Meriden Fish Bar & Charcoal Grill in Watford

Stale chips! that were overcooked or re-cooked/ refried! Not fresh! Rude staff were not bothered! Will never come back to these idiots!

I got a large plain donner kebab from yourselves the other day and although the kebab itself was delicious, the portion size was awful. It was more like a small - regular size, I’m happy I didn’t get salad as it could’ve been less. I think this would be a great business if only the portion sizes were more up to standard.

Staff are amazing here. Always go here for my take away treat food always amazing.

The food was wildly overrated. I am not quite sure how this place has been rated so highly. The chips were cold and the fish was too oily and not good quality. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

I’ve ordered gluten free fish & chips and I must say it was the best gluten free meal I have ever had!! Usually GF foods taste like cardboard but my fish was fresh, hot and crispy. I absolutely loved it. I will be coming back for more. Well done and thank you!

My Roger I went to fish chip mushy peas lemon drink my friend add same he did not have mushy peas the service was excellent we seat table inside park was bit of problem.

Freshly cook and friendly service

The location is dangerous due to people parking on the double yellow lines, i live 5 minutes away, when get my order and go home, the food is cold, even if i get it delivered its cold. seems like this place has gone down hill

Superb service and care shown when we called to let them know my son is coeliac after placing our Just Eat order. Excellent telephone manner, communication and level of care shown. The food was hot, freshly cooked and delivered quickly. Thank you 😊

First time in there, waited 15 mins before ordering. Food was ok but not great. Second time there waited 20 mins then left. I wouldn't mind if i wasn't the only person in the shop. More interested in just eat and delivaroo...

The ingredients are fresh and the boss is very friendly

The food is nice but I find it quite expensive

Really good lovely lamb kebab and the lamb was perfect it will be my new takeaway place and very friendly

Placed an order for delivery and I honestly thought they sent me a different order judging from the amount of food I received!!! Fish and chips,huge portion and 2pc of chicken that could feed a family of 4:))). Good food, good price,fast service!!

Quality food and service. Good amount of space inside if you wish to eat in too.

My first experience was very bad, but I am not going back to it as I left a review back then. I've been there a couple of times after as there are not many options close by and I decided to write the new review as I see a huge improvement. It seems like they started to care about people's dietary requirements and become more professional and aware of customers' needs. I do not feel anymore like I was a pain in... only because I want to know if my food is vegetarian. They now happily answer all questions and provide full dietary information. They even replaced some products with vegetarian options. It is really nice change and now it is pleasure to go there.

Very Taste Fish , And Owner Was Kind Enough To Throw In A Portion Of Chips On The House , Overall had an absolute amazing experience and very tasty food , i will 100% be back

Fast delivery, excellent food would recommended!

Welcoming staff with an amazing service provided. As an individual having to eat gluten free, its sometimes hard to be able to eat takeaway. However, with the help of staff, it was easier to maintain according to my diet plan. Amazing!!!

Best fish in the area for sure! also immaculate service

Best food & customer service in town! 🙌🏻

Food was amazing, workers were really nice I would give this restaurant a 10/10 and would 100% come back in the future.

Great business!!! Great hamburger, i've had a very nice meal with 6 and also the special one at 7.5 pounds, great deal!!! Friendly, clean and tidy! Thank you guys! 🤝👌👏

Extremaly rude staff, discriminate vegetarians. I wanted to order chips and curry, I requested to check curry ingredients to make sure it meets my requirements and I heard that they are TOO BUSY... no comments. I'm sorry that being customer there it is a problem.

Fresh and delicious food. Makes it better with a very warm and inviting atmosphere. Will definetly be going again for my chippy needs.

The guy is an absolute legend making GLUTEN FREE options for COELIACS. Options such as chips, sausages, onion rings, curry sauce, cod, and scampi are offered Thursday evening, all day Friday and Saturday. My first order from them today and they're so friendly and happy to explain things to you. We need more heroes like this that make living with chronic disease easier and buying food a much more positive experience. Thank you so much, we will be back!

Nice, cheerful service, nice food, very efficient.

Food was very nice and staff helpful and very polite.

Tried it. Excellent, I would go more often but need to watch what I eat.

Chips aren't great usually under cooked or chewy.

We came in at a super inconvenient time (like 10 minutes before they closed(sorry)) and they were super helpful and offered great suggestions when they didn't have something. And we got a free fish cake 🖤

Great food, always great service!

Very friendly staff, reasonable prices and excellent fish.

Good service, good quality, nice to see local friendly faces

Great fish and chips very freindly staff

Good bunch running this place. They'd had an accident in the kitchen just as I showed up with a complicated order; it took a while but they were very friendly and communicative. And the food was worth waiting for. Gluten free batter available some days and surprisingly good - a bit thicker and crunchier than normal, but good.

We went there following great reviews. And the reviews were wright. It definitely is a place to recommend!

Great sausage and chips at a reasonable price and if like free range eggs. There good for that as well.

Great Haddock with chips. Friendly staff offered a cup of tea while waiting for meal. I would definitely eat in their again.

Travelled especially to get gluten free fish and chips which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent food and service. Will be a returning customer!

Great family run business, even gave me FREE chips with my savaloy, customer service at its best, thank you sir.
