Brilliant Fish and Chips in Great Yarmouth

Recently visited here as our regular place in North Walsham was closed due to works. We called ahead to preorder, which we didn’t see the point of doing as it wasn’t ready when we arrived on time and had to wait a further 15minutes. I had the fish bites, which had the skin on, and with hardly any fish. If you managed to find the fish it was so overcooked it was chewy to eat. I had to throw them all away. The chips weren’t anything to shout about; they were edible. My partner’s medium skinless fish was ok. I will never go here again… If our favourite place is shut then we will wait until they’re open again.

What a pukka little chippy. I tried and the food is to die for. I won't be going anywhere else. Service was with a smile and polite. As for all the staff. They like to have a laugh. Should really consider making it bigger and having a restaurant. I'm sure most people that have had there food would agree.

The only friendly person was the young girl on the till. The three other people awful, rude and obnoxious. The food barely warm, the pies had been sat so long they were like hockey pucks. We chose the shop site to the great reviews and came away incredibly disappointed!

Always perfect. Wouldn’t dream if going anywhere else.

Soggy chips waste of money. Seems to be going downhill ,server not friendly,

Cooking fish to order, white & flaky haddock, lovely batter. Definately use again

Great selection and highly recommend the battered scampi

Good fish and chips, chips made with proper spuds

Really is brilliant fish and chips. Our first day staying at Great Yarmouth area and we needed food! This was good prices, hot fresh food and everyone ate the lot. Definitely visit again thank you.

The name didn't disappoint ! Battered scampi was delicious; So much nicer than breaded. We opted for a standard portion of chips and it was a very generous portion (large must be enormous). A short walk away we found some picnic tables but this chippy was clearly where the locals went instead of the beach front cafés. 19/10/24- Still a very popular chippy. Busy but meant everything was cooked fresh and piping hot. Portion size is still generous and good value. Just over £18 for 1 large chips, 2 portions of scampi and 2 cans of drink.

Absolutely fantastic food! Large Cod is massive. Chips were overflowing. Price is excellent!! Highly recommend!! Thank you!!

Recommended this place by a local as we were visiting from London. I have never tasted fish and chips as nice as this in my life! I will be back. It was perfect, they had scraps! It was all fresh, 0 complaints! I could eat it every week.

Wow enough to feed an army, we ordered 1 large chips(enough for at least 3 people, husband had large plaice, I had fish bites, easily enough for 2, lovely tasting batter, and fish was great, highly recommend this establishment, caister on sea.

The food is excellent and cook perfectly

Nothing special and the staff were miserable and unfriendly

We were on holiday nearby last week. Decided we wanted proper fish and chips and that's what we got. Lovely fresh fish and the chips were great too.

After looking on google, this place had the best review and was open on a Wednesday lunchtime (most others were not). There was a medium queue just forming when we got there but others queued after us. Luckily we only waited 5 minutes. Large cod, large chips and can of coke was 12.50 and was worth every penny. Fish was crispy and huge and the chips tasted lovely, none of it was greasy and didn’t have that taste you might get if oil is over cooked. We drove to a car park 2 mins away by the beach and they were piping hot. Car park attendant even let us off paying as we were only there to eat our grub. Would highly recommend. We drove past another chippy 50 yards up the rd and although open, it was empty. Brilliant !

Amazing fish and chips. The best we’ve had in the area since moving here 4 years ago. Definitely will become my regular.

Brilliant fishing chips caister it's in the word ,Brilliant 😋

Top fish shop. Good food at reasonable prices.

After a horrible meal from a Hemsby eatery, we decided to go up the road to Caister and had fish and chips from Brilliant Fish and Chips. It did not disappoint. Fish was perfectly cooked, chips were tasty and hot and the whole meal was fresh and utterly delicious. Even my fussy son has asked if we can return before we go home. Absolutely what you’d expect from a coastal town chippy. 10/10!

Absolutely best fish and chips, Haddock was so fresh and great service Best fish and chips in Caister on Sea, no reason to go anywhere else, shop was full of local residents which tells all

Was on holiday in caister on sea for 4days 2weeks ago went in here twice and the fish and chips was blinding 2nd time went in got 2 quarter Pounders with chips were luvly and the staff who served me was so friendly and polite made to feel very welcome brilliant prices and the best fish and chip shop around ta very much see u when back in caister on sea on holiday 👍🏼

Very tasty fresh and fast service

Lovely staff always have a smile and the food was delicious.

Good service, fresh cooked. Happy to call again.

Amazing fish and chips. Nothing was soggy, everything was tasty, first time trying and will be going back!

A wonderful place and fantastic staff

Very dissapointing not up to standard of last visit there

As the name says Brilliant fish and chips, service friendly and reasonably quick. Considering the queue of customers. Very impressed

Tricking little children with change from £20 for chips gave £1.20 change. Horrible!!! Intresting hiw many more have done like that!!!

