MARIGOLDS in Wirral

Incredible staff, even more incredible food. 10/10, best chippy in the Wirral.

Best fish and chips around tbf costs few quid but what doesn't a.

Probably the best fish and chips across both Liverpool and the Wirral. No dining in option but most people would go and eat it on the beach anyway or at home

Marigolds is a wonderful chippy with friendly staff. Just shared a large haddock and chips at the marina ., food as always was lovely. Thanks again Marigolds.

We had lovely fish and chips and also pineapple fritters and the food is always lovely. That cost us about £13.50 and its really great value as the amount of food you get is more than enough for 2 people. The staff are always polite and treat there customers with respect. Highly recommended 👌

Nice Chip Shop but i got told to go in the Queue it was the First time ive been make the Sign Larger So people know to go in the Queue.

Lovely fresh well cooked proper fish and chips- perfect for tea after a day on the beach :)

Absolutely scrumptious fish and chips

Really excellent fish and chips, cooked to order, which is the way I like them, Friendly helpful staff.

Amazing Gluten Free Fish and Chips!

I was so surprised, took my girls for end of term treat, but worst chips and curry sauce I've had. It used to be amazing! What happened?

1x sausage dinner, 1x fish &chips £19.80 absolutely a rip off never returning. The two meals was most peas to cover up the lack of chips. Daylight robbery basically.

One of the best fish we've had, but pricey but great. Service not too fast but caters to special dietary requirements, which meant the woman in front of us took a while.

Probably the most tasty fish I've ever had. Chips were gorgeous and none of it was greasy. Curry sauce was lovely although my wife was less keen because it tasted of ginger (I think) and she doesn't like ginger. I thought it was a belter though. Only thing that could be improved is that there is no seating inside (the owner said they're trying to remove the pictures that look like they do have seating). Highly recommended

Travel a round 20 miles to this chip shop. The food is lovely, and I've never been disappointed.

Beautiful crispy gluten free fish and chips as well as other options. Available any day it's open, a rare find. Close to front to enjoy with the views.

Excellent Food 6 years ago, visited today and the quality has definitely gone down, will give it another shot when next in the area but definitely disappointed

I was recommended to try this place. It didn’t disappoint. Only ordered Fish & Chips but not as a meal deal. Couldn’t fault the taste, they were spot on. I was quickly served and no issues with waiting. Will definitely go back again the next time I’m in West Kirby.

Food is great, highly recommended and the service is always with a smile and friendly

Went to this shop because my wife wanted a small fish with chips, no one else was in the shop, also walked past the shop later in the day, still no one in the shop, but then I'm not surprised considering how very expensive it was, and how poor quality the food was, safe to say we won't be going back.

Food ok when not busy and they drain oil properly. Otherwise too greasy and soggy

After a pleasant day out on the Wirral, I was looking forward to visiting Marigolds in West Kirby. However, it didn't go as I had hoped. I was given fish from the range that was already cooked, and I had no idea how long it had been there or how long it might have remained there, as I was the only shop customer at the time. The batter was greasy, and the fish was dry and overly firm, making it quite unpalatable. The chips were pale, lifeless, and greasy. The chicken nuggets were also greasy and overly firm, which was unfortunate given that the chicken itself was meaty. The potato scallops had a greasy, tough batter, and the potato was too dry. The mushy peas, however, were good. The shop appeared clean and tidy, and the staff were friendly.

Had a nice chippy tea here. Really needed after a nice walk and the service was top notch.

I got a large fish meal with mushy peas and it was divine, just what I needed after a walk to Hilbre Islands!! 10/10 would recommend.

No option to done inside anymore Quite expensive but cost of living has gone up so hard to. Judge Not a Chinese chippy so only basic options

Overcharged and not even cod or haddock. 1 x large fish & chips, 1 large fish, 2x mushy peas = £18 (pricing from website) + 1 can of coke £25!!! Think we were charged for somebody else’s meal. Fish very poor, peas were best part of the meal but 100% we were overcharged 😡 In response to reply below our meal was last night -28th and the fish was grey and did not appear to be haddock. I still think £25 for 2 fish, 1 chips, 2 x peas and a can is very expensive as had the same meal with extra portion of chips last week in Prestatyn for just £21 and fish was white and flaky like it should be. As we live 40 minutes away it’s not easy to come back in to speak to you but we won’t waste the petrol to return. As for you comment as to ‘not sure where I got my information from’ it was your website.

