is that the chip portions are to large.Chips will vary throughout the year depending on what potatoes are used. Please if you have had a bad meal phone them up and inform them you were dissatisfied with the meal. If you feel that you comments are not taken on board then take your custom elsewhere.

Fresh food, large protions - love it!

1st going there food was excellent 1st class chippy I'll be back

Very disorganized shop tonight.slow service and when I checked the order in the car before leaving they had forgotten part of the order. The chips were awful. Just a mush of potato stuck together. I have bought fish and chips from this shop many times and not experienced anything like this. It was Saturday 5th August. at 6.50.

Order incorrect (overpriced mushy peas somehow did a vanishing act after ordering). Service quite grumpy and no salt and vinegar on chips despite asking. Very slow wait (granted they were busy) and overpriced compared to alternatives nearby.

Never had such hard work trying to order chips.. obviously a new member of staff but come on guys train your staff and let them know to keep there attitude in check when dealing with customers at the very least! The pic shown is a large chicken and chips and you will see the lack of chicken and the chips for that matter in the pic. £8.70 for child's portions. Extremely inconsistent place.

Always reliable and great fish and chips never fail to impress

Good chippy with friendly staff. Fish was nice and crispy

Went to pay with a Scottish £20 note and was told that they don't accept them. Thought I'd fallen into a time vacuum and gone back 30 years. Clearly this chippy has not evolved. Get with the times guys, it's 2023!!!!!!!!

Amazing Gluten Free fish and chips. Phone through the order, and only waiting a few minutes to receive. Great understanding of coeliac so good has separate fryer, uses different utensils and placed in boxes in a separate area. They didn’t have GF vinegar, but did sell it, and wasn’t overpriced.

As a local customer I popped in and grabbed a cone of chips on the way back from the train station. The lady made them, added salt and vinegar, asked me to pay - and then refused to take a card payment under £5!! She pointed to hand made sign with a biro pen ‘min £5’ written under ‘we accept card payments’. Tbf I only ever spend £20 plus as I usually go for the whole family. So I was a little surprised to find in this day and age a minimum card payment. The fish is also cooked in large batches and left to dry out. I’ve been there on quite a few occasions where the fish has been a tail end and dry. I don’t understand why fish and chip shops can’t cook to order like down the coast. They clearly put profit over customer service and I shan’t be going back as there are plenty of other good chippies in Barnards green.

Exellent quality. Fish and chips

Nicely cooked fish and hot. pity chips were almost cold, would appear that they were standing around while fish cooked.

I have used this chip shop for as long as I can remember and it has always been amazing. However the last time I visited the service was slow and the staff unapologetic. I can cope with this if the food is good, but when we got home there was a hair in the food! Threw it away. Emailed chip shop twice and no response,hence this review.

Overpriced, small portions, had chips a couple of times and never great

Tail end chewy fish today rather than cod fillet as other people have said. Soggy Chips also. This is the second time we’ve had this since Christmas. It’s also the last time

I'm a regular. Can soneone tell me what's happened to portion sizes? Bought large cod and chips tonight, cod very very nice (as always), but really reduced amount of chips. Left wanting which is a first.

Crispy, crunchy and oh so good fish and chips.

We used to get fish and chips every other week on a Friday but the fish is far too unreliable - especially when you are a family of four and two get a decent piece of cod and two get flat tail ends that are over-cooked. People say things like get there early when it’s fresh etc but that’s nonsense. They should only be frying fillets of cod with decent thickness creating a good sized ‘flake’. I’ve had too many chewy tails now to ever return. If you are the sort of person who goes to a fish and chip shop (clues in the title folks) to eat ‘keebabs’ and burgers you might not notice or care about the fish but we do. Sorry - I used to sing your praises but not in recent years.

Consistently good quality fish and chips. Yes, the prices have increased, but it’s not their fault and they deserve to be supported in these difficult times. Still my favourite chippie in Malvern.

Most excellent fish and chip shop. Fresh fish, yum

Had 5 fish and chips, 1 pie and chips. £72!! Crazy times. Worst of all the fish was terrible, dry, flavourless, chips not much better either. I reckon £45 of it went in the bin.

Very nice piece of cod with good, crisp batter. Huge portion of chips - too much for me. Steady stream of customers on a Wednesday evening.

