Knight's Fish & Chips Est 1909 in Mendip

Avoid this over priced chippy with the rudest staff iv ever known!! Food is standard, nothing special. They will try rip you off and when you complain they will laugh in your face. Tried to make me buy 2 meals when I only asked for one all because I wanted a extra sausage. Over 30 pounds for chips cheese and gravy with 2 battered sausage and 3 drinks!! Was told she explained that It would be this way but only pointed out the small print on the menu when I was leaving. All the while laughing in my face. This was the manager apparently! Trading standards have been called.. never once I have walked out and refused to pay but there was no way I was being treated like that. She even said she knew I'd be "like this" but never took the time to come explain that you can't just buy another sausage with your dinner without paying for another full meal. Absolutely bizarre. Never heard of any business charging people that way. Safe to say i will not be going back for standard food that they want you to remortgage your house for. Rude nasty manager with no customer skills at all!!!

Lovely Fish and Chips that would be difficult to beat. We booked a table for a Friday night to have a fish n chips supper. All I can say is, it was generous and tasty. Well cooked chips, super crispy batter and perfectly cooked fish. Nothing greasy about them at all. I had cod and my misses haddock. Service was really friendly too. Wish I lived down here just for this chippy, fortunately we have a very good one too near where we live but not this good.

These folk rightly have the accolade for best Fish and Chip Restaurant in the country. I go there far too frequently, however my most recent visit on Saturday 12th October proved to be the best fish and chip experience I have ever had. The cod was so brilliant. The chips were perfect. The curry sauce to die for. And Thatchers! Thank you Knights From, a very happy Glastonbury resident.

Absolutely incredible fish and chips. Fairly priced for the quality.

Working local a bit of chippy tea research brought me to this gem in the heart of Glastonbury. It’s won the national fish & chip restaurant award for a reason you really will not be disappointed. I had the Haddock Special with fruity curry sauce topped with a battered black pudding. The batter was lovely and crispy not greasy at all the Haddock sublime just flaked with the slightest touch and the chips perfect! Give it a try your taste buds will be in orbit.

Easily one of the best Chippies in the country I've experienced so far!

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Will definitely be visiting again

If you're craving authentic, traditional fish and chips, *Knight's Fish & Chips* is the place to be. With over a century of history, they have truly mastered the art of this classic British dish. The fish was perfectly fried: crispy on the outside, while the fish inside remained tender and flaky. The batter was light and golden, not greasy, which made every bite delicious. The chips were thick-cut, soft on the inside, and just the right level of crunchy on the outside. The portions were generous, and the food was piping hot, fresh from the fryer. Highly recommended!

Can absolutely see why this place is award winning. The cod and chips and hake and chips were delicious. The batter was thin and crispy. The sides of mushy peas and curry sauce were lovely and great size portions. Staff were really friendly and efficient. Great touch having draught beer. Book a table of you want to eat in, it gets very busy. Took our dog and she loved it too!

We are a family of five and between had the equivalent of three meals, costing 33.35 takeaway. My partner was to share his meal with my son, and on leaving asked if he could have another small empty tray to put my son's share in. The old woman who served us shocked us with her immediate sharp decline to this request. She stated ' I have given you what you have paid for, not what you haven't paid for.' My partner said 'we have just spent 33.35 on fish and chips, and you won't give us a box.' She then replied the boxes cost her. My partner said to not worry about it, no problem, as we were leaving the shop. The old woman server proceeded to say to other customers, 'blimey o Riley, some people!!' My partner had left the shop at this point as she continued to exclaim about our seemingly absurd request. This is without any doubt a terrible attitude. Looking at some of the reviews, this poor attitude and service seems to be a common thread. I would say to the old lady who served us, irrespective of your station in life, you are in the business of serving the people, so perhaps try being a little more servile.

Best fish and chips I've had in years. Freshly cooked to order. Chips were golden, hot and a nice crispyness. Fish was also cooked to order. Piping hot and fresh. Batter light and crispy and when the oil it was fried in tasted delicious. If you want to get your faith back in good old fish and chips, come here. Service delightfull and friendly.

Exceptional fish and chips - some of the best I've ever had. My son thought he didn't like battered fish until I brought him here - you totally changed his mind!

Amazing fish and chips. Definitely see why awards have been won. Well done, everyone

Excellent gluten-free fish and chips, friendly staff available to help in case of allergies, nice and clean place.

