Major Plaice in Epsom and Ewell

Very friendly staff who were cooking lots of lovely fresh chips! Perfect for the end of part 7 of the London Loop. Good whitebait and chips.

Thank you for lovely food. Needed a new fish shop after north cheam fish and chips was taken over and prices increased and standards went down. Tried Major Plaice and very pleased. Nowhere will ever beat historic NCF&C prices for value but willing to pay extra for good food. We had a cod, a plaice, large chips and curry sauce. Lovely batter cooked just right. Fish served in boxes with slice of lemon and tartare sachet. Really delicious. Will be our new go to.

Had a large code and chips their was more batter than fish it was dreadful I phoned and complained they offered my money back I said don,t bother I won,t go there again absolutely a top off, it was a take away

Ordered for delivery via Deliveroo. Food arrived within half an hour. The cod was very nice and hot, the chips were bland, unsalted, no vinegar, almost cold and dry. Won't be usiing again as it cost nearly £26

I'm nearly 50 so I've had a fair few (too many) fish and chip meals in my life. I think this was the best one I've ever had. Haddock was cooked perfectly and not dried out at all. Batter was perfect and chips just how I like them. Not local to me but I'd try them again. Deliveroo'd but still hot by the time I received them even though I'm two towns away.

We came here for a lovely meal on Valenties day as we had both been working and wanted an easy meal. it was so tasty and we will definitely be coming back more often, the fish was piping hot and the chips were so tasty, next time i go there i think i will have the fish poached for a change it was brilliant, just a shame they don't serve alcohol . Would definitely recommend this place

Just got meals from here and so disappointed - chips pale and several had a greenish tinge. My top of my pie was like a biscuit - assume it had sat too long and dried out, on top and inside. Used to be such a good chippy. One person had a battered sausage that was ok.

Came here last week friday. Despite there only being a couple of staff it was really quick service. Fish and chips were cooked to order. Fresh fish and chips were lovely. Prices are very reasonable. Would definitely going back again.

Went last week for a dine in as it's been a while since I last went. Service was terrible and slow only two staff, I understood it's a Friday but the fella behind the till was too old and kept getting people's orders wrong. Tonight I gave them another chance with a take away... the sausage and batter was soggy not crispy and the curry sauce was that watery it might as well of been soup.

wow lovely fish and chips cooked fresh in front of you, the batter is thin and the chips are yummy, the staff are lovely, would reccomed this place to anyone who likes nice fish and chips and not stuff left under warm oven. Must eat here.

We are here on a Saturday night there was 8 of us the service was good we got bread and butter along with pickles and eggs etc brought to the table The staff were very nice and the food was good I would return

Great food in this place but the service is soooo slow. Even for pre ordered food over the phone you have to wait ages when you get to the shop. I know they cook from fresh but there are plenty of fish and chip shops that cook from fresh and don't take anywhere near as long.

Possibly the best in the area. Good quality cod and chips. Chips usually too many for us! Fish cooked fresh - oil appears to be hot and good quality. Parking is difficult to collect the takeaway but the food is worth it.

Went here for a lrge family meal. We were greeted by a lovely young lady who had already set our table out. Complimentary bread gerkins and pickled onions. We were allowed to bring our own alcohol. Order was made to our specific requests and waitress was very attentive. It was a busy friday evebing with lots oftake away customers. Despite this we felt very well taken care of. Fish was amazing veey fresh and cooked extremely well. Credit where credit is due. Definitely will be ging here again.

Live round the corner from this place, I have to say it is great. Most of the fish is cooked to order, the batter is crispy and not soggy and the chips are well done unlike some other places I have been too. Would highly recommend. I have only ever had takeaway from here but the inside restaurant looks very clean.

we had a meal there before Christmas and the food was delicious. Excellent Fish & Chips. The staff were very polite with healthy deserts to follow.

Very very very good fish and chips. Open at very convenient times and the portions are very large. I’ve been back three times since my first visit.

We have regular take aways and have always found the fish and chips fresh and clean. Everything is well packaged and at an attractive price

Great Fish and chips, but slow service even if you order in advance. On two occasions ordered Cheeseburger but did not get any cheese. Hamburger not the best ever tasted, too much salad and dressing. Suggest you stick to the fish which is excellent.

