Duston Fish Bar in Northampton

Best fish n chips in Northampton

Happy to report this place again has the best chips in duston, possibly northampton, they had a little dip in quality a little while ago with hard chips, but it's now back to the high quality I love. Mahoooooooooosive portions of fish, and I can recommend the deep fried marsbar, it sounds so wrong, but it is gorgeous Excellent work peeps, keep it up. I really should have changed my review sooner.

I will not be using this chippy again. The chips were cold and the fish had been kept warm for a while on the counter.

I know times are hard but your portions have become ridiculous…. A small portion of chips was only enough chips to fill a cup - that’s how you loose good customers.

Great chippy that sells gravy!!

I travel 7 miles for these chips. Truly top 3 traditional chippy in town. Number 1 in my opinion also 1 of only places that do a battered mars bar try before u knock it !

Friendly and atmosphere upon entering and very attentive in regards to the order I placed, the food was great and freshly prepared. Thank you to the lovely girls who served me, keep up the good work

Was able to pre order , the fish and chips were delicious, pure white fish and lovely light batter ,chips good too. Always nice service.

Incredibly chip shop like. I am completely spellbound

Fresh and delicious! Useful and recommended! Very kind and polite people!

Have to give honest opinion unfortunately today the chips were soggy and tasted as if were left over from lunchtime, as did the battered sausage, which the batter being hard and tough to cut through and the sausage itself dry, again as if had been standing for a long period of time. It's such a shame as my previous meal from here was spot on.

Best fish and chips in Duston. Large portions, fish cooked to perfection and staff are speedy and friendly.

Only used this place once, for double burger and onion rings. The burgers come in a bap with absolutely nothing else: no salad, no sauce etc. Ridiculous. The burgers themselves are edible but taste like those ultra cheap low quality ones. I really didn't want to give a poor review but it does merit one. The prices are on par with other such takeaways, therefore I should reasonably expect salad, sauce etc and not ultra budget burgers.

Very nicely cooked fish with crisp batter. Too many chips for me! Especially as I sneaked in a (tasty) jumbo sausage too….

Excellent fish and chips. The fish batter is thin and crispy and lovely. Friendly people too. We always go here.

chips not cooked still soggy fish was ok but not now previios owners were better sorry .....end of the day go elseware....... regards was a customer

Really good soft chips, nice veggie burger and fish.

Portion size is terrible!! Ask for salad as well, as you can see nothing… chips were soggy to.. won’t be going back there.

Much cheaper than London. Long wait but all good

Always have a great takeaway from here

Absolutely love the chips from here. Great local chippy. Traditional store with good value prices. Also love their battered items, always fresh and not overly greasy/oily as it can be from other chip shops.

We had fish and chips last night.. everything was nice and hot and well cooked..the only trouble is it tasted of old oil..I hate to say but the meal didn't taste fresh..such a shame..

Northampton has some ok chip shops and this is one of them. Better than most.

Best fish and chips i've had in a long time.

Decided to try this local fish & chip shop after 2/3 years. So glad I did. Excellent service. Lovely batter on the fish. Fish not at all dry. Chips cooked to perfection. All in all, a lovely supper. I will return!!!

Beautiful food Very friendly service

Fish was nice but chips were awful, very dry like they had been reheated a few times, normally chips are nice but will have to rethink what chip shop to use in future

I was meant to go to the other chip shop in Duston and I wish I did. The food at this one is below average: Chips - soft and slightly soggy, no crisp to them whatsoever. The were opened within 5 mins of leaving the shop so not left wrapped up for ages. Battered sausage - was ok, crispy batter. Kebab - how hard is it to season some chicken and grill? Very apparently. Kind of felt like the chicken had been boiled and finished on the grill. Bland as hell. Poorly put together. I honestly didn't think kebabs could be this bad Service - can't fault very friendly and served quickly I don't particularly like being negative about a small business but it was honestly terrible. Sorry guys.

A great clean chippy that sells delicious fish and chips with good sized portions

Always lovely albeit they never quite got the system running for covid literally having customers out in the cold not knowing when their order is ready. Ordering in advance doesn't speed the process

Pro's: Lovely food and good value Con's; not what I would call Covid secure; no max number in store stated, that I could see and very little, if any, no ventilation. Ideally they should take orders at the door and ask customers to wait outside. I'm unlikely to visit again any time soon.

Disappointing senior meals ordered by phone batter soggy and undercooked chips not much better, although service was good

Top chip shop. Always good food .

Best fish and chips I ever had. Big portions, good price and very good service. They take card payments as well. 5 stars + ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very friendly staff. Food ordered cooked fresh and very tasty well priced portion size plenty big enough.

Excellent food, friendly service, just great...

We go here regular for fish and chips and always good service and excellent fish and chips would reccomend it

Fantastic fish and chips - reasonably priced and delicious.

Always great food. Lovely staff.

Really good food and very friendly service. This is a fantastic place to go and get a quick evening bite for you and your family.

Chips were great but more batter than fish😪

Lovely Fish and Chips. Fish always freshly cooked and not sitting under lights for ages. Chips not always so fresh but still good. We are pensoners and we really value the "senior offer" of F&C for £4.50 each. BARGAIN!

This Fish and Chip shop is awesome highly recommend everybody try this Fish and Chip Shop food cooked fresh so might have to wait 10 to 15 mins but well worth it, and you know you will go home happy with decent food also do dinner Kebabs which are nice...🐟🐟🐟🌮🌮🌮

Proberbly the best fish and chips in Northamptonshire

Fantastic fish and chips.. Friendly staff.

