Rumbles Fish Bar Newmarket in Forest Heath

Came here because a) I'm new to the area, and b) had an excellent experience from the Mildenhall. Really disappointed: fish (Haddock) was wet with soggy batter, chips were soggy, saveloy was stone cold, not even warm, and yes, also soggy. First impressions count, but it was terrible. Won't be coming here again.

Great service and big portions. Friendly staff and clean environment.

Good ambient, but I don't like the food.

Good ambient, but I don't like the food.

Small cod and chips and 10 spicy wings. Only good bit was the chips. Fish was over cooked and soaked in oil. Batter was flat and soggy. Looked like yesterday’s refried. Spicy wings were awful. So over cooked that there was no chicken left on the bone just fried skin so hard it was in edible. Worst meal I’ve had for a long while.

Can't rate atmosphere as it is mainly a takeaway, but, great food, friendly service. Definitely use again! Update; Have used it again..... still excellent 👌

They are a fantastic group of folks in there. I've been a patron for years since moving to town! Food is great, and always fresh!

I think its one of the best kebabs in newmarket. One of the few that has chicken doner.

Very friendly, and although they don't usually serve a cup of tea, they made one for me. Nice fish, lovely chips.

We had a large order 10 fish and chips sasauges in batter chicken mushy peas plus pies chips girkins keabs orderd for 6pm pick up I was not disappointed everything hot order was for 20 people cost around £10 per head I had Fish fantastic total order £153:00 got free drinks too I would order again

Ist class chip shop.well worth a visit

This was the worst kebab meat and chips iv ever had the chips tasted hours old kebab meat was just fatty and cheap stay away

Rumbles has an extensive take away menu so we wondered whether this was Jack of All Trades, Master of None. But the fish and chips were superb. Light well cooked batter, very white tasty haddock and perfect chips. We have not had better. What a pleasant surprise

Some of the most disgusting fish and chip shop food ever. A battered sausage, the batter so thick it was like fatty wet cake on the inside and tough as leather outside. Sweaty floppy chips. Both elements oozing grease. Never again!

A visited places with better reputation. However, that fish-and-chips, it's outstanding good. Thanks

Great food, great service, friendly and polite. Excellent range of food options, have had their fish and chips and several kebabs. Their homemade chili sauce is excellent.

Oh man. 9 quid for 1 fish no chips and 1 curry sauce. Imagine my surprise after I unwrapped it. Small, hard, battered fish skin hardly any meat. Dripping with fat. Terrible.

Paul Rumbles Fish Bar, High Street, Newmarket, Suffolk. Date of Visit 1/6/23 Ratings based on image portrayed and price point. See our featured post for rating scale. Overall experience 3/10 Food 2/10 Service 8/10 Cleanliness 6/10 Value 2/10 The Pecking Orders Verdict In the heart of horse racing Country unfortunately this establishment fell at the first. As far as the food was concerned it was awful. The only good points here were the friendly chaps behind the counter and a reasonably clean looking shop. Not one on our return visit list. Food ordered Large Cod and Chips Mixed Chicken and Lamb Doner Kebab Meat with Garlic Sauce and Salad Total cost £24.30 Having had considerable experience in this field in my past, I fail to see how fish and chips can be made so badly. The fact it was extremely greasy aside, both the cod and chips had an old musty taste reminiscent of an unloved, damp caravan. A yellow tinge to the fish and a sorry grey look to the chips. The flesh of the fish was over cooked and grainy in texture and the chips were hard and dry. A couple of mouthfuls was all I could manage before wrapping it back up and popping back in the bag, hopeful that the kebab meat was better. Very bland chicken meat and rubbery lamb Doner did nothing to erase the disappointment of the previous sampling. The lettuce and onion were both fresh and crisp though and the garlic sauce nice but more herby than garlicky. The two guys behind the counter were friendly, well presented in their whites and service was excellent and the overall cleanliness appeared good with all surfaces wiped clean and everything neatly organised. The price for this offering was just as hard to swallow.

Best Fish and Chip shop in Newmarket this place is so nice with great service much better than the other shop in town who cooks to order making customers wait ages. A definite YES from me !