Fantastic service, great food - every week we get fish and chips from here, as does the father in law.. never disappoints

We've just had a 'small' fish and chips (if that was small, can't imagine how large is 'large') and it was soft and succulent. The batter was light and non-greasy and the chips were just right. The meal was served with onions and gherkins, with salad on the plate and with lovely fresh French bread and butter. The cappuccino afterwards was large and creamy and served with a mint chocolate. All in all, this was good value for money with friendly service and we have recommended this place to friends already.

En verdad, si usted es el propietario y leyendo esto, tienes que entrar en su tienda y ordenar! El peor tomar pescado y patatas fritas de distancia que he tenido! No estoy convencido de mi cod era "fresco" como el bacalao tenía aspecto y sabor que lo habían sentado allí por unas cuantas horas no dejar muchas críticas, pero me parece necesario para advertir a la gente que no hay que perder el dinero ganado duro en ser servido comida asquerosa. absoluta Solucionar por favor! Comida en la papelera! arrojaban

Ha sido aquí para comer, trabajar en oficinas locales, siempre he estado cansado como siempre muerto a la hora de la comida y el kebab shop está ocupado pero ahora entiendo por qué.

il locale è piccolo ma i ragazzi sono veloci ed il pesce perfetto, anche le patatine non le solite surgelate,...

Había 10 de nosotros, y pedimos comida para llevar por teléfono, entonces tratábamos la vuelta de la esquina para recogerla.

Have been here many times before they had to close.Now they've re-opened, be prepared to wait for longer than normal. The team worked so hard all the time we were there, as it was Friday and their opening week. There were some unjustifiable complaints from some impatient customers. Whats thw rush? It's not like it's a mid-week schiol night and we like to take our time to enjoy the experience. But credit given, where credit due. The fish is cooked to order and fresher than you will ever get anywhere inland.The staff are very helpful and Rihanna was friendly and courteous. Please bear with them. It's always a nightmare on the first few weeks of reopening any establishment.Take a bottle of Prosecco with you and relax while you wait. A drink and a chat will help pass the time

I ordered a grilled fish burger (as stated on menu) but when it was close to being served it was obvious they were frying the fish and not grilling it. I pointed this out, and the fact that fried food makes me sick, and their response was "fried or grilled what's the difference?". I must point out that my previous visits here have been excellent. But if you definitely want grilled and not fried then watch out!

Best chippy in the area. Right balance of friendliness, prices and excellent food. So glad it reopened after a fire!

Good quality fish and chips and good value. They use good oil which adds to the flavour. I believe they are part of a chain - the main one being up on the downs. Staff friendly too.

If you are looking for great fish and chips then this is a place. If you want to take scampi or anything else than fish then be carefull because it taste like cardboard.

Every thing cooked fresh to order. Cod was perfectly cooked flaky and tender, very fresh. the chips were perfectly cooked and not greasy at all. My meal was served with complimentary pickles and pickle onions. Service was great and friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely fresh fish and chips; tasty mushy peas. Unexpected side of bread and butter, pickled onions, gherkins and a side salad. A kind, considerate, efficient service. Thank you.

Good value fish and chips. If you eat in you get pickled onions and gherkins and bread and butter to nibble while you wait. The fish is cooked fresh so the is a slight wait.

This is an "alarming" plaice for fish and chips, and it's right on our doorstep.We normally do a 40 mile round trip for fish and chips and we just didn't realise the high standard of fish at this restaurant. Went down a treat and we were allowed to open a bottle of our own wine, with no corkage fee! But we would have happily paid for it, after all ......... the glasses won't clean themselves! !Definitely gonna visit this establishment again.Oh and by the way ..... due to popularity, expect a large queue on a Friday. It's very clean too.Ishmael who served us in the restaurant is very friendly and approachable. What is there not to love about the variety of food establisments in Ewell Village?

After a 20 minute wait for a takeaway order, the meal we sat down to at home was amongst the worst we have ever received. Ropey fish, uncooked chips and greasy batter - though, to be fair, the sheer volume of batter encasing not very much fish was an astonishing feat of culinary engineering. Thirty quid's worth of dinner that we threw straight in the bin in favour of a slice of toast. Avoid!

