Rumbles Fish Bar in Suffolk Coastal

The fish and chips here used to be lovely but had some last week and was left very disappointed. The fish was nice but the batter was not cooked properly and whilst the outside was ok, the inside was raw batter mix. I also don’t know what has happened the chips. They are all different shapes and sizes and mostly chunky. They were not cooked properly so were soggy. Only managed to eat a third of my lunch that cost me £12.

Waited about an hour for chips and curry sauce, no apology given it’s just the expectation it seems. Kids like the chips (expensive at £3.50 medium) but not with an hours wait

A good choice for a take-away in Framlingham. Very popular place. There were a few people ahead of us. Our fish and chips were cooked for us; very hot and fresh.

Fantastic service, friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. There was good attention to getting the order right and what salt and pepper each person wanted. I felt safe in the shop with masks, hand hygiene and distancing being encouraged. We had cod which was extremely fresh and the batter was crisp and tasty. The chips were a good mix, some thick, some crispy. Most of all it was fantastic value for money with great portion sizes.

Worse than the greasy Cod & Chips purchased, was the surly and very unfriendly 2 guys running the place. This was my first visit having moved to Framlingham recently and will most likely be my last. I understand that the shop has recently changed ownership so most of the glowing reviews on here relate to an earlier date.

As always I enjoyed my meal tonight, the burgers are awesome! and the staff are really friendly. Everything was cooked well and tasted great! I love that it comes with a little takeaway carboard box sealed with tape rather than paper. I will definitely be coming back!

In the past, this used to be a fantastic chip shop, before different staff and owners took over at the start of 2020. All of their food was delicious. Everything was cooked well, tasted amazing. The chips were some of the best I had tasted for years, nice and crispy and always cooked to perfection. The fish was also very tasty. Crispy, flavourful batter on everything that was battered (fish, sausages etc). Lovely spring rolls. Tasty pies, great burgers cooked just right. Now that the takeaway has changed hands and staff, the food is not great at all. For one, they have decided to stop wrapping the food in paper, and have now chosen to cram the food into a rectangular cardboard box that is taped shut. Let's start with the chips. As stated before, the chips used to be amazing. Nice and crispy, cooked properly and were always very "Moreish". Now, the chips are soggy and absolutely saturated in grease. Someone needs to teach their staff how to drain the cooking oil from the chips, before now cramming them into a cardboard box and sealing the lid with sticky tape, as the chips now leave your hands covered in grease. They also aren't cooked very well, often needing to either be left in longer, or taken out of the fryer a lot earlier than they should be. Taking the chips out of the box and putting them onto the plate is now a chore in itself, as your hands get absolutely soaked in grease, leaving the box very soggy and wet with cooking oil. For some reason the spring rolls now look and taste like they have been cooked at least twice, very brown and also very soggy. The battered sausages are also soggy when it comes to the batter, not crispy like they used to be, and the sausage itself is very bland and leaves a not very nice aftertaste, which leads me to believe they have been left under the heatlamp for far too long. Now, I used to love a good chicken and mushroom pie from Rumbles, but now after tasting one a few weeks back, never again. Again very soggy when it comes to the pastry, and again feels like it's been sat under the heat lamp for far too long. One of my favourite things from Rumbles used to be their chicken wrap. Always crammed full with tasty, brilliantly cooked flavourful soft chicken, bursting at the seams with chicken and lettuce. Now after what I was given tonight, that was not the case at all. The chicken wrap had three small pieces of chicken, and the lettuce that was there wasn't very nice at all. The wrap itself was very flat and left a lot to be desired, feeling almost empty. Since the previous owners and staff left, the chicken has become dry and not very tasty at all. Not nice to bite into hard chicken. Also I quickly need to mention that the prices have gone up higher than they used to be, which isn't exactly very good value for money. Safe to say, I have now given up on the place. I won't be returning until I hear that standards have been raised and the food has gone back to the great tasting food that it was before. Please come back Inci! The place isn't the same without you!!!

very quick service. Enormous portion and the best yet. Friendly staff and xall very clean and social distance service.

Visited Rumbles today (08.05.20) and couldn’t ask for anything more. Lovely, fresh cod covered in crispy batter and mountains of delicious, chunky chips. Decent value and excellent service from this family-run chippy. Cannot recommend highly enough, and it’s also Ed Sheeran’s favourite chippy - so it’s also got that going for it. 5/5

Rumbles served us a very generous medium portion of Cod & Chips. We paid for it though £16.80 for 2 cod & chips and a can of pop. The most we have ever paid. The food looked tasty though and as I have said, the portions were large. We were sadly disappointed when we began to eat though. Our fingers were soon shiny with grease and the batter was too greasy to eat. The food tasted ok but we couldn’t eat it because the grease just made us feel nauseous. Really expensive and disappointing.

