Fishers of Hunstanton in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Exactly on the 7th of January 2025, at approximately 6-7 pm me and my wife decided to grab a bite after a long day's work. The service that we got at the take-out was only obnoxious. The brunette lady at the counter seemed to have a problem with accepting Eastern European and American accents so if you're not within the deemed acceptable clientele - stay away. Even more so - there was a difference between serving us as opposed to the other customers, perhaps also attributed to the melanin I have? Either way if youre a Yank or European or any other nationality for that matter - I'd not recommend the very unfriendliness we experienced. The fish itself was not too bad, but we've had better ones - the atmosphere encountered spoiled the taste.

Terrible and not friendly service.

Took our autistic son for a meal there, staff were amazing especially one young man who made my sons day was happy and energetic very polite and fun amazing place well worth a visit excellent food and food value

Fishers was closed on boxing day, said on the website open. Great fish and chips, very good ordered system

I can't recommend this place enough. The best curry sauce I've ever had in my entire life. The staff are so friendly and amazing. It really is the best chip shop!

Went to Fishers today- ordered a large cod chips, peas and curry sauce. Which my husband and I shared. The lady that served me had said it would be large - what we had was enormous and the b st fish and chips we have had for years. Definitely would recommend this shop and see why it has been given top ten in the country by the times.

Wow, what a wonderful place. The food was freshly made, excellent quality, quantity and very well priced. Personal thanks to Benny for being so helpful and friendly. You truly are a beautiful person, we loved your little jokes and humour. You really cheered us up after a long cold walk along the coast. X

Large fresh Cod and tasty chips. Best in Hunstanton.

Had cod and chips for our lunch today, as usual the fish was lovely but the chips were inedible, some were black and they all seemed like they had been refried.

Fantastic fish and chips , very friendly and helpful staff would highly recommend

Benny and the team made special allowances for our large party on the Monday before Christmas and the food and service was excellent. Felt very relaxed and had a great time! Will definitely visit again,

Very nice food, served quickly. Portions a little small otherwise would have been 5 star

Online Ordered 21/12/24 ( 2 separate orders, same time for collection 2 hours later) 4 cod & chips, 1 plaice and chips, 1 child's meal. Arrived to collect, had to wait as 1 order wasn't ready. Got home and was really disappointed. Fish dry and hard, very overcooked. Chips very hard and bitty. 30% edible. Could not actually work out which was the plaice as fish was all indistinguishable. Live locally and have previously preferred to get fish and chips from Fishers due to the quality and freshness. Always been highly satisfied. On this occasion it was not good and most of the fish and chips were binned. Sorry for the negative review but on this occasion the food was not your usual standard

Myself and friend visited fishers for the first time today .we found the premise very clean and a pleasure to walk into , we were greeted straight away by a polite and very friendly sociable man who promptly seated us , within three minutes our order was taken . We both had the cod and chips and was pleasantly surprised as to how well this meal was cooked , the chips were done well with a slight crispness to them , in our opinion perfectly cooked , the cod was delicious with the batter was of a consistency of light and crispy ,not overly cooked , i personally asked to see the chef and thanked him for providing such a very well cooked meal. The waitress was a very delightful young lady and very efficient and pleasant with us . Impressed!we both certainly are and shall travel to Hunstanton again to this restaurant without a doubt .thank you 🙏🕊️

Brilliant fish and chips, excellent cuppa and great service. Not busy as a winter early evening and Benny who served us was great. Will definitely be back.

Service was great, food was tasty. Went as a group of 35 and every order was bang-on and bang-ing! We mainly ordered cod and chips, with various peas, mushy peas or beans. The manager brought out complimentary gravy, curry sauce and generous plates of bread and butter. We couldn’t fault this place - thank you.

Had a really lovely meal here this evening with a large group of us. We were incredibly well looked after by Benji and the team. The food was incredible and great value for money. Thank you so much!

Lovely food but expensive, as is everything these days. Thank you!

Thank you Benny and Sally, nothing too much trouble. Delicious food and a lovely cuppa. See you next time. The ticket man lol.

Good old Fish and chips,went in for a meal very pleased with the service a very pleasant lady was controlling the shop made us feel very at home. So sorry for her recent incident she had to deal with. My advise keep doing as you are all is good.

