Salt & Vinegar in Wokingham

Best Fish ‘n Chips I’ve had in years. The serving area was immaculately clean, generous portions.

We ordered 2x cod, 1x scampi, 1x chips 1x curry sauce, 2 x gherkins. I was surprised to see the size of the cod has shrunk! Whilst the prices may have increased the portion sizes are not inline with any increase. We paid approx £32.

Fish was nice unfortunately let down by old dry chips. At £3.00 for the chips you'd expect better.

Always great food, good clean and tasty chips and the fish is lovely. They are consistent with the quality of food. There no atmosphere to be had but the staff are lovely, welcoming and pleasant.

Well cooked fish, the chips were nice

Amazing place, highly recommend

Great food served fresh at reasonable prices

Such yummy fish n chips. Always consistent and delicious

BEWARE THE HIDDEN EXTRA! ...I ordered cod, small chips and battered sausage this evening. I noticed it cost more than what I worked it out to be, so I queried it. The server pointed out that there was a 5% surcharge for credit cards. This is in small print on a laminated A4-sized menu inside the shop. This was not in place when I last went there about three weeks ago on 24th April. I expect most people will just pay up without noticing they're being ripped off. KER-CHING!

Quite good quality. Downside is they charge 5% surcharge even if you use a debit card. Not going back.

I, first, visited Salt & Vinegar about 6/7 years and I used to rave about it being the best fish and chip shop in Reading and that was a consistent experience until a couple of years ago after which I vowed not to return. I was given hard chips and fish that didn’t taste at all fresh, quite disparate from my previous visits but I deliberated a bit and decided that I wouldn’t write off the shop based on one visit. I visited again and was met with the same experience. I left it a few years and returned today, the chips were hard and tasteless and the fish matched it. I believe in giving people chances but this is enough and I won’t be returning. I could not finish the food and Iconsider it a waste of £9.75 or however much it cost. That’s disgraceful that you would serve under standard food to anyone. I, certainly would never treat anyone like that! I like being positive and so, I will end on one positive note by giving Salt and Vinegar credit for having the food ready very fast.

Unfortunately not the best chip shop i've Visited in my time & not really value for money either.....

Portions were rather small & The chips were'nt that nice

Good fish and chips 🍟 😋 tasty at the end of a long day

This is our favourite out of the various fish and chip shops in the area. Friendly, efficient and fast service.

Friday special senior fish and chips ample portion for most

Been using this Chippy for years and never been disappointed.

We had been recommended that we should try this place. Just fancied Cod and Chips. Upon arrival the place was empty, but it was the hottest day this year. Cod was fresh, well cooked, full of flavour. Not greasy nor dried out. The chips were hot and were proper chips. Again not greasy, although one or two were a little dried out. But the portion made up for those that were not up to scratch. It has been some time since I have had fish from chippy so the price caught me off guard.

Great value, best in the area from what I’ve experienced. The fish was just what you want from a local chippy, crispy batter and crumbly white fish. A large chips was enough to serve both me and my girlfriend and we only waited about 5 minutes. Perfect chippy! Plenty of parking outside too

Lovely welcoming staff, food is good and reasonably priced, 3 meals with 2 haddock and chips, spam fritter and chips, curry sauce and a savaloy for just under £30. Fish is good, well cooked, moist and chunky. Chips perfect and portion sizes are generous. Thanks guys, we will be back.

Good F&C but like all of these shops these days has become very expensive sadly.

Favourite fish and chip shop. We drive from Wokingham to eat here.

Nice fish shop good service but you can pay cash for your food

Spent £18 and got the smallest amount of cod and chips I’ve ever seen won’t be returning

Its hard to get nice fish and chips down about Winnersh, its all beer coated batter and fries not chips. Salt and vinegar was not that, nice bit of cod freshly fried and proper thick chips. They would get 5 stars off me in Glasgow, let alone in Winnersh! When I visited it was cash only - might be worth having a tenner handy in case thats normal for them. Its worth the hassle of getting cash!

Not as good as other chippies in the area and expensive

Good services and the food is very 👍

Fish n Chips nice portion not to big but decent value .... cash only is bit odd

Quick and good service, only cash

Although there fish and chips are probably one of the best in woodley don't order a pie, it's like a house brick 😒

First time at the Salt & Vinegar, had Fish and Chips. A generous amount of small Chips and the batter on the Fish was crunchy. Will be trying them again.

Very quick service, lots to chose from. Chippies just don't seem as good down south for some reason, especially in Reading but this is a clear exception. Light and crispy batter and amazing fresh chips. Easily the best chippy in Reading

Worst fish and chips I've had in a long time. Cash only which is inconvenient and suggests they don't pay the tax they should.

Brexit has clearly impacted this place. Fish nowhere near as good as it used to be and prices have gone up

Always first class. Best we've found in and around Woodley. Cash-only though!

Great Fish n Chip shop. Slight warning - they only take cash NO CARDS

Really nice food but small portion size.

Enjoyed our lunch haven't been here before a little pricey but enjoyed the food.

Great piece of fish, thick and succulent, not too much batter. Crispy chips. Note: cash-only payment. Weekday lunchtimes senior citizens fish and chips (smaller portion) £6.20 May 2022.

Liked the fish and chips here...

The fish was lovely but the chips hadn't been refreshed so we're almost cold. Pity as the tasted nice but cold!

I have used Salt & Vinegar a number of times over the years and the food is always of a good standard. Unfortunately on my most recent visit the portion size was questionable for the money.

