Golden Fish Bar in Medway

Used this place many times and always normally very good fish n chips. Naturally more expensive now but overall always been a pleasant place.

Must try Golden Fish Bar. Excellent freshly cooked to order fish and chips, busy. Well worth the wait. Staff are very friendly.

The best fish and chip shop in Medway, the Golden Fish Bar has been our go to for years!

Eight pounds for a piece of cod that wasn’t great. The large chips were barely enough for two. The pot of curry sauce was tiny. We also ordered a portion of small chips for my uncle and instead they have us a fish cake. The fish cake was flat as a pancake and when I cut it open it was grey inside. The shop was not busy at all in-fact we were only the second order of the night.

Always very fresh and tasty fish & chips. Friendly staff and good prices.

Fantastic food and friendly service 👌 😋

My local Fish Bar,can't fault them, always happy,good service , awesome fish and chips etc,well done

Wonderful fish chips and crackling no complaints

Nice workers, decent prices and tasty chips!

Great fish bar, been using it for 40yr. Fish bites are lovely.

Lovely new owners polite and helpful. Fish was cooked to perfection, nice crispy batter with tasty sausages all went lovely with the portion of chips.

This is a take away and the best one in strood . Fish top class same as the chips and they do crackling plus a really lovely girl serving makes you feel welcome

Great chip shop. Great food and service and a very popular takeaway.

Food is overpriced and average at best. Even when it’s cooked fresh the batter on the cod is still somehow immediately soggy.

Uses real cod, great portion size, excellent price.

Always amazing food, and amazing people! Although its only cash! No card payment! Apart from that, everything is perfect!

The biggest (longest) fish i have had in years.good service with speed.

Traditional fish and chip shop, great value for money & very tasty.

Hours claim to be open 24 hours. Just wasted an 18 mile round trip to find the place was closed. Update your opening hours.

The food was lovely. Would I go back again 100% .

Fri-yay! This is our local "go to" fish and chip shop. We prefer to order when we visit but they will take orders over the phone. Just remember it's strictly cash payment only! Prices and portions seem reasonable and good value. I usually I have cod and chips, the cod is always cooked while I wait, very good quality, good in size, in my opinion. The batter is tasty and not to thick either. The chips are mostly just right, usually drained well, not too crispy but soft. Be quick to get them home and open, as they can get soggy with the heat when freshly cooked! The place could do with a refresh but Chinese staff are always friendly and quick to serve....4/5

Lovely chippy in Wainscott, good price. They don't take cards, so cash only. It's always very polite and good, well cooked fish

Worst place ever now new owners they don't no how to cook three man drop chips then put them into the fryer and thought I still wanted the food omg couldn't believe it I demand for my money back I said money back or I call the police they did give my money back after I told them straight they have no allergy forms and won't even tell you what they cook with they do not know how to cook do not go there

A bit pricey but isn't every chip shop nowadays

Always perfect. They batter my veggie spring rolls. Makes them taste great.

Always nice Fish and Chips, but tonight had placed an order to pick up at 5,45, I was a couple of mins early, but walked out with order at 6,05

Staff always friendly. Does great Cod pieces and chips always a good portion very good value for money.

Great food, fast timing and friendly service. I will be coming back.

Been using this place for over 20 years but the last few times the cod batter has been soggy and the portion size on the chips has shrunk despite it now costing nearly £9!! Used to be loads of chips, but now you have to ration them as you get through the fish to make sure you don't run out. Stop being stingy on the chips it must cost pence to put an extra scoop in. You get bigger portions elsewhere for about £7.

We all have a local chippy that is “the best” Well. If your local chippy isn’t the Golden Fish Bar then I am sorry, you are wrong. This is the best chippy. Anywhere.

All well cooked, the cod was beautiful and a generous portion

Fair price for good quality and quantity food traditional fish n chips friendly service

Friendly, efficient, cracking piece of haddock

really nice crispy batter and lovely white cod portions are a good size

Very nice and chips were proper

Nice food fished cooked to order great service

Expensive but the Chinese staff are polite and friendly food isn't too bad

The food was lovely! We rang in advance to see if there had been any changes to ordering since we last went before the pandemic. They were lovely and polite and took our order over the phone. The food was ready in half hour, everything was as ordered, nothing was missing. The food was hot and perfect and, as usual the portions were very generous!

