Butlin's Traditional Fish & Chips Minehead in West Somerset

Not as good as most chip shop chips, but still excellent

Things we wanted weren't available disappointed when it's in Butlins

No choice on site, no competition so this is what you get. Mediocre, to say the least. Chips are cardboard Bland’s and we had sausages which were shrivelled and more like rock! Peas were tasteless. If you’re on your way back to your chalet and had a few drinks, this will probably be ok for you but other than that, it’s not that good.

Nice service, busy at night. Food not the best, clocked in old oil.

I asked for a large cod and chips, It was horrible, my cod looked like an Asda smart price on a bad day, I could easily cover it with one hand, batter was soggy and although a decent sized portion of chips they were also terrible.... I left half my chips, if I wasn't hungry and this was my last chance to eat I wouldn't have eaten any...

Up there with some of the worst chips I've ever had. Ordered two chips, gravy and a much peas. Should be quite simple. Chips were under cooked and tasted like they had been cooked in old oil. Portions were on the small side. I'd advise venturing into Minehead if you can. No doubt a better fish and chips in the town.

Chips were fried frozen chips not traditional at all.. really not nice.. my parents had fish and said that it wasn't fresh and they didn't enjoy it.. wouldn't return, shame really as staff seem friendly.

The fish was solid.. Could hardly chew it! It was dry and hard looks like it was frozen and reheated.. It was disgusting 🤢 The chips in fryer long enough! I was really looking forward to eating my dinner with family. It was a really let down... I don't recommend the fish and chips from there... waste of money...😕☹️😮 tonight Monday 18/3 2024..

This may be the worst fish and chips I've ever had from a take away. I think I could make better at home and I can't even cook.

We went on the Thursday night after one of the shows, no queue, the steak and kidney pie is lovely, grandson had chicken and mushroom, cod bites for granddaughter and sausage in batter for my daughter, all food was really delicious, worth a visit.

Over priced food is not great and the service is none existent they just want your money and that's it

Talk about misleading advertising, the chips are actually frozen McCain chips! What’s traditional about frozen chips?!

Although stated on the board the food was cooked vegetarian. Was informed by staff that it wasn’t and needed to check the QR code. Why would I need to do this if it states on the board VEGETARIAN?? Not happy!

We had haddock and chips and the kids had fishcake and chips and it all tasted amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful and we're checking on our food will definitely be back

Better places to eat, long queue

Restaurant not open all week 30th June to the 7th July and 5 of us paid for dine around!! 🤔

It a shame they no longer have dining in, only takeaway you eat it in there but no drink as didn't think in advance no cutlery as can't eat with wooden knives and fork 😕

Tiny and tasteless cod which was near £7, plus chips that were undercooked for a further £3! I don’t mind paying a little more for convenience and quality but due to constant long queue it was neither. Mushy peas were nice enough and staff were great, but in all the worst chippy I’ve ever been to.

Nice cod,and my kids gave the haloumi fries a double thumbs up

Great sevice, staff are really nice, food is absolutely stunning, the detail and decoration captures the sea very well and an all around great resturant highly recommend

Hands down the worst fish and chips I've ever had. Chips had clearly been re heated over and over and of course nothing will change because they dont care as people will always buy them!

Fish and chips were lovely and great value. Queue was massive as it was the end of the night but still remained friendly. Fish was the best I’ve eaten though! Asked if we wanted salt and vinegar so didn’t put any on ourselves, got back to accommodation and realised they’d forgot so chips were a little dry.

Fantastic value for money! We went as a table of 8 with 4 children. As we were two families they were more than accommodating to split the bill. There was a minor issue that the food came out at different times but this was quickly resolved by the manager. The place was clean and tidy but child friendly. Nothing was too much of a problem. Will definitely return again next time we stay

Disappointed about the chips being frozen chips and not fresh potatoes

Price is expensive which i gwt as it is within the resort but the quality was truely shocking chips that had been cooked at least 3 times like cardboard even our 4 year old.son wouldnt touch them and im affraid to say the rest of the food was the same batter so thick and over cooked it bent a prong on my fork and the fiah was chewy iv never experienced chewy fish before and i hope i never do again, so £25 quid for 3 people of which between us we probably ate about 6 mouth fulls before putting it where it belongs in the bin not a great start to our holiday.

