Mermaid Fish Bar in Barnet

Normally really like the food. Fish is very good but today the chips were hard. Couldn't eat most of them.

Their gluten free battered fish was fantastic!! My daughter is celiac and they freshly prepared a fish in gluten free batter and cooked it in their dedicated gluten free fryer. Gluten free chips were also specially cooked in their own gluten free fryer too!! Highly recommend!!

This is one of the top chippies around in my opinion. I got a battered sausage and chips, the portion of chips was extremely generous, and the battered sausage was cooked fresh. The couple that run it are extremely friendly, and I had a nice chat with them; they mentioned they even do gluten-free batter and matzo meal if you request it. I will definitely come back to try the fish. Top notch plaice!

The taste of the best fish and chips we can experience in this shop is wonderful

Always good. Try the chicken shish kebab

Chips not fresh More batter than fish inside it. Very poor

the chips were at least a day old--brown and hard--the sausage was just ok--disappointing big let down when it's a weekend treat minus 00 rating

The chips are so tasty, always fresh and warm. Definitely one of the best chip shops in Finchley.

The chips are delicious and so much is added in one portion and perfectly cooked and extremely tasty

The owner ripped me of for a medium meat and chips with a canned drink for £9 The total should have cost £7.20 but he charged me more because he did not have his digital menu screen working and pulled a fast one. Then I was served used chips from the night before all de did was shove them in an oven to heat them that is not fresh Keep away from this chip shop.

I always ordered on Uber eats and their food has always been delicious. It’s the first time I’ve been in to the shop and met the staff and they are the loveliest people. Fish and chips is amazing would definitely recommend

Great people and great fish and chips

The staff are very polite and offer great food. I would highly recommend Mermaid Fish Bar!

Consistently the best fish and chips I've had in the area. I can't believe how light and crispy the batter is even after delivery time. Chips also great and the curry sauce is also the best.

Best Fish and chips in Finchley. Always fresh and the portions are satisfying

I've been going there for 9 years, super friendly and good portions 🤗

The owner of this business has a terrible attitude and is very rude, no people skills- I would never go here again.

Friendly people and good sized portions

The owner is super rude, very rude treatment. I do not recommend this place to anyone

I don't recommend this place to anyone simply because the owner is rude and uneducated. Doesn't prioritize, doesn't treat well, and is super rude to drivers. Don't waste your time in this place where the owner has no education.

Food was quiet good. But very expensive

Best chippy in finchley, happy to walk past Poseidon and the Olympus

BEST fish and chips. I had a party and ordered 65 small boxes of fish and chips! The food was amazing, all came hot, exactly on time and all the guests raved how good it was! Would highly recommend and the owners are lovely!

Delicious and very well priced fish and chips. The gluten free fish batter was incredible and I was so impressed that they offered gluten free chips too. 100% recommend!

Had fish and chips here twice from here, the fish is cooked to perfection, the chips however on both occasions were over cooked, crunchy and had alot of crispy scraps in the paper it was given.

A fish and chip shop that serves up frozen oven chips! Very disappointing and frankly unpleasant to eat. Please return to cooking proper chips because I could have cooked these myself without leaving home.

This is the best fish and chip shop in Finchley. Very friendly people and most important is the fish fresh and they are very delicious. They freshly fry the fish and chips so finish crispy. Every visit brings happiness to our family.

This is one of my favourite chip shops down London!! Being a Northerner, my ‘fish n chip’ standards are high!!! This family run business really cuts it. They remember their customers and treat them like friends!! It’s a pleasure and a comfort to go there!!

Lovely friendly people. Old skol service. Good food. .

Very nice local fish n Chip shop on long lane. I've only ever ordered the fish and chips and they're always delicious. They freshly fry the fish and chips and have a lovely crisp finish. Price is very good. These guys are definitely the best in the area now.

Amazing food, ordered online many times but popped in as passing,old school place and what a nice guy running the place

Replying to your message Just to clarify, my name is Dorina and not Dorian I have 3 colleagues in the office and all coul hear you shouting at me. You were talking over me whithout any inclination to listen to what I was saying. All in one, we are extremely dissapointed on the product and customer serice you are offering. Dear Dorian I’m sorry for your bad experience as I have explained to you on the phone very politely and I have fried your fish and chips I have put two chunky fish and fresh batter the diver was waiting for 12 minutes if you wanted your fish more crispy you should make note .happy new year and wish you the best

Lovely little fish & chip shop, the owner was very friendly & the food was great.

