Traditional fish n chips 🍟 😋 love it

Fish is excellent. Chips are OK.

Been eating their food for many years. Their fish and chip menu is just as you would expect and everything is good; from the pies to the fish and everything in between. Their Chinese food is also really good. We like the chicken curry and special fried rice, the salt and pepper ribs and my favourite is the crispy chicken with sesame seeds and chilli - no one does it better. Best to call and order before going to pick up they will give you an order number and a pick up time. Also they only take cash!

Really nice food and the owners are always friendly.

I really fancied a fish n chips tonight and with it being a bank holiday weekend most places were actually shut. Happy friend however, wasn’t. I have had their battered sausage, chips and fish cake before and they were really good so thought why not give the cod, pies and curry sauce a try. I can say that Happy Friend is probably the best place to get fish and chips in Leagrave. Considering they are actually more of a Chinese takeaway that does fish and chips, they are actually really good at it. The curry was very full of flavour, the cod freshly fried, covered in a very crispy, tasty batter. The pies were really nice, Pukka pies… chips also very very nice and they aren’t shy with portions either. Price wise it’s amazing and for the quality, I’d happily pay more. I honestly wish I took photos but once I took a bite out of the fish I was taken aback… I wasn’t even paying attention to my movie anymore, let alone think about photos LOL. The people and extremely friendly. The shop is family owned so you know every penny spent is for a good reason and it goes in the pockets of a bunch of very deserving people. I forgot to ask her name but the lady that served me was amazing, happy to engage in conversation & we had a few laughs making the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend. I’ve got to try their Chinese next. ❤️

Good value for money and very authentic

Best Chinese food in Luton!!!! This is my new spot

First time ordering from here and I’ll definitely be back! I got fish and chips with curry sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked, chips were fresh. Good portions and tasty

First time ordering from here. Good service. Food was really tasty not greasy like some can be. Fish was battered exactly as requested. Will be returning.

Excellent food 100% of the time! Only down side is they don't accept Card. Decent Price Too!

Has this choppy changed hands because the food has gone right down hill the last few months, won’t go there again or tell my friends about.

Nice fish n chips 🐟 🙂👍recommended

Ordered chow mein and egg fried rice from here today and the rice was awful. NO flavour, NO colour, literally had 3 pieces of egg in the rice and the rice was uncooked and needed to boil for longer. It seems they’ve put all there efforts into the fish and chips and none into the Chines food. To serve such a poor quality dish to a customer is disgraceful.

I live in Devon, but visit Luton often as my family is here!! Best Chinese!!!! Best fish and chips!!!! The fish is incredible!! The portion sizes are extremely generous. The chips themselves taste great!!! Good quality potatoes. The beef curry is my go-to if I don't have fish and chips

Clean , quick service no problem.

Was OK nice tast was cash only 🙄😉🤔

Terrible service says open on Google and close when I get there happened to me a few times now

We are regular customers, and never disappointed.

The fresh chips were nicely done, only thing I didn't like was they mixed some older chips in with them and they were soggy,limp and brown,apart from that the fresh chips were good.

Probably the best chippy chips I've ever had! Reasonably priced too!

Good service and Chinese food was hot tasty and reasonably priced 👍

Good size chip portions. Really nice cod, sausages, and the Chinese menu is really nice as well.

Friendly staff and the best chips in Luton!

my favourite lil chip shop, the food is great and the man who takes my order over the phone is the loveliest 💖

The owners are the nicest people! The food tastes so nice and is super fresh! 100% recommend

Best chinese/chip shop in luton

Always friendly and polite. The food tastes great and good portions.

Nice people good quick service affordable prices highly recommended and will now be returning here on a regular basis! Btw they do the best fish & chip curry sauce in Luton... it's tasty and thick. I can't stand the thin watery substance you get at other fish & chip shops!

Great fish, pie n chips, and Chinese curries

Great food, won't go anywhere else. Friendly staff.

Fantastic food and great pricing. The staff are always polite and well mannered.

We ordered a takeaway with chicken, and received beef! We dont eat beef! Not great service when we called, to let them know. We had to go back, no refund offered! Not a happy customer

Nicest fish and chips shop in luton

Beautiful,definitely worth a visit

Excellent service, great food and great prices.

Friendly and helpful staff... Delicious food

Best fish and chips in Luton. They certainly don’t skimp on portions, always freshly cooked and delicious, whether or choose chicken, fish or anything else. Chinese is delicious too. Family run, very friendly staff. Our family have been going here for well over 10 years, nowhere else is as good. They do get busy Thursday, Friday and Saturday but the food is well worth the wait.

Great food at reasonable prices

Food is fresh and delicious friendly staff

Fish and chips lover a well recommended place for fresh food staff very friendly and fast and friendly service

Perfectly acceptable, good price decent portion.