18/09/22 After being given two small sausages as a replacement for a jumbo sausage I half expected the customer service to be limited much like it’s food, but when the lad at the till told me his name was on the receipt I was disappointed to see his number wasn’t there with it. Sam, if you’re single and interested, my insta is - simjadee. Chips could be better though. Bit dry.

Perfect fish and chips! Better than my local 250 miles away. Service and food were both excellent, food came out very quickly and was delicious.

Good chips, good fish and it was fast only problem is they forgot half the meal no curry on the CURRY and chips

£11 plus for fish and chips. Want a meal not to be robbed. They have you trapped that's why people pay this price.

Lovely little restaurant, with decent prices. Portion sizes were fair, and staff were helpful. Little bit of a wait for dessert due to a large party coming in, but dessert was lovely so we didn't mind. You can also get takeaway.

Very nice place , friendly amazing staff , Julia one of the staff she was lovely with the kids and offered them coloring sheets , they loved it . Nice decorations, lightings and atmosphere. Place is clean and well maintained. I used Bserve app. For ordering, it took few mins to serve the food . Prices are very reasonable taking in account you are on site in Butlins. Good portions , taste good , freshly made and tasty . We enjoyed our time there and definitely will do it again . Thank you

If you would like to try lose some weight quickly then this is the place for you. Not only does everything take 4 times as long as it should, the food is also undercooked and reheated so you can spend all night, like my family, fighting over the toilet! If you want to take things to the extreme and dice with toxic shock and possible hospitalisation then try the prawn cocktail. The curry sauce was nice though

So bad the staff were unbelievably rude to my mother-in-law they got the order wrong food was very very bad please do not use them as it's bad very bad

Very rude staff. I wouldn’t recommend this at all

Absolutely AMAZING fish and chips. Hubby had the cod and chips which looked freshly cooked and delicious and I had the scampi chips as peas which was equally amazing. All freshly cooked. Very clean restraunt with friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend

Family of 2 adults 2 children and a toddler. Decent size portions. Fish good, chips not traditional chip shop chips more like deep fat fried mccains. Plenty for children but very expensive like all food at Butlins

Had a great meal here and waited on by Callum. Lovely staff, friendly service and great fish and chips!

Best fish and chips I've ever had the fish was lovely the staff were very pleasant would definitely recommend

Only had chips at fish n chips, but they were GOOD. But this review is more for the Kiosk in Centre Stage, That i was made aware is run by the fish n chips manager, i waited for 35mins for a pancake as Ryan was working alone, serving, making hot dogs, pancakes etc, he was so apologetic, i explained it was fine but i was shocked at the 10-15 bar staff stood behind 2 bars that served about 20ppl that not one came to help or check if he was ok or if there was anything they could do. Ryan is a credit, he told us at 19yrs old hes currently going through the stages of promotion to become Manager, he absolutely deserves this 100% a lovely man polite apologetic an absolute star we even gave him the majority of our tokens you can give to a staff member that goes out their way, i only hope he gets the credit he so deserves. 😀

Had fish and chips from here. I didn’t realise that batter could be chewy but somehow it was managed here. Chips tasted like they had been reheated and were dry. We won’t be back, I’d go to Burger King instead

The staff (especially Eunice I think his name was ) were super friendly. Food was amazing- all the great taste of fish and chips with none of the grease. Food was served in food time. Would return!

Food was very nice, and the portions were big. Staff were friendly, and nothing too much trouble. The only negative was the grumpy chef who clearly wanted to go home - if the kids puddings had been Brought out earlier and the bill when we...

This is the on site fish & chip shop for Butlins in Minehead. The food is reasonably priced and fair potion sizes are given.

Ordered and paid for takeaway via the Butlins app, went to collect at the time stated and 45mins later, still no sign of the food. Terrible.

Absoultly cracking piece of cod, and very reasonable price. Really good service by the cheeky chappy Rico, very friendly and helpful. (He's got a bright future in customer service) Excellent choice and price for children's meal deal. Highly recommend.

The staff at the fish bar are so friendly and funny! They’re very welcoming! The food seems to be lovely every time I went there! Rico was a star! He’s so friendly funny and caring! Always asked how we was and make funny jokes! His...

Had a family meal here. The staff were fantastic with the children and the adults. They went above and beyond and made the evening a thoroughly enjoyable time. Would recommend to anyone.