Fab place , my first time eating in but I’ve used the take away before, amazing food , staff really friendly and helpful ( even got a bowl of water for our dog)can’t wait for my next visit

Amazing food. Best Fish and Chips anywhere. Really light batter on the fish and chips to die for 😋

Great batter and lovely service.

The restaurant was closing as we arrived. As take away customer, they won't allow to use their toilets. I think this is excessively poor. As its their premises and perogative how to run their business, it definitely was my first and last time there. Clearly my custom is not appreciated nor needed.

Fast ,friendly , fabulous , fish and chips , thoroughly enjoyed by all 3 of us , a tour de force 😋😃

Waited ages, people who ordered after me were getting their food quicker than me when I ordered less than them. Asked at the counter how long it would be (waited 25 mins at this point), just to be told it was waiting under the counter, it had been there 10 minutes, I was stood in the waiting area the entire time, no one called my number out. Was soggy and disgusting by the time we got it. They wouldn't even give me a napkin, have to pay for them on top. Whole thing was overpriced and rubbish, very disappointing

I thought Cod Scallops near me in Nottingham was my favourite fish and chippy (nationally award winning) Think again - Knights' Fish and Chips was epic! Beautiful golden brown batter, succulent chunky fish, classic chippy Chips, mushys, curry sauce, 🤌 beautiful. Great, personable service from the team. A cracking chippy. Great location. Nice to be able to eat in. A lovely courtyard if you prefer to sit outside in the sun. They serve local produce (Wilkins cider) 😋. Would very much recommend if you're visiting and fancying something tasty, Substantial and value for money.

Two weeks ago i thought i would try this award winning chippy and ordered 2 cod and one portion of chips and to be honest the chips were fine but quite expensive but the fish was awful, the fish portion was very small and it was covered in the greasiest thickest batter i have ever tasted so i am wondering if i was just unlucky or is this the norm so i will stay in street and stay with parks

What amazing food! The best fish and chips myself and my husband have ever eaten. Really friendly staff too. Would 100% recommend.

Visited with friends, on the recommendation of another. We found it friendly, well-organised, canine-friendly (the dogs got their own water bowl brought to the table), and the food was very well prepared. The menu is extensive, including puddings and a range of alcoholic drinks is also served for those that want it. Highly recommend.

A great place for a family (3 generations) meal. A great meal and a menu with a lot of choice.

Bloody good. Recommended. Very nice staff. Clean.try them.

from the moment our party of 4 was seated and i mentioned only 3 of us would be eating, i would just have a coffee as a coeliac, this is my choice but the waitress immediately became terse and unfriendly because i chose not to eat, our visit was further ruined by the fact we had a couple with 2 dogs placed at the table behind us, then another couple with a dog to the side of our table which set the 2 smaller dogs off with persistent whimpering and yapping, in the small enclosed cafe space this noise was excruciating & distressing to both my ASD children so we had to leave asap to get them out of that environment , a truly unpleasant & upsetting visit Thank you Knight's fish and chip's for your response, Firstly as dog lovers we have no problem with well behaved dogs but due to the restaurant size, when they start barking or yapping the sound is magnified greatly which will be difficult for some customers to tolerate. But my main response is to your statement that because i am coeliac and often CHOOSE not to eat EVEN in restaurants stating gluten free for my own personal reasons , but as the main carer to both my children whom are both ASD as well as managing my son's type 1 insulin injection's to enable him to eat, it was not a choice for me to 'disappear' elsewhere and not take up a seat whilst the rest of my family ate, but do not fear as we will not be returning to inconvenience you further

Been visiting knights for years for fish and chips and they never let me down. They’re the best ☺️

This gem was founded way back in 1890 & has recently won National Chippy awards so we were very keen to try it. We were too late to eat in their restaurant (that shuts at 8.30pm) so we had a take-away. They offer a catch of the day & had hake when we visited. We got hake, chips & mushy peas plus battered cod with garlic & oregano fries with aioli. We also had to try their curry sauce. Service was efficient & friendly. Meal deals, Pukka pies & other seafood including scampi are also offered.

On my most recent visit to England from Canada, we stopped off for tea at this local chip shop. Food was fresh and high quality ,cooked in fresh oil.The thatchers cider on tap was crisp, the service was excellent, and the shop was clean and inviting.Would highly recommend! It’s no doubt they won best fish and chips of 2024!

Wanted single bag of chips. Ended up waiting for people after me to be served. Seemed they care about big orders first. Won't be going back. Expensive and poor service. Considering their awards.

