not impressed with the presentation firstly, then when i got it home (which was 2 minutes down the road) the chips were like leftovers and the fish was below average. Won't be visiting again.

Today we ordered two sausages, a cod, two large chips and a fishcake. Upon arriving home we have found one of the sausages missing and one of the fishcakes which is approaching black on one side. We've been disappointed with the fish shop on a couple of occasions in the last few months and it's happened again. I could understand if the shop was packed but there was only one person in front when queuing.

Fairly frequent visitor to this place in the past but not for a couple of months. Prices have gone up astronomically. Accept cost of everything has gone up a lot recently but by the time you add everything up, you are approaching restaurant prices now. Portion sizes are getting smaller so you also have 'srinkflation in there as well. There used to be one price for each fish type , now there are two 'standard' and 'large'. Large used to be the norm but is now almost £10 for a piece of cod. Add in chips and say mushy peas and you are looking at ~ £13.50 - so like I said, restaurant prices. And the kicker? 30p for a flimsy paper carrier bag to take it in. I've checked and there is no obligation to charge as these are not single use plastic and in any case the usual charge is 10p. My local Indian Takaeaway (Koh-I-Noor Highly recommended) delivers anything more than a couple of items for free in a box the sort you would buy a wedding cake. Need to find a new Chippy!

We ordered a fish supper for a family of five, haddock, chips, mushy peas with one side order of chicken nuggets. The food was freshly cooked while we waited, it was all fantastic quality and tasted really delicious. We have used this chip shop for over 20 years and it has been consistently good, we recommend highly.

We have been a frequent customer of the Golden Fry for many years. Usually the portion sizes are generous (two people could share a cod portion if not too hungry), but last night's visit was very disappointing. Ordered the usual Cod and Chips for myself and different things for other family members. What was in the bag when I got home looked more like a sardine than a piece of cod. I wasn't feeling well so not very hungry but needed something else afterwards. Not really on at £5 for just the fish. Might have to try some of the other local chippies as recommended on NextDoor at this rate.

Don't know if this place has changed hands recently or whether they've just changed supplier, but the quality of the fish from here seems to have gone through the roof ! Having had a poor experience (repeatedly) in the past (under-cooked / over-cooked fish and soggy tepid chips), we had taken to only buying from here if I REALLY couldn't be bothered to go the extra few miles to Finchampstead, but the last TWO occasions I have to say, the quality has been OUTSTANDING.Consequently I shall NOT now be bothering with anywhere else.

I've lived in Crowthorne for 5 years now and have been to this chippy on a number of occasions. During that time I've noticed an massive inconsistency with the quality of food . When the owner is on duty behind the fryer I would honestly say this is probably one of the best local Chip shops I've ever been to...Outstanding! However the complete opposite is the case when he is not on duty or away on holiday. Everything in there is greasy and tasteless ...disgusting in fact. I'm assuming it's his son who takes control when he's not around as they look alike but the difference between the two is astonishing. As a business owner myself I felt compelled to write this review as it's actually quite infuriating watching the owners son ruin his Dads business for him . It's such a shame and I guarantee anyone buying Fish and Chips from this place for the first time while the son is on duty will not be coming back . So ...just to warn anyone reading this..the owner is the older (obviously) taller man of the two. If you pop into the Golden Fry anytime soon and see a short fat younger guy behind the fryer you're better off with a microwave meal in the local Co-Op !

I really want to support a Crowthorne business but just had the worst cod & chips from here. Batter on fish much too soggy so when I tried to get it out of the bag the whole thing just fell to pieces all over the table and floor, chips full of oil and really a big disappointment.The oil in the fryer needs to be much hotter and more time spent cooking correctly rather than just putting food out because the shop is busy.

I've reviewed the Golden Fry before, but have to say that recent visits have been poor. Prices have increased on everything by about 15% recently (which I guess happens - Brexit and all that) but the quality of the food and service has deteriorated. Fish is frequently soggy rather than crisp and chip portions are getting smaller (despite increased prcies). Final straw was last Friday - everyone in the queue was asked the same question: "Do you want a carrier bag" . No love, I want to try and balance half a dozen bags of assorted fish, chips, pies etc on my head on the way back to the car. So I say yes, and got about 20yards up the road before BOTH handles of the paper carrier broke, spilling the contents all over the pavement. OK, so each item was individually wrapped in paper, but it was cold and wet out, so they got dumped in icy puddles. Not quite what you want. Either make the handles stronger or supply plastic (this is food supply and a small business so shouldn't require a cost for plastic bag tax - probably be cheaper anyway). Sadly this is the nearest F&C to us but I might have to bite the bullet and go to the ones recomended on here in Sandhurst.

Popped in here for the 2nd time last Thursday and wasn't impressed.. Again! The staff don't look like they want to be there, let a loan serve you. The guy frying the fish looked miserable and the fish tasted of nothing.. The chips were dry and tasted like they had been in the warmer for a couple of hours. I won't be going back. I think these guys need another chippy to open in Crowthorne to wake um up a bit. (respectfully)

I don't normally review Fish & Chip shops but having seen some of the other reviews of the Golden Fry in Crowthorne, I felt the need to redress the balance at some of the criticism. I have no idea what the reviewer who commented that he received the smallest portion of fish he'd ever seen was expecting,but my experience over many years is that the fish portions are very generous, frequently dropping over the edges of a large plate. Golden Fry only do one size of fish (unlike others who claim to give you 2 or three size options which turn out to be indistinguishable despite significant difference in price) and their price is very good. Similarly the 'regular' chips is enough for two adults to adequately share with fish and my son reckons that the large portion of chips is an entire meal on its own!. My only criticism would be of the pies which are quite small (but much cheaper than the fish). I recently had to use 'Fish&Chicken' in the Harmans Water shops late on a Sunday because Golden Fry had already closed and this was much more expensive and poorer quality. I will definitely stick to Golden Fry.

This place is a real lucky dip - when it's quiet & your order's cooked fresh then chances are the chips have been in the warmer for hours & are dreadful. If they're busy then your fish'll have been cooked in advance & be greasy & soggy, but the chips'll be crispy & fresh. In probably 20 visits - I've only had good fish AND good chips ONCE! But do I keep going back - yes, but only 'cos it's the only chippy in the town. I really hope the owners read this - 'cos Crowthorne deserves better.

Well located and always popular, you can park in Lidl opposite and nip in. The service is quick and the shop clean.

I actually went next door for fish and chips but they are "cash only" so I ended up ordering from J3. Chatting to the guy there, the place went under new ownership in November 2023, so very recently! I ordered crispy chilli chicken and egg fried rice. Although the dish had red chillies in it, it was not hot (in spice) at all, however it was quite a pleasant dish and a good portion size. Although it's hard to judge fairly on just one dish, I was only eating for me so there you go! I was not blown away by the meal but, conversely I ate all of it and it seemed better than the J3 (or even Forest Chinese before that) of old, which was inconsistent at best. My favourite Chinese is still easily Dragon House in Birch Hill, but the J3 seems better under new management.

My husband and I went to Daruchini for an early meal, there was only one other couple in the restaurant, we ordered and our popadoms arrived which we enjoyed with all the pickles. After an hour I asked the man who appeared to be in charge where our meal was , he went to investigate and two warm plates were put on our table, the food arrived about five minutes later but the plates had got cold by then. The food was very nice and we both enjoyed our meals , asked for the bill which was put on the table and then the waiter said to pay at the bar which we did , the same man processed our credit card and never said a word about our experience, would have expected him to ask if we enjoyed our meal and to say sorry for the wait.