Been here a few time and it’s always been Fab food and lovely staff, Benny and Sally were so friendly and kind! Would definitely recommend it here ☺️

We were getting married in Hunstanton on September 14th this year, and as quite a few guests were arriving the day before, we thought it would be great to meet up for fish and chips in the evening. I phoned just about every F&C restaurant in the town to try to book in 16 guests, but all refused to take bookings for that number. Then I finally tried Fishers, who had no hesitation taking the booking with just a £20 securing deposit that came off the final bill. When we arrived on the evening of the 13th, we were welcomed by the enthusiastic manager who had reserved an area for ourselves and our guests. Not only that, but they had decorated our area and tables with wedding day banners and balloons, had wedding music playing, and for myself and my wife to be, had placed a small bottle of prosecco and a champagne flute for each of us. Several of us were past retirement age and were offered the reduced price meals and there was no problem with children's meals for the 3 small children we had with us. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious as were the amazing sweets. Finally, the manager and his staff were wonderful, serving us accompanied with smiles and humour. Everybody agreed it was a wonderful evening and a great prelude to our wedding day. We will be back!!!

Food was tasty Crispy batter on the fish, didn't have haddock tho! Chips were cooked Big portions Quite expensive

Absolutely grotty chips and fish wasn't much better.

Lovely fish and chips, but it wants to be for costing near on £30 for 2 cod and chips to take away.

Benny and team were fantastic. Super welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us and just a real friendly bunch and the food is out of this world. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

We went and purchased some fish and chips after a 3 hr drive. Asked to use the loo in the adjoining restaurant and was told no! Hence the mark down for service

Two of us ordered the battered sausage meal and one the vegetable lasagne meal. My wife (Lasagne meal) asked if she could swap her side of peas for coleslaw. The sausage meal comes with chips and a choice of minted mushy peas, peas, beans, curry or gravy. I asked for minted peas, the daughter chose curry sauce. If you look at my image of the menu, you will see the sausage is stated as 1ft long, if you look at my image of the meal, you will see it’s a standard sausage. My wife’s meal arrived and we reminded the waitress it should have coleslaw. Then the two sausage meals arrived. I queried the size with the waitress who said you need to state “Jumbo” this is a lie as nowhere does it state that on the menu meal. I reminded her of the missing coleslaw and we were told there is none left before walking off. Nobody told us this at the start, my wife would have had peas if they did. When the bill arrived, there was an extra side charge of coleslaw. I challenged the price and they removed the coleslaw. I’ve no idea if they try pulling this trick on everyone, I am sending my images and experience to trading standards, it’s a shame as the food they did serve tasted fine

MARVELLOUS MACEY ..!! Just wanted to share my love and appreciation for Marvellous MACEY. I visited the restaurant this week and I was greeted with such love and kindness from MACEY. I am a super fussy eater and MACEY was very patient and kind to me. Nothing was to much trouble and she really went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. I really appreciate the exquisite customer service I received from MACEY. The other staff Chloe and Sally were also lovely and very family orintated. The food was good fresh and hot. They even provided colouring for the children. The location is great and thr decor was traditional. All in all a SUPERB experience..!! Thank you ever you so much Marvellous MACEY, Chloe and Sally for making my visit so memorable..!! Lots of Love & Unicorn Sparkles Baker-Girl 🦄✨💖🌈x x x x

My first time eating fish and chips in England. And it was an absolute blast. I highly recommend this restaurant. The waiters are absolute lovely and my whole family loved it. Greetings from the german family to Benny and the Rest of the service staff. Keep up the good work.

We used to buy from here frequently. 45 min drive for a walk and treat ourselves to food . Sadly we won't bother again . The chips were burnt scraps , veggie burger was grim ( the bun a weird texture and yellow in colour ) not to mention horrible taste . The mushy peas were a revelation..... They were brown . I mean really brown 😕 . I have never seen brown peas before. When we tried to change them we found out they were all the same . It seems they warm them up and put them in individual portions and then incinerate them under the heat lamps until they are a tasty visual treat .... BROWN peas ... Never had that before and never again cos we won't be back not even if I was starving.

For fish & chips in Hunstanton this is the place.

Atmosphere, so positive, staff amazing. Best fish and chips for a long time. We're going to visit again!

Nice clean place staff were all friendly and food was lovely massive burgers and massive fish great place to take the family

Stopped for some fish and chips. Chose the pensioners meal deal but the best part was the nice fresh chips, the rest was quite drab.

