Potter Fish bar and restaurant in North Norfolk

Very friendly and welcoming. Really tasty fish and delicious chips. Always the one we stop at for our fish and chips. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

Large portions and very tasty fish, chips and spring roll. The only thing that could improve the experience is a phone number so that the order could be made prior to arriving to shorten wait time. Shame no Skate. Highly recommended.

We arrived for our holiday on a Saturday and saw this chip shop on our way into the holiday park. The shop is small but the portion sizes are not, really nice fish and chips, cooked all fresh, delicious. We went back on Wednesday for more, again delicious. Would highly recommended.

This chip shop is the best They serve you with a smile & the food is delicious. I would highly recommend Even though you may have to wait approx 10 minutes it is so worth it. Everything is cooked fresh from the moment you order. The price is really good too considering it’s a hotspot tourist trap.

Fish was nice as were the battered sausages, chips were ok BUT what spoilt it was the wait. Half a dozen customers in front of us and took literally, and in not exaggerating an hour to get our order. Nippy where I'm from means fast and this was far from fast unfortunately. Not worth the hour wait.

Just had fish and chips from this place, it was delicious, fish was very tasty with crispy batter and flaky fish, chips were great too. Couldn’t fault it ,certainly worth the wait. Lady serving very happy and courteous.

Great takeaway fish and chips. Generous portions. Thank goodness this was open as all the other places nearby close early .

Very friendly service, fried cod and chips freshly cooked, and very reasonably priced. Worth the wait for it to be done.

Fantastic fish and chips, totally delicious. Fast friendly service. We loved watching the boats on the river by the bridge, very relaxing. Lots of parking. Highly recommend.

Have been going here for a long while now. Never have we had anything wrong with our food . Liam and Paige deserve every 5 star rating they get for turning such an awful chippy into the best chippy for miles. Well done and long may you continue..

Absolutely a disgrace how they charge nearly £3 for a small chips which is a handful and horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paige and Liam at Nippy Chippy certainly know how to fry great fish and chips. Lovely crispy batter and flaky fish. DELICIOUS. They also have a van which goes to various villages and caters at events too. We keep coming back because it's so good.

The very best fish and chips I have had! Haddock, perfectly cooked to order, in a lovely batter. The chips are delicious. Don't forget to have mushy peas, curry sauce and a gherkin too. Just walk over the bridge to Nippy Chippy and enjoy!

i visited Nippy Chippy in January .The staff are so friendly and polite.I ordered cod and chips,which was very good and very good value .I would definatly recommend.

Had great food from Nippy Chippy at Potter last night with the family. The fish ,sausages and chips were delicious . Great food and great staff throughly recommend

Stopped by for an impromptu take away dinner. Steak pie was in fact steak and kidney, which my husband doesn’t like. The chips tasted like they weren’t freshly cooked, I feel like they had been cooked earlier in the day or even the previous day. Sausage was cheap and nasty.

Called in last Friday 13th for tea. We had two large cod and mushy peas. I have to say probably the best cod we have ever had bar none, even better than Whitby's fish and chips and they take some beating. Keep up the standards well done to all the staff.

A real gem on the Norfolk Broads. Been coming to Potter Heigham for 35 years and the 'Nippy Chippy' served delicious traditional Fish and Chips . The Large Cod was fresh and beautifully flakey and the batter was light with a lovely flavour , just the right crispyness. The Chips were just as tasty . Service was very friendly and welcoming. We loved the boxes our food came in - perfect for having on your lap whilst watching the Boats go by. Can't reccomend highly enough . We like to think we are Fish and Chip Veteran's this was our 3rd Chip shop on holiday and the 'Nippy Chippy' knocked spots off the others. Certainly be returning 😊

Amazing fish and chips, in fact the best I’ve ever tasted. Would definitely recommend and great value for money compared to other establishments close by.

Having a week on the broads we'd decided before hand that we'd have 2 days relief from self catering. After reading recent reviews we thought that fish and chips from the nippy chippy on the broads would be one of those days. It didn't disappoint. Greeted by a cheery & breezy welcome despite the fact that they had issues with 2 of the friers and were operating with just the one. Due to this we were told our order would be in the region of a 10-15 minute wait. And to be fair that's around what it took. The fish & chips were spot on. Piping hot and generous sized portions. Nice light batter on the cod which just flaked away as it was cut into. The peas were really flavoursome too. Appeared to be very popular as there was a continuous stream of customers.