Really great fresh fish and chips. The curry sauce was great too.

Very crispy fish and delicious chips with heavy amount of mushy pea really made my day! Enjoyable experience, highly recommend

Great fish, chios were a little underdone but they were craazzzzzy busy

Very poor service from the staff member with Red Bandana, very aggressive and unprofessional

Cash only and the staff are very rude and come across very dodgy

Excellent clean service Amazing food

Went here today ...and got cone chips. Amazing chips ...... highly recommend x

We used to love this place but the portion sizes have reduced, and the food is not as good. Ordered a fish dinner with curry sauce. They have changed the way they serve it and now pour the curry over the chips and place the fish on top. Result of course was soggy chips and soggy batter under the fish. The curry wasn't that nice tasting a little bitter and the chips that had escaped the curry were chewy. Not great I'm afraid.

Very nice fish n chips freshly cooked ,large portion 👌

Unfortunately we were disappointed with our fish.

Please bring back the fruity curry , Mongolian curry was not nice . When you bring fruity curry back I will be back .

Hands down one of the best chippy I've been to. Everything cooked to perfection 👌

Lovely gluten free fish and chips cooked to order

Spam fritter review... Sadly wanted this to be a good spam fritter as its close to home, sadly though one thing a spam fritter needs is actual spam. If you are going to advertise spam fritters then use actual spam. Thin, round, very soft meat with an odd smoky taste, not too greasy. 2/10. On the plus side chips are very nice. Very long serving time. The hunt for the perfect (actual) spam fritter continues.....

Fantastic service! We had a huge order for our school trip. We ordered in advance and everything came out on time, with all food labelled for each each member of staff and child. Both children and staff really enjoyed the food. Thank you so much from St Paul’s Utkinton CE Primary ⭐️

Cash only at the counter. Long wait (20 minutes) for fish as everything was cooked to order even though this was lunchtime and the shop was busy. That said the food was excellent and I would go there again. £10.50 for large fish and chips in a container. They also do gluten free battered fish. Best to order as soon as you go in and mind your head on the display screen by the counter.

Too expensive, portions tiny, Owner going to respond with usual Sarcasm Yawnnn dont go!

Yesterday I had a fantastic fresh fish which I saw cooked from fresh… heaven thank you 🙏🏼

Great fish and chips served by friendly staff. Great shame that you can't sit in any more.

Favourite gluten free fish and chips I've had in the UK!

I think, this is the best fish and chips I've ever had, since in the UK for 3 months. Because the Fish is not just salty, but also milky. So, it does not depend on the flour, but the fish itself is tasty. Plus, the hot curry is crazy delicious. A European and Indian blend, it perfectly works! They made it with heart. Here, you have to do the take away, they don't provide dine in seats. But, that's not a big deal, once u step out of the store, there're some seats that help you eat fish and chips while getting wondered by the old town of West Kirby in front of you. Mesmerizing.

Always good food highly recommended

First time here and found the staff friendly,food was nice even though it was only chip baps

Ordered through Deliveroo. Had a large fish meal. Bit into my fish and got a mouthful of fish bones. Bit grim that tbh. Food was decent otherwise…

Great fish and chips from marigolds, we were recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint.👍👍

Disappointed. Many years since iv been to marigolds and it was the best of the best then. Not so much now. Dry fish. Soggy batter. Chips that looked and tasted like been cooked an hour before we picked up. So disappointed. Only nice thing was the scampi.

Delicious fresh fish the chips are wonderful , a long train in the evening - means something Worth recommending I'll be back

Great chips !! Best eaten whilst sitting along the beautiful seafront on a gorgeous sunny Sunday.

Yet again marigolds lives up to its brilliant reputation, food was delicious,again. Thanks guys.

Ignore all the bad reviews they haven’t got a clue about decent quality fish and chips! I’ve Been coming to this place since it first opened all them years ago and it has always been top quality! The Fish is fresh and cooked to order and the batter is tasty as well! Won’t go anywhere eles!

Great fish and chips but can get very busy. Especially on Good Friday!

Waited 20 mins to get served which was ok cause town was very busy. A long wait but thought at least it will be freshly cooked. Chips were like rubber and fish over cooked. Very disappointed considering good reviews

This has been a perfect show for me. I have loved the welcoming, warm atmosphere. See you soon!

Not super bad at all but the chips had been sat in the fryer for ages which was a shame.