Great food Had pensioners special which was good value for money .The brother and sister cannot fault them . Customer service is like second nature to them . Wonderful will be back next time on holiday

Wow So pleased we popped in .Great food .Had the pensioners special Value for money and right amount . .Wheelchair friendly ..Staff are excellent they know what customer service means .The brother and sister could teach customer service for a living .A few of other places to eat in Hunstanton should take note .

Popped in on our way back to apartment which is nearby. Waitress suggested Pensioners deal £10.50. portions for two good size and excellent value. Waitress was very pleasant.

Enjoyed a very tasty Senior Citizen’s fish & chip dinner at a fantastic price of £10.95. Very kind & obliging staff so couldn’t have been better. Always happy to return!

Good food! Looks expensive but you get so much food for what you pay for! We couldn’t finish it!

Beautiful Fish & Chips, staff friendly, all freshly prepared in the restaurant, mushy peas and curry sauce all lovely at the seaside.

The haddock was lovely with crispy batter. Chips were also very good.

Called in on the off chance great greeting sat in the window table a nice view of the sea Benny served use with one of the best fish and chips we have ever eating ,Benny great guy made use so welcome a laugh a minute

Exactly how a fish and chip shop should be. 👍 Although it was very busy, the service was very prompt and my order was ready in a few minutes and tasted delicious. 😋 IMO, far superior to Eric's at Thornham and better value!! 💷

Lovely fish and chips, friendly stahh and good value Pensioners Special Always come here when on holiday in Hunstanton.

Lovely welcoming staff, great fish and chips and reasonable prices. Perfect

Nice fish & chips with good service.

We visited Hunstanton and had the great pleasure of eating in at Fishers today. We both had the Cod and Chips with minted mushy peas. The size and quality of Cod with it light crispy batter was perfectly cooked delicious. The chips were freshly cooked and gorgeous. The service by Benny and the team was fast and efficient and we were made to feel special just as the meal was. We can both highly recommend the eating experience and the lovely team were very helpful, polite and made our visit a real treat. Thank you. Dave and Kim Chelmsford

Best place for fish and chips in town

Fish and chips were the best we have ever had. Peas had a bit of mint in them which was very nice. Large cod was a very large cod. We had not seen a piece this big before.

One of the best places for fish and chips

We had a great experience from the moment we walked into fishers. The staff were so welcoming and polite and obviously happy in their job. Special shout out to Barry who was a joy so friendly and chatty. The food was amazing the curry sauce was best we had tasted for years. Even the playlist was happy music. We will definitely be back next year when we holiday here again.

We visited Fishers as part of a day trip to Hunstanton. The service was excellent, from our server Benny, who was amazing and wonderful to talk to. The food was the best fish and chips we’ve ever had, 10/10 will return.

As good as it gets. Top service, generous high quality portions so no wonder they are in the top 10 in the country.

Fish was great but the chips were extremely disappointing. Just a few scrappings. Will try one of the other shops on our next visit.

Bloomin gorgeous!! Piping hot and freshly cooked....a lovely flat white too! Will definitely visit again x

Fantastic food served by a friendly and engaged team. Everything a seaside chippie should be!

Not the greatest value 3 quid for chips and I think it was 8.75? For standard cod and £3 for a bottle of oasis ! The thinnest batter I have ever had u could see the fish through it should have taken it back really surely there must be better to be had in Hunstanton . To be fair it was cooked fresh but overall a disappointment

Really lovely restaurant. Staff were all very friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. Would certainly go back here when I'm next in Sunny Hunny 🌞

Went with my family last Friday evening, 2 adults 3 children 9+. Luckily managed to catch the 7:30pm restaurant entry cut off time, however, no time limit once seated, even after the takeaway closes at 8:00. We were greeted by a male server, full of life, soul and cheer. Seated in the window it was perfect to watch the sun set over the wash. Our orders were taken and the food arrived very soon after. We ordered main meals and sides, all of which were hot, fresh and very tasty. The cod was delicious and so white! They had run out of jumbo battered sausage so substituted it with 4! regular battered sausage. Scampi was very tasty and all sauces and condiments were available even real Heinz salad Cream. Price was between £60-80 can’t remember but I do remember what a lovely meal we all had. The staff were 10/10 and the food was 10/10. Thank you.

