Pearl Fish Bar in Welwyn Hatfield

Today i bought large cod and chips as I usually do and as ever it was cooked in good clean cooking oil served up by a very pleasant lady who clearly took pride in serving decent food. I must try a few other things on the menu. Call in and give pearl fish bar a try its well worth it for some decent takeaway food. I'll be back for more.

Great quality food and great friendly owners. Highly recommend!

I called at 8pm just to ask if they'll still be open around 8.30pm, as sometimes shops here shut early if there's no one around. They stayed open until my partner got there which was so sweet of them. The food was really good. Hit the craving, and my cats enjoyed the bit if cod they stole too 🤣

Very friendly service and best fish and chips around! Will definitely eat here again and would recommend ☺️

The food and the service was amazing! Especially the atmosphere of the restaurant. Just wow definitely need to go for a visit.

I didn't want fries and the woman told me to take more money, I don't recommend it

Quality quality fish, lovely couple

Best fish and chips ever. We travel 20 minutes to go there, it’s that good! 5 star plus ++++++

I’m one for supporting local businesses and I also actively patronise them… As part of my Saturday gastronomy hobby, I choose to visit a new café every weekend. Entering the Lotus was a 50:50 thing as it was deserted and looked almost abandoned. As a summary, I wasn’t impressed by the ambiance, the food was just average but the down side was the cleanliness and tidiness. I could see food droppings, cutlery and plastic bottle caps from last night (we hope). To cap it up, I suffered a rush to the loo barely 30 mins after dinning. Needless to say, I won’t be recommending this eatery or even thinking of returning. That’s all.

Beautiful family run chippy! I’ve tried many in the area and The Pearl Fish Bar is absolutely the best around. I am a regular on Fridays and they cook my fish fresh to perfection every time! You must try their haddock and their amazing curry sauce - 5 stars from me!

Just had chips from here and found them to be average (although travel a lot for my work and always pick chip shops with good reviews as I am fussy). Thanks Mark.

Not happy, chips brown, chicken fried too much and dry on the outside and greasy on inside, oil needs changing..wasted 20 quid gave it to the dog..should have gone to cuffley..

Outstanding quality food. A real gem.

Terrible queuing system, absolutely painful waiting while you see your order sat there resulting in food being cold. Sometimes chips are good. Sometimes not. If they’d only have a separate queue for collection it would have saved me half hour of my life even though I pre-ordered. There was only 3 people ahead of me 1 of which had also previously-ordered. This was at 5.30pm on a Friday. 3 staff and half hour wait.. not good at all. I understand it’s probably the way they’ve always done it and perhaps stubbornness prevents them changing to what every other restaurant does but seriously.. sort it out.

excellent quality phoned order in 30mins before so cut down wait

Been using this fish and chip shop for many years and its perfect.

Probably the best chip shop in the area. The people that work there won’t be recruited by Disney anytime soon. I thought I saw the Lady smile once but it was the sun glare. Don’t buy the chips once the store is open in the early evening as on occasions the chip taste like they were leftover from the lunchtime trade. However the chips when fresh are simply the best

The best fish and chips, even after moving still drive 20mins to go here and still warm when we get home. Always fresh food and friendly staff :)

The very best in the area. Beautiful quality fish, very generous portions. Staff friendly.

Very nice, cod and chips and a bottle of onion vinegar

Great fish and chips at reasonable prices the fish was excellent and so fresh

Great people and wonderful food. You don't find eyes in the chips and the fish is always cooked perfectly. Would recommend to anyone

Great quality and not greasy like a lot of fish places.

Ordered 2 x fish and chips over the phone and collected the next day .. we enjoyed our dinner ..what a treat thanks a million

Fish very fresh the chicken and ribs are also fantastic good value for money.

Lovely food, really nice people, good prices, just what you want from the chippy :-)

Lovely fish and chips. First time I tried it. Delicious. Friendly , efficient, dedicated staff. Will definitely go back again. Thank you.

Best chippy in Hertfordshire! Foods always freshly cooked and delicious.

We make sure the whole family enjoy their scrumptious Fish'n'chips. The staff are so careful preparing the food. I highly recomend this vernue.

Being northern I know how I like my chips and this place delivers every time. Golden and soft and fluffy and full of flavour I love them and travel 20 minutes to get chips from here that’s how good they are.

Great place, been coming here for years, since a child. Always great friendly service, tasty and sizeable portions! Long may it continue.

Very welcoming and hospitable with the best freshly made fish and chips to order. I have been visiting for a couples of years now and every time the food and service is exceptional. Keep up the good work 🤩

The very best fish & chips for miles around. Yiayia so lovely. Nick is fantastic. The very best service. Very busy so order ahead .

Despite pre-ordering still had to wait in line to get served. Fish was disappointing as batter was soggy and chips were hard. Not that great considering it's not cheap either.

Love it. Best fish with a few miles easily.

Fresh fish and nice chips have been using for the last year or so as they are local and I’m impressed on how nice the food is. Would highly recommend

Traditional fish and chip shop serving traditional quality portions at a realistic price. The couple that own the shop will make you laugh as they heckle each other with Banta and jokes. Lovely.

