Marigolds is the best chippy on the Wirral. It always has been as I’ve been coming here since I was a child. The owners are amazing and always friendly, as are the staff. My only complaint, and something I’d like the owners to address is the prices. I can appreciate that produce and staffing has gone up, as well as energy costs. It’s tough out there at the moment, but passing the entire cost onto the customer isn’t cool. I had two small meals and cans of drinks and it’s just cost me £21….. I’m not sure it’s fair value despite my high opinion of the place.

Just had another terrible meal from Marigolds another gift to the dustbin unfortunately. Fish was flavourless, very overcooked, no care went into the chips which were burnt , yet soggy, like they had been heated through from an earlier bad batch. Tried my hardest as was hungry but for the second time in a row had to throw it all away. So disappointed, this place gets away with murder...when will somebody who knows what they are doing open a real chip shop and put this shambles to bed.

Very disappointing, the fish (2x large catch of the day) was cooked to order (approx. 6 mins). The batter stuck to the paper wrapping, fell away from the fish and was very greasy. The fish was overcooked and dry. The chips were soggy and greasy. Just under £20 for two fish and one portion of chips does not go down as good value even accounting for inflation etc. We have visited Marigolds before and have enjoyed the food, sadly we will not be visiting again.

NO idea why people make out this is a decent chippy. First of all, they take cash only which is absurd in this day and age. Secondly, I never seen a worse portion of chips in my life. Nothing looks appetizing here, chips are void of any crisp and colour. Lastly, everything is way overpriced. If you want to be a mug and pay over the odds for crap food, this is your joint. I feel sorry for tourists that come to West Kirby and need to experience this.

What on earth has happened here? We drove here from Parkgate chippy after seeing their horrific prices. Marigolds has stopped serving fruity curry and the hot curry we were given tasted overpoweringly of fenugreek, like the mix to water proportions were all wrong. £15 for 3 x curry & chips and two portions were left as we couldn't bear the curry. Please reconsider and start doing sweet/mild/fruity curry. The hot curry is just nasty. This is not a cheap chippy and we expect better for the money.

Fish was pretty good but the chips were so poor they don’t peel them properly skin and eyes on them. The price £11.90 for fish,chips and small mushy peas is expensive for what you get I know someone who gets fish there chips from another chippy because the chips are so bad also cash only no credit card payment what’s that all about is it so inland revenue don’t see the amount of income?

Decided to give them one more chance as last time poor. Got home (I live 1min away) and chips were nearly cold.

I walked into this take. away at 7.31. i was 3rd in the queue so it took about 7 mins to place my order. So by 7.40 i had placed my order and paid. They close at 8pm so i had arrived plenty of time. Or so you would have thought. At 7.52 the owner turned the open sign off. At 7.59 the customer in front of me took her order away. and then at 8pm the owner said to me “i have run out of chips. I can peel another bag but it will take 12-15mins or i can give you your money back.” I had been in there 30 minutes. waiting for a bag of chips. i wasnt waiting another 15minutes. i took my money and vowed never to go back. If he had said when i placed my order it will take 20 mins or said sorry but i wont have any chips left so i wont take your order then that would have been fair enough. But no he waited until it was my turn to deliver his service message. I was furious, still am to be honest. i could have made my own in less time but i just wanted a quick filler. I wont go ever again. not because he ran out of his core product but because of the way he handled the customer service. For the info of the reader of this make sure you order before 7.15. Or preferably take your business somewhere else.

Popped into here and found out that it is cash only! No cards/contactless etc. I wonder why, there is no excuse these days. We had to wait 20 minutes for a very simple order, where the food we could see was already cooked and being kept hot. No idea why this was the case either. Average chippy, too long a wait for a very simple meal.

If you are looking for quantity and not quality I would recommend Marigolds. We ordered one large fish, one regular portion of chips, wholetail scampi and a cod fishcake. The fish & chips were served in one container. The fish and batter were good, but not hot enough. Also the huge quantity of chips was just about warm. The wholetail scampi was ok, but at least one piece had not had the ‘poo’ removed. The fishcake was terrible. There was a vague smell of fish about it, but it might just as well have been mashed potato in a strange yellow ‘crumb’. Very disappointing, this use to be an excellent fish & chip shop

We’ve been coming to Marigolds for a couple of years now as it’s usually really good. However, we were really disappointed this time. The fish was either not fresh, or not cod! After looking at the menu they cover themselves by saying ‘fish of the day’ . This means that they can use any fish they like. We definitely think it was a cheaper fish, maybe pollock. However, we were still charged the usual price. The British tradition of fish and chips is cod and thats what we expect. Unfortunately it was very poor from Marigold’s this time. Not sure we will go again.

Q out the door on a SAT eve, 2000hrs ish - was a 20/25 min wait....obviously popular. Average fish and chips.....not as good as parkgate.....but a bigger portion - for about same price... don't take card payment which is baffling this day and age.... all very average considering the Q we had to wait in. Parkgate has its cons (price/smaller portions) but is still best on wirral for me - and its not really close.