Nice establishment.Good customer service. Lovely food...nice and fresh. Well recommended. Thank you. Linda 😊👍

The best fish and chips in Finchley by a long way. The fish and chips are always perfect. I won’t go anywhere else locally for fish and chips. Generous portions as well and still very good value.

Me and my boyfriend came here to pick up some food about 2 years ago, the owners of the shop were Iranian and didn’t realise my boyfriend was also Iranian and the man who works there was was saying rude things about me to his girl colleague in their language. My boyfriend translated to me when we got back home and i was astonished. The people who run this chip shop are not very nice people at all and i do not recommend giving money to people like this as they are most likely bad-talking you behind your back in their language because that is how shallow of people they are. Also their food is not very good so save your money for a better place with nicer owners.

Nice little fish and chips shop with reasonable prices

Lovely staff and wonderful food. Chips are good and fresh

Refried chips and micro oven pies. Will not be returning.

The cod was massive and cooked fresh. Incredibly great pricing and the people in there so friendly and helpful. The donor kebab was cooked to perfection, a bit crispy just how I asked for it. Would highly recommend for food and service

Easily the best fish n’ chips around. Great quality and great prices

Best chippy in London and there curry sauce is fantastic 👌 😋

Below par cod and stale, tough chips. Will not be going there again.

Popped in for some chips and was not disappointed. Perfectly cooked, lovely and crispy plus great value for the portion size.

The staff are friendly and I bought a large cod and chips. The portion of chips was large but the chips were very dry, overcooked or fried twice very unpleasant. The batter on the cod was rock hard, had to remove it and eat the fish. I will not be going back but if your reading this try for yourself as you may have a better experience.

Very friendly massive portion tastes great what more could you want 👍

Recently moved into the area and wanted to try out my local chippy. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and very reasonably prices. 10/10 would recommend

Best fish and chips in NW london, beats local competition hands down. Sparkling clean shop, doesn’t smell fishy or oily. Fish and chips cooked in front of you, so tasty my kids ask for it every week! Super fresh, large portions, perfect batter on fish and chips that hit the spot, all served with friendly smiles and chat always professional. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. 5*

Very lovely customer service, the owners like to get to know their customers and have a chat whilst waiting which is nice. Food is great, quick service. Am happy to go there whenever I need to.

Really tasty large cod and chips. Only not full 5 stars as chips were greasy to the touch but still tasted delicious and the curry sauce was absolutely spot on.

The mermaid fish bar is definitely the best fish & chips going! They also do gluten free fish & chips which tastes incredible. Very fresh food and very clean. The staff are so lovely super service! I 100% recommend. Thank you

Mermaid Fish Bar is by far the BEST fish and chips i have had. The service is second to none and they are always so happy and friendly. I would 100% recommend without hesitation!

Fantastic service, everything is cooked fresh. Thank you Colin Rosenheim

very good kebab, I ordered a kebab from this place for the first time and it turned out to be delicious, this restaurant will be a permanent fixture in my orders if I want a kebab

Easily one of the best fish and chip shops I've ever been to. The food is so tasty every time I go 👍

Excellent large cod is LARGE and chips medium cold feed 2 people and service is great and very clean shop staff are eager to help

I ordered meat and chips from this place and I legitimately feel like I might throw up. The chips were hard and full of oil and the meat did not taste fresh at all. One of the worst meals I've had this year.

Best fish and chips around here!!!

Tasty food and lovely staff , one of the best fish and chips resturant in north london 👌👌

Fresh, good portion and fantastic taste

My husband & l travel from East London E6 all the way to this establishment N3 once a week to buy our Fish and Chips. Their service & food is of a very high quality!!! If you want an excellent Fish & Chips you have to try this place!!! I have rated them as 5 Star 🌟

Got my order via Just Eat. Delivered promptly. Ordered Large Cod and medium chips. Portions were LARGE. Best I’ve had for a long time. Will order again.

I had the most delicious fish and chips. The owner cooked the fish while we waited and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Gave us free chips to try & they were AMAZING!!!! Will definitely come here again.

This is a great family buisness, amazing tasting food, great prices and fast delivery, working all hours to make sure if your hungry you can get your order in, very polite, friendly and homely.. Will also get our fish n chips and Kebabs from Here..

Big portions.. yummy.. Will buy again..