Never had a bad meal. Very good size portions and cooked to perfection. Friendly owners who have been there a long time. Probably best fish n chip shop around.

I will only get fish and chips from this place. Freshly cooked, clean oil, fresh succulent fish. Good value as you get what you pay for. Personally I always get matzo meal as I don’t like batter. As for the couple that own and run it, they are elderly and work incredibly long hours to make a living so if the guy isn’t always full of smiles he can be forgiven. Lovely lady, if you chat to her she’ll chat back. Don’t bother with anywhere else

The worse ever fish and chips I have ever had. I wouldn't recommend this family run fish and chips to anybody.

Have used all the fish n chip restaurants in the surrounding area, and whilst none are particularly bad, this one is particularly good. Always very good sized portions and cooked in the proper traditional way. Highly recommend.

There was a time when you could always get good fish and chips here whenever, whatever time you went. I've not been for a while as last two previous times it was not good, but thought I'd try again. The fish was dry and batter soggy and rubbery. It certainly wasn't freshly cooked and by the state of it had been sitting around. It wasn't cheap and a waste of money.

Best fish and chips ever! Love the Pearl

worth travelling to get your fish. Always fresh, hearty, the oil is never old, leaving no horrid after taste. Generous portions, family run for many years, a great reputation is everything

So friendly, delicious food and generous portions. Wholeheartedly recommended!

First class fish and chips never once let me down in the many years I've been having the pleasure of my takeaway, Keep up the great work Jimmy

Great fish and chips! Friendly staff offered my daighter a chip lolly too which she loved! (some chips on a chip stick) lol! Tasty fishcakes!

Having had fish and chips on holiday a few times this past month, I really appreciate how amazing the fish and chips are here. Nothing else compares. Don't look around just try here. Amazing fish and always fresh.

Friendly, great service and great fish and chips.

Can't fault the place. Great food, fish is the best around. A little more expensive than elsewhere but you get what you pay for.

This shop's fish is excellent but believe me you will be playing well over the average price for it. Personally I don't think it's worthy of the extra money. The proprietor is a very miserable sour-faced looking man who does nothing to draw in the customers. She's a very friendly lady.

Good fish and chips. Very nice staff and big portions. Impressive! Keep up the good fish and chips!!!

Always great service and amazing food would highly recommend. We drive from Welham green to get fish and chips from here

If I want fish & chips or chicken and chips this is the place I go to. Most fish is cooked to order so you will have to wait but you know it is lovely and fresh.

The food is excellent and the portions large. The fish is always fresh. The staff are friendly although it can get busy.

Yo vivo en un pueblo cercano y después de una visita a otra desastrosa chips empecé a mirar alrededor. Y chico, qué encontrar es este lugar. El personal es muy amable y la comida increíble, con pescado fresco, que se cocinan y patatas fritas encantador. Digo visitamos este lugar lo antes posible si quieres pescado y patatas fritas, la calidad es excelente.

Nice owners, fresh fish and...the best curry sauce ever! Lovely position in the Village, opposite the Co-op. Food is always first class.

It wasn't very nice at all ....won't be going there again

Great fish and chips in a nice location

One of the best fish and chip shops I've ever been too, staff are friendly, chatty and helpful and the food is cooked properly and is always warm and tasty.Can eat in also and there is a small number of table and chairs or you can just sit down as you wait for your food to be cooked. Price wise it's very reasonable and competitive.There is parking outside but not much of it so your relying on luck.

Food is always freshly cooked and tasty - served with a friendly smile. The haddock just melts in your mouth.

Lovely hard working family - serve yummy chips - I don't eat fish or meat but my husband loves their cod and their chicken. Good value food

No better way to celebrate Christmas Eve and to get ready for the night before Christmas. Lovely people excellent food.

On hols nearby and dropped in as wanted chips lol. Best fish and very fresh, Chips portion was huge. Not cheap but great taste! Shuts at 9.30 i believe.

Will only eat from here, freshly cooked, lovely owners who have been here for years. Nice & clean, would highly eecommend

Simple, go to this chippie because it is freshly made, best flavour and good size portions... The prices may seem a bit steep but well worth it.. Great curry sauce too, to dip your chips in... Enough said I think

Been eating from here for 15 years and love it. Lovely people, but importantly the fish is amazing. It's not the cheapest but the quality is top notch. No need to look else where.

Have tried several chippes around and this is the best, the fish is crispy and usually cooked to order, also crispy chips that are never greasy. Open lunchtimes and evenings! Service with a smile too. Been there years and always reliable :)

Never know how it is going to be . It's OK ,there is worse around and better . It used to be our favourite a few years ago but first of all the size went down ,then the batter became very salty and then we discovered they cook the fish and meat together which is a no no for us as we haven't eaten meat for 30 years ! So won't be returning !

I use this fish bar quite a lot abnd the food really is hit and miss. One day you get nice chips and the next you get soggy mess. Fish is always nice but very expensive