Best takeaway fish and chips in the area

I had Haddock and chips with minted mushy peas, the latter of which was a first for me and the batter is so good. My partner had Cod and chips with a curry sauce which both of us thought was delicious. All in all fantastic food and we will definitely be back, 5 stars are so mean when you deserve 10.

You can order on the sunset wine bar terrace- really good fish and chips, kids size meals were plenty for us..

Have been here many times. Travel about 30 especially for their fish and chips but last time was so disappointing. Queued up for about half hour. Usually fish is really meaty but this time it was a really thin piece of fish with all batter. I emailed and was offered a refund but have heard nothing further. It wasn’t just the money but the disappointment. Won’t be keen to make a return visit.

Can't fault the food. Fish and chips - decent portions. Expensive prices but then it is the seaside and probably have to make their profit during the season. Take away price - £8.95 for a regular cod and £3.00 for a regular portion of chips. (They had no large cod or large haddock when I was there at 6pm ish. We usually share but had to buy two regular fish here) They take your money give you a receipt with a number on and ask you to wait outside. When your order is ready they below the number past the queuing customers and you go back in. Efficient but feels rude. Again the food was good, well cooked and fresh but they were not at all friendly.

We have been many times here over our years of visiting Hunstanton. This time we walked out before we even ordered. We went a few weeks ago as well, and the food is good, but the service is not. Not sure if it’s new management, as they staff don’t seem the same, but the service has suffered and this time round, where we walked out, it was dreadful. It’s a shame as they do good fish and chips. They need to sort out the service.

1st class fish and chips, good service and nice staff

Went in here as there were queues for the other central fish and chips restaurants and went in with no queue and was seated within 5 minutes. Ordered the basic cod and chips and mushy peas and can honestly say it was the best I have ever had and worth paying a little bit extra for. 100% recommend coming here if you want fish and chips in Hunstanton.

Great service and very quick/officiant. Food was delicious and so hot! Portions were massive for the price. Was absolutely perfect :)

without a doubt the best fish and chips in hunstanton! take out and dine in options are available, and whilst it’s definitely on the expensive side for fish and chips you get what you pay for! generous portions, regular menu and specials so plenty of choice and polite friendly staff. always a must when i visit sunny hunny!

Great fish & chips, it’s always a must when we come to Hunstanton. The place is very clean and the staff were great too, special mention to Benny for looking after us.

Staff were rude and obnoxious drinking and mucking around behind the counter chips were half cooked and black worst fish and chip shop we have been to

Best seaside fish & chips a must have when visiting Hunstanton

have to spend over 12 pound for a fish and chip ridiculously expensive

Really nice food and clean, however staff were a let down. So rude, unhelpful, immature and obnoxious. “What do you want” Lots of eyerolling and huffing.

Great takeaway, quality fish and chips

Gorgeous food and cooked to order as we wanted. Great service and space for the pushchair too. Would certainly come here again x

Best fish and chips this end of the country as far as I'm concerned. And everything else done well too. You cannot go wrong eating here.

Absolutely amazing fish and chips Regular fish was massive and no skin Batter was light and crispy Chips were gorgeous

We come to hunstanton yearly and this is one of our regular stops. The fish are huge and really tasty, chips lovely and plenty and the curry sauce is the best I have tasted. Yes it's busy, but that's because it's good fish and chips.

Decided to try Fishers as we were in town. We were part of a group of 6 adults and 2 small children. The queue was long but decided to stick with it. We wished we hadn't. The staff behind the counter clearly couldn't cope with the volume of customers. One of the young girls behind the counter clearly couldn't be bothered and seemed to enjoy telling the waiting customers her sexuality. All the young lad behind the counter kept saying was if anyone was waiting, to leave the premises and wait outside. The other young person behind the counter kept being told to stop taking orders as they were piling up. Eventually, one of our party got served and was overcharged for a small bottle of Dr Pepper. There was another long wait for the next person in our group to be served over 20 mins only to have to wait a further 20 mins to receive their order. The staff were running around like headless chickens clearly not having a clue. The last couple in our group also had to wait for their order to be taken, and, like, all of their customers were given an order ticket with their number on it. So it only goes to show what an inept bunch of staff are behind the counter as another person several numbers on were given our parties order. When they asked where their order for scampi was, they were told they would have to wait for it to be cooked. Finally, after nearly an hour and 20 minutes, we got our food, which included a tub of baked beans at £2.50 but as they ran out of forks, it was a job to try and eat them. When asked about some replacement forks, the young girl just said they hadn't got any. Also the steak and ale pie at £4.50 was luke warm at best but the member of our group couldn't face another long queue to tell the staff. Fishers may be in the top 10 of chip shops in the UK, but they are definitely bottom in terms of serving customer swifty and correctly. The very long wait, a pot of what amounted to 3 spoons of baked beans, our order being given away to another customer made this visit an over priced and very disappointing experience.