We called in while staying in Potter Heigham and we weren't disappointed! The lady serving was really polite and helpful - they removed the skin off our fish and cooked it fresh which was great. The chips were lovely and the portion was a good size for a reasonable price. The kids meals were a really good portion too. Really tasty fish and chips, we'd definitely recommend!

Excellent. Reasonably priced. Good portions. Friendly staff. Recommended. Parking is a bit of a problem but worth it !

What a pity. We had read the reviews and had expected fantastic fish and chips. Sadly the chips were overcooked dry and brown, and the fish batter was greasy soggy. My husband was generous giving them a c+. We will not go a second time.

Highly recommend. Was dubious of going as been previously. Glad we did! New owners doing a great job. Lovely fresh fish and best chips! Delicious. Well presented and reasonably priced. Went back for more on last day of holiday!

Eight of us ordered fish and chips from here for pickup. Dealt with this via email, efficient pleasant service, food nicely packaged, on time and lovely and hot. Standard of food excellent. Will visit again.

The worst fish and chips I've ever had. We went at 4:50 on Friday 8th June, 20 minutes after opening, thinking everything would be fresh. Chips brown and dry, obviously re-heated from another day. Fish had dry flash and batter dark brown, obviously also reheated....

Good value fish and chips. Nice people and swiftly served. Good portion sizes too, Will definitely use again.

Stopped for some lunch, we were told it was a very good Fish & chip take-away and it was. Very handy for people on Broads Cruisers as well, all you have to do is moor up nearby either side of Potter Heigham Bridge.

This village Chippy serves excellent quality fish and chips. Great value for money. The batter on the fish melted in the mouth. The quality and quantity of chips matched that of the large (sold as medium) cod fish. Staff warm and friendly. Well worth a...

Best F&C we’ve ever had, really great to have such a good place in PH. Fish tender and tasty, crispy batter, lovely chips, couldn’t be better

Went over the old bridge on foot and well worth the effort . Parking at Lathams is okay as long as you use the shop . Ordered Haddock and Plaice which were excellent as was the chips even in late november and thoroughly recommend

It is worth walking over the bridge to this chip shop. The quality of the food is really great and we had pleasant service.

So glad we walked over the bridge to Nippy Chippy. The fish and chips were fantastic. We wish the new ownwers every success. We will be back very soon to enjoy some more delicious food.

Just had a large cod and chips twice it was the best ever that I have had. I have had fish and chips in wroxham and just before the bridge but this is far the best ever due at Christmas time around 27 th December...

Best fish we’ve had in a long time, well cooked and nice size, text through and ready on time. Well done new owners

First visit under new management, the fish was well cooked and absolutely delicious , the chips were excellent and the portion size was very generous.

Would like to write a review but after deciding to have fish and chips on a lovely sunny August day, by the river bank we as a extended family group of eight was told the shop had run out of chips!! Not fish but chips...

Nippy Chippy We have been going to the Broads for quite a few years. This chip shop is under new Management. I highly recommend this shop wait times are short food is very good

On a warm summer evening there is nothing better than a nice portion of fish and chips and sitting by the river in the lovely village of Potter Heigham. The sausage and scampi were very nice too. Lovely food and good service.

Fish was totally tasteless, well apart from the greasy taste. Large portion of chips certainly was not large but glad in the end as all you could taste was grease. The battered sausages my daughter had were truly horrid - over cooked and inedible. So disappointed.