I arranged for my elderly parents to have fish and chips at The Major Plaice as a birthday treat for my father. Thanks to Ifet and Boni for their amazing service and kindness in looking after my parents who said that the food was outstanding.

Lovely piece of fish and just right amount of batter. I ordered a small cod and it was the same size as my husbands haddock. Both our pieces of fish were very chunky and tasted fresh. Service was good, will return

Went there with 2 young children (under 2) and eventually after 1 HOUR of waiting we asked to change it to take away! Got a poor excuse about being a staff member down (how that would add on so much time is beyond me) and when we got it home, they got the order wrong!!!! The food is nice but try explaining that to hungry children...

Having worked in many chip shops in my time and also being from the south coast originally, I have some idea of good quality chip shops and this is definitely a quality chippy I have had some very tasty meals hear the chips are always good never greasy and the fish is cooked to order and of a good quality the staff are very friendly and although I haven't used it there's a restaurant attached so if you decide to eat in you can in comfort. The only thing that let's this great place down is the over absorbent prices 70P for a bread roll over £2 for chips for example it is the most expensive chippy in the area but still worth a go if your looking for a nice bit of fish n chips.

Take away fish and chips is the staff of life to many Brits. But have you tried eating this more elegantly without rushing in their restaurant facility? Really good service at both front counter (I had the OAP version and was genuinely "stuffed" thereafter) as well as inside with attentive service and condiments as required.

Courteous staff and superb fish and chips served hot and fresh. It's virtually all they do so try it out if that what you're craving.

We visited Bourne Hall and noticed this restaurant and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed - great food and very cheap deal for pensioners if you eat before 4:30.

I often go here for my Fish and Chips. Friendly service and great prices. The quality is very high and restaurant very clean. They even offer OAP discounts. This place gets a mix of crowds from school kids getting take away to families and couples who sit down in the restaurant part. I recommend this place 100%.

The best fish and chip shop for miles.. If you get a takeaway there is a small wait (unless you ring ahead) but you don't mind that because you know it's fresh and cooked to order. Highly recommend.

I would recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting a bulk order of fish and chips to be delivered.Food arrived on time, obviously freshly cooked and kept hot in individual cardboard boxes.Excellent value

We get fish and chips as a treat on the last Friday of every monthWherever possible we go here as it's the best Fish and Chips in town.Excellent service, amazing food and reasonable pricesGo here first, and you'll be going back for years !

First time here.The fish was Excellent big in size and tasted fresh.Chips were also good not greasy and a good size portion.Shop was very clean.It is the best fish shop in the area will definitely be going back.

This place is really great. It's quiet, the staff are friendly and the food is very tasty. Go here and you will honestly be eating the BEST fish and chips in Epsom and Ewell. No other chip shop in the area beats it for me. And the scampi is VERY nice.

I've been to the Major Plaice for take aways since they opened and the fish and chips have always been excellent. Lovely big pieces of fresh fish (and not too oily) with a good size portion of chips. However, I've tried other items on the menu and they have not always been very pleasant. Chicken portion was inedible as it was so dried out, sausage tasted horrible and the calamari was rubbery and dripping with oil - yuck. Staff are friendly and go out of their way to help.

This is our third visit, sitting in each time. Friendly welcome, nice slightly quirky, retro restaurant. 1960s formica feel, but modern, clean and attention to detail. I love the wall fish tank which separates the take away section from the restaurant. I love the condiment recesses and menus under the glass table top to ensure the table is clutter free. Each time: quick, discrete and efficient service; fish and chips perfect each time, well presented, with complementary gherkin nibbles starter. Proper disabled through access and toilets. Which we don't need now but I remember the struggles with my mum when they were not available in other restaurants.

Just called in when passing looking for a quick lunch to take away and got the best fish and chips that I've for a very long time. Individually packed in their own boxes with tartar sauce and lemon and three cod and chips for under £14-00. Very friendly staff. Will defiantly go back

Freshly cooked, lightly battered fish and yummy chips.They even offer a cup of tea or coffee while you wait.A welcome change.

