Food was gorgeous! We had fish and chips and sausage and chips with curry and mushy peas. Fish could have been a little hotter but over all was lovely and would recommend

Read the reviews, sadly not all of them..we were staying locally so drove over to Montgomery. Got fish n chips, sausage n chips and cheese pasty n chips and a pot of curry sauce and a tray of chips and chicken nuggets The serving staff gave us funny looks when we gave our order cos it was large. We love our chips, they were tasteless and undercooked. The sausage was bland. Mother in law liked her fish, my pasty was ok Not sure we'd go back again

We noticed the fish and chip shop by chance when driving through the village. Really impressed with the food. We had 2x fish and chips & 2x kids sausage and chips. The fish was ace, service was friendly and plenty of chips. I’m surprised in the negative reviews by others, ignore them & give it a go!

Walked out without purchasing..ordered two fish & chips & a tartare sauce.. Don’t sell tartare sauce at this fish & chip shop!! Offered to wait whilst fresh fish & chips were cooked….didn’t do that either. The off hand young man showed me the chips he was going to sell me, soggy, not very hot & looking tired & old..I asked if they were full price ( which is not competitive anyway) & yes they were full price.. the thought of the fish was too much to contemplate so I left.. Wake up Montgomery Fish Bar, you’re letting this beautiful town & yourselves down. Unacceptable & not to be recommended.

We were doing some work at home and could not be asked with cooking and thought we would try the local fish & chip shop for just chips [ to make chip butties ] not something we have very often but just fancied it The chips were not cooked enough really [ not golden & crispy ] like when I make them at home, had hardly any taste and were not that hot either, just really bland really, would not have again, which is a shame.

I was staying local with family and looked at the reviews which had me thinking I'd have to travel all the way to Welshpool to get decent fish and chips. I'm so glad I gave this place a chance, great fish and even better chips!

Me and my partner picked up a large chips with 2 large sausages from this chip shop, which to us is a local friendly environment but that’s where the compliments end unfortunately. The portion of chips wasn’t anywhere near enough for 2 people And at 3.50 just for the chips you can understand the frustration. We won’t be attending again would much rather the longer drive to Welshpool.

Tried the food a few times, it was always lacking and very expensive. The sausage are the worst I have ever ever tasted, mostly bread I would guess.

The chips were pale and slimy. They appeared to have some sort of synthetic coating on them, like a tasteless varnish. I suspect this is a product that has been developed so they can be reheated and still have some version of crunch, but they were just appalling, so oily and unpleasant. It’s a shame, because on the face of it this looks like a place that knows what it’s doing, and has a lovely position in the town, but if you’re going to have something so high calorie for a treat, you really want it to be good. This kind of food shouldn’t be hard, all it’s supposed to be is real whole food ingredients, freshly deep fried, put in paper, some salt and vinegar, that’s it. I hope they can sort it out.

Pale, under cooked chips. Expensive too. The food you usually expect from a chippy was just not there. It cant be that difficult to offer chips and a sausage. The sausage was tasteless. ad the chips were pale and soggy - this is the second and last time I will by food from this place.

One person in our group did have chicken and another a cheese and onion pasty, both said they were not very nice to say the least but I guess that’s what you get when you order something like that in a fish n chip shop

Took a friend to visit the castle. Planned to have lunch in one of the tea shops but they were full so decided last minute to opt for fish and chips. It was a lovely summers day so we ate them sitting on the grass in the castle grounds. The fish and chips were excellent as was the view making it one of the best impromptu picnics in a long while

having read the reviews we reluctantly tried the fish and chip shop in montgomery and we were very pleasantly suprised the large chips was more than enough for two and the meal of beef and onion pie chips and peas was on par with any other we have had over the years. Sunday night 6pm and the meal was lovely £8.40 all in.

Called in after visiting Monty's brewery as this is the only take away in town. Ordered fish and chips which I thought were being freshly prepared, but sadly not. The chips were lukewarm and fish very small and tasteless. The food looks and tastes as though it is standing for a long time and maybe there simply isn't the passing trade to justify opening at lunchtime.

been here a few years ago and while on holiday i popped back for mini fish and chips, and to say mini was absolutely correct, served on the smallest foam tray i've ever seen and the chips were warm but soggy and the fish was little more than a fish finger asked for salt and vinegar well he waved the pots over but don't think anything came out and all for the rip off price of £4.40 each as i had 2 portions for £8.80 i can get 3 bigger portions back home for £9.75 the lot.

Stopped off after finishing work at 2.15am. Food pre ordered by my wife on the app. Big mac and a mayo chicken burger. Both were Luke warm at best. Mayo chicken was very tough to eat and my wife threw most of it away. Big mac was 4 / 10. As this was 2.25am in the morning, shouldn't the food be freshly cooked? I really don't think it was. Very disappointed.

This McDonalds is disgusting, after the last time we said never again so our own fault really. Burgers are stone cold, chips undercooked. When asking the Manager "is it okay to ask for warm food?" he just scoffed "you can try". Absolute mayhem in there. Save yourself the bother and go over the road to Burger King.

Waited 10 minutes and my order didn’t appear on the collection screen.Went to the till and asked politely if they had an update on my order.The staff member said i had to pay again and that it hadn’t gone through.I showed both my receipt and my bank statement and the man refused to give me my food and was trying to get me to pay again.Had to argue for 15 minutes with the shift manager just to get my ice cream-such rude staff and waste of my time.

Absolutely terrible. On arrival we noticed how the hot counter was filled with food, all looking like they’d been cooked hours ago and yet we were the only customers in the shop at approximately 2pm. We decided to order 1x fish & chips and 1x sausage and chips. The chips were very pale in colour, so soggy that they were stuck together, warmish and clearly had been sitting there for quite a while. The sausage was nearly inedible, our daughter complained that it was very hard to chew and this again had clearly been cooked a while prior to our visit as it was dry. The fish was ok once it had been removed from the thick and soggy inside batter. Can honestly say it’s the worst chippy I’ve ever been to. We gave them the benefit of the doubt when we could see the chips being put in the tray but honestly, we should have cancelled our order and gone somewhere else. Don’t waste your money.
