Mariners Plaice in Breckland

It's a great fish a d chip shop staff and owner are great always friendly yes MARINERS FISH AND CHIPS ALWAYS ....

It was OK but the chips were a bit disappointing and didn't have a lot nof choice

A cracking breakfast, just what I wanted this morning. First time visit for me, but I will be back to try their fish and chips, a local gem.

It's OK for takeawayl. Food good, but a large fish came in as medium, with large chips quite small portion. The prices are good, but I would rather pay slightly more for true size portions, as the value is missing. There are better fish bars in Dereham.

The food was lovely staff were friendly and polite I will be going again

Staff slow at getting food and drinks out reasonably priced clean and presentable

I didn't feel like a customer service had to wait a while for pre cooked chips I thought they was fresh

Fresh and delicious 😋 The best fish and chips in Dereham. Friendly service. It’s a shame it’s not on the high street as it must miss out on the business going elsewhere. Loads of dining space, too!

Was the best now must rank as the worst let’s start the order was cocked From the start yet it was only two bits of fish ordered the skinless cod was not only skinless but fishless and how possible I don’t know undercooked and as so small it could have hidden under 4-5 chips The rock salmon was the other extreme so overdone the batter was rock hard and tasteless . The girl serving left a lady waiting to take a mobile phone call and whilst serving my chips started a discussion with a lady who take it the boss. What a shame my advice don’t waste you money try the fish and chip pie near toftwood club

We visited today with my partner and friends, we I had been there before 2 years ago and the food was good then. First of all the tables were dirty which wasn't a good start, a staff member wiped the one we were on reluctantly but was still dirty. Then our meals came we couldn't believe our eyes!! The fish and chips had been reheated and looked and tasted awful, we couldn't attempt to eat it. We complained and got a partial refund. A shocking experience!!

Really good quality fish and chips !! Fish cooked perfectly and well tasty, the chips were made from new potatoes and they were absolutely spot on...👍👌

Nice chippy/daytime cafe, probably best prices in town

We had food from there which was terrible, Had a piece of chicken which was inedible, it was so dry you couldnt even bite into it. Sorry but what a waste of time and money.

No plaice or other customers in a chippy on a Friday night should have rung alarm bells. Instead we foolishly ordered three cod and one haddock with chips. When we got it home It was dreadful, the worst fish and chips I have ever had. We could not determine which was the haddock unless it was the completely dried out piece. All the fish was old and dry. I can only assume the business has changed hands as we have used this place several times in the past, and the quality was reasonable, though they made mistakes with our telephone orders on more than one occasion even then. I will never use this place again, and would advise anyone else to avoid it like the plague.

Was nice, had sausage and chips. Staff were friendly and polite.

Had a really tasty traditional breakfast here for a very reasonable price. Service was swift and staff were friendly and helpful. Planning on going back to try the fish and chips soon.

Disappointed no genuine battered crispy fish just fish from the freezer already battered and re cooked.Nice clean surroundings and good fast service

Great food, lovely people, would recommend a visit.

Cheerful service & well cooked food.

We enjoyed our Fish and chips and the staff were very friendly nice to sit in the chippy again

A regular visit for me, Friday fish & chips with my wife, kids and grandparents. Excellent quality fresh fish, cooked to perfection and served in generous portions. Pre order for takeaway and good Covid policy / distancing. Now open for seated meals from a good choice menu. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended, else I wouldn't be going back all the time. ❤️

Friendly staff and good portion sizes. Really tasty haddock and chips. Would highly recommend.

Due to the Covid thing it's best if you phone your order to collect, also they are only open Thurs, Fri, Sat at the moment, 1600 to 1930, Going to order in a few minutes..

4 times now I have travelled to dereham to get fish and chips at Mariners, each time before leaving home I have checked their web site and face book page to make sure they are open, each time on arrival they were closed, as I write they claim to be open but they are closed. What sort of business is to lazy to update customers with current closing and opening times. I won't be wasting petrol again I will take my custom elsewhere.

Friendly staff fresh food take away or eat in

Best fish and chips I have ever had,give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Tucked away, this family cafe is often overlooked. The cod is great and the chips are fried in dripping, so very tasty ! It's too good to miss. I order by phone and pick up to order.

Pre-ordered food, proper good size bit of fish and chips and gravy 😋

Good menu at great prices. Breakfast, lunch etc: quick service. Large choice, all cooked to order. The big breakfast cannot be beaten!

Best fish and chips in Dereham, staff always curtious and helpful. Well done Mariners.

Beautiful chips and pies also great breakfasts good place for the family.

