Finn's Fish & Chips in Reading

Lovely fish and chip shop, friendly staff and my favourite place to get a battered sausage!!

The staff were lovely: kind, polite and generous with smiles. The fish was delicious, fresh and crispy. Thank you! ☺️

Very good experience, highly recommend

Really good chips and really quick, prices aren’t bad

Sukh and gurwinder were brilliant, loved it!

great food great people loved it

Best fish and chips shop in reading. I heard so much about this plaice but never tried it. I tired it today I would say everything was freshly cooked and their homemade tartar sauce was amazing. Service with smile and food was excellent

great experience overall, workers were nice to talk to, and very fresh food

Staff were lovely, food was amazing and good for money!

At last we do have a great Fish and Chip shop I found this place over the Easter period I was working local so popped in a ordered wasn’t disappointed great fresh food Went back a few days later and it was the same great hot food We have now moved to having our order delivered and again great food which arrives hot food sizes are good The only thing is it’s a bit pricey but you do get amazing food I think

Finn's has been my go to place for chippy deliveries for some time now, so I was gutted when it closed for a while, but I'm pleased to say that the new owners have maintained the high quality of food. I'm especially pleased as it is one of the few places that still does a spam fritter. My only "complaint" is the chip portions are massive. I don't like food waste and I can never finish a full portion so personally I'd like something slightly smaller, but it's not really a negative hence me putting "complaint" in quotes. That said, I do hope the new owners get poutine back on the menu. There are other places in Reading which claim to sell poutine, but they aren't the proper Canadian recipe. The poutine that Finn's used to do was fantastic, and I would love to be able to order it again.

We had such a great meal from here. Staff friendly and the place was so clean and well-organised! Great portions and the chicken burgers were some of the best we've had in a while. We will be back for more!

First time we have been to fins the quality , quantity , and most importantly the value the staff that own this are kind and very polite and service is efficient 5 stars all the way we will definitely be going back

Lovely fish and chips, some of the best in Reading!

I rarely recommend places. However my wife is a Coeliac and so we popped here on a Tuesday around 1230pm. Battered Fish (GF) superb, chips superb and plentiful - recommended. The guy serving was so polite too.. 👍

It’s fish & chips made right, that’s it. Go and get it. I also need to add that their branding is clear and well-designed. (A quick note: They fry fish and sausages separately)

A very large order was placed for a function and the Finns team surpassed expectation. All the parcels of food were delicious, hot and served beautifully. I don't know how you managed it but we highly recommend Finns, not only for their lovely food, but for parties and big get together alike. Simi - thank you. 🙂

Chips great. Fish great. Staff great. It was great

Amazing service and amazing food

Great food and great service! Staff are always so lovely!

Amazing service and very quick when ordering. Food was very good as well. Could not be happier!

Great Fish and Chips at a reasonable price, Although they accept card payments - I fully support giving small businesses cash as for every transaction they have to pay the card machine company a percentage fee, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants great tasting traditional Fish and chips.

I just had my first fish and chips in about two years as I became gluten intolerant. I was so impressed. The food was great, well cooked, good portion sizes and priced affordably and the same as if it contained gluten (which anyone who is coeliac will know is a rarity)! I really enjoyed it. I appreciate them dedicating Tuesdays to cater for those of us who are gluten intolerant. It was a real treat. Thank you Finns!

Sukh is such a legend; Best chippy in the area, thank you!

Really great fish and chips restaurant. I tried cod and chips with mushy peas. Fish is big and crispy. Also, they serve enough chips. Staff are very kind as well

We visited the shop today, there was a small misunderstanding with the order. It could possibly be made clearer that you need to ask for the lunchtime deal or be asked. That said the owner was very gracious in sorting it out immediately. We only had Sausage and Chips, it was outstanding!!! There are so few chips shops serving this standard anymore, you’d have to travel quite a distance to find another locally.

Visited for the first time. Fish and chips was lovely. Would recommend.

Very tasty and cheap prices. Very friendly owner.Greetings from Germany🇩🇪

We tried Finns for the first time today via an online order for collection. It was super easy with only a 20 mins wait to collect. Everything we ordered (Cod, Sausage, Chips) was cooked perfectly, crispy and not greasy or soggy. It was fresh and hot. It was all delicious, their minted mushy peas were a nice surprise and really good. We also tried the pigs in blankets which I thought was a really fun way of keeping things Christmassy on the menu at this time of year. Don’t be fooled, they’re significant in size and came with cranberry jam which made them even better. The location is convenient although no parking directly outside (unless someone waits in the car - its permits only with double yellow lines) but there is paid parking on the main road a few feet away. Overall great value and a friendly smiley customer service. We’ll be going back soon.

Amazing place near students housing. Good customer Service

Excellent food and great customer service would highly recommend!!

Great for gluten free fish and chips!

Probably the best fish 🐟 and chips in Reading

Exquisite food, first time coming to the uk from australia, banging meal!