Thanks for 2 delicious meals during our Just for Tots week with our twin boys. Super friendly staff especially Rico, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The barman and other waiters were all great and we were really impressed with everyone’s...

Me and my family decided too have a fish and chips tea on our second night as we came before and absolutely loved it, on arrival was greeted warmly by Rico and promptly sat down at a table of our choice whilst walking to the...

My husband and I went into the restaurant for our dinner on our second night and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed by the ever so friendly Rico and seated super quickly. Our food and drinks arrived quickly and it was delicious! Large portions...

Ordered on the app, nice food and ready when it said it would be. Had fish and chips and the saveloy.

Tiny portions. Normal size chips is like 20 chips if that. More like a kids meal.

Stopped here during last day of our stay and some of the best fish and chips we all agreed we had for as long as we could remember. Service was first class and all the staff were so helpful and friendly. From the chap with...

Went to this place for a take out as not many options at butlins at current to eat, they say British classic but British classic is fresh home cooked food this food served here is frozen and tasteless may aswell go to the shop and...

Bad chip shop not fresh might well go to Iceland and cook your own in the oven I've eat at loads chips shops this ones got be the 3d worst chip shop ever

AVOID!!! 15 mins wait to order and !!25!!mins to collect which was an absolute joke. Fish batter was crispy, burnt, soggy and even uncooked too! how can someone manage all that at once??? Tons of salt&vinegar on my fish&chips, chips are possibly oven cooked ( half cooked I shall say ) I have no idea why some people saying the food here is lovely but each to their own I suppose. How can they mess up such a simple dish? Definitely NOT recommended

Just terrible avoid like most places in butlins lacklustre stale reheated food made to a price and then delicately over inflated in price to its customers take my advice and go to Burger King best food in butlins

Having been let down by another Restaurant, we thought we'd give this Location a try. Have to say the whole visit was excellent, we were shown to a clean comfortable booth suitable for myself and my family almost immediately after entry, menu's given promptly and...

Visited the takeaway a few times on our recent visit and was not disappointed. Each time the meals were fantastic. The fish was chunky and golden and the chips were some of the best from a chippy. The staff were also excellent especially Matthew.

As the food court was a joke, we opted to buy take out from here. the food was surprising, the regular portion of chips was more than enough for the two of us with lots being binned. the fish cakes are a great size and...

Forgot half of the order, no contact number, long ques, slow service, stopped taking orders 15 mins before close. All round bad service

Very good chips and excellent fish as well. We ordered 3 cod and 2 chips, with a kiddy's meal for the little one - the kids meal would've been enough for an adult, and we couldn't finish all our food, so the portions were very...

Takeaway only. It says traditional but really it’s just bags of frozen chips chucked in the fryer and plastered in way too much salt and vinegar. Small portions for prices charged.

We been at Butlins since Monday the. Sausage and. Chips are amazing and. The. Staff and. Amazing

Fish was very small and the chips was like oven cooked . I nearly feel over when I was told that they don't do brown sauce. Never again.

Good portion of fish and chips although service rather slow. Sauces etc included at no extra charge.

Timed it right for no queues for takeaway, 2 regular cod en chips, 1 large cod en chips, after 5 min wait as fish was cooked to order went back to chalet to find chips stone cold fish still hot, my advice eat indoors then...

Lovely fresh fish and chips and mushy peas, served in a safe environment, by friendly staff, all observing social distancing.

Hubby and I shared a large cod and regular chips with curry sauce and it was plenty for lunch. Not greasy either

Had chips last night and they must have been left over from night before. VERY POOR

Large portion of chips with battered sausages and mince beef and onion pie to share. Sausage made my son throw up and I'm awake all night with acid reflux. Not surprised as the pie was hard and dried up on the indside. Chips were OK...

Visited here whilst on a Xmas weekend Staff were lovely, but food not so great. Sausages arrived burnt and inedible. In all fairness they were taken off the bill, but it’s not what you need after a long car journey. Prices are expensive, but you...

Loved the chips from here the rest of the food is just average, very slow and left waiting for ages. Expensive for what you get and quality.

We are in butlins for a tots break and treated ourselves to takeaway fish & chips on the first night. Service was slow, only 2 people in front of me and I waited 15 mins to be served. Ladies behind counter were too busy chatting...

