Marlow Bottom Fish Bar in Wycombe

It was lunch time and I was with my mate and I asked for a sausage because I couldn’t afford chips and they gave me and my friend both free chips I would defo recommend this

Went to this chip shop asked if they could cook one portion of my chips a little bit extra, was blatantly told NO. I have never been anywhere before where all 4 staff were so miserable. Chips under cooked and soggy batter on my fish. I should have walked out when they said NO Seriously need to up their game on customer service

We ordered 4 large cod and 2 chips plus mushy peas…. The fish were freshly cooked and still crispy when we got them home…. There were plenty of chips for 4 people and we liked the mushy peas… overall a good takeaway…. We will be back, it is worth the trip to Marlow Bottom even though we live close to Marlow town….

Fish and dry and chewy. Female member of staff obviously didn’t want to be there, rude Won’t return. Sort your staff out!

I am very partial to fish and chips shops. Quite a good one. Large portions, the big fish is very big. Even the regular chips are very big and important point not frozen ones. Good value for money. The most important, the taste, very fresh cod, crispy batter. Members of the family took the scampi, also very good. No doubt, I will come back.

Best there is in the Marlow area but still trading on the previous owners copious awards. Surly young staff who act like they’re godlike really doesn’t do them any favours. Portion sizes quite good, great chips.

First F & C for 2 years It was Brilliant, because of all the restictions and issues etc I decided to download the app, place order & paid, givemn a time of 6.18 to collect walked in the door it was there waiting, staff efficient, 2 regular cod which were huge, large chips which would have fed a family of 4/5, mushy peas & Curry sauce less then £20 it was fresh tasty more then ample highly recommended,

Ordered 2 haddock, 1 regular cod and large chips. The cod is tiny and should have thrown back. For £25 I expected better. The regular cod was £5.10. Poor value.

Oysters used to be the best fish and chips in the Marlow area but the fish that I had recently was dry and unappetising. Shame it's gone 9ff

We have lived in Marlow/Marlow Bottom for many years and have seen this fish and chip shop go through many ups and downs. Our last experience was so bad we wrote to complain but had no reply which was very disappointing. I'm hoping that writing this review might encourage the owners to improve. We ordered two pieces of fish with small chips and a sausage for a family of 3 at about 7pm on 24th June. The chips were inedible - they had either been sitting keeping warm for many hours or had been refried. They were completely dried up with a mixture of powdery bits and rock hard bits. The fish was so greasy not even my very unfussy husband could eat it and my fish tasted like it was off which is hard to believe with something that was presumably cooked from frozen. I really hope this was a blip but it was very disappointing, particularly not to receive a reply or apology from a local company we have supported over so many years.

Our ordering etc on the app was absolutely fine, no problem at all. When I arrived I did not know what to do as it was my first visit but 2nd time for the food , people were just standing out side and no one behind the counter took any notice. It was only when a young man came out to give a lady her order that he asked if I'd ordered and did I have a order no. He was polite went and picked my order up and I returned home. We plated out meal up and went to eat. The fish cake was like a piece of cardboard, the fish had a soggy bottom though my daughter found it to be ok on the whole the veggie burger was dry and as for the chips!! Dry hard loads of bits of potatoes not at all pleasant. We will not be returning but will try the one in Marlow because quite frankly it cannot be as bad as this one.

Oysters has done a great job since the lockdown with their new app for online ordering and measures for social distancing. Really surprised by the harsh reviews below. We have used their app 3-4 times in recent months and have found the system to work really well. Most importantly we have started ordering their fried haddock which has been delicious! Great work Oysters, can’t be easy but you have done a great job. Shout out to Niamh who has served us a couple of times politely and efficiently and with a smile 😊