Arrived at 5-30pm, it was packed which is a good sign in a fish and chip shop, but the reason is the chaos of the staff when taking orders and delivering them, just watching them was painful and j just thought they needed Gordon Ramsey so sort it out. Food was poor also, fish was good, chips not so good. If you can find another fish bar go for it, only take cash by the way so be prepared although a cashpoint is next door. Forgot to state I waited at least 30 minutes.

Wanderer796516 . 2023-08-23

We live local to Marigolds and the inconsistency in both food and service has become very apparent in the last few years. The fish has always come with a more armour-plated form of batter -do many people really expect to have to ask for ‘lightly battered’ each time to avoid this? I haven’t, in chip shops where the batter’s been spot on- but the latest large fish meal’s fish batter was also dripping in oily fat, too. Can still taste it as I type. Sometimes you get the salt and vinegar on the things you asked it to be on, sometimes you don’t. Maybe some on the fish. Maybe some on the chips. Maybe on both. Maybe none. It’s a lottery, even when you’re asked and clear in your response. Also, the pot of whatever sauce you order now seems to live in the main meal container -like the small fish meal’s- meaning less room for chips. A one-off mistake, or a cost cutting exercise on an already expensive -yes, prime spot, expensive rent, etc…- chippy meal? And there’s the times -more regularly than should be happening- we get home to find something missing and one of us has to quickly walk back to get it, in order to try and eat food that’s still warm, as a family. Everything really has become incredibly hit and miss, as I said, particularly recently. Maybe some of this is down to the seemingly revolving door of younger staff that now form a chunk of the workforce, and yes, they need a chance and to learn, but customer experience is customer experience. I’ve not checked, but there used to be responses/reasons/excuses from the team to reviews on here. Quite right that businesses have a right to reply, but I can be pretty sure that our experience will not be unique among people who go to Marigolds regularly. When it’s good, it’s pretty decent, but you really can not bank on getting a good meal, or even everything that you order. High time this place had a decent local chippy rival and was forced to take up its slack. For the time being, we’ll still go, but that’s definitely more down to convenience of locality than merit of the consistently great food they claim to have, but haven’t for a while. Even a bit telling and sneaky that they no longer display their FSA hygiene rating since it slipped a notch. It’s still a ‘4’ but that used to be better (5), too.

My wife and I had a nice walk around the lake at West Kirby. We decided it would be nice to have some fish and chips and drive back to the prom to eat them. Marrigolds were always the place to go to for lovely Fish & Chips. Over the years we often would drive from our home in Heswall to Marrigolds. I've got to say the last time we went we were disappointed with the quality but assumed it was an off day. However, our visit last night confirmed that this is no longer the go to place it once was.We ordered cod and were asked large or small, large please was our reply.When we opened our order we saw average size fish (glad we didn't order small) and a scarce amount of chips.The batter was greasy but worse the fish was dry and chewy as if it had died of old age. We paid top price for very poor quality but will never do so again. We feel Marrigolds is trading on past glory but there are now many better Fish & Chip shops on the Wirral. You

Some couples and some single customers. And this continuedWe were still waiting outside. At no point was anyone else asked to wait outside and just stood in the premises .When we first went in no one was even inside..So it was myself and my two disabled chaps asked to leave When we got our food we sat on a bench to eat...and during all that time no one else was told to queue outside..So... just because someone is less able...dont treat them differently.

Fish and chips were poor by any standards. Soggy batter and fish probably past its best. Chips were just warm (we ate them straight away sitting on the bench outside shop).

We have had fish and chips from here on a number of occasions. Last time we had fish and chips it wasn’t as good as previous visits. However, we thought we would try it again. The haddock was tasteless and I did not finish it. We had a takeaway, and went to the beach to eat the fish and chips. Shame most of the fish went in the bin. We had to get back home therefore did not have time to go back to the shop to tell them how disappointed we were. If you just want chips. No problem visit here.

As part of an order for two people, I ordered a large portion of chips, which comes in a tray with a lid. This supposedly ‘large’ portion was only level with the sides of the tray, and only covered about three quarters of it. As this was a takeaway it wasn’t discovered until I got home otherwise would have demanded more. For a large portion this was absolutely unacceptable and a complete if off. Nice food, but check what you’re getting in the shop otherwise you may be somewhat surprised.

Firstly, the premises are set out well to ensure social distancing. I felt very comfortable queuing for our order with clear place markers.Secondly, I am confused why the menus says there is a choice of haddock, cod or plaice, but to be told “today’s fish is cod when ordering haddock”Unfortunately, the food was incredibly disappointing. The batter on both our pieces of fish was oily and soggy. I’ve never had fish that was so tough and chewy. The curry sauce was also bland and poor.Perhaps we visited on an off day?

Lovely fish & chip meal take away, lovely view of the estuary whilst eating them. Had a good system of queuing and ordering in place. Perfect size portion & good value for money £5.99 for fish chip & peas meal. Worth the wait.

We said we would just look for a chippy with a queue. So we went to marigolds. Sensible covid19 system. Quick polite service.The chips were crispy and golden and fish just perfect. We had small f&c but my son had the large...they had to break it in half to fit in box!!!The packaging was all paper based.Really delicious thank you I will be back. Only thing I'd say is contactless payment has to be the only way.

