Countesthorpe Fish Bar in Blaby

Lovely and fresh.. loved the staff. Definitely go again

Ordered a veggie kebab was mostly chillies , no haloumi as previously , also a chicken kebab was very disapointed very fatty chicken and no salad wasn't even asked about salad , very poor food and lack of communication

Crispy batter, white fish with depth tasty. Chips golden. Curry sauce very tasty. Mushy pea bit to mushy

Just had the mixed kebab and chips. Up there with the best if them! Thanks guys.

Large portion of chips just lately are NOT a large portion. But still getting charged for large!! Be vigilant public.....feel conned 😕

Very nice food 10 out of 10 from me but lol i ordered the mix combo wife ordered just mix and hers was massive mine was small 😢😢lol but fantastic food all deffo recommend

A vast improvement on the previous owners. Wonderful staff. Can get really busy, so that speaks volumes. Great portions at a fair price. Check them out of you get a chance!

Nice friendly chippy. Food well prepared.

Very quick service, all the classics and well executed. Very friendly service on a busy Friday evening and hot and freshly cooked. I walked so did not have the challenge of parking which can be a challenge. Lovely experience and food. Everything it needs to be and not trying to be anything it doesn’t need to be.

Clearly Murph spider walks round with his eyes closed because theres a cash point next to it at the co op and do cash back. Just a shame that people give them one star cause people are not clever enough to get some cash or open their eyes

Great chippies and fish and curry sauce In My belly. Cash only but near cash machine 🫰 thanks for food

Updating my previous review, as recently the food has been really good.

I’d highly recommend this chip shop, good quality chips and fresh with good sized portions, the fish is a good size with a amazing batter soft inside and crispy on the out simply amazing gets the tastebuds dancing. It is a good place. You will be seeing me again and again.

I visited here about 3 weeks ago and ordered two of the halloumi burgers which are advertised as vegetarian. However, they were cooking them on the same flat grill plate as they had just removed some of the chicken kebab meat from. They then moved our burgers down and put Donner meat on at the same time. The staff couldn't understand why it was an issue that the halloumi burgers and meat were being cooked on the same grill. Asked for a refund and will not be visiting here again. Also it is not good enough that you cannot pay by card.

I purchased a small portion of chips, and they had either been over cooked or perhaps reheated from lunch time. As they were only fit for the bin I shall not be shopping here again. Very dissapointing.

The first time we visited, we did not have cash. Hello, it's 2024, who doesn't accept card payment? The second visit was disappointing. The fish and chips were greasy, and the batter on the cod had an odd flavour and colour. This is one chippy we would not go back to. Stay away. Atmosphere and service like a wet February in Scunthorpe.

This is now my local having moved back to the village. Ive driven by it a few times but as there seemed to be a queue Ive always driven past, but this time I went in. I ordered a small fish, cone of chips and peas. It was all pretty nice. For a cone of chips there were a good amount, plenty for me. The fish, although ordered as a small, was enough and the peas were tasty. All seemed pretty pleasant, would be happy to go back for more. Cant believe people are whining that they dont take cards, it clearly says cash only and theres an ATM less than 10 seconds away.

Nice Chippy but does not take cards. That is not acceptable these days. On my last visit myself and other dissapointed customers were left to roam around the village looking for a working ATM or shop with cash back. Don't blame the card charges. We all know as business owners that they are quite low now. Besides Fish and chips is a very expensive treat these days. I'm sure you can pay the small fees. I will be periodically checking in to see if they get a machine. Until then I, and I'm sure many others will stay away.

Chips were nice got to admit. Small portions for the price. But wasn’t anything special.

Absolutely dreadful soggy chips, soggy batter on fish, the worst we've ever had, will never go back there

Ordered large Cod tonight, £7.30 it was cooked within a inch of its life. Very disappointed.

Nice fish and chips But very disorganised when it comes to ordering you don’t know if the queue is for telephone orders or people waiting you need to sort this out .

Been up all night with my 8 yr old projectile vomiting twice plus the other end ! only thing he had for his dinner was a small cod and chips from here ! We didn’t have any, make your own minds up but he’s never sick so I can only put it down to one thing ! we won’t be using this fish & chip shop again .

Fairly standard chippy not outstanding

terrible worst I've ever had refried chips , 🍟

A lovely piece of Cod cooked freshly to order, should have been fabulous, but miraculously slow, overcooked & the greasiest that I’ve ever attempted to eat. £9.70 with soggy chips & watery beans. Picked out the fish, binned the rest. I won’t be returning.