Family wanted fish and chips on last night on boat, so we decide to use the takeaway, only problem as we was low on cash, it would have been a card sale. But there machine was broken, and only reply wa sit bene broken for sometime. So we went to othe cafe/takeaway back across the bridge

We stopped here as it had a dog friendly area and looked nice. Service was a bit slow as it was busy but food was very good and fairly priced

Lovely fish and chips as always, have going for many year's now and always had a good meal. will be back soon

Ws passing bye see the chip ship open so got some chips they were loverly piping hot and fresly made staff were very friendly very reasnably priced will come bck again soon

Come here regularly and always love it! Had Takeaway cod and chips was lovely fresh and good crispy batter. Huge tray of chips and fish bigger than the tray itself. Lovely portion for £6.90. During the current circumstances had floor stickers in place for social distancing and a plastic screen by tills. While I was waiting for my food the lady behind counter wiped down the surfaces twice and somebody else went outside to clean door handles and tables and chairs. Would recommend

Was driving past fancied something to eat so we had Cheeseburger with chips and sausage & chips. They were the best we have tasted for ages! Wonderful friendly staff. The chip shop was very clean!

Read some of the reviews and wasn’t expecting much but gave it a go. Glad we did as the food was amazing best we have had. Fish was fresh and cooked in a nice crispy batter. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Me and my wife were out for the afternoon stroll. The chio shop was open so we grabbed some food. It was amazing. They have social distancing in place and whilst i was waiting for my food the lady behi d the counter cleaned down the counter twice and went out the front to clean the tables, chairs & door handles.

Arrived on a cold, wet evening and decided to eat in. We were the only ones in there which should have given us a clue to leave!! We ordered 2 x fish and chips with one slice of bread and butter and 1 x mushy peas . .. apparently run out of sliced bread (there’s a shop 50 yards away!). Tried to order a beer (it’s on the menu) and told they have no licence so we asked for a tea and a tap water instead.Toilets really grim with only one light working and filthy (if you know what I mean!). We left the peas which were only lukewarm, the chips were undercooked and barely warm ... then when the bill arrived we’d been charged £1.85 for tap water - it actually said ‘tap water’ so no mistaking it. Total bill £26 for cold food for two.No care or niceties, two women working there just spent the whole time chatting and we felt like an inconvenience.Avoid this place if you can ... pop to the shop a few doors down and cook yourself something instead. It’s bound to be an improvement.

Found this fish and chip shop by chance, ordered cod and chips for two IT WAS LOVELY best we’ve had in ages , well worth a visit really friendly staff as well.

We had a take away for a change & took it back to the yacht in pouring rain. Good value & good food. In the many years we've been there, I've never had a poor meal there so I'm surprised at some of the reviews.

The staff seem to detest the fact you are there. If you would rather not be scowled at then I would avoid like the plague. Food was okay.

This is the worst fish and chips I have ever had greasy soggy mess should have just walked out as the smell of the place was like walking into an old people’s home no idea what that was staff looked as if they didn’t want to be there.

Had some friends visit , so decided to take them out for a meal , we fancied trying somewhere different . ( wish we stuck to what we know ) .

Just passable if you are really hungry. Staff are not friendly. Ideal location and could do a roaring trade if the effort was put in

11 of us camping nearby, F&C; on the first night we pitch up.

Firstly got to complain about the woman serving, rude and abrupt. The chips were very greasy, which came as a bit of a shock as we walked past at lunch time and saw the food being served and it looked very different to the food we got. Wouldnt visit again or recommend to anyone

We had moored up and walked to Latham’s and looked for a handy lunch venue. This was it. Chips were a bit soggy compare to some chip shops but they were ok. Fish was nice, the kids liked the burgers and my brother liked the sausage.

Sat in the restaurant with a few friends after a nice walk along the broads. We all ordered cod and chips and presentation on the plate was great! Crispy golden batter and fish lovely and soft inside. Chips cooked fresh and crispy on the outside. Staff polite as anything and always ensured everything was up to par! Will definitely be visiting again!

After a ride around the coast on easter Saturday we stopped off here for some chips for our tea. Having been before we were looking forward to visiting again.However this time the chips were not great ,Luke warm with a taste that was unpleasant ! Maybe the oil was old or the potatoes were old but it has put us off visiting again.

Miserable staff... miserable fish and chips... only went there as the best chippy had just closed the kitchen over the bridge... avoid if you can and go to the Cafe on the North side.

Was in the restaurant for a meal with my friends very cosy and amazing service. Fish was cooked well and batter was nice and crispy, chips were soft and piping hot and on a Sunday the regular fish and chips are buy-one-get-one-free which made us even happier with the price.

