Golden Plaice in Hertsmere

Had a takeaway order of haddock goujons and gefilte fish balls for a family of six. There was enough for two meals. All have gone with no waste. Excellent.

Had an event at our bowls club and the team delivered 50 portions of scampi, sausage or pie and chips. It was on time, hot and the best scampi and chips I have had in a while. Can't recommend highly enough. Will defo use again

The inconsistency here is just annoying. At times the fish and chips is outstanding. At other times, you get oily congealed batter and soggy scraggy chips which are an insult. It appears to be be 1 staff member in particular who can’t cook or who just doesn’t care. How you can serve oil drenched food is beyond me. He needs to go! Shame to give a bad review, if you’re lucky enough to get the owner or other staff you’ll get a very good meal if not you’ll get a bad meal.

A really delicious fish & chips with bread, salad and a cuppa tea or coffee all for £9.50 (if you’re an OAP) Huge portions! Freshly cooked. Lovely waitress.. Very impressed! If I lived nearer I’d definitely be a regular!

Was shocked at the price of fish compared with my local fish and chip shop. Had a large cod as it was already prepared and paid £12.90 take away. The fish was wafer thin and tasteless , covered in a dark brown batter that dropped oil! The chips were just bland. Never again. Possibly the worst fish and chips meal that I've ever had.

We went here for a fish and chips lunch and as we are both in our 60s we ordered the OAP special. I have to say that we each had a large plate of cod and chips, bread and butter and a cup of tea which was eaten in the shop’s restaurant for just £9.50 each. The meal was really good quality and fantastic value for money. I can’t buy just cod and chips without the bread and tea even to take away anywhere else for that price. I would definitely recommend this.

as ever,brilliant value, good service, great food, well cooked. great portions. a true gem, dare I even suggest you are undercharging. keep up the great work

Excellent service Staff very efficient and friendly Restaurant very, very clean and tidy. Toilet area very clean. OOH the food was excellent, every thing was freshly prepared, branded condiments are used in this restaurant. Highly recommended Will take friends and family again and again. 100 out of 10

Such a disappointing meal which took forever to prepare. Not only did the counter staff seem to overlook our order (which is frustrating when you can literally see the food ready!), the salveloys were cold, the batter was crispy, but fish wasn't hot. Chips again, could have been warmer. Used to be a good spot but we'll not visit again.

First time since takeover.. fish and chips were lovely. Portion size was very good. The staff were the people who always work there,and are lovely.really relieved the standards were as good.

First time going to this shop since takeover,ordered some chips and portion was half the size. Shan’t be going back unless portion size increases

Got a take away on 6 April it was disgusting the chips were rock hard and tasted like a reheat fish not bad this is the second visit that has not been nice

they do an over 6os lunch £ 8,99 fish chips bread, salad, tea this is unbeatable. friendly service, nothing is too much trouble good size portions. a genuine bargain.

The best fish and chips in the town. Weekly order from there, always fresh and tasty food. My kids and husband love this place too.

We love coming here. Best scampi and chips ever. Can't beat the tasty battered sausage either. Lovely staff fantastic chef. Good value for money.

Over the years, I have had fish and chips from all around the country... but this is the best I've tasted.

Sitting here as I type this...starving heading to maccies to find something edible. First offering was inedible, jelly like texture and burnt batter, chips not worth a mention. Second time round was fish that was seeping water (frozen??) and after complaining was shouted at over the counter that I had not requested my fish well done and would take further few mins to cook properly. I was under the impression this was not a steak?! My friend had finished their meal in this time. There was no apology. Such a shame I will never be back again after overall service like that! I came here over a month ago and it was amazing!

OMG !!!!! What has happened to our favourite fish and chip shop ? Last couple of times on a Friday night the fish is very dry, batter very oily, chips have lost their high standard, come on George sort it out, all this and so expensive.

Unfortunately the staff seem To ignore the customers in favour of preparing large orders for parties. The queue is diabolical and they don’t seem to care. Maybe they need to go back to ground roots. Recommendations for a new chippy please

Sent my son to get a Friday night meal here but he came back with missing food even though the lady read out his order. So I went down with him to check whether he was charged for the missing items, and although we weren't charged, they fail to apologies and even tried to avoid serving us. All 3 ladies barely smiled. Pretty disappointed overall.