Large cod and big portions of chips, struggled to eat it all. Served immediately food hot. No complaints on food, its a chip shop not much more I can say as review.

Lovely battered sausage and chips doner kebabs nice but meat a bit dry. Ok though

Had supper here every night for the 3 nights we stayed in Newmarket. Great service and friendly staff. Thanks for looking after the three of us 👍

I ordered mix wrap kebab. Everything ok, nice quick service.

the most disgusting sausage and chips ive ever had , we both threw them in the bin , you should be ashamed of yourselves selling such rubbish , i would eat out the bins before going there again

food is simply disgusting , worst ive ever had, threw it all away plus point is the chip portion is massive , down side to that is theyre awful AVOID AVOID AVOID other better places in town

Lovely friendly place. Changed thier kebab meat however recently and it wasn't as nice

I had doner meat and chips wife hat chicken shish kebab and chips and they were quite good the chips were nice and the meat was not bad at all the Chilli had a nice kick

Very generous portions of scamp and chips enjoyed tonight..Not greasy and very hot.

Leave the chips in a bit longer 🤣🤣

Quite nice. Plenty of Chippys in this town, but this is one of the better ones. Decent serving of chips and fish is nice, but rare to get fish straight out of the fryer

Great kebabs and great chips and there potatoes are lovely.Always very friendly.

Situated near the clock tower at the top of the High Street, we called by for a Large Cod, Scampi and Chips. Wonderful large piece of fish, well cooked chips. Took it up the road to park in the car next to the Gallops, which are free to the public after 1pm. Would recommend it.

We had a kebab and chips from here, it really was not nice, I’m not sure what they did with the meat but it seemed to have herbs and spices added which made it taste horrible, the texture really was not nice either. The chips were ok.

Best chippy in Newmarket, great fish, crispy and fresh

Tried the new order online tonight and was extremely disappointed when I got home to see how much smaller the large COD was compared to before. I normally share it with my husband but this one was only enough for one person but price was the same. Value has gone for me.

Tonight went to get some food, lge diner chips, fish/chips and curry sauce, got home missing curry sauce, fish had a bone in it, chilli sauce was awful then forgot curry sauce , food awful

Great quality food and excellent value for money!

Clean friendly and fabulous fish and chips.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the portions generous and the fish and chips are always beautifully cooked. I now visit pretty much every week - an old fashioned treat every time. Highly recommended

Brilliant food and you can sit it.

Best fish and chips ! Delicious 😋

Fast, nice food and people's working there.

Clearly a local favourite, and can see why! The chips are lovely and the fish (went for cod) even more so. Everything was really hot and fresh. Served by two members of staff at once which made for a very quick and efficient transaction. Lovely setting around the immediate area to sit on a bench and enjoy your dinner.

Great Food, friendly service and good value. Ordered online and was ready for collection bang on time.

Nice enough staff and good parking generally. Fish pieces are rather too large for individual servings I find.

Due to lock down our golf society could not get a meal after our round, so ask the very friendly staff at Rumbles if they could help us out and nothing was too much for them. We picked up the 28 Fish and Chips took them back to pub garden and they were wonderful not a bit greasy. Not one complaint 28 happy golfers and wives.

Lovely fresh fish, tasty chips. very quick friendly service. Only takes cash

It's a very good shop and lovely shop staff lovely fish and chips

We have visited this chippie for take-away only a couple of times and so far we are happy. However, parking in this part of Newmarket is almost impossible with double yellow lines everywhere even on side roads. It takes two of us to buy our take away or a lucky space in designated parking some while away. Great location, very visible but ..,

The best fish and chips in town! We won’t get chips anywhere else!

Polite service with quality fresh food.

Battered sausage was horrible, chips soggy and cold

Friendly service and generous portions of delicious food. We use this place regularly, particularly on a Sunday and always a good experience. Would highly recommend!

Great fish and chips and plenty of them

Always good service good portions fish and chips is what I go for not tried other stuff but it all looks goodv

Good value and the food has been consistently good whenever we've gone here

Lovely people...Food always plenty and fresh.