We were out and about looking for nice fish and chips for tea in Caister on sea . Our usual choice of chippy was closed so it was down to two that we could see open. One with no queue no people and the other rammed with a queue out the door. No brainer let’s try Brilliant Fish & Chips! They were very tasty and very fresh given the amount of people waiting. My only complaint was my medium cod could only be described as small! Xx

Highly recommend this fish and chip shop. The food was excellent. It was extremely busy and popular, so I would recommend to perhaps ring and order first incase you may be waiting up to 30mins.

Well recommend, very polite and friendly environment

Fantastic burgers. Very good chips. Service with a smile.

On holiday and visited. Lovely fish and chips. Freshly cooked and generous portions

This place lives up to its name. Chips are some of the best we have had. And the sausages are awesome just the right amount of crispy batter and taste amazing. They are really well priced aswell for being on the coast,will be back

Quality fish and chips. Most fish available, the haddock was lovely 👍

Staying at haven. Stopped here on way back to site. They were BRILLIANT

The name of this “Chippy” is more than apt, the food is definitely “Brilliant” for sure. Absolutely amazing Cod and Chips. The staff were happy, friendly and good at what they do, from the lady taking the orders to the guys cooking and the lady preparing your food to go. And the scampi was the best I have ever had in my whole life “Just Wow 😯” Don’t bother searching if you’re on your “Hols” for a good chippy in the Caister area just go here you won’t regret it !!! Great tasting and reasonably priced A1+

Lovely young girl served us food was really good

I recently visited about 2 weeks ago, I chose to obviously have traditional fish and chips with mush peas as we was at the sea side, I can honestly say it was one of the nicest meals I’ve had from a chippy in a long time, I didn’t actually go in my self on my first visit, it was my husband, however I did go back myself the second night we was away and I only went in to order chips and gravy, i walked in and everyone was lovely all staff greeted me and said hello, great presentation of this lovely little chippy, nice and clean and tidy, upon receiving my chips and gravy the lovely man behind the counter put me a sausage in my order, honestly the food was piping hot both times, and I’d definitely recommend and return here

Ask for a saveloy and chips when I got back to my caravan I noticed they gave me a sausage in batter and chips not a savoy as requested

Excellent fish, meticulous attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Well best £5.30 I spent in a long while. Large battered sausage and chips. Freshly cooked no grease afterwards. Vinegar wasn’t watered down full of flavour too. I know it’s a little thing but good vinegar on chips makes a chippy stand out. Portion size was spot on.

Tried these last weekend when was down for few nights… Ordered scampi chips beans and jumbo battered sausage And it really didn’t disappoint, clearly busy as cars parked everywhere and lot of people reccomend this place so glad I tried it…. Fresh, chips cooked to perfection and lots of flavour

Must say this was the best fish & chips we’ve had. Good price, fish freshly fried and enough portion to feed both of us. Would highly recommend

Great fish and chips nice place great staff 👍🏻

Great place for fish and chips burgers and other fast food items reasonably priced

Quick service even on a busy night.

Stopped for lunch beautiful fish and chips, served with a smile, excellent and quick service reasonable priced.

Normally when we use this chip shop we always say it lives up to its name but this time we were somewhat disappointed. We had a large cod, beef and onion pie, large chips and a bag of scraps. The pie and scraps were delicious but unfortunately although the fish was nice but the batter was chewie like cardboard and the chips tasted like they were leftovers. Hopefully it was a 1 off and won't stop us using it.

Good food, reasonable prices (although are not the same as shown online)

It's an extremely popular fish and chips shop but I don't think they can handle the amount of orders. I waited over an hour in the shop for them to complete my order. Not sure how great the communication is between staff taking orders, and those staff cooking it.

It was ok food nothing to write home about. It was freshly cooked and hot

Absolutely brilliant, freshly cooked fish and chips while you wait at a reasonable price. Friendly and helpful staff, nothing was to much trouble, both cash or card payment Would definitely recommend these guys

Very disappointed in the service I asked the women 3 times if she had put salt on my fish !! She said she did I replied and asked her very nicely that I only see her put salt on one of the fish then she spoke to me in her foreign language telling me she did . I was eaten out next to the beach and I think fish and chips does not taste nice with no SALT .

Good quality ingredients and large portions.

A brilliant chippy, always use when we come on holiday

Always excellent. Freshly made to order. There is no shortage of staff, so even though the fish is freshly prepared, there is not a long wait.

Whilst this fish and chips shop has got fantastic reviews, tonight's service was really poor. Queues were out the door (good sign!) but having placed my order at 6.05pm I eventually was served my food at 6.50pm!! I heard the 'boss' say to the server on the till 'you haven't called out every order' which she claimed she had. People were served after me and received their orders before. I think poor communication just compounded the delays. Advice: food is delious but I strongly recommend ordering over the phone and then collecting. I think this will help enormously.

Ordered a Large Haddock and chips. Shop was busy so was expecting Great fish and Chips. Haddock was just OK but for £2.80 expected more than 20 chips? Chips were luke warm and not fully cooked. 1st time trying. Don't think we'll be rushing back. Thank fully only a small order so damage limitations. Shame as looking for a good local chippy for regular use.

They were just getting ready to close as we arrived but stayed open to cook us our meal. Which, as the name suggests, was indeed brilliant and even threw in an extra bag of chips .