The worst fish and chips I have ever had bar none! Absolutely disgusting. How hard can it be to fry some fish and chips? Only thing that wasn’t rank was the beans! Congratulations on transferring from can to container without screwing it up!

Good chips. Wouldn't recommend the cornish pastie as its just a flat pukka pie

Quick service, fresh fish and a good choice of pizza, kebabs etc. Batter on the fish could be crisper. Worth a try.

Always great chips and service.

Absolute rubbish. Stale bad chips that went straight in the bin. Worst chip shop I've been into for a long time.

The chips are gorgeous and the fish is scummy too.

Served me and my partner raw chicken when we asked for a kebab when I went back he then said I have some fresh now if you would like to try that it was the same but I seen him put on 5 mins be4 hand wasn’t even cooked the manager then even said wait that’s not ready ! Honestly give this place a miss worst chip shop I’ve ever been to

Great chip shop. Lovely chips , fish is fresh and tasty and kebabs are tasty. Best chippie in area.

Excellent fish, large portions of chips.

Fresh food clean obviously care recommend this chip shop Highley

Fish and chips last night very greasy ,chips under cooked and soggy ,

Great food always hot and well cooked

Nice local place, we love your chips:)

I was able to park outside the shop as it was raining. The Fish & Chips were very nice and big proportions. All safe for Corona precautions. Will visit again soon

Best chicken kebab 🥙 ever. Would highly recommend. X.

Having switched to Countesthorpe a few years ago, we found it was generally good. It's a rarity we have fish and chips but we had a takeaway this week from there and the fish was flat as a pancake (Haddock) and the batter was extremely soggy. This was frustrating because although i was literally in and out in about 30 seconds as they quickly wrapped it all up, there was a nice battered fish in the display ready but for some reason we got the poorly battered ones and both of them were thin, soggy and generally a bit tasteless. I'm not sure if they switched suppliers of fish but the previous time we had Haddock from there the batter was minimal too but at least it was fairly crispy - this time it looked like it was literally shown the oil and dipped for about 20 seconds and that was it. The result was a soggy fish with hardly any batter. On top of that, me and the wife have had slightly "off" stomachs the last few days which can't be a coincidence. Oh, and one member of staff (the server was fine) was rude and seemed angry about something. We won't be returning.

Used to realy enjoy eating here BUT now chips are hard fritters are soggy Update : I did give this shop another chance and had a much better experience chips are better and the shop supplied a free drink on an extremely hot day. Nice food

By time got them enough oil in wrapping to fry them over again

Spot on.. good portions, nice fish and a friendly efficient service

Great Fish and chips and great kebabs

The salad on a kebab or more to the point lack of it... quarter of tomato slice of cucumber some lettus ....to be honest if you like a kebab best go somewhere else as they suck in this area

Miserable as sin the workers. Foods very average

Had better, chips good,fish a bit smelly,slow service

It is what It is. A good fish and chip shop. The fish is mainly cooked to order. Never had a bad take away to date. Always welcoming, and always well patronised.

Food has gone down hill. I think I will be looking for a new chip shop

One of the best chip shops in the county , good quality food with plenty of staff on duty to keep the que moving .

First time i have had fish & chips from here and sadly I will not be using them again, fish was certainly not that fresh very off white and chewy I left most of it

Pre-ordered food for my sons Birthday tea. Great service. Ready on time. Tasted great. Happy children!

Felt very ill after fish and chips from here, as did the rest of our group. Meal was extremely greasy. Suspect there is a problem with the type of oil being used.

Best fish & chips in Leicestershire.Generous portions, tasty chips, lush fishes and great customer service.I would recommend traveling to enjoy.No sit in though, just take-away.

Just been to countesthorpe fish bar and brought fish and chips, have to say I am not a person who complains very much but the quality of fish so bad I have to let other people know how bad it was PLEASE PLEASE go elsewhere, it must have been cooked on Saturday if not before and today is Monday. Do yourselves a favour stay away. One very disappointed EX customer.

Shocking..raw chips..it was a very good chippy 3 months ago.totaly gone down hill. Avoid avoid avoid

Having used this place for the last 14 years I can say its going through a bad patch. Both the fish and the chips are poor quality at the moment