Fish not freshly cooked. Small chips only enough for a child. Tasted OK but nothing was that warm. Have had a lot better.

Been going to this place for many years, never had a bad meal, food always really fresh and tasty. However, ordered tonight and the portion size was very small..2 meals for over 20 quid and we were both still hungry after eating. Such a shame.

I personally won’t go to any other chip shop. Maybe more expensive then the other chip shops in Malvern but you pay for what you get. The food is great and is always hot and amazing staff as well 😊

The best fish and chips with fantastic service

Fish fantastic really fantastic, they have now improved the chips with different oil. I wouldn't of looked at it, but now they've improved the chips would gladly recommend them now

Was charged over £18 for 1 fish and chips 2 curry sauce 1 saussge and 1 fishcake was tasted ok but overpriced for what it was on checking their price list on line should have been around £15 if using check the price in the shop would not use again

delicious and on time delivery too my husband loves a kebab and he was delighted i had cod and chips and that was lovely too.

We have always had good fish from here but haven’t been for a while. Tonight we were a bit shocked by the price. Obviously prices have risen but it would be better to have smaller portions of fish and far fewer chips and reduce the price.

Beautiful food. Clean tidy and friendly staff. Will definitely be going back to the. For my fish n chips .

Absolutely shocking behaviour from the chippy ! Got a large mixed meat and chips and for £8:90 you get Absolutely no meat !! It's shoking ! Rang up spoke to the manager and was apauled at how he spoke to me , no manners and had no respect . Avoid this place if you want to waste your money 🙄!!!

As good as any in Malvern I havntvteally found a bad chip shop yet

Arrived an hour early, as said I had put through as ASAP order. Was told on way Confirmation on my order delivery between 18 10 and 18.30 not asap. Appreciate cannot change the order but arrived at 17.20 so, wasn't on its way when contacted, and actually cold. Not impressed. No one to eat them very disappointed use this chip shop every week

Tonight was dry cold steak and kidney pie definitely not a pukka which they used to serve . Luke warm sausage. Chips good . Seems now doing click and collect which slows everything down I mean if you can't go to the chippy an que how important must you be

Excellent fish and chips and lovely friendly staf 🤙😊

Not long moved to Malvern and this is the second time I have been here. Quality is consistent and food is lovely. Thanks.

It was ok. Had kebabs for me and the wife. The usual bulk fare from a chip shop. We ve had fish and chips recently too. They were ok too. You know what I mean.

Best chip shop in Malvern, in my opinion.

Best chippy in the UK. Reason I love it so much is because of Elliot (who deserves a pay rise) makes the finest chips I’ve ever put my lips around… 10:10

Been here a few times now, really enjoyed the chips 🍟 very tasty and fresh, the battered sausage was great and I'm told the fish was good as well

Excellent quality and portion size, although price paid did not not match price list on website (possibly needs updating with price increase)

Gorgeous. As proved by the queues Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.

Wow!! Our last night on holiday and we fancied fish and chips! We was so impressed with tonights take away from here. We ordered the mini fish and chips which was cooked fresh and was great value for money! It was easily enough for a small adult! We also had meat and chips which was equally as delicious! The amount of people coming in while I was there, you can tell this is the place to go!

Great Fish and Chip shop. Fast efficient service from lovely staff and fantastic food 👍

Best local fish and chip shop, no doubt. Wide range of food on offer. The fish and chips are superb. Prompt and covid-safe service. Gluten free fish and chips on a Friday and Saturday and have never given our daughter with coeliac disease any issues. Highly recommended.

One of best cod -chips and curry sauce ever, well done Al and all the great team you have.. 👍..

Usually good but not this time ! Lots of customers going through so no excuse for dried out fish. Plenty of chips but they weren't great either, pretty heavy going. Expensive now so I'll be going elsewhere until they've got their act together.

Service is good, food is yummy. Always enjoy the fish and chips with a can of Tango from here. Curry sauce goes down a treat too.

Fantastic food never had a bad meal yet

I really liked it - fish had a thin crunchy batter, chips were thick and potato-y. I prefer my mushy peas sweeter (less salt) but overall a very nice takeaway.

Had a choice of two other fish and chip shops including a mobile one at our campsite. So pleased I chose Barnards. The fish was beautifully cooked, the portions where excellent and the service was good.