Best chippy on the Wirral for fish & chips

Wonderful service and really accommodating of allergies. Food enjoyed by all.

Some of the best fish and chips I've had in a long time and reasonably priced

Not as good as used to be. I'm a bit disappointed

Delicious fish and chips. Thick and moist fish with thin crispy batter. The chips (fries) was good, but a bit too soft to my liking. Good value for the price. Two large fish and chips, and one box of 8 scampis fed 3 adults and 2 kids full.  I'd not recommend the scampis though.  Some were not fully cooked and too tiny. I could only taste the thick batter, not the scampis. Also, not a good place to get salad, which lettuce was not fresh. This 5 stars is only for the fish and chips. Don't forget to buy ketchup and tartar sauces. They are not included!  Long 30 minutes line up when I went there at late dinner time, but no line up at early lunch time. Good service.

My second time in West Kirby and The Marigolds. I order Large Fish and Chip meal with gravy sauce. Absolutely satisfied 😄 The fish is as the name says, it’s large and reasonable with the price, and the battle is perfect, not greasy and goes well with the fish. The gravy sauce is also amazing, honestly I don’t really enjoy fish and chip with gravy, but I must say the gravy here is brilliant: thick and delicious. It’s so good that I can finish its whole cup. If I visit West Kirby again, I will surely come back 😄

Fantastic traditional fish and chips - taste amazing. But be aware they don't take card payments so you need cash - which is crazy! Can be long queues as so popular.

Favourite chippy but prices have gone up.

Agreeing with the previous reviewer, chewy, flavourless chips, but the owners response was astounding! Instead of accepting customers are always right, he's rude and arrogant. He needs to visit his higher starred competitors to judge and learn some humbleness. Shop has the air of a large chain, unfriendly.

Hi there, we visited here with high expectations after the many good reviews. Where do I start, the price was way to expensive for the quality of the dish. The fish didn't taste fresh it was dry and definitely not sucliant. The chips were chewy and lacking any texture. The more I think about it the more I feel ill. Overall extremely disappointed and won't be back.

Have eaten here many times and every order have been really nice. Plenty of options available and great food on the go. Was a little sad that the seating area has gone.

Decent chips, and fish was nice and white and fresh. Batter was slightly oily but otherwise good.

Great take away... Lovely batter on the fish🐠🐟👌

My favourite fish and chips on the Wirral. Lots of vegetarian options too.

Very nice fish and chips and good menu choices

Awaiting a new card payment system the signs suggest but went 2 weeks ago and paid card but had to Deliveroo order this time from outside. Slightly annoying. Food as delicious as ever. Felt ordering through Deliveroo the gravy/curry portions came in pots so was smaller. When we were able to pay card and order at the till, the gravy and curry was over the dinner and seemed more! Buttered bun was dry to eat! That was the only food issue. Maybe this could be attributed to the smaller portions of curry/gravy. Don’t know. Fish was fresh and well cooked.

My double cheeseburger was absolutely delicious. Thank you

Always was a great chip shop. Just sad to see that there wasn't any seating inside. Average food and really expensive. £6.99 for a fish.

Response to reply: Thank you very much for getting back to me so swiftly. I really appreciate it! Your apology means a lot and thank you for looking into my experience today. Marigold’s has always had such a wonderful reputation and the best fish and chips in West Kirby. That’s what made today even more disheartening, I have only ever had positive experiences at Marigolds. Regardless of today, I hope our visit in a couple of weeks time will rectify this disappointing experience today and I will be able to remove my review. Visited Marigolds today as part of a risk assessment I am doing to take my school class to the beach. I was absolutely flabbergasted by the lack of customer service at Marigolds. I asked to speak to the manager and I was told I would not be able to. The unprofessional cashier was very nonchalant and said no matter what time or day I would go to Marigolds, I would not be able to talk to the manager. Bizarre! My primary school class are visiting the beach for the first time and I had thought Marigolds would be the perfect place to celebrate their first trip to the beach. We are an SEN nurture base from a deprived area. The staff at Marigolds couldn’t have cared less! One of my class has Type 1 diabetes so I enquired with regards to counting the carbohydrate’s so he will be able to have insulin before eating at Marigolds. The staff were completely uninterested and had a real lack of care. The least inclusive place I have ever come across! I have visited Marigolds ever since I can remember but I’m not sure what has changed. Whether that be the management or staff. What used to be a friendly well loved local fish and chip shop has become a hostile place with complete lack of customer service and any sort of professionalism.