We visited on a busy Friday evening. I waited in the car while my young daughter went in to order. She stood at the till for a few minutes while the 3 staff behind the counter totally ignored her. She asked the patrons waiting by the door if they had ordered, as she obviously didn’t want to push in front of those already waiting, they confirmed they had all ordered. She waited some more and was still totally ignored by the serving staff. So after waiting some more, she then came out to the car after 10 minutes and told me she’d been completely ignored and asked me to go in and order. So I went in and it was obviously quite busy being a Friday evening. I realised there were 2 groups of customers (although it wasn’t immediately obvious). Those that had been served were waiting by the door and those waiting to be served were snaking around the shop in a queue. My daughter hadn’t realised this as she’d never been in here before. Surely rather than completely ignore her, all it would have taken was for one of the serving staff to ask my daughter to join the queue of people along the wall. It wasn’t an obvious queue because both groups of people (those queuing and those who’d already been served) were all merging into one! Surely the staff can’t assume that everyone who enters the premises is a regular customer and knows the protocol. A little bit of customer service goes a long way! It doesn’t matter how good your food may or may not be, that’s not what you’ll be remembered for.....

We’ve been going here for years, through all the different owners it’s had, because it’s always been the best fish & chip shop in the Marlow area. Sadly, since it’s become the Oyster Fish Bar it’s started to go down hill, it’s now very expensive and the portions are smaller. Unfortunately, the last time we used them was such a disaster, we’ve vowed never to go there again. We ordered and paid on the app and my elderly father went to collect it (it’s a 7 mile round trip), no problems there. However, when he got back home we found that they’d forgotten to put some of the order in, so he had to go all the way back to get the rest of it. Unfortunately, the food was of very low quality, which was a surprise as prior to this it’s always been consistently excellent. The haddock that we paid £6.00 for was smaller than a child’s portion, it was tiny. The regular cod was full of bones (prior to this they’ve always filleted the cod so you’d never find any bones in it at all) and my mother only ate a little bit of her plaice and threw it away because it wasn’t cooked properly (once again, unusual because the plaice is normally cooked to perfection). We couldn’t understand why it was so awful but my father said that when he went to collect it all the staff were young kids working in there. He also said they were trying to fill two orders at the same time and had the bags next to each other, which is probably why we didn’t get some of our order because the other person did). My advice to the owners is if you’re going to employ young staff because you think it’s cheaper, at least have the decency to train them properly so they maintain the high standard this business has always been known for. Also if you’re going to try and fill multiple orders at the same time, please try and do it correctly ...... missing orders, badly cooked/prepared food, tiny portions and inflated prices just drive long term customers away ........

We don't often have fish and chips and although we have lived in MB for over 30 years we have had spates of going to the Fish Bar through the years but the quality we found was intermittent. But having gone there 4 times over the last few weeks they seemed to have found a new lease of life ! We had plaice and chips which we had to wait a short time to be cooked - which we expected - but when we got home the meal was delicious. The fish was really fresh, beautiful batter and nice chips so highly recommended.

We ate here for the first time on Saturday lunchtime. The food was really good. The fish was huge! Chips and scampi cooked to perfection and the mushy peas were fab too. We will definitely be returning.

Fresh and nicely cooked fish , must try ! Probably one of the best fish and chips I have ever tried . Worth to try Well done

We pre-ordered 50 meals and had them delivered to a venue for a football end of season party. The choices were perfect, the portions were excellent, the food was hot and delivered right on time. Communication was first class from the initial order all the way through to the final delivery. The individual boxed meals were just right. Would highly recommend.

Very Good Fish Bar but outside Marlow. Unfortunately there is a poor chip shop in Marlow that has stopped any one setting up a good one in the town centre.

The fish is very good and freshly cooked about the best in this area. However there is usually a wait so it is best to order in advance

Best fish and chips ever! Crisp batter succulent fish and chips to die for!!! Would have taken a photo but I wolfed it down!

My husband went out at 9.15pm to get fish and chips for our late tea. We have always had good food from you so saw no reason to visit. When he arrived the staff reluctantly cooked the fish for him after saying they were closing in 15 minutes, threw in an extra battered sausage as they didn’t want to cook a jumbo one and the chips had clearly sat for a while as they were hard just to add to the experience our gherkins were missing from the bag and we were over charged. Not a great experience!