Excellent fish & chips, friendly efficient staff. An enjoyable meal and we will be visiting again very soon

As a company the staff in the office often go to the Here to get lunch . Normally the food is exceptionally good and so the service today however we were very disappointed to get back to the office to find the meal not complete. We order two pieces of cod 3 large chips and a sausage in batter When we got back to the office to give everyone their lunch the sausage in batter was missing, so I phone the restaurant and explained that they hadn’t put in a sausage in batter, only to be told it’s okay you’ve not been charged for it. How is this okay someone has now gone without their lunch because the lady serving although she definitely ordered it because we heard her read out the order to the chef forgot to put it in. your incompetence has left someone without a meal and they seem to think this is acceptable because we was not charge but I have to say it is not acceptable under any circumstances. Extremely disappointed with the service and their attitude

I've been looking for a good fish and chip shop for ages. I'm pleased to say I found one! The food was beautifully hot and cooked to order, so the fish nor the chips were sat around for ages and the oil tasted clean (a...

Simply the best Fish and Chips takeaway George and his team are friendly, and fry the best fish for miles around. Our Scottish visitors classed it as the best ever, and Glasgow has a lot of Chippies

You won’t find a better chippie in this corner of Hertfordshire. Good honest food served with a smile in a clean and friendly setting.

So pop in on Monday and had a small cod and chips. Cod was cooked well inside and would have been 5 stars apart from the outside too much dark brown like over cooked but still the batter was good as why kept the stars...

Visiting family popped for fish and chips amazing. Simply the best. Portions great size and staff really friendly

Have been coming to GP for more years than I care to remember and they never fail. Fantastic quality food, the fish is fresh in an excellent batter. Great size portions! Highly recommend 😋👍🏼

if you are thinking of eating out there's only one place that golden place there fish is 5 star the haddock fried in batter or matzo meal but the fish is so fresh you eat all

Friendly staff, don’t doubt that but this “plaice” seems like they’re closed more than they’re open with days off and holidays. They are here to serve the community, not themselves. Now there’s competition down the road, I’m not bothered by this place. Get someone to...

Never had a bad take away meal at Golden Place, we have a 10 mile drive round trip, but worth it every time.

With my advancing years and supporting Aldershot, I found myself here yesterday against government guidelines, seeing my team lose 3-2 to Borehamwood. The highlight of the day was a requested skinless cod, chips and mushy peas for a sit down. Perfect, perfect , perfect. Great...

Amazing food and service in this family run fish and chip shop. Been going there for years! Fantastic Fish and Chips at reasonable prices - best in town!

This also place is amazing! Not only is the fish the best quality you will get in a restaurant never mind a chippie the batter is crispy and delicious the fish fresh and well cooked. The consistency is what makes this place stand out it...

Defiantly worth a try - we treat ourselves to this place every couple off weeks and have been for the last 15 years, excellent food and really clean a must when you visit the Wood

We have food from golden place every Saturday the food is so good and the service is amazing always piping hot and best batter not too thick chips perfect . The food is that good that my son treats himself during the week as well...

Go to fish and chip takeaway in Borehamwood. Fish always properly cooked and chips perfect. Because it’s so popular you don’t have those chips which have been sat for ages and go a bit brown - yuck right! Never eaten in (and now Covid even...

I'm glad I went! The fish was freshly cooked (so expect a short wait) and succulent. It was therefore hot, as were the chips. I even congratulated the proprietor. Praise, indeed.

Friendly service, fresh fish and amazing chips. Top tip phone your order in 1st and so you don’t need to queue to place your order.

The fish and chips here are great. Cooked to order , that’s why you have to queue and huge quantities especially ‘small’ chips.

Absolutely delicious!! Great value for money and really friendly staff. Wish this was my local chippy!!

The Fish and chips we got from here was lovely. We shared a large portion of chips between two as the portion size was very generous to say the least. Will defiantly eat here again if I am ever in the area again.

The haddock I had and the cod that husband enjoyed were perfect as were the plentiful chips. The service was quick and the price was very, very reasonable. The reason why I have not given it an excellent rating was because this restaurant didn't do grilled fish which was disappointing.Everything was clean, hot and tasty.

What a great little chip shop! Great food and always greeted with a friendly smile and hello. Borehamwood’s finest chippy!! Keep up the good work guys. Fantastic.