Lives up to it's award winning status. The fish and chips are up there with the best I've had in the country. The customer service is excellent and the cooks obviously take pride in their product, as is evident by the quality. Please be prepared to wait at busy times as you can't prepare food of this standard in 10 minutes. The drinks are reasonably priced and the courtyard is a wonderful place to eat in warmer times. It was a pleasure to eat in an establishment that put customer service and quality of food above simply making a profit.

What a big surprise I had to make a visit and to have a delicious 😋 fish & chips from KNIGHTS they where very friendly the staff was professional they serve me the best fish & chips so well cooked to perfection I gave than 11 out of 10 now they are my Nr-1 choice I can recommend in the beautiful town of Glastonbury congratulations 🙌 love from Mr. Wig. YouTube

Simple but delicious! If you are in Glastonbury and looking for good Fish & Chips, this is the place.

Great fish and chips, Service was great.

Lovely fish and chips. Friendly staff

A truly fab bit of cod. Speedy service. Food gorgeous. Staff could not be nicer Go, your stomach will thank you.

Chips: a few nice ones but underneath they were all inedible..hard with no centre..cpuld crsck a tooth! Had to throw them away and very pricey given they were inedible.

Best fish and chips I have ever had the pleasure of eating 😋

Friendly,excellent service. Tasty food, great value. Highly recommend !

Well deserved award winners, of fish and chips restaurant of the year 2024 😎👍🏼

Most amazing food and service. Beautiful building. Dine in or takeaway. Best to book.

Massive fish & chips and it was so good. Service was amazing too! They're fast and attentive. It's better to get a reservation before going here as they're really busy. There was already a queue when we arrived to their shop even before their open hours, but our reservation helped us get a table immediately. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we'll definitely come back.

Extremely poor service. Wouldn't let my 4 year old use the toilet because it's only for the restaurant. I said no to salt and vinegar and they drenched it in salt. I'm guessing that was to mask the dirty chip oil taste of the food. Disgusting!!

Great fish and chips. Tables a little cramped but open log fire adds atmosphere on a cold wet night. This was our third visit , will not be our last.

Delicious Knights special fish & chips with bread & tea perfect thank you

Takeaway and restaurant. Service a little slow but it was busy. Fish and chips are excellent and cooked to order.

There is a reason they are fish and chip shop of the year. Lovely place never sat down for a meal in the restaurant but the take away is always lovely

friendly staff ..... quick service ... delicious food

Very expensive and extremely greasy

Best fish and chips I have had for many years. Service, prices and quality couldn't be faulted. Would love to be a local and be able to eat there regularly

The best service, the best atmosphere and the best nosh - fish and chips- but let's not forget the booze!

What a fantastic place. The staff were all fantastic & the restaurant was clean & very nice. The food was excellent & it was one of the best tasting chippy dinners I've had. I had the special of Haddock & it didn't disappoint. The chips were lovely & crispy. A portion of mushy peas & a bread roll were worthy extras. Highly recommended

The food, is good, not amazing. But what is amazing are the prices! With moody staff I am surprised this place is still going. But it's clean and nice inside and enjoyable food once it arrives. Wanted to go with an above average 4 stars, but the prices and staff kind of killed it for me.

My local chippy. Proper chips, great location. I'll always come back.

All food cooked to your liking, friendly staff. Take away and waiter service available

One star from me as they deep fry in sunflower oil :( so I daren’t even make an order :( Deep frying in sunflower oil is a super unhealthy & a known carcinogen. Surely a proper fish & chip shop should be deep frying in beef dripping, which is a much healthier fat to fry in. And it’s the traditional way!

Got take away. Good fish and chips!

Beautiful fish and chips, absolutely faultless. Curry sauce was banging too.

Discriminates against GF customers. I didn't manage to order at 20:35 only to be told GF cooking stops at 20:30!

Best fish and chips in the country? Not sure about that but it's pretty good!!

Award worthy indeed. Very friendly service. Cod cooked to perfection and cheesy chips mushy peas and gravy were great. Good prices for the quality. Best fish and chips I've ever had.

An absolute must for anyone visiting Glastonbury, knocks spots off the other takeaways, (particularly the Chinese). Fishcakes are the best I have ever eaten. Generous portion of chips .

Came to visit with fairly high expectations - No.1 chippy in the UK apparently - and ordered standard takeaway cod & chips with mushy peas £11. What I got was a thick crispy battered tiny piece of fish (see pic) and decent chips. I took the pic after I had taken a small bite off the end of what my local would've served as a kids portion or fish bite. I can only think after all the accolades they've gotten a bit greedy, cut down portion size and hiked their prices while they ride on their reputation..BTW there was no option to choose thickness of batter and the fish was not freshly fried to order. Disappointing and won't be going back...