Best fish and chips in a area!! Also friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

If I could give a zero I would. I placed an order by phone and asked a 1/4 pounder the young girl asked me if that was a burger inside of a burger!? She said we only do a cheese burger or a 1/2 pounder which had 2 burgers in a bun. So I asked for a cheese burger with onions and burger sauce in. When I arrive the girl reads the order back to me and gets to cheese burger a pickled onion and a pot of burger sauce. By now I’m not filled with confidence so after correcting the order I check it when I get back to the car to realise there were no sausages in the order. Admittedly this was my mistake as they were hiding in with a portion of chips, although I did order these separately as there was a portion of chips for a family vegetarian. So we get home and start to dish up to find the cod literally dripping grease on the kitchen floor through the paper, when I open the paper we find the cod looking like it’s had 10 rounds with mike Tyson. I know I asked for battered cod but to me this looked like it had literally been battered with a baseball bat where the grease had turned it into mush. I’m really not one for complaining at all and find it highly embarrassing but after one of my family members found bone after bone in her haddock we thought this isn’t good enough and called them to say we would be returning the order minus a sausage and chips. When I arrived back at the shop and showed them the order the young girl behind the counter said the cod and haddock had been half eaten, at this point I start to tell them this is how it was when we opened it and then I had three young girls behind the counter getting very defensive and starting an argument in front of a shop full of people. I just said I wanted my money back and then said they would only give half my money back as the food was half eaten. Then the three young girls tell me to go somewhere else as I said we don’t get this service at McCoy’s in Hoo. To save the embarrassment I settled with a £10 refund and walked out very annoyed. As stated I’m not one to complain and don’t like confrontation but this was bad quality food to the extent where it was inedible and terrible service where you feel you are being ganged up on by three teenage girls. This chip shop used to be one of the best in Medway but unfortunately the quality and service has worsened over the years and will not be visiting ever again due to bad quality food and argumentative teenagers. If you need a good chip shop there are McCoys chip shops 5 minutes drive in each direction which we use on a regular basis. Only reason we didn’t on this occasion was because Hoo McCoys was not open and thought we would try the golden chippy. NEVER AGAIN....

Best chippy in Medway. All fish cooked to order - so no 2 day old reheated food here! They are very Covid friendly here. Fast service and delicious food!

Very tasty and fresh.... Totally recommended

Lovely fish and chips cooked fresh! Friendly service!

Excellent food and lovely staff

wish they could do card payments.

Terrible cod and chips. So much oil and hard fish in the middle. Never had hard fish and cannot imagine how it was achieved. Awful.

Excellent fish 🐟 and chips, will recommend to anyone who like to eat fish 🐟 and chips

Had a nice meal, no complaints.

The best fish and chips in Medway

Good food, friendly staff. I order from them quite often.

Best chip shop around in my opinion never had a bad meal with them. Food delicious and prices are really reasonable x

Always good portions and top quality.

Fantastic service, all cooked just right, and tasty. Mmmmmmm

Being from north i found it a bit steep for fish and chips. But impressed it was a good chunk of fish, more of a door wedge thickness. I'd go back again.

Great little chip shop. Never a bad experience!

Good portions nice cod and chips freshly cooked

Pies were cold and expensive seems to lacknon cleanliness also

Great fish and chips and so tasty

Nice fish and chips and other stuff to choose from

Golden Fish Bar, staff are welcoming and friendly, fish and chips are excellent. Best food ever. Worth a visit.

Chjps very greasy. Fish lovely.

I have never in 30 odd years had such a bad cod and chips. The bag was literally full of oil which dripped all over the hallway floor as soon as we got in. Disgusting dinner and would never go back!!!