Battered sausage was limp and lukewarm and the chips could do with a bit longer in the fryer. They keep too many things in the warmer for too long and they go soggy. Would be much better if they cooked thing fresh.

Not only is the food excellent, it is great value and cooked just right. Well sized portions. And all the staff are friendly and will have a chat if not too busy. And it is the place where Ed Sheeran gets his fish and chips when in Framingham.

I have heard so many wonderful things about Rumbles, but never visited. Last night after a long and arduous day, I spent the evening with my youngest child at the local high school's open evening. By the time we got out, it was late and I couldn't face starting to cook a meal at 9.30 at night. We popped into Rumbles and although they were about to close, they sold us what they had (delicious mixture of fish, fishcakes and sausages) and put on a fresh batch of chips. I then realised that they only take cash. I would happily have walked down the road to get cash out, but the lovely lady in charge simply told me to drop the money in when I was in Fram on Friday. She was delightful. They all were. They restored my faith in human nature. And the food was delicious! I'll be back.

I phoned in an order tonight. When I got there, there had been a mix up and someone else had accidentally taken my order. The staff at Rumbles were brilliant. Very apologetic, resolved it quickly and even gave us two free cans of soda. The food was very food, the people were very friendly and I was very impressed by their customer service. Would gladly use again.

Framingham is a lovely place to visit like going back in time and they have a amazing chip shop best chips for a long while Defintly recommend a visit

We’ve eaten here a couple of times over the past couple of weeks and never been disappointed, always fresh and hot!

You need to think about parking or walk to rumbles as on busy hill on way out of Framlingham. All you want from a traditional chippie popular with locals, quick service and reasonable prices

Visited Rumbles whilst we were staying nearby in Windmill Lodges. Beautiful cod and chips, very generous portions and you can order and collect. Highly recommended.

The best fish and chips for miles and the portions are very generous and served with a smile. The fish is lean and white and the chips are crisp.

What can one say, the fish and chips (sausages and fish cakes) were delicious. Grabbed our meal while visiting Framlingham castle and found a bench to sit and eat them. Just fantastic. Excellent service too.

If you are looking for the best fish and chips in Suffolk visit Rumbles. A group of us meet in Framlingham almost monthly and we round off the evening with their fish and chips.

Why go all the way to stand in a queue in Aldeburgh, best fish in chips I can remember having, Right here in Framlingham. Freshest fish, light crispy batter and great chips!

Best chips I've had, had to keep eating them even though I was full! Salt and vinegar seasoning very good, subtle but tasty. Staff friendly, good choice of food.

This is our normal Friday night chippy. Always a friendly greeting and tasty chips. We normally have fresh haddock cooked and it is thick and tasty. Well worth a visit

I wanted my chips cooked again, as I like them well done, asked him to do them well done. he said yes ok then just took them out of the already cooked chips didnt even attempt to do them again!! apart from that they were well nice even though I had a 15 min journey home to eat them

Will occasionally fancy a fish and chips and this is always my go to place! The staff are always friendly and chatty, making an effort into getting to know their regular customers. The prices are very cheap and i haven't noticed them ever change. Would recommend to anyone to who is in Framlingham. Only downside - no parking.

After visiting the Lodges up the road we visited to get a nice easy meal, the chips weren't soggy and they offered a good range. They seemed to have a good relationship with regulars which was nice to see.

Well worth a visit Great fish & chips Warm friendly service If you are in Framlingham give Rumbles a try.

Really good fish and chips. Batter was amazing. Fish tasted good and the chips weren't soggy at all. What more can you ask for!!

Brilliant chip shop, biggest problem with this place is parking near this very compact but friendly shop.

My partner and I stopped at Rumbles whilst travelling through Framlingham on our way home last night.

Pasamos unas vacaciones de familia localmente. La comida estaba recién preparado. Disfrutamos mucho del pescado. La pasta es para morirse!

Esta es nuestra "fish and chips" local y creemos que es el mejor dentro de un radio de 10 millas Fram. El servicio es excelente y la comida muy buena y fresca que hace que vale la pena la espera. No hay comer en servicio.

Solo tengo pescado y patatas fritas desde aquí aunque tienen otra comida. Siempre es bueno y bien preparado. Felizmente volveré.

I am a weekly user of Rumbles Fish Bar and I have always been given food of the highest quality. I think the British palate recognises quality in fish and chips and Rumbles produces the highest I have tasted in many years. If you are visiting Framlingham, give them a try you will not be disappointed!

My mother and father live in the village and we always hope mum will not have had time to cook when we visit. This is a great fish and chips. I really like the plaice. Chips are perfectly cooked and not loaded with oil. Well worth a visit.

Four Cod and Chips not one bone found and one plaice no bones, chips were lovely. Thoughly enjoyed thank you, will recommend.

Framlingham's fish & Chip shop consistently serves up great fish and chips. service is always speedy even when busy and portion size is good. Fish is fresh and batter is nice and crispy. Chips seem to be just right every time.
