Good fish and chips are not easy to get right but this place manages that. The fish was good and without too much batter and the chips were some of the best we have eaten for a while.

Friendly little fish and chip village shop. Very friendly staff, happy to chat whilst waiting for our freshly prepared and cooked food. Size of portions were good, fish was good, plenty of chips, not overly expensive either. A good find on our first evening at this village, hungry travellers!

Having read so many negative reviews of this place just had to give it a try. Early evening and very busy trade. Two young people serving (probably finished the paper rounds earlier)with the older frier , cooking the fish to order. No chef in sight, though didn't expect to see one. The fish was better quality than French's which we had when first arrived in norfolk. Although a bit small , will have larger fish next time. The chips were good and 1 portion would have been enough for us both. Why is the fish skin left on down here ? Never going to eat it, at home no fish is served with the skin on, well not from a fish and chip shop. A little on the pricey side but probably to be expected due to lack of competition. Takes cards as well as cash so no problems there. All in all a decent visit and will go again before going home. But if you want Great Fish and Chips visit the Wetherby whaler in Yorkshire ! Though you don't get a slice of lemon there either.

We were slightly reticent about going after reading the recent reviews but we risked it and glad we did. Was it the best fish and chips...no.....was it the worst......no. Would we have them again...yes Definitely better if you are lucky and get freshly cooked fish!

We found this fish and chip shop disappointing, the owner certainly wasn’t user friendly and miserable. The food had been kept hot for a while and certainly wasn’t freshly cooked and not pleasant at all, with chips that were scraps that cut your mouth.

On our recent stay in Norfolk we visted Docking Fish Bar, for fish and chips takeaway, Good size cod and massive plaice with generous portion of chips and scraps. I would recommend.

I gave this a 2 as it was clean, however, we couldn't believe the lack of friendliness, no interest in any conversation blank looks and just plain depressing atmosphere. Extremely expensive and greasy, no consistency in serving sizes and not a slice of lemon to be had... We won't be back

We happened to be staying close to Docking Fish Bar so thought we'd give it a try. It looks enticing from the outside, with smartly dressed staff, friendly enough and with a regular passing trade by the looks of things. Sorry to say, whilst we were all hungry & ate the lot, the cod was greasy (cheap thin cut with skin on) and chips sub-par.

Hot food and plenty for 2 with only one box of chips. Nice to see card packaging used although I did refuse the plastic bag. Fast service with 2 customers only in the waiting area, another lady was sent out until someone had gone from in the shop, all staff with masks as well. Very nice, will go back.

Staying in nearby cottage the local chippy was recommended as excellent. Unfortunately this was not our experience. The cod was so thin and batter soggy. Not worth the £4.50 charged. Chips okay, but after a 2 minute walk back needed warming up in the microwave. Also why do wrapped fish and chips need to come with a polystyrene tray? Can't be recycled and bad for the environment - No need for it! Three staff in the shop but no acknowledgement except from the lad serving and why cash only? During Covid-19 handling cash and food should be avoided.

Went for fish and chips for eight of us - my goodness, it was bad!!! The chips were terrible: hardly any good ones and loads of tiny scraps of chips - like they were the leftovers, even though it was only 6pm. The fish portions were tiny. The worst fish and chips ever... and we went out of our way for these . I wasn’t impressed

Was passing at 5pm so thought would try their fish n chips for tea. What a big mistake.Firstly the fish was so small and thin it couldn’t have weighed no more than 3 ounces, the chips were probably new potatoes But they hadn’t been rumbled so skin on tough small tasteless bits served on the smallest white food tray I’ve seen. Absolute ripoff I have never had or seen such a minuscule portion of food.Fish n chip shops like this one should be accountable and display the weight of the items you are buying as you would if buying from a store or supermarket.STOP RIPPING US OFF!! Be accountable.

It was the first night of our holiday so we thought we would take the easy option of a Fish and Chip takeaway at the local chippy. There was a small queue which is often good and the staff were friendly, with our food being ready in a little more than 5 minutes and then the short drive to our cottage.

Popped in with a friend to grab cod and chips for Fat night and they were rammed with customers, summer is here and so are the holiday makers and this place is popular and I can see why. Only 2 members of staff working and they were working so hard and doing an absolutely fantastic job, we didn’t have to wait more than 10mins even though the line was out the door! Beautiful freshly cooked fish and chips we could have eaten it twice it was so good. Really friendly chaps and they went out of their way for customers requests.

Have eaten from here a few times when on holiday in Docking, it really is a great chippy. Lovely fresh fish and they do haddock which I prefer, batter is nice and light. More importantly they cook the chips properly, chips from our local at home are always undercooked and anaemic looking, here they are golden and lovely.

We generally visit here for fish and chips on holiday. Unfortunately this year they weren't as good. The chips were ok but everyone who had fish in our large group (both haddock and cod) had the batter completely removed on opening the paper as it was completely stuck to it and the fish wasn't as nice as it usually is. Hopefully just a bad night

At the end of an eventful day at the beach, we were all feeling a little tired & decided to call in to the Fish Bar at Docking which we had passed earlier in the day.We ordered fish, chips & mushy peas for 6 & continued on our way back to Sedgeford where we were holidaying. The shop had a good selection of fish and was nice & clean.The food smelled scrumptious & proved to be one of the best meals from a fish bar we had ever tasted. The food was fresh & well cooked without being greasy or fatty.The two little under 5 year olds ate the meal happily & we all agreed that we had made a good decision in buying from this shop

Docking must be proud of you - it is worth a detour for anyone to sample the fare. Well done.

I've tried mostly all of the Fish and Chip.shops in Hunny, this place is by far the best fish and chips in Hunstanton. They also cook everything in beef dripping, like the good old days. The batter on the fish was just perfect, crispy and melting in your mouth. The chips was freshly made and just perfect and delicious. The staff was very friendly and the owner was there too and was hands on, keeping an eye on things, which is a good sign. The portions are massive, if you are not a big eater, you can easily share a portion of fish and chips.