Cannot understand why the management.serve such poor fish and chips batter is so thick and undercooked oil doesn't seem to be changed often

We stopped here this week as we were on a broads boat and fancied fish and chips, I agree they are very expensive but I guess it’s to be expected with a captive holiday audience, they were cooked fresh and were acceptable, not the best but certainly not the worst.

We chose to sit in the restaurant, 2 OAP meals and one normal. The fish and chips were delicious, hot and beautifully cooked. I can't recommend this enough. Service was first class.

Went here as weather little cloudy but fancied fish and chips . We went in there and the place was very busy . Always a good sign . we soon found a table and ordered quickly . our food came rather fast and was pipping hot . My wife had Cod and I had Haddock both with Chips . I had mushy peas and a pot of tea for two . We will be calling back there again next year . Not bad price either for the quality of food.

This is a lush place to eat! Ignore bad reviews! These people are false and want you to use other local businesses! Chips are always fresh! Staff are always friendly! We will be back again and again!!

I would advise anyone to avoid this place like the plague. Just cost £13 for 2 fish and chips..... Thrown it in the bin, absolutely disgusting

Food truly awful, greasy, floppy and devoid of taste, my Husband had almost finished his food, not being able to stomach the batter anymore, picked it off only to find that the fish was hard and black in places, we threw it away and prayed we would see the morning, bad fish + port a potty on a board = OMG. Thank God we didn't find out.

Just ordered 2 large chips and 2 large mushy peas. The person serving behind the counter was rude and had no customer service skills.

Over priced, small portions, rock with small bones and no large bone! Couldn’t eat it but the dog didn’t say no, thankfully won’t be going back. If you want excellent fish and chips or fried chicken/burgers at very good prices Go to Broadlands you won’t be disappointed only went here as Broadlands was closed

I read the recent reveiws and can't beleive it's the same place when ever I go there.

I cant really remember having a meal from a chippy that was really not nice. Usually varying degrees of nice. but this was not nice. Chips had a weird taste which seemed to be the fat. Fish batter too was a funny taste. Fish inside was ok but a bit skinny. Children's sausage overcooked. Staff were really nice and nowhere much else to eat in Potter Heigham at night so a real shame.

I don't beat around the bush when it comes to reviewing a restaurant and having walked into Potters Fish Bar as one of a group of seventeen I was pleasantly surprised we could all be seated. However, having sat down today to review this restaurant on TripAdviser I am shocked at its poor level of reviews. All of my party had excellent food from Home Made Chilli and a Curry through to excellent Burgers and a fantastic portion of Fish & Chips. Milkshakes flowed in abundance and the service was excellent. So don't know why folk have given Potters Fish Bar & Restaurant poor reviews in the past but I can thoroughly recommend this place......and it's got an arcade where the kids can loose themselves with a bag of 2p's.

Soggy chips, greasy sausage - service slow and rather miserable - AVOID!!! First visit for many years - the last forever ........

Have eaten here a few times and has been terrible, thought we would give it one last chance. We won’t ever eat here again, it’s shocking! Walk to the Falgate arms, you won’t be disappointed.

Didnt enjoy it at all fish was very wet inside batter and chips were definatley refried disappointed as pricey too - staff friendly though

Don't be put off by the adjoining amusement arcade; it was quiet when we visited for our dinner. The restaurant may look a bit cafe(ish) but the food and the table service is excellent

Love this chippy! Came back on holiday. Chips are as brilliant as always! Cooked from fresh every time!! Homemade chutney made too. Was totally outstanding!!

Popped in here for cod & chips whilst boating on the Broads, lovely piece of fish & good sized portion of chips, cooked well & not greasey at all.

Captive audience makes for complacency.

What a cosy little restaurant, hidden away behind the fish and chip shop, my partner and I popped in for tea and cake, I had a scone with jam and clotted cream, my partner had chocolate cake and we had a pot of tea for two. It was very reasonable and very well presented, I recommend this charming restaurant to everyone, we will most definitely visit again.

Blue plastic flower arrangements on the tables inside and the pervading smell of old chip fat / grease should have been warning enough. Not the best Norfolk has to offer as far as fish and chips go. Avoid.