Great food at great prices and friendly helpful service

Tasty fish freshly cooked whilst you wait, been using a competitor for the last few years which went down hill, 2nd visit here and happy so far, keep up the good work

Best place for fish and chips in town

just excellent, good food, staff friendly, cmfortable place to eat in on your own or with others. Would recommend their fish and chips as the best in Dereham. Beef dripping cooked. Just delicious! As its in a backstreet where the taxi rank is, the cafe gets missed out, but thoroughly recommend this place...

Best fish x chip in town .also lots on menu to eat in.

Best fish and chips in dereham.

Served up wrong order. Roast beef dinner was 2 thin slices of beef and roast potatoes were slightly on the hard side.

On my 4th visit now, the lovely Steph served me and Jamie (the expert fryer) cooked myself a beautiful bit of cod, the chips were fresh and tasted delicious. My fave restaurant in town :)

I have to say this is the best place for a meal I am always go here because they are always friendly staff and they know what I have to drink and i have to say the food is to highly standard

Me and my friends had a lovely fish and chips here last night, from my cod to my friends plaice it was cooked to perfection! My cod was juicy, thick n flaky, my friends plaice had this golden batter coat! Just yummy :) Carnt wait to go back.

I visited this fish and chip café, early evening, and very busy. We had a very short wait for what was a great meal: The plaice was exceptional and my mother’s cod also. The batter was light and the fish the tastiest I have ever had! Congratulations. Rita and Rhia were lovely to my 91 year old mum and the service second to none. We will come again.

Food not too bad but when I ordered a roast chicken dinner, I expected proper chicken, not two thin slices of processed chicken.

its ok, there are worse chippys. only went as grandad loves fish and chips and doesnt get out so its a treat. the woman was friendly, cafe full of either wheelchairs or shopping trolly bags

quick food and well cheap but i found a dark black hair in my bacon. not happy.

Great place,best fish n chips around

Chip portions seem a little smaller than usual, but still worth a visit

Great fish and chips and good service.

Excellent. Quick service. Reasonable prices..

There fish and chips are horrible never go there again

Best fish and chips in Dereham and excellent staff ☺

Mariners have long been a part of Dereham, but after a nasty fire in their old premises it was a while before they reopened and we like lots of others found a new place to go. However we decided to try here for lunch as January closed and we were not disappointed. It was lovely, well cooked, tasty and very reasonable. We ate in so also had bread and a mug of tea and left sure to return again soon.

Telephoned order in, for pick up at 6.45, ready on time The cod was cooked to perfection, and the chips were good as well. Have used for several years, and always good food and service.

Food was lovely and a great varied menu to select from.

Fish was very tasty and fresh. Batter was crispy. Cooked to order. Chips were good too.

Good value and very nice fish and chips

Great chips (beef dripping?) and lovely fresh cooked fish. Wide menu now for eating in, telephone ordering recommended to beat the queue for take out. A great sense of personal commitment from staff, marvellous value !

We had haddock and plaice and it was really lovely. It's excellent value. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Not very clean. Dismal decor and cheap food

great food nice stall and very helpfull

As we was around the dereham area just popped in as we wanted some fish & chips my wife had a small chips i went for the Seniors meal deal which was small fish chips +beans + a cup of tea absolutely loverly. Will come again.

Very good basic cafe food. Extensive menu not just fish and chips.

We were returning from Blakeney and were all quite hungry. Wetherspoons was packed and we couldn't get a table so we found Mariners place. It is a very traditional cafe which is clean and inviting. The staff were friendly and attentive too. The food was freshly cooked with good sized portions and we'll cooked. Most of us had the fish and chips with a large mug of tea. The fish was perfectly cooked with thin crispy batter. The chips were some of the best I had eaten which were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. What impressed me is that they were not greasy at all. The service was quick and the prices very reasonable. It was a Sunday afternoon so it was not that busy but I can highly recommend this cafe and will definitely visit again if we are in Dereham.

Great chips and excellent full English breakfast.

I always get my fish and chips from Big Fry and was on my way to do the same again, my wife said as we walked past Mariners, I wonder what theirs are like, unlike me I said well try them and went in. All I can say is what a pleasant surprise, firstly the lady who served us was friendly and very nice, Everything was cooked to order so it was a little slow but well worth it. The fish and chips were fabulous, delicious and so much bigger than Big Fry. I will now use Mariners as my regular, sorry Big Fry but no contest!!

Looking for somewhere for lunch where we could sit with the dog. We asked if it was ok to sit outside but wonderful staff insisted we bring her inside and provided her with water and food. They were so friendly and kind and the food we ourselves had couldnt be bettered for quality and value. A lovely welcoming experience. Thanks to the great staff.