The best crinkle cut chips in Finchley! Very friendly customer service, love it!

Nice fresh fish and great customer service

Great! Lovely, friendly and chatty owners and delicious fish and chips.

A wonderful local fish & chip takeaway. Brilliant friendly service and fabulous quality food. Highly recommend!

The BEST fish and chips in London. Cooked fresh to order. Amazing customer service to boot. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

To the owner of the restaurant this is my email to just eat over the order tonight I love ordering from from you food is lovely. Please anyone who reads this the food is great just dont use just eat to order 5 Stars for this restaurant i wish to Express my absolute disappointment that i have received from just eat tonight. I placed an order online through the app with the mermaid fish bar. My concern is not with the restaurant as i have always lovely food from here. My upset is more with just eat itself. I waited over an hour for the order to which i made contact with just eat. i was told to wait a further 15 mins in which i did. I made contact with the restaurant and the poor owner was beside himself with how long the order was taking to be delivered waiting for a driver on your part to collect the food. The poor man was so upset that he was going to deliver our food free and bring it himself. I am disgusted how just eat have made the restaurant owner feel this way and think that he deserves an apology Whilst i got my refund i cannot get the thought of that poor restaurant owner out of my head feeling so upset and how hecwas made to feel that way as he had no control over the situation. My issue is with just eat and whilst i spoke to someone on chat it just feels very generic and robotic no empathy for thr situation which happened. I do not wish for any black marks to go against the restaurant as i love the food from there but feel Just eat need to apologise to the restaurant for making the owner so stressed out and upset i genuinely felt his pain. i would like a response from this email. it makes me think twice ever ording from just eat again. regards julietta. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

The details on Deliveroo and UberEats is wrong- If you try and order a cod, it doubles the price!! JustEat seems to work OK.

Really great. Very tasty. Delivery was quick, even on a Friday evening. Maybe the best fish as chips we’ve had in London. Curry sauce was definitely the best. 😃

I could tell straight away that the quality of the fish and chips was poor...batter was thick, oily, undercooked and firmer than rubber...totally indedible. Also, the aftertaste on the crinkle style chips was not pleasant...I suspect the oil has not been changed. Really worth paying the extra few pounds and going to an establishment on the high st that cares about what they do. Very sad.

Our local chippy and honestly the best chippy I've been to. The food is delicious and comes in nice big portions. Could not recommend them enough. And they're super friendly too.

Awesome service and veggie options

Very friendly staff, excellent quality in food and price

Delicious Fish and Chips. Freshly cooked (best to phone ahead and collect) and friendly service. I will be back !

Good fish and chips. Friendly people.

A big shout out to mermaids. This is best fish and chippy you will find in the whole of Barnet. The owners prides himself in providing the only the freshest fish and chips - you may have to wait a bit (unless you call him in advance) but the food is definitely worth it. The portions are huge and the menu is wide ranging to kebabs and chicken wings. The owners are such lovely hard working friendly people, pay him a visit....you will love the food!

My local fish and chips shop best food

Used to go every now and again but not anymore got very angry and ordered something for £4.50 went to pay by card and relosed just after they charged me an extra 50p as under £5 which is illegal. So been actively avoiding it since.

Excellent chicken and chips, the owners are always smiling and they have brilliant customer service and we go there every Friday because the food there tastes amazing.

friendly staff, good quality service

I go there for the fish & chips. Always freshly cooked and just amazing. Friendly service too. Please try!

Food wasn't hot stingy on the chips

Very near to me. Fresh fried. Good price and large portions.

Good selection of fish, with kebabs and fried chicken for the non fish eaters. Friendly couple who run the place. Nice local

Crispy and nice fish and chips (had the cod). Mermaid only loses a star because the bottles could use a soak (granted, it was after midday rush). Owned by lovely, welcoming couple.

Really tasty fish and chips and lovely owners.

Family own fish shop. Alway so nice and inviting. Massive portions, and the fish is perfect (was eaten before we could snap it).

Fantastic food all cooked fresh to order. Lovely friendly people

Rubbish food Chicken wings were smiley probably very old and oily Diner kebab very oily thick not done properly very low quality food People look for a better place waste time and money really disappointed

Good fish and chips with friendly helpful service.

Excellent Cod, freshly cooked chips! Best in the area.

Good food and very lovely people

Tasty and generous portion fish and chips. Tried shish kebab too, not bad. Will go again.

Friendly staff and food tastes great