I don’t go very often, but the staff and the name of the place seems to change every time I go back! So this time? Very good, great batter, nice piece of cod and good chips - quality potatoes. Recommended

I help a quiz night to fundraise for a charity Im involved in. Me and my family get takeaways from this chippy a lot and it’s always fast service, large portions and delicious food. Someone recommended them as a caterer for my event.Unfortunately due to low staffing, the food couldn’t be delivered to the venue as only one person in the chippy could drive and that was the chef. However, this must be a good sign as they are so in demand. I decided to get a friend to leave the event to drive to pick up the 60 boxes and bring them back, which actually all worked out fine.Everyone at the event loved the food as it was delicious, the boxes were recyclable and overall I would definitely use their services again and would recommend them to other people aswell.

Been using this chippie over the 15 years. Consistently good. Can be busy as you would expect but worth the wait.

We were thrilled at the efficiency and perfection of this incredible business. We were catering for over 70 people for our wine circle event and they did us proud. Fabulously tasty hot food in three choices was delivered bang on time. Terrific team. This was a fund raiser for Riley Park Trust. Sorry no photos of the food buts lots of a fun evening enhanced by the lovely supper.

The fish was wonderful. Moist with a crispy batter. The chips were fried just right. Lovely staff and a very reasonable price. I will be going again.

Good Fish and Chips... were visiting friends and they recommended MBFB... what a delight... lightly battered cod and excellent chips...the shop was also modern looking and clean... shame we don't have one like this where i live....

Hora de que la verdad es que conseguimos un vinagre que de hecho puede probar en la salsa de curry y patatas fritas, nunca calienta suficiente y en recipientes pequeños, así que cuando uno les pide que calentar más, la salsa se seca. Personal amable, pero un poco viejo chico dithery. . Parece lo suficientemente limpia y es mejor que el otro pero que marlow chips no es buena

We picked up four portions of cod and chips for £29 the other night from four cheerful people behind the fish bar at OYSTERS. We rushed the food home (chips need to be hot and fresh - something even fancy restaurants overlook.)

Over a number of years this chippy has always been good, first visit for some months on an Early Saturday evening Cod and chips for two, all well cooked, portions excellent, very tasty what more could you want a good start to Saturday evening they have a great menu

Nuestra primera experiencia de un pescado y patatas fritas en inglés en la zona de marlow y tienda como australianos nos pareció que el servicio de atención al cliente era ciertamente buena, así como las patatas fritas, pero como de costumbre para nosotros nos pareció otro pescado Inglés y experiencia donde el pescado chips era sólo con aceite. Y molesto que no podíamos pedir pescado a la parrilla, todo era frito. El bateador que. uso din EL REINO UNIDO también no es el mismo. Cambiar el bateador. a la versión australiana mejoraría la calidad del pescado y mejorar sus ventas - ESPERO UN más cambios frecuentes de aceite o un tipo diferente será beneficioso. . Recomiendo encarecidamente hacer propietarios investigar cómo un pastel de patata según receta Victoria Australia, estos son muy populares y bien vendido como un rápido tema de bocadillos. En Victoria y añadiría sims fritos y hervidos dim al menú como también son muy populares. Sería muy sorprendido si no vendían más de estos de salchichas

Gracias al Fondo de bar de pescado para Marlow proporcionando 125 peces muy reciente, calientes y patatas fritas para nuestro concurso de noche el pasado fin de semana. Había un montón de comentarios positivos en la noche y gracias por brindar a todos ellos a nosotros. Mismo tiempo el próximo año? ! Gill cesto en nombre de Amigos de Borlase Hockey

Que está atareado en aquí, pero la comida es siempre fresca. El personal es agradable y está impecable. Intenté hace años pingüinos, pero este está a la vuelta de la esquina, así que a menos que se va cuesta abajo puedo ver me he ir a ningún otro lugar.

Un pez realmente de primera calidad y chips. Pescado recién hecha, así que tendrá que esperar cinco minutos, pero vale la pena.

Have visited a few times,having recently moved to the area.Have noticed the large chips can be a bit hit on miss on size depending on how busy or who sreves you. The food itself is fine but would just like uniformity of sizes.