Always the choice of places in Newmarket to go for Fish and Chips, all freshly cooked and huge portions, staff are really friendly and chatty

Abit dirty they have no time for the customer

Just horrible greasy horrible oil the sausages were so bad couldn’t eat I never before have chucked so many chips and one and a half sausage away was that bad . I was looking foreword to try this chippy as drive past all the time at work was very poor !!

Great chippie, lovely friendly staff...food is amazing. Thank you for the best Pukka Pies.

Well worth a visit, cooked fresh and before your eyes, super quality fish, chips and sausages, also does pies, chicken nuggets chicken, and salad, there is a strong Turkish link as the staff are Turkish and proud of there heratige and service skills , we often use this fish bar

Good value fish and chips . Chicken ribs and kebabs available .

Good service and excellent food. However like all chip shops, can be a bit greasy at times during a rush period. Best one in Newmarket though in my opinion. The portions are enormous so will satisfy the most hungry appetite.

Staff was friendly. Worst fish and chips I have had, oil used must have been old.😣

Have ordered food from this chippy at least 3 times on various visits to Newmarket. Good value and tasty food at a reasonable price.

We were so looking forward to fish and chips and were disappointed. Lots of grease, fish overcooked and only warm and the chips were just about cooked. Don't think we will be back just not good enough - sorry.

Large portions, good value for money.. Lovely staff

COD was cooked perfectly. The batter was light and crispy. Chips were perfect. Best fish and chips around.

Usual choice of chip shop fare friendly welcome, good service. Food was tasty and good value would visit again if in the area

Traditional food cooked very well definitely worth a visit

You won’t go hungry here, we love a chicken wrap from here!! always good quality and we share the chips as you get so many.

Plenty of chips lovely fish and a good size.nice staff.my advice,have one portion chips to each fish.prompt service

Always friendly and welcoming staff, the food is delicious! :), definitely recommend.

Generous, friendly and great food!

No frills fish bar, but the food is great. The Fish was freshly cooked and the chips were hot. The seating is basic but you can look out on the high street.. The staff were happy and pleasant so I would definitely go back

All of the food is very fresh and there is such a selection to cater for all the family.

Lovely friendly service HUGE portions Lovely local chippy Prominent position at top of high street Quick park spot on opposite side of road that should be ok in the evening

Good value, always hot and tasty. Nice friendly staff.

Good service and a great bit of fish

Big portions and well priced, standard quality

I had fish and chips here but they also do really nice Shish Kebabs, burgers and so on.I had a large cod and chips which was really nice. The only criticism I have is that the curry sauce was not that good. I ordered quite a lot of other things as well and the price was really cheap.

Good fish and chips for £7. Service is always good and the food is hot and tasty. Well worth a recommendation. These guys close about 11pm so no late night Kebab from here :(

Tasty food, helpful friendly staff, served very quickly . Also nice cosy and very clean ! The price I paid It's worth it! I'm happy to recommend this fish and chips shop

Husband just arrived home with a take away - quarter pounder & chips and they forgot to put the burger in the bun....but remembered a piece of tomato and lettuce

Brought chicken burger meal,and burger meal,loads to eat,food lovely hot tasty to eat,was loads,will be going there more now,

If you can mange to find somewhere to park up you are on to a winner. Really tasty food and quick service. Cod is huge too and generous chip portions make this a must try.

The size of the portions here are something to behold! A medium cod often ends up being served as two not exactly small cod! Probably the best fish and chips in town.

Their food is really nice I've been there quite a few times but the biggest problem is parking to get to it a lot of people just pull up outside on yellow lines causing traffic problems, but the nearest sensible place to park is 200m+ away so you have to rush so your food doesn't get cold, you're in a bit of a pickle if it rains, other than that it's worth people taste testing

Best fish in the area - always cooked well& excellent portions Staff happy & friendly & love a little banter in Turkish

Superb food from all the team at Rumbles, thank you all.

Portion are good, and fish is nice. Also kebabs are cooked perfectly

Great chip shop in Newmarket. Personally I think it is a tad pricey for fish and chips... however it is tasty.

A lovely clean takeaway with plenty of choice average pricing polite efficient staff. I highly recommend the chicken shish, freshly cooked in front of me very tasty and full of fresh salad. Chips were very nice too.
