Merchant Fish and Chips Shop Broughshane in Ballymena

Great chippy with decent service and lovely fish.

Fantastic fish and chips, friendly staff and very efficient

Best chips I've tasted in a long time. Very good value for money with the lunchtime specials. 100%

Great Food as expected from an award winning takeaway restaurant. When busy the fish could end up getting served quickly and be a lot greasier than other times. Portions are huge (for me) so single fish often comes with a few chips which is a nice touch and often enough! Best fish & chips in town non the less and worth the slightly higher price than others in the area!

Best takeaway in County Antrim.

Got a chicken fillet burger and bacon burger and French fried onions the burgers where cold and the French fried onions where burnt and I ask for the onion in the burger to be cooked there were raw poor Quality

Very good fish and chips. The introduction of a grease proof sheet of paper atop the chips on which the fish is placed has made all the difference. Was a really tasty meal ... for two of us. Recommend. Very busy which is always a good sign for a chippy (and it does way more than chips). And a great social venue as well as you get to catch up with half the country!

Had some fish and chips here last night while staying in Broughshane. Can see why it won an award. Fish/Chips/mushy peas and the scampi were all cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend this shop👍

Translate stuff and really lovely food

Get boxes of scraps best fish ever

Longest wait in the world, only wanted a bag of chips , 40 min wait , thought they had gone for more potatoes in a field , wasn’t busy either

Love it worth the drive out from Ballymena

Hands down best fish and chips I've had ! would highly recommend eating here, excellent work girls

Absolutely the best lovely fresh fish and chips, really well cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef .

I got the single fish instead as I can't handle big portion. Both the food and service were excellent. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

By far the best scampi in the town or surrounding areas. As fresh as it gets and the batter is perfect, thin and crispy on the inside and out. Chips are also10/10

You get a lot for your money. Very slow if it's busy even if you ring up.

Just had lunchtime special with workmate, food fantastic and service brilliant. Place is spotless and portion sizes superb. Will definitely be back and would thoroughly recommend this place.

Love this place great staff and food is brilliant.

I got fish from here and it was great but it's quite greasy. 🐠

The food was good, though the service was not acceptable. I called in a phone order at 6pm and was told it'd be 15-20 minutes. Arrived at 6.20pm and was made to wait another half an hour before I was served. During this time several people known to the staff called in and made walk-in orders to be served immediately with exactly the same meal my two year old and I were waiting for. I used to travel 20 minutes just to come to this place, but will be looking at other options in Broughshane in future.

Best fish ever and plenty of it.

Used to love this chippy Just been charged nearly 20 quid for 2 chicken goujons and chips Hardly any chicken the goujons were tiny and hardly any batter Won't be back

Fantastic staff are very friendly Food amazing have tried several items of the menu and none have disappointed.

Hi everyone, yesterday 04th June 2022 I was at this chippy as we where in Broughshane for the Jubalee celebrations, got 2 burgers, a cod and 1 sausage, while we where eating them I noticed a long black hair across the sausage and the few chips that where with it, it turned the stomach out of me, whilst in the chippy waiting, 3 young girls working there, the girl doing all the frying was neat and tidy wearing a white top with there logo on it, the other 2 WELL, one was scratching her head and did not wash her hands, and the one who wrapped up my food had long black hair, a white peak over her eyes, was not sunny in there, think the staff all need to wear hair nets, and be hygiene trained, we have been going to this chippy for years and have noticed it has been going down hill over the last couple of months, WILL NOT BE BACK.

Had a fish supper and onion rings today ,really disappointed with both.Very greasy and just a heap of batter very little fish or onions .I have eaten out of here many times and have recommended to many people.What has gone wrong 🤔😩????

Excellent Fish and Chips. Friendly service.

Fabulous food...Great service....Super People.... Quite rightly "Award Winning"....👍🤠🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I have been here a few times, and don`t see what all the fuss is about. They may well have won awards, but the food isn`t that great, chips tend to be very pale and fish portions are small. I like the smoked fish they have sometimes, but again you don`t very much. Bit expensive for what you get. They use small containers as well, so portions are fairly small to be honest. Just because there is a queue outside does not make it anything special.

I have enjoyed my fish and onions rings from The Merchant for a few years now. Its the best I've ever had. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is spotless clean. I don't eat takeaway often, but I'll always chose The Merchant.

Best fish supper I've had in years

Absolutely gorgeous fish, best in the area

Big portions, tasty food and easy to see why the award of best chippy 2021 was awarded. We will be back