Paramos aquí para conseguir la cena en el llevar de vacaciones familiares. La comida era todo típica variedad chips (aunque no inusualmente tartas caseras). Porciones de bacalao no eran tan grandes pero Skate era de buen tamaño y los niños estaban contentos con las salchichas....

Estos son los peores peces n Chips que he tenido. A la izquierda una grasienta y horrible gusto. Muy caro. 15 libras por 2 x 1 patatas pescado n parte de los guisantes. Nunca me alojaría allí de nuevo. 😯

Por eso, en un destino de vacaciones no sólo para comer el lugar cerca del río, donde más de una docena de barcos amarrar por la noche, cerrar a las 5. 30? Uno sólo puede suponer que han hecho lo suficiente durante el día para no molestar.

Lo que una comida fabulosa, y el personal es muy amable y profesional, especialmente el más grande que la vida. señora Qué placer para una comida estupenda

Chips a soft mush, anemic and white, absolutely dripping in oil. Terrible. Definitely not : hot, golden brown, dry, crispy on outside. Inedible.

Very small portions, with high prices. No vegetarian pies. Beware the children's meals, which seem to be even more expensive than the adult meals, and also very small in size. Left feeling hungry.

Really nice chippy! Friendly staff, great freshly cooked chips. Not too far from the moorings too! Would recommend to everyone!!

we decided as it was raining to eat in but there are no windows inside and if you like irish music great the food was ok but I wish it was a sunny day then we would have eating outside

We have never been disappointed with the fish and chips in this restaurant over the last 6 years of 3 or 4 visits per year but the quality of the fish at our last visit 8/5/17 was spectacular. The battered Skate was fresh, thick and large and the grilled Plaice was filleted perfectly and was also as thick as the Skate. Amazing value for money. Well done to those who source and cook the fish and we highly recommend the restaurant.

Came here for a meal with my family and boyfriend and we were greeted by a lovely lady in the restaurant who showed us to our table and gave us menus. Not only do they serve fish and chips, but also home cooked meals such as lasagne and cottages pies, burgers and gammon steaks! Between us we had cod, gammon, bangers and mash and a 3/4lb gutbuster burger which was huge! All food was cooked to perfection and lovely and hot. There is a good selection of desserts including puddings and cakes. We had homemade bread and butter pudding which again was lovely and chocolate oaties just like I had a school! We also noticed they offer a tea and cake deal for just £2.95 and will be coming back soon to try this! All staff were polite and friendly and couldn't have had better service!

I bought fish and chips from here while visiting family. Fish cooked fresh while waiting. Friendly staff great take away, looked like it also had a small restaurant to the side. Small parking area at the front but plenty of pay and display a short walk away over the bridge. I would think because of its close proximity to the river and boat yard it would be advantageous for boat users.

Sorry to have to write a bad review but I'm afraid the fish and chips were the worst I have tasted.I Would not consider myself to be a picky eater but I ordered Huss and chips and have never seen Huss like that before!!Quality was poor,batter a nasty texture and colour.Chips ... Bland.What a pity as we were looking forward to our fish supper!!

A quiet like chippy with back restaurant. Nice for family with a baby. Helpful lady working, nice food greasy as you expect for a chippy. Ok priced. Possibility for a little more option on dessert menu.

Popped in for a take a way sausage and chips on way home from a weekend away. Average tasting food all hot and fresh.

Popped in for takeaway, the new lady serving was very chatty and polite the guy cooking the food done a very nice job abit it was only battered burger and chips but as I say very nice.I'm like others I've been coming here for over 20 years on an off as I've been passing or fishing near by, and every time iv'e had food here iv'e always been happy, that's why I keep using it.But warning to any business owners who slack or drop their standards the customer will just drive by.

Nothing in the cabinets, have to order and wait for it to be coioked and then when you get it, dissapointment. Admitedly not the most expensive in the area but there are much better for not too much more money.

I've got yo say our visit was really good, fish and chips cooked to perfection, the sausages are of good quality, the staff were very polite and bubbly, and the restaurant is nice and clean, I'm a little puzzled about some of the bad reviews, I will return without hesitation
