Central Fish Bar and Restaurant in Forest Heath

Been here several times, staff are friendly and the food is lovely and they even have GF vinegar. Would recommend.

Queried size of portion with manager who said that was what you got needless to say we were not impressed

This amazing chip shop will cook anything on demand gluten-free. Fish is fresh and tasty. Centrally located.

Really enjoyed our fish and chip lunch, my wife had the gluten free version which like my meal was hot, nice crispy batter and a good portion. Friendly staff, nice and clean.

Good crispy golden chips, lumpy and delicious mushy peas. Good service and polite servers. Clean and tidy. Quite expensive for what we had though.

After a very busy day at work, we thought fish and chips was a good idea. It was a good idea but, definitely not from here. If I hadn’t been so tired and hungry or had 2 very hungry children I would have driven back with the food. Fish and chips over cooked, peas stone cold, baby portions. Most of it is in the bin, it was absolutely disgusting. I would be embarrassed to serve this rubbish. Poor customer service and no pride, shouldn’t be allowed to rip people off like this. Cod and chips twice, sausage and cod £23!!! Daylight robbery 😡😡😡😡

I am at the point of never wanting to go here again due to the staff. The place is being run by children who are rude to customers and ask weird questions (i.e. guess my age?!?). They clearly have not had enough customer service training and needs to be quickly, significantly improved. The only reason we go back (and I send in my husband) is that the batter is really crispy. Cheaper shops in town with MUCH better service.

Dropped in about 12.30 ordered the standard Cod and Chips. The fish was freshly cooked, good portion but the chips were only warm. Not very busy for the time of day. The staff were efficient, and appeared happy.

My children and myself stopped at the restaurant for a quick lunch. The staff were friendly but the lady who served me did not listen to my order correctly. I ordered one battered sausage and a large portion of chips for us to share plus 3 drinks. When food arrived (promptly) it was a battered sausage on a small plate with a handful of chips. I asked if this was a large and she replied no but I can bring a few more out. She left and came back with a plate with more chips. We ate all and then went to pay, when she printed out receipt she had charged me a sausage and chips meal and an extra portion of large chips. I expressed that this is not what I actually ordered in the first place, you said you were bringing me out a few extra to make up for the large portion. She said that she had brought me a large portion second time round. I tried to explain that what she initially brought me was incorrect and in trying to “make up for it” you have basically ripped me off. My children were fed up, she obviously was not going to own up to her error so I payed and left. In my opinion I believe she knew exactly what she was doing when she overcharged me and over ordered for me. I will never come back again. Rumbles all the way now!

Gluten free fish and chips cooked to order anytime. I am a coeliac, my wife also likes the thin crispy batter. Lovely fish and chips!

Had to have a bag of chips last Sunday lunch time and tried here for the first time. Decent chips is all I can say

A new business with a steep learning curve ahead of them. The staff can't take phone orders to save their lives. On two occasions we asked for haddock only to find cod when we got home the first time and extremely under-cooked batter the second. Worst yet, a third [and definitely final] visit resulted in three of our party [two in their nineties] having serious stomach upset for 24 hours. The manager was deeply apologetic, but three strikes are enough for me. So very tempted to call the Food Standards Agency, but I'll just be taking my wallet elsewhere in future instead.

Came in today at lunchtime for something to eat and to get away from the rain! When I sat down, I saw on the menu that they don't serve "just chips" for customers sitting down in the restaurant. I was about to leave, but a very friendly staff member was happy to serve me a portion of chips on its own anyway, which tasted delicious. Slightly pricey (£2.60 for a regular portion), but you get what you pay for. Would definitely recommend!

This chippy is no longer Central Fish Bar, it has been Deep Blue since December 2016 and if you need to eat Gluten Free, this is the place for you. As a Celiac I'm always on the look out for Gluten Free fish & chips, and here is a gem. I've been 3 times and the service and food are very good, The restaurant is clean and fresh and the staff are great. I've been served twice by Emily and her customer service is excellent, a nice touch here is being asked as your meal is put on the table, whether you would like any sauces or mayo and then they are brought out in little individual dishes, no sachets, I've had Gluten Free sausage and chips and today, Gluten Free fish and chips with mushy peas, it was top notch. Well done to all at Deep blue for getting it right, service and food. Thanks

Now change name to deep blue , Served by a male with open cuts on right hand . Greasey fish & chips watered down curry source and over priced. Will not return

Good prices. Fish was fresh. We took away but saw that you could eat in. Really good menu selection. Will be back.

Paramos para el almuerzo de hoy, la primera vez en mucho tiempo y me di cuenta de que ahora es un Harry Ramsdens. Mi miedo era el que ahora forma parte de una gran cadena que sería malo, pero fue genial. Muy buena comida y el personal eran excelentes. Se trata como un lugar feliz (perdone el juego de palabras) y la camarera muy acogedor y en realidad sonreía mucho, lo cual es raro hoy en día! Bien hecho equipo Ramsden.

not such a good chip shop since being taken over by harry ramsden. very expensive and very small portions of fish and chips for your money. no better than most other chip shops but I guess trading on name.