Best tasting for miles. We travel 6miles each way for ours when we have a fish & chip shop 1mile down the road.

Great portion sizes, competitive prices and friendly staff, great place to go for a traditional fish and chips, great flavor too!!!

It was meant to be a treat... but was utterly disappointing in every way: mediocre, greasy, overbattered fish, hardly any salt and vinegar on the chips, 45min late delivery, but still had to pay for it ( and we're only round the corner) - Its not worth the money or even the effort to try again. Don 't know what's going on ... they used to do quite decent food.What a let down!

Great fish and chips. I'll be going back.

Great service from the team, and just as great food, particular fan of the Barnard's Green Specials, great value for money, also chicken Kebab meat is amazing, Great prices too.

Shows how popular this Fish Bar is when I waited in a queue of 30 when across the road in the other Fish Bar there was just 1 at the counter. Always worth travelling to if you want the best.

Awesome fish and chips and the best kebabs in town. Wonderful. And have managed through lockdown to stay open safe and friendly. Can't fault them.

Excellent chips and their fish are first-rate!

Decent enough portion and quality of chips. Would come here again.

I agree with most of reviews below, that this an excellent fish and chip shop. Massive portions, fish super flakey. Bit pricey but worth it. Re covid there was only one member of staff that did not have a mask, but they were behind a plastic divider, and there was a sign that asked only 3 customers queue in the shop. Another plus they had a box of umbrellas for us to use while we queued in the rain.

Great fish & chips at good prices

Whole family enjoyed extra large fish & chips, veggie burger salad chips & battered sausage chips for 2 adults 1 teanager 2 smaller children £ 22

Great fish and chips. Huge portions. Highly recommended

Probably the best fish & chips in this part of the world :) Freshly prepared food for very reasonable price and even though I'm not one of the "smaller" person, I've had a big problem to finish my cod with chips so it's definitely worth to wait few minutes during busy periods.

Recommended good fish and chips restaurant , large portions of chips and fish portions No haddock , but what we had was great value

Great Portions, tasty fish, good prices, good service. Good options to choose from, good deal on the Barnards Green Special too!

Best fish and chips in the Malvern area, always worth the drive to get them from here...

Super lovely service! We didn’t mind waiting the extra few minutes for fresh fish to be cooked as it was the best fish and chips we have had in the UK! Highly recommend

Fabulous food and great prices. Friendly staff

Had a fish and chip supper treat with my family and I have to say this was the worse fish batter I have ever had, I won't be ordering from there again.

First time used Just Eat. Fish and chips and mushy peas were superb- delivered on time and fresh and hot. Absolutly delicious. Thank you so much. My stay at home birthday present to my husband.

It was a Saturday afternoon really fancied a fish chips so I bought it at £8 wasn’t a problem as it’s always good but on this occasion the chips were really dry like there from nights before also the fish seems to have shrunk in size before it was really big but now a lot smaller than it was before. Hoping it was a one off even tho I was the only customer at the time.

Excellent food and delivery. Social distancing observed by delivery driver.

Was delivered on time and very tasty, all correct and enjoyable. What a wonderful change for us all to have take out food.

Had fish and chips from Barnards Green Fish Bar many, many times and has always been to a very high standard. Staff are friendly and courteous. Long waits on Friday evenings which is a testament to the quality of their food!

Best haddock I've ever had, lovely treat dinner

Saw the reviews and went for it I was just passing by but not a great choice... 1st I think he deep fried the burger and I was given no salad in it but eating it was sickly as the cheese was white and creamy with a soft deep fried patty.... Standard chippy chaps there is one down the road I wish I stopped at now and the price was a joke... Sorry but not great

Excellent service as always - we ran a charity event in Malvern requiring about 40 portions of fish and chips which arrived on time, delivered to our venue and stayed hot ready to serve. Totally reliable and very good fish and chips. Vince Conway

Best fish and chips in Malvern, very friendly staff!!

Great fish and chips. Fast service and great prices.

Best around you simply will not beat this Chippy for quality

Amazing Gluten Free fish and chips on a Friday and Saturday evening 😊

Organised a large group meal. Pre ordered and when I arrived it was all ready to collect and all individually labelled making it easy to dish out. Really good quality and service

Food is great but its like a rugby scrum to get served.