Great chips and best curry sauce

Not very happy fish was dry and thay forgot to put in curry sauce first time I have had a complaint.

Nicest fish and chips for miles around imo. Really light crispy batter on fresh tasty fish. Great crispy and soft chips. Ask for a paper bag!

Best Chippy in Northampton by a mile. Great food and fantastic service.

Superb fish. Amazing potatoes What more you need 🎆

used this fish and chip shop on many occasions, always good size portions, good quality chips, friendly staff and reasonable prices. need to work on allergens as cook battered sausages in the same oil as fish! if you are allergic to fish this is a problem!

Best fish and chips in Northampton

Lovely food if you don't mind waiting 15 minutes for it. Chips are never ready.

Very nice very busy love the chips

What a great fish & chip shop. food really great, best chips we have every had in Northampton. Definatley going to be a regular place to visit.

Duston Fish bar is just the best "chipperama" in Northampton. New young owners in the last couple of years [circa 2019] have taken the service to a new high level. As for their F&C . . . it is terrific - muyo yummy nosh indeed!

First rate well cooked. Friendly staff.never have to wait very long for order.

Popped in tonight for the familys tea and can honestly say we all thought it was superb! Best fish and chips we habe had in a long time, and no grease! Highly recommend.

Chips from here are the best by far in Northampton. Worth a drive and you will be back

Fish is good but I don't recommend the burgers

Great fish and chips and more. Order ealier to not to wait.

Very nice food and brilliant you can use a card for payment

Good value for money overall.Easy to get to.

The chips are not worth it. There are better places to go in Northampton. The service can be very slow, and it seems as if they favour some customers and prepare their order quicker than others.

Always good food, hot and cooked to order.

So friendly and always fresh to order.

Everyone needs a great Fish & Chip shop, this is the one ;-)

Happy staff, quick service, worth traveling a longer distance for. - Chips are awesome!

This review may seem unfair at first. Since I have lived in Duston, my family and I have been getting food from here. So from 2001, or so. Lovingly run by the wonderful Albert and Wella for such a long time, I could not fault the place. Recently however, after their retirement, the people who have taken over do not know what they are doing. The food has been consistently awful since Albert and Wella have gone. Petrified cod, charcoal kebab, congealed chips... it's a real shame.

Been here many times and the owners are always friendly. Usually give you free chips to eat whilst waiting too. Good portions at reasonable prices.

Great Fish & Chips, lovely couple run it. Very busy at times - which tells you all you need to know. Certainly the best chippy in Duston, and probably the best in Northampton.

Depends upon what you read, the BEST CHIPPY in Duston by far, is the other end of Main Road, opposite the Squirrels public house. Never use this one, so not able to pass judgement.

Recommended by a friend. We paid a visit yesterday. Definitely worth going. Great fresh fish and fabulous chips, beautifully cooked. Very fast and friendly service.

Very bad. No longer vegetarian chips. They cook fish and meat in with chips. Was told they cook separate then spotted they weren't.

Surely this can't be best chippy in Duston , they use frozen chips ! Kebab meat was dry , would have been nice 3 hours ago .

Best chippy in duston. Great service great food x

Awesome place, battered codnus a dream. Big portions too. Albert and Wells lovely people

Very good. Top award for this place.

Great food good sized portions excellent customer service

Until very recently I would have given 5 stars, but they got my last order totally wrong; agreed to give me another meal for free - they dramatically reduced the meat in the replacement. Sorry very poor service

Absolutely FIRST CLASS chippy, plenty of options to select from, the freshly cooked fish and chips are to die for. The owners are Albert and Wella who are such kind and considerate people. They have entered the Northamptonshire Chip shop of the year competition on two occasions and WON in 2015 and came in 2nd in 2016, well deserved for their high quality of food and their cleanliness, also their very hard work.

This place does the best fish and chips. Freshly cooked. The couple who own it are soooo good. Keep up the good work. I travel from spinney hill which is 5 miles from this place. That is how good the food is.

Fish and chips ok. Normally, fish batter way too thick or not fully cooked whilst chips are very greasy. Best to order by phone first and pick up to avoid waiting too long.

one of the best in town.in fact it won a chippy of the year 2016

Consistently good over the 20 plus years I've been a customer. Great food and good prices. Parking can be tricky at times but it's worth the effort to get there. They also deliver.

The best fish and chips in St. Albans!

Really nice fish bar. The decor is really cool and the customer service is top too.

Award winning chippy, great service, very friendly, it's popular for a reason - Great Food.

Fresh and good portions. Lovely family.

The owners make it worth visiting!

Always great quality and the couple there are always so happy to see you. Polite courteous and always willing to give a decent portion.

Lovely fish and chips. Owners very friendly and real characters highly recommended for take away fish and chips

100% good food well worth the money

21th century and no card accepted ?!!!

Great fish and chips. The small chips and a huge portion. Enjoyed by all the family.

Wouldn't go anywhere else. The code has to be best in St Albans. Nothing is ever greacey.

Great chips and large portions.

Great chinese. Friendly staff and good portions.

Lovely food, usually a wait but in the end the food is amazing for a takeaway

Friendly owners, big portions and nice food. Not sure about Declan's review on here, sounds like a crank to me going by his other reviews.