The fish was dry and overcooked. The same for the chips. Despite the fact you are supposed to pay and wait for them to cook. The service was relatively fast, probably because the fish and ships were already cooked, God k knows since when. Very expensive. I had much better for 2/3 of the price. The woman taking the order was ok, but the serving woman was quite hostile and unfriendly. God knows why this place has a good reputation and for that we walked a mile to get them. Pretty not worth it experience. Definitely never again.

Fantastic place food is amazing always freshly cooked and hot the staff are always so friendly and ready to help and the atmosphere is brilliant to

Absolutely appalling service, waited an eternity for our order, and when it finally arrived, it was clear why it took so long - the staff are completely clueless. The queue was chaos, and the staff behind the counter looked like they’d rather be anywhere else. People coming in after us were served exactly the same thing we were waiting for and when we questioned this we were met with 'yeah we're just waiting for it to cook'. Also, they ran out of forks, what sort of chip shop runs out of forks! Beware if it's a hot day - they can't cope!!

Have visited here before and always found them to be fair price and good fish and chips, this time not at all disappointed, had our Grandchildren with us so it was 2 children's meals, a chicken and a fish, and 2 age related portions of fish and chips for us. Really good fish, staff all friendly and cheerful. Quick service, in all, good value and we'll be back again when next in Hunstanton.

Worst fish ever staff are a joke young kids fish was dry really bad

Very expensive . Very greasey. Very abrup people!

Long queues but well worth the wait. Not the cheapest but it is peak season and the sausage was huge!!

A wide selection of ice cream and coffee

Never disappointed when eating here as the food is always good and piping hot , .the portions aren’t small as some suggest and no more expensive than other places on the Norfolk coast .

Extremely good fish and chips! Great service; friendly and natural, with a really personal touch. The decor is fresh, modern (but with throwbacks to the heritage of Hunstanton) and pleasant, with energising music (think 90s dance music) at the right volume to be present but not disruptive. Very inclusive feel, with a range of customers across all demographics being made to feel welcome.

That's pure no. Not really polite staff. They give our food somebody else and that nasty soggy bag off disappointment for 40£ was just something. Next to it is hotel whete they cook amazing food, how anyone even go there. Oily fish, soggy chips, the only positive is fresh fish, but preparing fish like this killed her twice. How they saying they are in top 10....they not. Just go eat next door. Even seagulls dont beg this ...

Yup a solid choice for fish and chips. I rarely eat fish and chips as not a fan of heavy oily battered fish, but the oil used was 'clean like / tasteless' making the ingredients of the fish stand out. Chips also good! I suggest ordering online for takeaway to avoid the queues.

Thought I'd update after yesterday's visit. I have removed a star due to one particular girl taking orders who has no manners what so ever. Please and thank you are obviously not in her vocabulary.. just rude! Come on Fishers, sort your staff out! Food was lovely Amazing fish and chips, lovely curry sauce can't fault the food but I don't think non paying family members should take priority over paying customers. We had to wait even longer because the girl gave one piece of our cooked fish to her Grandad who rocked up long after we ordered!

Very good, but not the cheapest

Lovely meals,haddock, plaice was huge,fish bites brilliant, abit pricey main meals £16 each, large coke was a regular anyware else and at nearly £4 should be abit larger.having said that we will be back.

Really overpriced food and not very good quality for the price. Tiny portions is well. Definitely not in the top ten fish and chip shops in England like they claim.

One of the best if not the best fish and chips. Be warned, the large cod isn't large, it's huge 😁.

We tried to dine here but as they cannot supply an allergy listing of their food we decided not to risk it. We were recommended a baked potato…as they suffer from cross contamination in the kitchen. Somehow baked potatoes dont suffer this fate. The board outside suggests a top 10 fish and chip shop…with no allergy awareness at the server , and no allergy menu inside , the bottom 10 is a better placing. Other less well known Fish and chip shops locally can identify all allergens in their food. I cannot return here unless a major change in food awareness is undertaken by the management!!