Food was good quality and value. Staff were fantastically welcoming.we had our old dog with us and the lovely staff insisted we bring her inside and provided her with fresh water and food. A great experience

We love mariners, they always cater for our family of 5 and the staff are amazing with us and the childeren

Really good food and friendly staff

From the Market Square just go on the back road. It is a very inexpensive place and the fish is good. You can have it in: small. medium or large portions. I prefer to have it large. It is more tasty and soft. There is also a good selections of meat plate and desserts. Desserts are very generous portions and the owner who comes from Cyprus, is a very friendly man. If you like to have a chat he can entertain you but if you like to stay on your own he will not invade your space.

Popped in for breakfast which was tasty and good value with nice thick bacon. The ladies here were friendly and service efficient

Good basic meals at a great price staff always helpful.

Great value for money, fresh fish ,great batter ,chips,fantastic friendly staff ,they do roasts with all veg. And lots of other meals,great sweet menu,all in all a fantastic place to eat ,a lot of locals use Mariners Place

Excellent value for money and good service

Best fish and chips I've had this year

Best place to go allways friendly and good tasty food

Lovely food cooked to order and a very friendly atmosphere.

Excellent! Food was really good and the staff were super friendly! I was just there with my toddler and they didn't mind us staying a bit longer! They kept our good warm while my husband fed the our child! 👍🏽

Awesome place, relaxed atmosphere and quality food at a quality price

Great value, quick service and excellent quality. Full English comes with extra toast and coffee or tea. Certainly sets you up for the day.

Fantastic place to eat, good customer services, and friendly staff.

Always well cooked and generous portions.

Tucked away behind the cinema, but don't miss this great eating place if you are in the Dereham area. We bought fish & chips, but there are lots of other things on the menu. We did have a bit of a wait, BUT, the food was served freshly cooked and well worth the wait.

Always good, it's just a shame that they close so early. Would recommend the fish and chips from here

Wonderful and helpful staff quick service food taste great

A lady has asked me to write a review on her behalf. She said our Fish and Chips the Best in Dereham, Norfolk. Her name is: Sue Metcalfe

Walked into this place looking for breakfast. Waited 10 minutes in a short queue while the old gentleman took a long time to write each order, then proceed to make the coffee or tea before taking the next order. Walked out in the end - had no idea to how to process orders, let alone customer service!!

Ate here recently, what a mistake! The fish was full of bones and skin, totally inedible! Have eaten ere previously and it was ok, so can only assume that they are cutting back on the quality of their offering!

We really fancied some some proper Fish & Chips on a Friday night, and with the good reviews we decided to try this place, however we wish we didn't.

Would recommend for all the family lovely food good service and a great choice of food and drinks for all the family

First time visiting and it will be our last. Service was slow, the chip portions were tiny, the haddock was dry and the batter thin. I found a hair in my chips. My sons cottage pie was so dry it looked like it'd been microwaved to death and that was after finding out that although the menu says with mixed veg, chips and gravy you only get either or. A comma does not mean or. To be fair my husband had the cod and he said that was lovely. Our desserts were a mixed result, the melting chocolate pudding was lovely but it's hard to get those wrong. My sons waffle however was flat as a pancake hard to cut with a tiny scoop of ice cream and blob of sauce.

This place sells some of the best fish and chips in the area.

Service really great and we didn't have to wait too long, fish and chips were delicious and batter was lovely, crunchy and really fresh. Restaurant clean and welcoming.

Had a really great all day breakfast today. The food was cooked just right and the cafe is clean and tidy. The service was spot on as always. Great food, great service and great value! Well done

We were disappointed when a fire in an adjacent building caused Mariners to close quite some time ago. It has now reopened in Quebec Street. The fish is always freshly cooked and very good.

Really nice food from this place. As always, would have been nicer to have eaten in the chips would have tasted fresher but was still lovely

At last I found a decent place for chips. By far the best in Dereham tucked away behind the cinema what surprised me is that it isn't busier. They do a cafe menu here as well. There is one downside though whilst I was eating I did get the feeling I was being watched by i assume some of the regulars and by I believe to be staff made me feel uncomfortable. I would come again but for a takeaway

Food was delicious and freshly made,childrens meals well worth the money.im not a great lover of fried fish but tried it anyway and it was so fresh and the batter was light and crispy.

This is a lovely place to sit and enjoy some of the best and tasty fish and Chips in Dereham. if we want a treat we often end up here. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they are very friendly. One of the best chippy's

Started visiting this venue on a regular basis now. Without a shadow of doubt The best fish and chips you could find in Norfolk. Very good decor and very very reasonably priced.