The last time visited this place was in COVID where the old owners were charging ridiculous prices for basic fish and chips. I went in there today and have found they now have new owners, Friendly service and the prices are actually a lot cheaper now and the food quality has definitely improved. I would certainly recommend.

Tasty battered sausage and chips

Good fish&chips, and battered Sausage. Sides mushy peas (with mint) tasted good, curry sauce was on the thicker than usual. Tartar sauce was great. Would get take out from here again.

Back at Finn's for the second time since the reopening. Lovely cod, chips and mushy peas, and very friendly service from Jay and the team.

Lovely chippie for a nice lunch or dinner. Decent prices, good portions and friendly service. Will be back.

Lunch packs were great value and it was the best cod and chips we have had since being back in the UK.

So glad Finns is back- and better than ever! Easy online ordering, friendly staff and delicious food. The fish is lovely and crispy and the tartar sauce is a real highlight :) highly recommend!

Great chips. Fish was fried when ordered and a fair sized portion.

The food was under cooked, over priced, a large chips is 3.5 and a cheesy chips is £5 so why do you get about 20 chips with microwaved cheese on for less food. I honestly wouldn't waste your time going

I had a few times fish&chips from Finn’s always delicious. Service with the smile. Highly recommend!

Iqbal Singh had very great customer service.

Always a great experience when I order from Finn’s, great food and friendly staff what more could you want! Best chip shop in Berkshire

Finns fish& Chips under new management. Provide good quality food.

While eating this meal, I saw the gateway to heaven. The chicken wrap was lovely, don't get me started on the fish and chips. The gravy was nothing short of orgasmic. I would love to show Finn a good time.

Very good food, especially crispy chicken wrap, very kind staff!

Under new management. If you're reading this, I presume you want to know how it stacks up against previous experience. A perfectly good fish and chips with decent mushy peas. It's different however - the breading has a slightly different quality and taste (still crispy, a touch heavier, oil taste taste was a bit different). Chips were still great (thick, and clearly made from cut potatoes). Mushy peas were good, but they seemed to have a slightly different recipe. It's all good - now a bit closer to the average chippie. As other have said, the menu has expanded, and also removed a few items (poutine and tartar included, at least via online order). Here's the thing - if you already like fish and chips, there's zero reason you wouldn't like this, and you might appreciate the new menu. If you liked Finn's for their elevated quality, you'll find a slight (definitely subjective) difference - but it's worth trying. FWIW - I'm glad the brand is back, and I plan to keep ordering, but I'll probably be changing my usuals. Conscious that nostalgia is a powerful drug, so looking forward to seeing how they fare outside the shadow of 'old' Finn's.

Lovely service and the food was beautiful Blud.

Superb Fish and Chips! Under new management, Jay provided us a delicious supper: Freshly cooked cod and chips, excellent portion size, crispy batter on cod, skinless and boneless fillet. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

First time visiting and did not disappoint food was really lovely friendly service. Was very nice to meet you Jay will definitely be back.

Not as good chips, sauces etc compared to previous ownership. Super friendly staff and gave us free drinks whilst waiting which was nice. Miss the poutine Prices a tad high for a chippy but all prices are mental at the moment.

Top class food. The new owner, Jay, is brilliant. Would highly recommend. Top quality place and food.

Very good. Happy to see them open again with new owners. Chips were nice and you get plenty for a regular portion. Good portion of fish with batter that stays crispy all the way home.

Gluten free Tuesdays is amazing, even the curry sauce is gluten free!

Went on Tuesday 17th with the new managements taking over and the food was amazing 10/10 sasuage and chips , also would like to say the new owner called Jay is very kind and talkative , great owner, would recommend highly best food I’ve had

Best staff around. Take good care of you and the food is amazing. 10/10

High quality fish and chips 🍟 customer service is very good 👍

Amazing Fish & Chips Under New Management! I recently visited this fish and chips shop, now under new management, and I couldn't be more impressed. Jay, the new owner, genuinely cares about providing outstanding customer service and top-quality food. The fish is perfectly battered – crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality in every bite. If you're looking for a place that serves the best fish and chips with a focus on excellence, this is it! Highly recommended.

Huge portions, fresh fish, lovely staff - cheers Jay for the good service

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Oscar Mccarthy Was the best when we went the shop gave us extra salt on the Chip

I ordered Cod and chips for 4 people. The price was about £11 each. It was early evening so there was no one else in the shop. Food was freshly made and very delicious. However, i was a bit disappointed when i asked for sauce like mayonnaise or ketchup and told they dont include any sauce. Pricewise for a similar price, comparable shops in area (like Mr. Cod) for fish and chips offer similar portions but also include free soft drinks, salad, and sauce. Shop was very clean and well presented and excellent customer service.

Food was delicious. Everything fresh and hot.

Overpriced for the portion size, also no salt and vinegar added as instructed. Disappointing service and quality.

Absolutely delicious! 😋 The fish tasted fresh and the portion size was perfect. Lovely curry sauce too.

