Portion is plenty. Had chicken that must be left over from lunch time served from tin rather fresh from the skewer. Chicken was dry and chewy and had to be thrown in the Bin

Ordered fish & chips for 3 plus child's chicken nugget & chips to take home in the shop yesterday. The chips for 3 were served in one helping instead of separately and were undercooked and soggy. Then, today, I checked my bank and find they have taken the £38 pmt twice! However, the service was cheerful.update: £38 was returned to my account within 24 hrs

Here are some tips to avoid inedible or tacky food: Don’t have the chicken from the “tin where pre-cut and kept warm”, my chicken was small dry dregs probably swept up from the bottom of the skewer at lunch time, I tried gnashing on it but it had to go in the bin, the portion was generous though! The pancake roll is in fact a diced cabbage roll without beansprouts lacking tecture and taste, yuk! I filed it under B1n! Shame the establishment serves this under par food to people , I would not have the conscious to it! Chips were a good portion and nice !

Nothing wrong with the food. I don't enjoy giving bad reviews but I am completely disgusted by the unexpected service charge. I made a telephone order for collection. When I arrived to collect and looked at the receipt I saw a £5.50 service charge. When I asked what it was for I was informed that I had been charged per item for ordering over the phone. Completely shocking! At no point was I informed that I would be charged extra for pre-ordering. I have done so many times in the past without the charge.

Fish and chips are good and always consistently good, we especially like and recommend the halloumi fritters and the fish bites for kids! The stand out thing is the staff and service they provide. They went above and beyond to rectify a small mistake with our order which left my wife and I amazed and surprised. Really impressed and enjoy are regular chippy dinner. Having tried a few in Market Harborough it's definitely our favourite!😋

Haven't been to Blue Wave for a while, and won't be going back! Last night's takeaway was a serious disappointment - the cod was tasteless, mushy and greasy, the chips were undercooked and the beef pie was without doubt the worst pie we've had from any takeaway, anywhere - hard and completely dried out - when I cut into it, nothing came out! - the tiny amount of filling was all stuck to the edges... And on top of all that, it was expensive! - £32 for 3 people - would have been £27 elsewhere...

I've had many gluten free take-aways from here in the past which all hit the 5/5 mark, but I was a little anxious on my recent return due to change of management, so-so reviews, etc. But, no need to worry! as last Monday's take away proved, it's gluten free heaven all over again! My partner had the non gf f & c & says that they're as good as ever, too.

I never thought I’d write a negative review for this place but the customer service was shocking. We ordered online to be delivered between 5-5:15. The chips got delivered cold (they open at 5) and the veggie nuggets had clearly been reheated. After we rang up for a replacement meal which was a hassle to get. I was eating my donner kebab and when picking through the meat I saw a hair. It has put me off. If this was a cheep and cheerful place it’s more understood but this is unacceptable. Do better.

Very disappointing. I have ordered from Blue Wave in the past and not had any issues until today. The fish batter wasn't cooked properly, the cod was tasteless and the chips were soggy and brown in colour and had grit in them! The family have all complained so I will not be ordering from here again. To top it all, I only realized ordering online costs considerably more when I was in the shop, even though it is their own site! Not good enough, sorry!

Pie and chips delivered very quickly. However chips were cold and looked as if they had been cooked twice and probably from last orders. They looked burnt and tasted awful. Pies were cold as well. Have used Blue Wave quite often but this was the worst delivery we’ve had. Will be looking elsewhere now.

Edit lost a star. Tried a bag of chips as i was passing just awful. Ones which were edible didnt taste great and then i threw a lot away, see pic. Black eyes, bruised, dont use a rumbler to peel potatoes so come out like wedges. Dont think most people like the skin left on their chip shop chips. I wont be returning again Sorry to say the quality has gone down hill. Went frequently, having tried nearly all the other chips shops, and been happy with the food. Of the last 4 times, 3 of the times the chips were gritty (potatoes not washed / soil?) thankfully the last time they didn't have this problem but chips tasted average, a bit soggy. The cod doesn't taste of much. I guess they have switched suppliers or getting inferior potatoes / fish. I drive through Corby coming back from work, and there are 2 excellent chippies there who haven't compromised on quality (yet?) and pick up from there now, its only 15-20 minutes before its on the table at home. I will try Blue Wave again periodically, hopefully they will win back my custom as i prefer to support local businesses...

Ordered a takeaway from their website. Cost me £26 of which £4 was a delivery charge! Was told it would be delivered within 45 minutes. Took an hour and 15 minutes of which I had to call them twice to ask where my food was. Eventually arrived...Cold! Batter was soggy, chips could well have been left over from lunchtime, mushy peas were liquid! The most disgusting fish and chips I have tasted!!! Called them to complain about the food being cold and they sent a replacement order within the 15 minutes. That arrived - this was hotter, except for the mushy peas which again were cold but the food still wasn't nice! Blue Wave used to be a great place for fish and chips! Not anymore - won't be getting my business again. Probably the worst fish and chips I've ever had and the service was pretty bad too!

Worst chips ever, looked like they were leftover from lunch times service, burnt and dry if they hit the floor they would have bounced, not worth £6 with the curry sauce which was watered down. Sadly they hit bin before I thought taking a picture throughly disappointed especially with an hour and 15mins before they closed.

We just had a terrible takeaway from this takeaway ordered two half pound cheeseburgers and we threw most of it out. Cheap tasteless burger patties, brown lettuce and bad chips were three of the highlights this chip shop seems incapable of any sort of consistency with their chips. Skin on, black bits and burnt ends were common with over half the chips below an acceptable standard and ending up in the bin. One of the burgers wasn't even as ordered checked no salad but got salad complete with brown lettuce. The burgers looked like they were just chucked together no care or attempt to present a pleasant appearance and I asked for sauce on my burger which was all over the top of the bun and chips and hardly any on the actual burger. Ordered large curry sauce and got a small just to top of the whole disappointing meal which when costing over £22 just wasn't acceptable. This might just be another order for blue wave but it's our one weekly treat and was bordering on disgusting and wasn't worth a tenner much less more then double that we paid. We won't be ordering from blue wave for a good long while as other chip shops seem able to maintain a good standard with their food we only ordered from blue wave because they did cheeseburgers that weren't worth the money this time.

The quality of food is aweful and has gone down so much, we used to love blue wave but won’t be going back, the chips we ordered recently was old and had been reheated, they tasted aweful, the oil is clearly old because you can taste the difference with fresh oil to old oil. Everything we had tasked and looked like it was a few days old. Sometimes you have to spend money to make money but when you start taking shortcuts you loose business. You have just lost a valuable regular customer.

I orders Cod and Chips as usual and I was told it would be 5 mins - 18 minutes later my order was handed to me. When I arrived at home I unwrapped them only to find the MOST OVER cooked piece of fish I had ever seen - the fish extremely dry, fish had split into 3 pieces, better rock hard - the chips were ok? I have to say this is unusual as I have ordered previously but an extremely poor quality food and very disappointing experience.

Don’t let the clean facade fool you it’s very greasy and mediocre at best, chips taste like they’ve been sat for a good hour(lunch time) I’d say 30% where inedible due to dryness and being hard as stone(honestly don’t know how they achieved this). Battered sausage was almost white=mass produced rubbish shame given the local butchers are award winning…lazy. If it wasn’t for the roll I’d of wasted £5 and still been hungry. If your in the area just go somewhere else…..literally anywhere you won’t regret it