Fantastic independent chippy with a nice homemade curry sauce.

Freshly cooked, tasty range of fish: cod, haddock, plaice or scampi. Generous portion sizes: order large portion of chips for 2 people. Light, crispy batter yet not oily. Pukka brand chicken and mushroom pies are small, deeply filled yet lush! Other fillings too. Kids' portions available. Good range of sides, sauces, chicken and burgers. All served with a SMILE and good 'old fashioned customer service'. £££ CASH ONLY. No cards. Have to wear a face mask for entry. FREE car parking outside. Can pre-order for collection. No delivery.

First visit. Chips great, fish mmmm it was rock hard, couldn't even give it to the dog!! But I'll be back for chips!!

Poor. Food was not cooked fresh. Expensive and soggy chips. Avoid.

Moved to the area recently and this is the best chippy we've tried. Food is fresh, tasty and good value.

Very over priced comparied to other chippys in the area and cash only in what is almost a cashless society

Great staff great food. Best chips around.

We have been using this fish and chips for several years. We have had a great takeaway everytime !!

We usually end up going back fish and chips. £7.50 for fish and small chips. Nearer to your house and taste is nice.. Not the best I have had. Open till 9 pm only. Sunday and Monday closed..

Excellent food so fresh..yet cant pay by card so be warned..good parking too

First time had fish and chips from Salt and Vinegar. Both of my kids liked it and finished all. Definitely worth every penny.

Great food at a good price, but it's cash only, so come prepared.

Small portions for big prices Not very friendly

It's ok. At least the chips weren't greasy but the fish was relatively small for the price (cod & plaice on this order) and was overcooked. Cash only too ... in this day and age is annoying and archaic.

If they keep skinning the 🐟 I will keep going back there as I do prefer battered 🐟 with no skin on 😁 😆 and so does my Grandaughter. So a thumbs-up 👍 to good take out food .

Fish dry, probably from lunch time. Chips soggy. Will not be going back.

Great food and friendly service

First time using this fish and chip shop this evening as a treat for my dad to who we haven't seen due to being in lockdown wht can I say chips not nice very dry and not very hot will not be using again

Good system. Go in, order, they give you a number on a little blue plastic fish. You then wait outside and look for your number on the led number board. Works well. Can't be so great if it's raining! Oh yes, fish and chips were pretty good!

The best fish and chips in woodley,always fresh and good portion, also friendly staff quick service!

Great shop fish and chips were amazing as well as jumbo sausage and batter, will definitely be going back

This time the chips were burnt, and they do allow people in the shop without a mask. So if you go in there please be careful.

Very disappointed, the chips were not very good.

Great staff, lovely food and good prices, one of the best. Good portion sizes and served quickly

The best fish and chips in the area, always fresh, good portions and very efficient

Friendly staff quick service great tasting food and corona safe what more do you need

Good fish and chips , not open late though

Covid measures very good system in place. Fish and chips always great.

Had fish and chips (other half had scampi) from Salt & Vinegar last night, and having tried many other chippies in the Lower Earley/Earley/Woodley area, I can honestly say this is the best! Chips cooked perfectly, flavoursome fish, tasty, crunchy scampi. And the mushy peas were very good too! Do beware, they only accept cash, which would lose them a star were the food not so good! This is our new regular chip shop, even though its a few minutes drive further than others. Well worth it.

Great system for ordering and collection meaning you don't have to crowd with people. Fish and chips are always excellent here!

Best fish n chips in the area by a long shot. bit of a wait because the que is so big in fridays but thats inly cause of how good it is! Only place to go if woodley fish and chips is what your looking for

Quick and friendly service, with lovely chips! I had chips and scampi - everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. Would definitely go again!

Food is good. Quickly prepared, but shame it is cash only, which is a bit annoying if you get there and forget.

Good food & very clean, staff are polite, happy & effient.

The salt and vinegar is the best in the world

Very tasty. No waiting for pre-ordered food.

Haven't had fish & chips from here before but pleased to say they were very good! Chips cooked just right and not hard and dry. Curry sauce was great!

The best fish and chip shop in Woodley. Chip portion is so large I usually share it with my daughter.

Our dependable fish & chip shop in Woodley. I recommend the Haddock, but the Cod looked so good, I'll be having it next time. Be ware, it gets busy at the weekend.

Great value for what you get, the battered sausage was very tasty

Best fish and chips in the area

Excellent fish and chips. Very tasty, fresh and hot.

Love this fish and chip shop, highly recommend it's fresh, non greasy and the service is great! They always have a line out the door when I go and that's for a very good reason. If you want the best fish and chips in the winnersh Woodley area this is the one you want!

Great prices and really like the food. It's our local chippie and we are very lucky.

Tiny fish with loads of chips for £6.70; not worth it.

Nice lunch time snack potatoes good quality the fish cake was ok

Best fish and chips in Berkshire this from a northerner is praise indeed

Expensive chippy. Shocking prices

Food is always outstanding and service is lovely!! Very nice and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Good Food. Nice and clean place.

Lovely chips just next to where I was working.

Worth the journey great food friendly staff

Fish not greasy which was good. Chips quite nice but lacked crispness send fluffy centre. Portions were okay. Batter was a bit thick and overdone

Tasty fish and chips and saveloy. Parking outside.

Nice food, polite staff. Large menu and lots of deals, esp lunch time. Will return again.

Does not accept card payment . Fish was too oily than average Fish and Chips shops in town.

Favourite fish and chips in woodley

Always pretty good Haddock and Chips freshly cooked