Went on gluten free Tuesday! Brilliant. 2 coeliacs ate full fish n chips with no issues. Unfortunately the sausages were not gf and obviously we avoided the vinegar but otherwise this was a great takeaway experience for our family Def recommend

A bit of a wait...but what do you expect on a Saturday evening?! Worth the wait. Polite and friendly service.

Always top notch. The minted peas are special!

Absolutely awful. Will not be coming back. I paid £3.50 for a regular portion of chips - I was given small handful of chips, there can’t have been more than 10 or so chips in the portion. Taking the mick. You’re much better going to Top Table fish and chips or New city fish and chips which are both nearby for very generous portions at a much more reasonable price. We will not be coming back here and I urge you not to waste your money either. Fish was also disappointing and veggie burgers average. Feel cheated out of our money for a tiny portion of chips which weren’t very nice either. Not sure how they are getting away with this awful service and taking of money.

It is insane that despite the fact that Reading is nowhere near the sea, their fish is super fresh. For someone who grew up around seafood and the sea itself, it was shocker how smooth and moist the fish. It was flavorsome and had the best batter in existent. Completely overshadows the chips and sausage which were good in their own right too. Easily the best fish and chips I've had so far. The menu in the photos are outdated though so beware of that.

Miles better than Mr Cod, definitely go to Finn's if you're in the mood for fish and chips

What a let down I was so looking forward to some traditional english style fish and chips. We got home and OMG i have never been so disappointed - the chips were under cooked inside but over cooked outside! Is this even possible! The owner Jeff is so rude and does not take any ownership for cutting corners. I will go back to the cheaper chinese who are ten times better at this and actually Taste good with the service This awful meal cost me £30 and we couldn’t even enjoy it!

Biggest test for a chippy is the chips imo. If they can't get the chips right, then that's not a good sign. The chips we got weren't outright bad - my boyfriend actively disliked them though, I ate the majority - just seemed re-fried.. Like they were sat out, got cold, so just re-fried. They were brown versus, golden, and stale/hard, versus crispy and fluffy inside. Everything else we got was really good, which is a huge shame.. Even if it's quiet, with how cheap they are, there is never an excuse to re-fry chips.

Best Fish & Chips in town! Also loved your onion rings! ✨

Best fish and chips in Reading, fresh and crispy

I took a normal portion of cod and a large portion of fried potatoes, a curry sauce (the sauce was very good and seemed to be from Maggi). It was extraordinary. The one who served me was very kind. 5* with congratulations.

Fantastic fish and chips, fab selection and the best quality ive seen away from the coast.

Do not order on deliveroo. £15 for a cod the size of a chicken nugget and no warning to say you have to order chips separately. Very disappointed!

The cod was tiny, basically unbattered and soggy. The chips seemed old with no salt or vinegar. Not good

Exceptional customer care. Finns rang me up to check that I had meant to order only fish. (I thought I’d ordered chips as well, so was SO pleased that they checked.). Food was delivered quickly and was delicious.

Very small fish portion, used to be much bigger. Terrible customer service.

Tbh I don’t know where are these good reviews coming from Either I wasn’t lucky and didn’t get a proper fish and chips twice or people haven’t tried the proper one!! Definitely not recommended 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Rarely in Reading these days but paid a repeat visit this evening. Did not disappoint: excellent pieces of moist, flakey haddock in a crisp batter and well cooked chips. Very good.

Amazing fish and chips and customer service. Would recommend

ordered today and arrived without chips and fish disgusting refusing to answer the phone do not order from here absolute joke

Lovely fish and chips. Be prepared for a wait as they are always busy but worth it.

On of the best fish and Chips Restaurant in Great Reading area.

Omg best ever great service and excellent food.😋

Very small fish portion through deliveroo, just didn't seem worth the money. I'm sure the portions used to be bigger.

Disgusting and inedible - under cooked fish, had to throw away. Rang and only advice was to contact ubereats, no offer of delivering an edible meal.

Poor service, women behind the counter almost blatantly ignored my partner and I and went to serve two other customers while we were waiting at the front of the queue. Not sure if it was her first shift. We decided to just leave which is a shame as the food is always amazing.

Best fish and chips in Reading.

Fresh fish, perfectly cooked chips. Can't fault it!

Ordered one thing with gravy and the staff gave me curry sauce. Strange. To add, staff were incredibly slow and touched my food after handling cash. Waste of my money

Having recently moved to the area we wanted to find a decent fish and chip shop. After a few try outs with other shops we came across Finn's and we are so glad we did. The fish and chips are always cooked to perfection and not at all greasy!! The only thing that's changed from our first few orders is mint sauce has been added to the mushy peas the past few times now so i won't be ordering those again.

Was recommended to try this Fish & Chip shop, we tried it & never stopped going. The food is fabulous, the fish is outstanding, chip are lush, home made tartare sauce is excellent, also had curry sauce (gotta buy 2 as wife ate most of it lol), it's a very delightful plaice to go for dinner to take away, will definitely recommend to anyone who wants Fish & Chips.

Scampi was nice. Fish and chips were decent but pricey.