Best chip shop in medway. Absolutely lovely food

Bloody good fish and chips, my photo I took of my fish cakes and uploaded to maps for people to see the quality of the food had nearly 100k views! Never had a bad experience here always welcoming and professional. Deffo give this hidden gem a try 👌🏻👍🏻

If you are not a telephone customer then don't even bother, the wait will be endless.

Proper fish n chips and big portions, Bit pricey but individually cooked for each customer. . If you dont want to wait for your fish to be cooked, then phone ahead. My family eat from here once a week, fone the order in, wait 10 minutes and collect. They have never forgotten my salt and vinegar, so i wont knock off four stars from my rating...lol.

Disappointing visit, prices have increased and portions have got smaller!! £2.10 for a regular chips that is barely enough to share between 2 kids!

Food from this shop is really nice and pleasant to go into staff very helpful better than the rest in the area ,really nice food

Just had the most delicious piece of freshly cooked chicken and perfectly cooked chips. Absolutely amazing, thanks all

Very small but fish cooked to order and always top quality chios

One of the finest chippies around

Excellent fish and chips, all cooked fresh to order.

Food is amazing. Have been going for years. It's a definite try. The food is not greasy overall. Amazing taste!

Great food, it’s always a pleasure to eat. Staff helpful and polite

Best traditional fish and chips in Medway. Always fresh, always tasty, never refried, never cold! Great service too.

Foods Good, takes a while to get it but worth the wait

Great service, quick and easy. Only eaten from here a few times, but I can honestly say it's some of the nicest fish and chips we've had. Tasty and not overly greasy. Perfect.

Excellent best fish and chip shop in the area all fish cooked fresh while you wait

Cannot recommend our little local gem highly enough. Portions generous without being grotesque. Brilliant.

curry sauce was disgusting, mushy peas watery

The best takeaway fish and chip shop around. My number one goto for fish and chips. Don't be too shocked about the queue that is often out of the door, they are quite quick and the fish is cooked to order. If you've love fish and chips you won't be disappointed.

fish one size only . yes and that is called small .veggie spring rolls very small and gherkins old spongy and tiny. so if you are on a massive diet eat here. but if you get hungary head just up the road mc coys frindsbury hill. .

Great fish and chips. Cooked fresh to order

Who ever worked tonight wasn't on top form. As they failed on me too and forgot my 4 sausages. They always seem to forget something be it a curry sauce or a gherkin or my drink 4th time now. I have never got an apology.

The place has taken a turn for the worse lately. I phoned ahead and was asked if I wanted salt and vinegar on it. I said yes but when I got home and opened the bag the staff had failed to put any on. At least the food order was not missing anything.

Alway go to the Golden Fish Bar for my fish & chips. They do my cod skinless which is great as I don’t like skin.

It's alright for a local fish and chip shop

I work here and it's the best job I've had, hence why I haven't left. The other staff make me feel like family and the regulars put a smile on my face. The food is always great and cooked fresh. We try and do our best to resolve complaints (we like to know, that way we can improve our service). We can cook the food to the customers preference, if that'll be gluten free fish or double fried chips. We constantly hear we are the best Fish & Chip shop around!

This place has gone downhill massively. They rush the chips even when there is no queue so always end up undercooked. Will be using the chip shop on Frindsby Hill from now.

I really don’t know what all the fuss is about with this chippy, it’s supposed to be so top class and unbeatable but in reality it’s just a mediocre chippy at best, ive certainly had better but we drove 8 miles to try out this one and expected much but was really disappointed. It’s certainly not worth making an effort to get here as any other chip shop around is just as good as these. Maybe it’s new owners or maybe they just want your money and couldn’t care less about the quality. What the hell is going on with chip shops , why can’t they sell a decent piece of cod and nice chips instead of stuff they probably get at cash and carry in bulk.

This is my local Fish and Chip shop and it has been the best in the area for many years. All of the fish is cooked fresh to order and the q out of the door every Friday night just proves how good it is. Parking can be a bit tricky at times and it can pay to phone your order through before hand. They do not take credit cards so make sure that you have enough cash.

Best chip shop around !! Friendly staff