Very very good chip shop, foods lovely, generous portions and the scraps are a nice added extra, I don't get them back in London (hint, hint, London chippys take note).

Really nice apart from fish was a bit greasey.

(Brilliant) fish n chip shop. So good had twice in 4 days. Brilliant by name absolutely brilliant fish n chips excellent value, friendly staff I highly recommend this chip shop.

A great chippy, I tried rock (bull huss) for the first time and definitely going to have to get it again, everyone loved there meals, very tasty cooked fresh everyone was very chatty and helpful, they even had pictures of the fish that you were going to eat!

The staff or owners are nice. Unfortunately the fish and chips was not. Probably the worst fish and chips I have had in the UK. The smell from the oil was not okay, don't know why. Kids portions was good, but adult not so much. I did regret buying from here.

Brilliant little chip shop, and great prices as well as food

The best fish and chips I've had in a very long while, there is a wait due to the high demand, the wait is well worth it. If you ever in the Caister area give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Lovely fresh fish and batter just to my liking.😋

Great chippy!!! Visiting from the North. * The best curry sauce I've ever had * Battered sausage could be better but not awful * Chips & fish very good * Chips & cheese melted well in the takeaway packaging * Scraps are brilliant Great chippy, wish we had this this shop near my home address!

Absolutely lovely food after having such a bad welcome by superfry. Your food was absolutely lovely and the staff are lovely too. Friendly and chatty. This is why your shop is so busy. Look forward to visiting again

Visited Brilliant Fish and Chips 4 years ago and was surprised at the quality so much so we ordered again 2 more times while on holiday. On holiday at Caister again and was looking forward to visiting Brilliant Fish and Chips again but I don’t know if it has changed hands or we caught it on a bad day but our large fish was anything but large and the chips seemed like they had been kept warm too long as dry as anything, certainly not like they used to be.

Very tasty fish for a good price. The fries were also delicious.

These are really brilliant fish & chips, very tasty!! Friendly staff, we felt totally spoilt. Lovely people who know how to look after their customers. You won't be disappointed!

Good fresh food, friendly staff clean and tidy. Excellent considering it was a quiet Monday lunchtime in early March.

The best fish and chips ever ! They even put scraps on our chips...Saturday evening tradition now !! Can't wait for Saturdays...

New owners. Chips seemed old and rubbery, not very friendly.

Stopped off for a quick bite before long journey home fishcwas fresh and cooked while ya wait chips were good too friendly staff patient and happy to help

First visit to this chip shop and certainly won't be my last. Such lovely food, a big range of items for a chip shop snd lovely friendly staff. 😋

Great place for your fish and chips and they open Mondays where rather a lot nearby don't.

Lady behind the counter could do with a smile on her face, so miserable

Always use this chippy in Caister, fish fried to order, can get busy

Lives up to it's name. Without a doubt the best plaice and chips I have ever had.

Chips not cooked sausage tasteless batter like cardboard pie had been reheated too many times. Basically nothing any good.

Excellent food. Great value. Never go anywhere else when we are in Caister.

Fish was lovely and fresh and nicest curry we've tasted 😋

Good food and definitely filling

Friendly staff. Really good range of foods & quick service too. Recommended. Closed now on Sundays during the winter.

The food was good, the fish was a bit small as i ordered a medium it was more like a small, but the taste was good, the chicken was lovely.

Busy little chippy. Really enjoyed it on our hols

Best fish and chip shop in area been a regular for a few years never had a bad meal

Great portion size good value for money and a large variety on the menue everything is cooked to order and is very tasty

Best fish and chips ever won't go anywhere else Kind staff Cal

Four of us had large cod and chips on Friday 6th Oct '23. Service was great. The fish was cooked to order so was fresh and tasty and not greasy. Portions were on the large side and they threw in some fish scraps. Really enjoyed it! The staff was decent, think the guy there was called Wahin or Wayne. Would definately go back when I'm next in Great Yarmouth. Thanks.

Popped in about 8-8'30 as it on the main drag it seemed busy, as it's a small shop so, I ordered and it took a fair time to be cooked, I paid as it was wrapped getting to our work rental, we were disappointed with the small rations fish just cooked as the not fully dried batter slid off, & the chips semi soggy, it may have been rushed? (we are staying just around the corner) portion size left us a bit hungry! So not so brilliant for me! Our time in the area has been extended, so a good chip shop is always welcomed but not here!

Unfortunately we couldn't eat any of the fish. The fish was bland and greasy and had a funny taste. The workers were blunt and rude when we was asking questions. Wouldn't go again. I personally think they should state if they are going to leave the skin on the fish too. Chips were also cold, and we were only round the corner. Mushy peas was nice though and so was the chicken nuggets. This might of been a off day for them but unfortunately it wasn't a good first experience for us.

I have been reading some of the reviews and I'm disappointed to read what some people have put. Yes sometimes things go wrong but not very often especially how busy they are. As I live in Caister I can say its the best one around. Its BRILLIANT. Give it a go you will not be disappointed. Keep up the good work guys.

Best fish n chips we've had in a while. Cod, chips, Mexican burger, battered sausage and savaloy all good. Parking can be tricky