Excellent fresh cooked fish and chips. Great service from staff in a pristine restaurant.

So much wrong with dinner here tonight. The place only takes cash, very peculiar in 2023. Politely asked to get cash out but nearest cash machine was out of service. Ordered fish and chips, a dish that any fish and chip shop should get right? Unfortunately, the fish was taken from a large selection of pre cooked fish, which turned out to be soggy after driving less than 5 minutes down the road. The chips were rubbery and cold and the curry (mild) was full of thickener so came out like jelly. I’d recommend getting a card machine (you may have to pay a small fee but so much more convenient for all of your customers) and not stockpiling cooked fish. Lovely staff, but just a poor experience. I’ve not added a photo as it would be unfair to the team there.

Great food, cash only surprised me. Would benefit from being able to order and pay over the phone for those that live outside the delivery area. Staff polite and efficient service of food. Gluten free options available which is great

The staff are lovely and the food to go with it is great! Can’t recommend enough especially after coming 2 days in a row.

I love fish 'n' chips and the food that I had from Marigolds was up there with the very best! Delicious fish, solid chips and great curry sauce - as well as good value, great portion sizes and friendly service to boot!

Very busy on good Friday but queue moved steadily.friendly staff batter a bit tough but good portions

Cash only. Meal deal is very good value. Ordered 3 sausage, chips, and gravy with 3 drinks for under £17. Decent portions and the chips were lovely. Cash available from the NatWest next door. Very busy and not many places outside to sit.

I’ve noticed that the food quality is inconsistent and yesterday’s takeaway was not great. The two fish were very dry and chips were barely warm. The pie and gravy were good. I keep giving this place another try and hoping I will catch it on a good day.

Nice food, terrible customer service. The girl in question took our order wrong, then when this was highlighted, the response, in-between several 'eye rolls' to her colleagues, was "well I've done it now". Same girl also got previous customers order wrong, again being extremely unapologetic. Granted, the girl in question may have been having a bad day, but the likelihood is her attitude to people on a day to day basis absolutely stinks, and should be nowhere near any public facing role until she's mature enough to be able to admit her mistakes, and treat paying customers with the respect they deserve. **In response to owners comments, your assumptions are incorrect, there was no light made of anything, nor did I or the previous customer receive any apology. The one star reflects the overall experience I encountered and not the quality of the food. I am pleased that you will look into this, hopefully the training given will prevent this from occurring going forwards. I'm happy that others have left 5* reviews, and enjoyed their experience. I am providing feedback which will make sure you receive even more 5* reviews. **

Amazing food and service as always! Battered halloumi was so tasty!

Very good Fish and chips nicely cooked and great portion size

My No 1 fish n chip shop for 48 years-the Acropolis in Ormskirk- has just been knocked off by Marigolds in West Kirkby!!! Large fish n cup dinner c. 10 pounds got me massive piece of perfectly cooked cod, pot of more than enough mushy peas and similar pot of gravy plus perfectly cooked proper chips. They use super fresh fish cooked to order in Beautiful batter -very different - perfect, chips excellent.Highly recommend and hope to go again!!

A gluten free large fish chips and mushy peas is always a special treat. The fish is succulent and plentiful

Very disappointed this time ordered fish and chips unfortunately the fish was all batter I have had more fish in a fish finger!!!! Never again 👎

Great takeaway. Recommend the nuggets and chips!

Came here on Sunday afternoon and ordered fish and chips and sausage and chips. Unfortunately my fish was extremely dry and didn't taste like fish should taste!! Not sure if this was cod or haddock as I never got asked and can't see a menu on the wall. Hopefully it is a one off!! Used to love coming here when it was a eat-in cafe, sad that they had to change it!!

Visiting my cousin who is gluten free & the fish n chips were delicious plus they do a good salad

Ordered food and had card in hand, told cash only... Car parking was difficult so had to pass on food as didn't want a ticket whilst going to get cash...

We got gluten-free fish and chips for our coeliac daughters and whole breast chicken chunks for my son, all of which were delicious. If only I'd got the scampi for myself because it looked amazing!

An excellent chippy! Not many vegan options though.

Really delicious fish and chips; crispy batter, fresh fish and perfect chips. The owner of Marigold’s went out of his way to help us; a big thank you. Highly recommended!