The great British meal . Been here several times . Broad menu, good service reasonably priced . My go to fish and chip shop in the week . Family run which is nice

Nice fresh fish in crispy batter and proper chips. They do a pensioners menu which includes salad, bread and butter and either cod or rock. This also comes with tea or coffee for £6.45. Amazing value. They have revamped the place it's spotless.

Since done up decor very nice food just as good as always friendly staff and helpful good selection of food

It’s family run, everything is cooked fresh and the people are friendly. It’s always busy for both eat-in and takeaway so get there early! Oh, and the portion sizes are generous.

Best fish and chips in Borehamwood. Always piping hot and extraordinarily large portions. Chips solid and tasty. My son and I wholeheartedly recommended it.

The size, quality and taste of the food is unmatched by and other chippy in the area. The staff are great, very helpful and hospitable. Although our visits are for takeaways, the restaurant has undergone a refurb in the last 6-mnths and provides a bright well presented atmosphere. Well done team & keep up the good work

Always a good , big que on Friday nights ! You can ring ahead but still have to wait a bit so not a que busting solution . It’s the best fish and chips in Borehamwood and for about a 5/6 mile radius. Well recommended.If Big Brother is on at the studios the orders that come in are epic! I would avoid on those nights! As you are in for a long wait. Overall really good chippy.

The chip shop is both eat in and takeaway and was quite busy on a Friday evening. There were several servers/fryers behind the counter but despite this the service was so slow and at times it looked as thought no-one was actually being served. Despite this the fish and chips were well done and the portion sizes were huge.

Always friendly, fish cooked to order, double cooked chips if you ask.. fish in batter or matzo meal.. great selection of fish and sides too..

Traditional fish and chips with mushy peas and gravy. Definitely the best fish and chips in Borehamwood

tonights offering from golden place was two bags of slimy mush that was supposed to be chips and the saveloys had the strangest texture I have ever had sadly it was a total waste of money

Great value, excellent portions and tasty takeaway very recommended as best fish & chip shop in town

This is one of my local fish shops and my preferred. The fish is cooked fresh as are the chips so it doesn’t spend aged being kept warm. The restaurant is within the shop and is always busy. If you can avoid visiting on a Friday , unless you ring and preorder your food as the wait is likely to be fairly long, But worth it. Staff are always friendly and the prices are fair. Pensioners are able to get a discounted meal in the restaurant as well.check which days and times.

Has been the best fish and chip place since I can remember. Always busy, always fresh, give it a go.

Best fish and chips in Hertfordshire you can get a take away or eat in. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Lovely fish and chips to takeaway but unfortunately a little to much oil on the fish very large portions of chips nicely cooked..

brought my mum fish and chips from here as she was moved to a care home nearby, by the time I got it back to her there was a small puddle of grease in the chip paper and I could literally wring the fish out... shocking! Needless to say, I never let her eat it

Sadly we have now moved mikes away from this delight, without question the finest fish and chips for mikes, crispy batter, never oily, piles of chips and lovely staff

One of the best fish n chip shops in the area. Comes out tops as it’s one of the few chippies you can sit in and have a meal.

My sister and I ate at the Golden Plaice lunchtime for £5-95

had a very pleasant take away my family had cod and chips and I had cod row and chips and we all enjoyed it

Went here on a recommendation so thought I would give it a try. To be honest at first I thought it’s just fish and chips. BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. First of all the staff are really friendly and make you feel welcomed. The fish is so fresh and the batter so tasty and crisp the chips and also fresh. Seriously give it a try this is no ordinary fish and chip shop. 5 stars

Great Place ! Good Service ! Nice Dinning Place !! Ordered a large COD or HARD can really fill up your stomach....good and nice fish & chips I ever had !!! Prices very reasonable @ 7.99 pounds

Amazing service, as always, fish is lovely, massive portions. Reasonably priced Have time to chat to you. Menu caters for everyone Even to half size portions for kids

Best fish and chips and the staff are so friendly. If you eat in you get a cup of tea, bread and butter and salad with your meal. It’s always a pleasure to eat in there.

Love my local Golden Plaice fish & chips. Price is very reasonable. More importantly, always served fresh. It’s a family-run business so there’s a personal touch from the owner, his retired father and his adult kids who help out when not at university. It’s always a friendly atmosphere attracting local residents.