Went to restaurant in Sunday evening told one out wait for food as they had a table of ten in that had ordered starters and mains and two small tables, staff were standing around, Wales out in disgust. Went around corner to take away instead.

nice place very fresh and clean and the staff were happy and helpful. Chips were as pale as they were before they went into the fryer and contained no potato they were like empty shells. Change your supplier dont just be lazy and assume people...

Fantastic freshly cooked fish and chips , great quality , worth waiting for them , we ate from the paper .

Very friendly staff and excellent customer service. Also, the food was good and the restaurant had a good atmophere.

We went to butlins for the weekend and we had chips & curry sauce nearly every night the chips were amazing! I couldn’t fault them! The staff are lovely they could do with some more staff due to the young lady was rushed off her feet with the queues but overall amazing!

Resort was lovely and lots to do for the kids. I would reccomend avoiding the traditional fish and chips. They are not traditional at all. The chips are dry and are basically oven chips from a bag as confirmed by staff when asked. Very very disappointed as it was an end of the holiday treat each year that we come. COME ON BUTLINS, TRADITIONAL FISH AND CHIPS MEANS THAT!!!!

We joined the rather large queue after just arriving in resort in time for lunch. It did take while to be served and when we were, we were told the fish would be another 10 minutes. They really do need a better way to keep up with demand. It was quite expensive for the portion sizes. They gave us lots of ketchup, salt and vinegar which was great. We sat in the pavilion to eat and the fish and chips and they were all really lovely and everyone enjoyed. We would visit again.

As other people have mentioned, the portions are quite small. It's pretty expensive and isn't very good. The kids meal was ok and my wife's fish was tasty. I ordered a chicken burger but I doubt there was very much chicken in it. It had a flat thin slither of some grey pulp covered in breadcrumbs that tasted vile. I would avoid it and get some in town instead.

We had a quick takeaway as we were watching a show. Service was good and fairly quick. Food was very nice. But the fish was tiny for over £5 a piece. It would hardly qualify as a child's portion anywhere else. It's a shame they feel the need to over charge their guests.

When on holiday you must have some chips form here. There is always long line as it is really popular. Just waiting in the line just makes your mouth water. The chips are lovely and hot. Go here and treat your self and the family.

We ate from the takeaway shop about 3 hours ago the fish and chips and sausages tasted reheated and were luke warm the curry sauce well i can still feel it repeating on me! I'm very convinced I will throw up tonight I feel terrible ever since eating from their it has completly ruined my evening and the start to my holiday. I will never eat their again avoid!

Just returned from the ESF 2019 Butlins weekend with 35 in our party! 26 of us booked in for Saturday tea and Jon and his staff were excellent. Lots of age groups and different meals needed but everything came out the same time and tasted great. Thank for accomodating us, definitely worth a visit.

I had the pie with veg and wife and son sausage and chips etc.

Absolutely lovely meal here for Mother’s Day after being let down at a different restaurant just a few steps away. Friendly staff, beautiful food and great cocktails that were very seaside! Would definitely eat here again!

Highly recommended at lunch time for a quick eat. Lovely fresh piping hot chips and quick service.

Had the traditional fish and chips with mushy peas..it was great value and not at all greasy. Service was great. Well done guys keep it up.

During our stay n butlins we tried the Fish and Chips at the resort. Really good quality fish and the chips were crispy and tasted amazing. Worth the money spent

Lovely food very polite staff and quick service I would recommend sitting in and eating, not cheapest in minehead

As a bunch of lads at the Shiiine weekender this was an easy option when finding something to eat. I had bought from the outside counter the night before and it was expensive but the food was incredible. We got a table and were served by very friendly staff who must have to deal with all sorts. Big shout out to Monika who was happy to have a laugh with us.

Nice fish n chips quite expensive as they have a captive clientele i suppose they can get away with it.

Best meal out with kids for ages! They cleared the plates! Good value at £6.45 for main, drinks and 2scoops of ice cream! Scampi they had and cod bites very good. My wife’s cod and chips, my seabass was very good as well! Keep up

Freshly cooked ready to order. Openat all times, great for late night suppers for take away, also dine in through out the day.

a bit pricey but where can you get fish and chips at 2 am having said that the fish and chip are good

Staff were polite and food was nice but a bit pricey and slow service.
