Absolutely disappointing to say the least I had high expectations as the place looks amazing and the staff was friendly. However, when I received my food, the fish was not great the batter was tasteless and soggy. The only good thing I can say is the potatoes were fresh and the chips were lovely. We asked for salt and vinegar and didn’t get any, which is a huge vibe killer. 😢 I will be returning to review again and hopefully it will be better but as of now I can’t recommend it to anyone. When it comes to fish and chips, the little things make a big difference.

This is some good advice for the new owners,You seriously need to contact the old owners and find out exactly how they used to cook the food, and replicate exactly. This chippy had for years the best reputation for good food, now it has a bad reputation. The food and service is bad. I used to travel miles to buy from here not anymore.

Chips hard and cold even though they were supposed to be fresh cooked. Prices ridiculous - chips all one price no small portions. Cash preferred not keen on card payments as "it was supporting banks" really disappointed also very little food choices. No chicken or cods roe

What a shame, previous owners gone, and with them the pride of delivering a great British classic. Batter was greasy and well under cooked, as where the chips. I noticed that the plaice, haddock and cod were all identically priced too🤔. Shame really, good luck to the new owners.

I recently had a disappointing experience at The Golden Fry. Despite craving just a bag of chips, I was informed they only serve customers paying cash unless the purchase exceeds £5. Fine, I thought, and placed an order totaling £5.60, paid with my card. Then, realizing I forgot to order a drink, I tried to add one, only to be told there's a minimum £5 spend. Inconsistent policies and inconvenience made this visit less than golden.

I thought i would give this chippy another chance as previously i tried the food after the old owners left and the food wasnt great,infact it was terrible.Having tried the food again i have to say it was all absolutely disgusting..The chips are pale and undercooked,the fish was not edible. Had to throw all the food in the bin.I don't no how these people think they can serve food looking like it does. I don't now how this establishment has over 4 stars? Its such as a shame as the old owners knew how to cook food and it was always delicious and had a good reputation. I can definitely say I will never eat at this place again!!!

I revisited the Golden Fry Fish and Chip Shop in Newport Pagnell, hoping for an improved experience, but sadly, it was another disappointing visit. The chips were undercooked, just like my previous visit, and the quality of the food left much to be desired. What's even more frustrating is the continuously rising prices, with £2.90 for chips and £2.10 for a jumbo sausage feeling quite excessive. Additionally, the imposition of a £5 minimum card fee and the excessive push for cash payments through signage raised concerns. It seems like an attempt to avoid taxes, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. In summary, I had to give it a 2-star rating once again due to the poor food quality, high prices, and the unappealing payment policies. I hope they can address these issues and improve the overall dining experience. See original review below Rating: ★★☆☆☆ I recently visited the Goldenfry fish and chip shop, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. While I appreciate the effort put into their dishes, there were several issues that prevented me from enjoying my meal to the fullest. First and foremost, the most significant letdown was the consistently undercooked chips. It's disappointing to bite into a chip only to find that it lacks that desired crunch and texture. It seems that proper frying techniques are not being consistently employed, resulting in a lackluster chip experience. Improving the cooking time and temperature would greatly enhance the overall quality of the dish. Additionally, the batter on the fish lacked the desired crispiness that is characteristic of a well-prepared fish and chips. The batter seemed to be soggy and failed to deliver the satisfying crunch that makes this dish enjoyable. A crisper batter would significantly elevate the taste and overall experience. Another aspect that bothered me was the increasing prices. It's understandable that businesses need to adjust their prices over time, but the frequent price hikes at Goldenfry were rather disheartening. It feels like I'm paying more for a subpar experience, which is not something any customer wants to feel. It would be beneficial for the establishment to reassess their pricing strategy to maintain a fair balance between quality and cost. Lastly, it was inconvenient that Goldenfry doesn't accept card payments for amounts under £5. In this day and age, many people rely on electronic payments for their convenience and security. Limiting card payments to a certain threshold can be an inconvenience, especially when customers may not have enough cash on hand. It would be wise for the establishment to consider expanding their payment options to accommodate a wider range of customers. Overall, my visit to Goldenfry left me dissatisfied. The consistent issue of undercooked chips, lackluster batter, increasing prices, and limited payment options for smaller amounts were all significant drawbacks. While I appreciate their efforts, these issues hindered my enjoyment of the meal. I hope the management takes these concerns into consideration and works towards improving the overall quality and customer experience. Based on other reviews this place is having friends boost the scores clearly and should be not allowed as it is no where near 4-5 star.

Just had my best fish & chips in years. It's not often I go into town, but I did tonight, and I remembered how good they were from before, so I called in again. If possible, it was better. The fish was huge, but not heavy to eat, the chips were done just perfect. It's going to be a weekly trip in to town from now on. 5 *****

I visited Golden Fry last week and I won't be going back again. The food was absolutely terrible. I ordered fish, chips and mushy peas for my wife, and I had 2 battered sausages & a curry sauce. The chips were anaemic, the mushy peas tasted like water and the battered sausages were lukewarm with soft batter. As for the fish, it was off and smelt terrible. My wife couldn't even bear try it, so we threw it away. A complete waste of £20 and hugely disappointing.

1st time since has changed ownership. Freshly cooked Haddock & Cod - Fish a decent portion size. But batter was an oily soggy sticky mess which even the greaseproof paper can't handle. Either your oil temperature needs to be higher or you need to change your batter recipe. Chips need longer cooking or oil temperature needs to be higher as above. Really disappointed 😞

It seems changing your opening times at the drop of a hat is a good way to keep customers happy. NOT! To be honest I’m not shocked as he seems to open and close whenever he likes. He’s not the happiest of shop owners pretty miserable most times you go in. Also his chips are sometimes hard and undercooked and the sloppy batter on the fish is something to avoid.

I like this chip shop, but never know what quality of chips I'm going to get. Visited two weeks ago and the chips were excellent, Just like chips should be. Not too much to ask when you pay £1.80 a portion. Visited again today, and the chips were nowhere near as good as two weeks ago. They were like frozen chips from the supermarket that had just been heated up. Most chip shops are doing that now. I thought Golden Fry was different, but it seems not.

I visited this chippy earlier this evening with my girlfriend. We ordered a small portion of chips and two battered sausages. The staff member proceeded to place the items in a tray when we noticed there was a hair lying over our food. We raised the issue to the staff member, he then reluctantly proceeded to use the tongs he had just served our food with and picked up the hair without apology or offering a new portion and seemed content to serve this to us. We asked for another portion and the response was unprofessional with the owner not directly apologising simply asking the employee what the problem was in which his response was “I don’t know” clearly showing he couldn't care less! The customer service experienced was atrocious and the worst part was the employee placed the containment food which we refused to take back into service to be received by other customers. How they have passed a food hygiene rating is beyond me, with none of the employees wearing hair nets! We will not be returning and we are severely disappointed in our local chippy.