The pot of tea was weak and cool. Batter too thick though we'd asked for lightly battered. Chips dry and like cardboard. The cod was nice. Coffee nice too. Ketchup weak and watery. Said it was Heinz = a lie! Over £25 Not worth it

Very good, polite service. Value for money lunch special. Small cod and chips and soft drink for £7. Vinegar, tarta and tomatoe sausescould be better quality though.

This is one of the best fish and chip shops around! Very well furnished, extremely friendly waitress and the most delicious plaice I've had for a long time. The squid was scrumptious too!Very much recommend

Decided to pop in for Fish and Chips and were pleasantly surprised at the standard of this Fish and Chip restaurant. We wanted to eat in and the surroundings were modern, simple and clean. My husband and I both went for a small cod and chips and I have to say that the fish was the best I have had in a Fish and Chip shop - fresh and cooked to perfection. The added pleasure of a glass of wine made our meal all the better. The waiter was attentive and genuinely concerned that we were enjoying our meal. We would definitely return.

I visited this restaurant with my daughter. She said that she had heard it as a great place to eat for fish and chips. Well, from the moment we walked into the restaurant I felt this was a great place to eat. The restaurant itself was pristine, and very comfortable. The staff were very attentive. The food came quite quickly and we were greatly impressed just how appetising it looked, and also how delicious it tasted. It is a bit expensive but certainly worth it for the quality of the food presented. And within the price the trimmings are included such as onions,and pickles, and tartare sauce etc. I think we will be returning here again and again. I would highly recommend this establishment. Some fish and chip shops have that cooking chips smell about them. Here there is none of that. The best we have ever eaten in.

lovely little fish and chip place, lots of choice on the menu and the food was delicious!- some of the best fish I've eaten, it was really fresh. also the service was good and the staff friendly. the place is decorated really nicely as well!

New restaurant in Ewell Village & tried it for the first time in January. Have been back twice in past few months as staff are friendly, efficient & food good.

We tried this new restaurant for the first time as a family and have to say the fish served was the best I've had in ages. Prices reflect the quality, so don't expect cheap, but at the same time the meals include trimmings such as pickles and pickled onions, bread and butter and any sauces you desire. Menu available includes a selection of kids' meals and various drinks including alcoholic beverages. They also offer a lunchtime deal which looked good value if you fancy popping in at lunchtime.Staff are friendly and helpful and the venue, although a little limited space-wise, was clean and inviting with interesting ceiling decorations.I've no doubt take-away food is just as good, but cannot comment further as have not tried the take-out options. Having said that, the ever-present queue probably speaks for itself.

We have never had a meal in the restaurant, only as a take away. We are very pleased with this new addition in Ewell village. The fish and chips are always very good sized portions, tasty, and the batter just right and fresh tasting. Service has always been good. Would highly recommend this as your local fish and chip take away!

First time of visiting,had small cod and chips and rock and chips,very good,too much.next time will ask for small portion of chipsAll served with bread and butter and picklesWill be going back soon If I was to change anything I would take away the glass top on the tables as it made the plates slip

Tried this restaurant for the first time owing to the excellent reviews and wasn't disappointed! Fish and chips well cooked and tasty and not at all greasy. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant was clean and nicely fitted out. Prices were also reasonable. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

This is our new local F&C place.. and I have delayed writing anything as i wanted to ensure consistency was up to my expectations.. have to admit they have always delivered above my expectations.. we have yet to eat at the restaurant so my feedback is only of their t/away side.the team are great, fun and they recognise us always.. fish is fried fresh to order (entails a little wait) but so worth it! Good variety and selection of other meals.. burger was a little disappointing a few weeks back.. but on the whole for a fish & chip establishment it's value for money and VERY tasty.. shame they close around 9pm...

We were there on opening day, because I was invited (as the local Mayor) to perform the opening ceremony of this fish and chips restaurant. The very warm welcome we received included complimentary fish and chips. We learnt that the undoubted high quality of the meal was at least partly due to two special features: first the fish is fresh, not frozen; second the chips are made on the premises, starting by peeling the potatoes. No wonder they taste superior to what one too often gets from fish and chip shops. I understand that the owners also run 3 or 4 other similar venues, each with a slightly different name but that the Major Plaice in Ewell is not related to other restaurants with the same name located elsewhere. There are cheaper alternatives, but here the fish and chips are first class. I would be very happy to eat again in any of the venues run by this family.