Have visited this restaurant a little while ago but came back for another visit with our friends food as good as ever and staff very efficient

No doubt the best fish and chips in Borehamwood. Great fish, chips never greasy and a very good staff

Great fish and chips, excellent service. Would recommend this place to everyone. Love love love it, can’t fault it at all.

Best fish and chip shop in the area. Usually a queue, especially at weekends but worth the wait. You can phone your order in to avoid the queue.

Undoubtedly the best quality Fish and Chips for miles around. Never fails. The queue is always out the door...but worth the wait.

Working away from home we are always looking for decent places to eat, this fits the bill nicely - great fish and chips with efficient service at reasonable prices.

Definitely the best chip shop in the area for takeaways. Fresh homemade chips, can’t beat them, staff are friendly.

Been going to this place for a takeaway for many years.

Borehamwood is a busy English tv/film industry town. This restaurant has been around for over 50 years, originally owned by my grandfather. Probably a dozen tables accommodating 30 patrons +/-. Reasonably priced and serving delicious tasting meals. If you're not into fish, burgers are available.

Without a doubt the Golden Plaice is the best fish & chip shop in Borehamwood. Good tasting food friendly staff and reasonable prices

Popped in here for lunch. Basic fish & chip shop with lovely friendly staff. Big portions of cod & haddock & freshly cooked chips. There was also a special offer for pensioners meals on the menu. Great food at a great price.

If you like fish and chips then this is the place for you Well seasoned and generous portions at affordable prices ..served in a timely manner..

There is a saying; It aint no fun getting old. This restaurant disproves the saying. An OAP meal for under £6 was magnificent. The fish was both large and fresh, the chips good, the tea, she who must be obeyed only drinks builders tea, the tea that can dissolve the spoon, declared it excellent. Good service, good value, a great find, go back,..... you betcha

terrific value, all fish fresh, fish balls fantastic,well worth a visit, nothing is too much trouble for staff and comes up piping hot

For a fish and chip place they are the best in borehamwood. Always busy in the evening so be prepared to wait, but is worth it.

Been to Whitby, Southwold, Brighton,Walberswick....none of these places match the Golden Plaice in Borehamwood. Best Whitebait, quality cod, huge portions and a great cuppa. Ok decor a bit dated and chairs a bit hard , but the food and service more than make up for that.

Eat here quite frequently when in this area. Very reasonable price and fish is always fresh and well cooked. Recommend

Quick turn around, friendly staff. The place is always busy but so worth it. Lovely fish and chips. Highly recommended.

Okay went to the golden plaice just to review the chips.

the fish is so fresh and really good portions,it really is the best chip chop in borehamwood no grease,really look forward to a visit for alovely fish and chip treat

Always good food and friendly service. Best fish and chips in Borehamwood by far. If going at a busy time be prepared to queue but food is worth the wait

Golden Plaice is without a doubt the tastiest fish and chips around. My family live in Radlett and will drive to Borehamwood especially to get these for Saturday night dinner!

Had a takeaway, nice fresh fish and cod row, with a good portion of chips, with nice friendly staff, when I visited it was busy, but my order arrived in good time

Quando si discute di Fish & Chips si parla di Regno Unito dove questo piatto è popolare. Sarà per il pesce a buon mercato, sarà per la semplicità della preparazone, oppure la scelta di pezzi offerti di varia grandezza, insomma abbiamo capito che si trova pressoche in quasi tutti i pub e take away shops.

Don't go to any other chippie in the area. This is without doubt the best! Not posh. But reasonably priced for excellent food. Go once and you will go back again and again.

We where taken here by friends for our birthday treat, have never been there before but wonderful service and great rock salmon, thank you so much for a great meal.

The best in Borehamwood? Quite possibly. The fish is fresh. The chips aren't frozen. Have been going for 20 plus years. Consistently good.

It’s just the best I have found in the North London area, and having lived here for 30 years I’ve tried quite a few, so believe me! I now live a 3 minute walk away, it may not be what my doctor recommends, but I will be a happy man!!

in the mood for Fish and Chips in Elstree this place had the best reviews.

I've been purchasing F&Cs; from the Golden Plaice for nigh on 20 years so about time I did a review!