Had a really good fish and chip take away polite service, fresh chips and light batter Seems to get quite busy as peak time, may eat in next time

Asked for skinless fish; not a problem. Portion sizes very generous, beautiful light crispy batter with a decent amount of fish inside. The nicest fish & chips I've had in ages. Just gorgeous

love this chippy/sitin restaurant,the pies are great,so are the sausages,and the pasties,love sittin in watchin the world go by,it can gat very busy on racenights tho,but i love it

If you love fish and chips this is the place for you. The fish is perfect and the chips are cooked to perfection, add a portion of mushy peas and you will walk out fullfilled. The place is clean and with plenty of seating and very helpfull staff.

I recently stopped in for a quick bite and found the Central Fish Bar to be a clean and quick place to grab a snack. The premises are a bit dated, but typical of chippies up and down the land. The restaurant area is rather spacious, and while the furnishings are of the older diner/fish bar type, it is nonetheless pleasant.The menu offerings are more than what you would typically expect. While the standard cod and chips, and fish cake type fare is available, they also offer jacket potatoes, and full English breakfasts. WiFi is also available, and the main reason for going - the food is good quality and fairly priced. The frying oil seems clean, and the resulting food is golden and crisp.

Great fish and chips good price and freshly cooked, will definately return. Deal for pensioners too.

Good fish and chips. We visit every week. Sometimes we eat in. The prices for eating in are very reasonable, and they are great with our young children. Great staff and great food.

A professionally run fish and chip shop with a good takeaway service as well as a smart dining area when you you want to eat immediately! Never had a bad meal and the portions are enormous! Always looks fresh and clean.

The pensioners lunch offer is just that, a" what it says on the tin" offer, good fish ,chips ,mushy peas and tea . Comfortable -no but this is get it, eat it and get out establishment. Given that many places serve far less food for far more money if you fancy fish and chips and you've passed the retirement mark you will be very happy here.

Food was lovely but everytime a customer left the door stuck and between three different customers we had to get up and close it as the draught was terrible. Some of the customers were elderly and it ruined our dinner to have to get up at least 10 times between three tables. Surely a small problem that could easily be sorted out! We decided to sit in because it was cold outside but we were just as cold inside.

Never had a poor portion - always seem to be able to get there in time to have it cooked while I wait. Wide choice, reasonable cost. Give the other establishments a run for their money!!

Stopped off at the central fish bar for our lunch with our children whilst on our visit to see family in newmarket. It was very tasty the batter on the fish was just right nice & crispy and not too greasy the chips are large and in big quantities. Very good prices for such a large meal its a winner for us. The staff are friendly and helpful too. The tables were clean and plenty of room to be seated. Would definitely recommend this place.

Used to be THE chippy to go to in Newmarket, but has fell behind the likes of Rumbles (newly opened last year). Very smaill portions and staff not always the friendliest.

good service, clean, quick service and the food was fresh & hot, would have liked more comfortable seating and a small children area but would go there again, no hesitation.

This is no doubt my favourite fish and chip shop in the Newmarket and Cambridge area. The portion sizes are fantastic and offer great value! Recommend the Big Foot special!

Our family of five adults had a meal in the restaurant and from previous experience new that a large cod and chips overflowed the plate so the ladies shared a portion between two (for which the staff were happy to provide extra plates/cutlery). All the food was cooked fresh, so we had to wait a few minutes, and the chips were very good and the cod was OK. Friendly service in a clean restaurant.

I called in here , just for a bag of chips, at tea time , to nibble at , on my way home. By the time I had reached the car park , around the corner, ......the few chips that I had eaten ,( Not a very good standard), left.... exposed... a VERY small array of Scraps and Potato detritus. that I would expect only a starving animal to scavenge. I took the remainder of the tray back to the shop to express my disgust. I was met with a negative attitude , and an offer to replace the food.....''food?'' I declined their offer, and asked for a refund. They declined a monetary refund. Further words were exchanged and I left. ...I will never go back there. One pound eighty pence , for a medium sized potato , decimated and turned into animal food .......Never again!!!

What could be better than fish and chips and mushy peas after a morning shopping in Newmarket. The food is freshly cooked so there is a short wait but the special lunch is great value at £6.10. and that includes a mug of either tea or coffee. Don't expect finesse but the place is clean having just been completely refurbished, and the staff are all very friendly and operate a table service. What more could you want?

Great chips friendly staff must vist when in Newmarket best chippie in town u won't find better chip shop in town then this one

i don't eat fish but my other half does and he's never had an issue with the fish served here. For me though it's all about the chips and in my opinion this place does some of the best 'chipper' chips i've come across so keep it up! :)

Central Fish Bar, almost across the National Horseracing Museum, is a good option to have something fresh and tasty to eat, and you don't have to wait long for your meal; you can have a seat inside or outside the restaurant, or take the meal away. And a "small" portion from the menu is really very huge.

Overpriced and poor value for money. Cod and chipsPortion of chips2 x 500 ml bottles of coke totalled £11.60Virtually empty restaurantBurger sauces are priced at £2.60 a bottle and can be bought for £1.00 elsewhere. Will not be coming back

I don't often give excellent reviews, but when a place provides really good food and gives such good value and great service, what else is there to say? Well done Central Fish bar!