This is the best place for Fish and chips for miles. Really fresh, great service and fantastic prices too.

Excellent chips and pie served in a clean environment , however the vinegar is one which smells great but absolutely no flavour ? and curry sauce was only served in small containers? The smaller Curry sauce can be remedied by buying two , but the vinegar lets down the meal.

With the friendly staff serving and good value for tasty fish and chips, no wonder it is often rather busy. There are also other fast food items on offer too but the cod and chips has to be the highlight.

Loverly great sized portions, award winning chippy with a queue always at the weekend. A true gem in the Marlow area!

Often come here for a quick fish and chip meal. Food always tasty, friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble for Gav, the owner.

Really like the MBFB - the regular portions are really big, especially the chips. Nothing better than hot freshly fried salty chips. The good thing is that this place is busy, so the chips are regularly fried and are fresh. Seriously, one regular portion is enough for two normal/ regular people as the portions are huge. Their fish is pretty good. Not a great fan of thick batter (everyone has their own preference) but it's all good. Recent change in their curry sauce - darker, thicker and a little spicier, plus less lumps. Thumbs up to the MBFB.

Beautiful Snow White cod in a Chrispy batter, thick well cooked chips. Can't fault them. Keep going back.

You will never be disappointed, great place, friendly staff and great service. The fish is so well cooked and the chips are better than Rick Stein's in Cornwall!....the queue is always out the door which shows what a great place it is so it is well worth the drive to Marlow Bottom to get a Friday night treat. Love this place!

Called in Friday evening to pick up food for my husband, myself & grandchildren. The place was packed but everyone was cheerfully queuing and the staff were working so hard! Lots of humour being exchanged! Delicious food enjoyed by us all! Can't wait until the next time!

We have been buying our Fish & Chips here for a couple of years and have never been disappointed. It's normally busy, always a good sign and the staff are always friendly. Portions are huge, even for our big appetites and the price for the portion size is very good.

I made a special trip on the day they served GF, having checked the week before and signs all over the walls re GF days. So I arrive (after a long journey on my way home) to be told they had stopped the GF. WHY did no one tell me the week before when I asked! Won't be able to tell you if it is any good and of course won't be back.If you want GF go to Frackle Fryers in Flackwell Heath - really great!

haven't been here for a while, because the last time I was here, I didn't have a great take away. Having said that, this time around I was very impressed with the food. As per usual there was a big queue on Friday evening. I ordered large cod and chips. couldn't fault it, and will be back

Great Fish & Chip shop, been going there for over 5 years now and the regular staff are great... didnt like the young lady they had there for a while... but shes not there now. Can get busy so I normally ring in with my order as you have to wait for the Haddock but its never been a let down. Other Fish and Chip shops that i try seem to disappoint now....

Good fish, large helpings of chips (would recommend you share a serving of chips for two people) - can't go wrong at this place for takeaway when in need of home grown fish and chips.

Batter soggy in middle, fish tasteless. Can take ages to get served if don't mention what fish you want as you go in. It's ok just doesn't light my world

Fish was OK, but too greasy for me, it soaked the paper. The chips weren't in the least bit crispy. I like a chip with a little bit of a crisp outer, but these were just soft and slimy. It seemed like it hadn't been drained for long enough so everything had an extra coating of oil.I have been before and it wasn't any better.

Regular visits to this excellent fish and chip shop. Food nicely cooked and good range of food, staff are friendly and efficient. ( make sure you order large size cod as you join queue )

We love the Marlow Bottom Fish Bar. It's easily the best chippie round here and is great value. They even have gluten free nights! Long may it reign.

Recently won the best chip award and even though I am not a great fish & chip fan this is the place to go particularly on a Friday evening. Staff are polite and cheerful and the shop is effortlessly clean. Great chips with generous portions and really good cod (but there are pies, sausages that my dog loves!, chicken and more. It's worth a visit!!

We have been getting our fish and chips from here ever since we moved to the area and was surprised not to see it on Tripadvisor. We have always had good service and the portions are more than you can cope with and tasty.