Have been going to Happy Friend Fish and Chips for many years. Always lovely food. Friendly owner and his family. Thank you.

Not very often used but available when needed, average.

So love this take away. Been using it for years. Food is tasty and really good service. I like the smoked chicken best smoked chicken anywhere!!

Enjoyed a great Chinese takeaway. Always very friendly. They cook fish and chips plus have a Peking and Cantonese Menu too.

Great food and great service every time.

Avoid it , fish not cooked properly. Tried to complained to the owner he hanged up on me .

Worst fish I ever had in my life. Cooked straight from freezer , deep inside fish was still cold , the fish it self was so has sounds like fish was refreeze many times. Stay away please .not worth a penny

The best fish & chips in Luton, we've had both fish and chips and Chinese from there and it's just the best. Great food & very lovely people 😍

In all honesty, foods always excellent and the patties are 👌 M.C

Just spent £2.30 on large chips to take away. Got home, they were horrible greasy and soggy never go there again.

best chips on the planet, lovely king prawn curry, chow mein, prawn and chicken balls, prawn toast, and a great duck with pancakes -never had a bad meal from here, had lovely cod from here too, very friendly staff too.

Best chippy/Chinese around. I travel from dunstable to get this. Also I really like the family that run it.

Brilliant nosh, quality chips, yeahh boiii!

Delicious food great value for money

Wanted a treat leading up to xmas (23 Dec) and was advised against going to Tangs (which is closest to my home) so I remembered driving past here. IT IS EXCELLENT! The fish is delicious (batter is heavenly) and it coats the chips in a delicious fish-like aroma (best when its lightly salted). Someone also mentioned the portion size in another review and I have to agree it was huge (chips were heaped generously and fish was around 30cm) - had to finish it in 2 sittings at home as it was so filling (and I'm not exactly a skinny person). Mine cost £5.90 (large) which I found worth it after seeing the size and how long it took to finish. The staff were very kind and informative on how long I would have to wait (6 mins to fry each fish), and speedy while packing it up to take away. I think you have to buy dips like tartar sauce and ketchup pouches (25p each) which isn't too bad. There are seats for waiting, otherwise it is purely take away to eat at home. I think a small portion costs just over £5, medium is near £5.50 and large is £5.90. My brother brought home some 'high-end' fish&chips a fews days after xmas but it was no where near as good as Happy Friend! Thank you again, my family were happy and stuffed!

Great service and portions are plentiful

Fabulous food. Salt and pepper chicken a must. Clean and fresh 😊

great chips, best dish is smoked shredded chicken, it has a really good taste. chips are good. The service is friendly and happy.

Great fish and chips, Clean, reasonably priced and very friendly, helpful staff.

The happy friend in my opion is the best chip shop serving chinese food around . They will serve a half portion of chips unlike a lot of others saving waste. The spare ribs and currys are wonderful and good sized portions very reasonably priced ....well worth a visit

A really good value fish and chip shop serving lovely food to take away and always tasty and good portions. Service is always efficient and staff are friendly. This is also a Chinese takeaway we use both and as already stated the food is great we think it is the best in the area. The Chinese food is always very flavoursome and all dishes taste different unlike at some establishments whatever you order it all tastes the same not so here. We recomend heartily this resturant.

wicked place love the curry it's the best inntiwn

I'm sad to have to review this place again and this time in the negative. It's probably been longer since I last visited, I swore never to go back there. Only in desperate times... whatever that means in the given context. Value for money is no longer how these guys operate. 90% of the time these days their oil is dirty and you can taste it in the chips and whatever else has been fried. Their portion control of their chips make them the opposite of value for money. If they were nice, clean and fresh tasting all the time you wouldn't mind paying but they're not that. It's 2017 and I haven't been back there only for other people upon request, never myself and they always regret it. Sorry. Bake n Fry opposite McDonalds is better or even better Luton Town Fish and Chips on Calverton Road, this where I go and I'm not local. They're open all day from 11am - 9pm 👌🏽

Used this place for years. Lovely food and fast friendly service.

This place is lovely the guy in there is so friendly always gives the kids haribos when they come in you get a good amount of food for your money so all good

Always friendly staff and always superb food both fish and chips and chinese take away I travel a good distance to come here and will do in the future Keep up the good work

Excellent local chip shop/ Chinese , and very friendly staff.

always lovely food, friendly staff, fish and chips good too, chips are always served fresh on our visits, always maintain good standards at busy times, love happy friend!

They do fish and chips here really well. Very pleased with how staff are towards customers. Polite and friendly. Will I return? Yes☺

I've eaten both fish & chips and Chinese food from the Happy Friend Fish Bar. I'm always happy with the food and service.

I love it ive been going for years