Visited here before a walk and ordered 2 small fish and chips, one being gluten free. Staff were very helpful with other allergy info and nothing seemed like too much trouble, they even offered gluten free vinegar!

We're regular visitors here, and because we were very careful during lockdown, we hadn't enjoyed their delicious chips in over four months. We went yesterday and can't recommend them highly enough. Clean, well organised, good advice and information. There was a wait in an orderly queue, but we'll worth it, and the chips lived up to our expectations! We'll be back soon.

They didn’t put a fish portion in our bag but instead the person after. They opened it outside, gave it back. When we came back to ask for it, they gave me the same piece! So it was cold and mangled up. This happened in COVID times. I’d find somewhere else next time.

Absolute kudos to the Marigold today (in West Kirby). We had elderly friends arriving (expats from Cyprus stuck in the UK since lockdown) to see us (socially distanced of course) before flying home in the next week. I rang the Marigold to prebook our pickup, but was told I'd have to have a home delivery. I explained it would be a surprise to our friends (they thought it was just a trip to the beach for fish and chips. From Hereford!) and I had arranged with their son that they would "accidentally" bump into us down the prom. So the Marigold delivery van met us in the Morrisons car park with 6 lots of fish and chips/mushy peas/curry sauce etc - and they had thrown in a bottle of coke, 6 tumblers and a bottle of chip vinegar because they wanted to "help make it special". I can't thank the Marigold staff enough. Our friends were delighted, the fish and chips were fabulous (they don't get them like that in North Cyprus!) and a lovely afternoon was had. Very thoughtful staff indeed. Thank you Marigolds - I hope you see this! Xxxx

The worst and I mean the worst fish and chips I've ever had, furious that I spent my money on it as I might as well ripped it up. I asked for lots of salt and vinegar and they put zero on rendering it utterly tasteless except for the taste of cold grease. The chips were cold and the fish was disgustingly greasy. Like the oil wasn't hot enough. Horrible food and a rip off.

Visited Friday 29th May. Very busy but social distancing adhered to, with spacing etc marked out within the shop. The fish and chips were great but unfortunately no contactless payment being accepted, cash payments only, which is strange at the moment. To add to this the person serving was taking cash, giving change and handing over the food / wooden forks to people. This is poor giving the Covid risk. I would avoid for the time being if you feel at risk.

We have eaten here a few times as we live on the same road. We kept saying that "We will give it another chance" and the last time we visited was Sunday. We ordered 2 small fish and chips, also some battered halloumi. The fish, chips and peas just tasted really bland. Usually if you have a great fish and chips you can taste the quality of the white fish and a great crispy batter, we didn't really get any of that and the chips were a little undercooked and soggy. Halloumi was ok. Last time for us eating here but we wish all the best for all local businesses.

Always fresh chips and fresh large fish to eat, with tea or coffee. This place is never empty, always plenty of people to come and eat in or take away

We live locally and decided to try Marigold for our evening meal last night. We waited 15 minutes in a queue for the fish to be cooked. There were 2 options a small or large fish. We opted for the small which was just that v small. We finally got our food took it home to find the small fish piping hot and the chips cold and soggy. We won’t be back an expensive poor experience.

Being Coeliac I often crave chip shop fish and chips...I found these guys on line and made the trip from New Brighton. I was not disappointed. Lovely chunky fish with a light, tasty and crispy batter. Mushy peas were so fresh and chips perfect.Owners were so friendly and really aware of cross contamination.I will definitely be back.

Visited with my wife today and had the large fish and chip dinner including mushy peas and two teas. The meal was excellent especially the cod which was so fresh and delicious. One of the best portion of cod we have experienced for some time. The service was very friendly and efficient and we were asked if everything was to our satisfaction. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to Marigolds if you want top quality fish and chips. We will certainly be returning for another portion soon !

The fish and chips are really good, but the service from the staff is great. A friendly team and you can eat in or take away so it suits all needs. I particularly like the attention they are paying to being as eco-friendly as possible as I noticed they have been awarded a Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free award.

First time I have ordered fish and chips so didn’t even know what size to order. The staff were very helpful. I wanted gluten free so had to wait for it to cook. The restaurant was very busy and looks very popular.

Had a very good fish & chip luncheon at Marigolds, not only is the food excellent, the staff are very attentive, not too much though, but aware of you. Not a complaint but next time must get less chips, had large fish and large chips, too much for an old 'un. Not into soft drinks but a beer goes down well with lunch!! Many thanks till next time.

Food was ok, chips weren't the best I've had. They also forgot my friends chips and so we had to ring up and get them to deliver them again. Luckily she ate her burger whilst she was waiting.

If recently started using Marigold for home delivery , meals arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. All delivered hot, not connected but all packaging appeared to be recyclable. So on all accounts I happy to order another home delivery.

This is my local fish and chip shop but my first visit. Ate in. Great freshly cooked served by friendly professional staff. Value for money. Nice decor and surroundings. I was asked if I was enjoying my meal and was offered more hot water for my pot of tea. And this is a “chippie”!