Great Fish and Chips and a very good Fish cake.

Rightly voted best fish and chip shop in the UK. The food is excellent. Charlotte and all the staff are so very friendly and welcoming. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

First visit after reading the reviews. The service is good, not cheap £24.95 for 2 x cod, chips & peas. The fish was excellent, the peas barely warm and the chips were mostly small sharp ended nubs. Not good value for overall product.

Absolutely the best fish and chips on this planet. Lovely restaurant with amazing staff. Highly recommended

Such a lovely chip shop/restaurant. Super friendly staff, excellent food, good value for money, restaurant clean, and in a beautiful building. One of our favourites and we will be back. Highly recommend a visit.

One of the best fish and chips around. However the portion of beans is sub par and needs to be reassessed. Other than that I'll keep returning and would recommend to anyone. Fish cakes are proper nice

Now do gluten free options every day which is great 👍🏽

Banging food 👍🏻 friendly staff, and a fire inside to boot. Thanks 😊

The food was almost as good as their reputation. My wife’s meal was slightly spoilt by bones(3)in her fish. Also the young man serving needs to listen to the order(two tartar when only one requested and no mushy peas as per order. His hygiene standards were a bit awry. To remove bad pieces from a dish & then wipe your hands on your trousers? Our meal was left on serving hatch until I asked if it was ours. Consequently plates were half cold allowing food to cool before the end of the meal. Minor issues certainly & the devil is in the detail .

Great food, friendly staff. Reservation recommended on the weekend.

Great staff, very nice food. Great ambiance.

Been many years since I last went here, but dined in the restaurant just before Christmas. Food and service was exactly as I remembed it to be. No wonder it has won so many awards. Well worth a visit . Fish and chips how they should be.

Good service and OK fish and chips

The 'regular' fish portion, should really be called irregularly small. Great batter and good fish, but beware of the sizes.....

Lovely place for eat in fish and chips and a beer or wine.

Probably my favourite chippy in all the land 🤗

Delicious fish and chips! Highly recommended! And also super friendly service. Highly recommended if you ever visit Glastonbury!

Can wait up to 30 min for orders at busy times in the evening

Very lovely place friendly staff highly recommend

Fed us well. Very good fish and chips. (Also offers vegan tofu-fish, but we didn't try it). Serves Wilkins local cider in the restaurant.

Fantastic food, a little expensive for a chippy but they're a level above anywhere nearby and the quality of the food is more than worth the price Staff seem to have a laugh with each other and customers while working - showing it can't be too horrible to be working there, also very nice

We go every Friday. Fantastic fish and chips lovely staff. Charlotte the boss. Amazing. Can’t wait for Fridays.

Servic and food very good disappointed there were 3 dogs in dining room one a hairy greyhound sort had its head on the table.I will only have take away in furure

STAYING AT OLD OAKS TOURING PARK WHERE THERE IS A DELIVERY SERVICE FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT.. EXCELLENT FOOD, VERY FRESH AND EXTREMELY TASTY.. COULD NOT ASK FOR ANY BETTER!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF STAYING NEARBY AND DEFINITELY USE THE SERVICE AT OLD OAKS AGAIN.. CRAIG AND LOUISE

Delighted to be able to get gluten free here. Both the regular cod for my partner and the gf cod for me were superb and all the chips are gf. A rare treat. Staff lovely too.

Great fish & chips, well cooked & crispy!

Genuinely one of better fish and chips places locally

Great gluten-free choices, and now, every day!

As we've been walking by, we expected just another fast food corner shop. We did not expect a full blown restaurant. The food arrived quickly, it was really delicious and staff members were really nice. Definitely coming back again 😊

One of the best fish and chips I’ve had. Large cod and it was really big! Good value for money. See you again definitely.

Absolutely love this place, been coming here on and off for ages. Love the new menu, staff are excellent. The only thing I can't stand is that SO MANY of the other customers are literally obsessed with their xxxxing phones. Yabbering away loudly, constant moronic and loud noises, definitely spoils the whole eating experience.

Epic food! Great fish and chips but the calamari is totally top notch. We eat here every time we're in town!

Bought some emergency chips to keep our toddler happy and they were outstanding!

I had a fish burger here, the fried fish was a bit oily for me.

Amazing food service and history

Good value for money, polite staff, good food.