Just come back from here with my mum and husband after a fantastic dinner. We asked for a pea fritter to munch on while we waited for our mains and it was delicious and HUGE! There was more than enough to placate the three of us. When the waitress bought out my mum's small cod, we thought it was the king size we had ordered for my husband, so you can imagine the size his was when it came! The fish was fresh, moist and tasty with a lovely crisp batter and plentiful chips. The dishes come with warm French bread, butter, salad garnish, fresh lemon, gherkins and pickled onions as standard. We told the waitress how impressed we were and ordered a portion of ice cream to share, which again was a generous portion with a decent butterscotch sauce. They later told us the ice cream was on the house. The only slight negative was the wine was a bit warm and there was no ice in the coke. However, we didn't mention this to the staff so they may well have corrected it had we done so. For a glass of wine, a 330ml beer, two cokes, two small cods, one king size cod, a pea fritter, mushy peas and ice cream, the bill was £42-very reasonable given the quantity and the quality of the food. We will definitely be back and will recommend to all!

Have had many lovely take a ways from this place, so decided to go for a mid-week meal with my brother after work. Yes it was just as amazing as their take a ways. We ordered whitebait for starter and for main large cod and chips. The fish is cooked from fresh and is just delightful, light and fully of flavour. I can honestly say this is the best fish and chips I have ever had.

The small cod & chips was big, the large cod & chips was enormous. Lovely crispy batter & served piping hot. Shame there was no vinegar, only "non brewed condiment", which is water, acetic acid, colouring & caramel - nothing like vinegar. The tartare sauce was also on the cheap & nasty side - a shame as with decent vinegar & good tartare sauce the fish & chips would be almost perfect. The restaurant is on the narrow side, but fine for tables of up to 4 people. Next time I'll get a takeaway & use my own vinegar & tartare sauce!

My fiancée and I came here to eat two days after the Major Plaice first opened. It looked like a nice restaurant and we were looking forward to a nice fish supper. My fiancee ordered prawn cocktail as a starter, but was told it was not available. We ordered a bottle of wine, but were brought over two glasses. When we explained this to the manager, he said he would give us the bottle free of charge and let us keep the two glasses we already had, which we thought was good service.We ordered cod and chips, which was a small sized portion, and it was very disappointing. The fish was OK but there were only about ten chips on the plate, and it looked like the salad (which was unimpressive) had been used to cover this up. This was about £8 for a small portion, which seems extortionate for a fish and chips restaurant.When the bill came in, it was just under £40, and we found that they had charged us for the bottle of wine, which we were told was on the house, and were glasses free instead, presumably because it would cost them less. The price was was way too high for the amount of food we were given, or the quality. The restaurant was cramped, hot, difficult to move through, and there was a table positioned right next to the toilet, which was unisex. All through the night the manager/owner (presumably), kept apologising to all the tables for not being able to provide what they had ordered. As we squeezed through to leave, a customer was becoming irate over more bad service. All in all, it was a thoroughly disappointing experience ,and we won't be returning.

The best fish and chips restaurant in this area. I recomanded it to everyone ! Good service, clean place and nice staff.

A new licensed Fish & Chip shop in the heart of Ewell Village, providing take-away and a 40 seat restaurant. The premises are what one might call 'cosy' rather than spacious, but no less appealing for that.My first visit was mid-afternoon a few dys after the official oprning, and I was impressed with both the cleanliness generally and the focussed attitude of the four staff I saw in the cooking area - no idle chat here, everyone was getting on with something positive. I was quickly served with a portion of chips which turned out to be freshly cooked (no sign of the toughness one usually gets when chips have been kept warm too long between busy periods). I have tasted better, but not locally, and these were well up to standard for Surrey.On a subsequent visit, my two 6 year olds found the cod really delicious, well presented with tasty chips.Prices represent good value, and I'm sure this restaurant will succeed, providing as it does a welcome traditional English alternative to the various specialist restaurants in the village.

Tried here tonight. Excellent.Very, very good fish and chips, great flavour.Value okay. Bit pricey for haddock tbh but worth it over and above others in the area.
