Smart Fish Bar in South Gloucestershire

Easily the best takeaway in the area. Great value for money and delicious food!

I'd always heard good things about this place yet had never been in. I finally decided to try it out and unfortunately ended up disappointed. The service was flat and offish. The food was less than sufficient and seemed to take an age to be ready ( especially considering it was only sausages and chips, and it was very quiet at the time I went in). The chips were pale and undercooked and the whole lot seemed to taste and smell of the paper and cardboard they were wrapped in. I couldn't get rid of the taste of sweaty cardboard for hours!!?? Blurgh. The sausages were OK but nothing special I'm afraid. I certainly won't be trying theses guys out again. I'm not sure what all the fuss was about? And for £20 (for 2 chips and 4 sausages) the value was poor too. I rarely write or post a negative review but this experience, I'm sorry to say, was not good.

Just got nice chips from friendly people thanks

Good fish well cooked and could have gotten away with small chips between the two of us as we had loads left after we finished eating.

Fantastic chippy. Good food great staff.

Great fish and chips shop, batter is always crispy, always busy

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Staff here are disgusting, been screamed at in the car by staff for parking their. Funny thing is it's not just their car park, 3 different buisness operate on the same lot. Didn't even ask if I was going their shop or not, when approached by 3 different staff members. I can understand if their were parking terms and conditions here and if I had broken them but there aren't any, no terms to park in this car park. Food is meh at best and quality and size has dropped alot recently. Please go anywhere but here

Nah, the parking is not just for your customer! (Don’t create problem that your customer doesn’t want to see it). I used to like here for your service, guess not now.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE! AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Staff have been seen vandalising cars in the PUBLIC car park. Also food is terrible and staff are very very rude. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Just tried to get some chips at lunchtime. I was the only other customer waiting to order but the waitress continued to ignore me to have a long chat with her friend. I eventually left and didn't get any chips.

Consistently good fish and chips

I’ve been here for a few weeks now and the quality of food just isn’t there for the price, trying to make friendly banter with the owner and he seems very rude,

Have always loved the fish and chips from here but sorry to say the last three times food has been disappointing. Chips were very dry, hard and seemed like they had been cooked twice. Fish batter quite soggy, always used to be crisp. Such a shame as I always used to highly recommend this fish bar.

3rd time running that the chips have been terrible. Fish ok but can't cook chips. Will try somewhere else next time.

All friendly staff food is always amazing, love the place

Chips were inedible, had an artificial crispy coating, looked and tasted wrong, had to be thrown away. When we phoned the shop, they said we can’t do anything about it. Avoid at all costs!

Quick stop while bus training. Good and quick.

the food is brilliant and not oily which is always good. could do with more vinegar but other then that the food is banging best chippy in Bristol I definitely recommend going you will not be disappointed the service is very good and staff are nice love you chippy

Joke ordering online. Arrived on time for collection had to wait 20 minutes and 7 others just coming in got their food before mine. No reason given or apology by staff.

Always made to feel welcome often we have a natter Always very pleasant and kind. I normally have batterd sausage and chips and a cold Clarks pie to have next with the chips left over from the batterd sausage lot. The portion size is great and I feel valued as a customer. I don't drive but there plenty of parking and near by tescos express. It's a great location and for me it right next to the bus stop with many destinations across Bristol and surrounding areas. Go and treat yourself you won't be disappointed.

Always good. Cod & Chips excellent. Good service & lovely chips. Defo worth a visit. Shame they are not open on Sundays.

Brilliant friendly service, delicious food. Cater for gluten and dairy allergies.

Very nice fish & chips and friendly staff

Got explosive diarrhoea from the scampi a few hours before my date, but I love the cod and haddock. The chips are also great.

Time taken from order to leaving was less than 20mins with the food cooked fresh.Will go again.

Fantastic, value for money alone is worthy of five stars. Just to note make sure you pre-order online or face a huge queue.

Never had a problem here. The fish is always well cooked and the chips I find are the best in the area. I order on line and never have a problem the food is always ready. The prices are reasonable and now i don't go anywhere now for my fish and chips.

Food is amazing and done quickly even when the place is busy as anything. Having now tried a wide range of menu items, I can comfortably say there is nothing I feel isn't up to standard. The prices are fairly cheap and portion sizes are more than adequate (especially for chips). Staff are friendly enough and will get through the order process quickly and we'll.

Excellent customer service, and the food is very nice. Varied menu.

Always use the click and collect with their web UI, very easy to use. Food prepared every time I arrive there, they only pack when I’m arrive so it’s still hot. Staff are always polite and helpful.

Tried couple of times. Not a fish person myself but my wife is. So its the best fish and chips in bradley stoke area. First time we tried cod and chips. Absolutely no oil and yummy. Next time we tried haddock and chips but this it was oily . Thats the only reason for not giving 5 star Otherwise prime location near parkway station and ample space for parking. The service was really good too and you could order directly from website… no place to eat but you have a place to sit and wait. Drinks machine. And ya 5£ and above only for cards…

Really enjoy the food on offer here , and I am quite happy to pass other fish and chip shops to get our food here . Staff are friendly and welcoming as well.

Gluten free is excellent. Always excellent chips. Front of house always polite.

£8.10 for a large kebab, wow 1 mouthful of donor meat and it was gone,hardly any sauce, chips tasted absolutely vile. Like stale oil worse chips I've ever had in my life. Usually come here few times a week but this is defo the last time. Wish I took a photo of kebab but it went straight in the bin. £16 for kebab and chips, never again.

Not one to leave reviews. Thought we would give it another try. Benefit of the dought & that. Defo won't be returning. Just paid alot for a large kebab to share, I would hate to think what a small looked like. Wasn't even a portion for 1. The chips were like they had been there allday. Curry sauce like water. Even the kids turnt there noses up and they love chipshop usually.

Fish was very over cooked and tasteless. Very dissapointing.

The Best chip shop in the area. Food great friendly staff and great service.

I have eaten here many times. It is only an average chip shop. The chips normally are only served warm meaning they aren't cooked on order. The may sit being warmed for too long before serving. I prefer my chips cooked on order and it is obvious that these chips are not as good as they should be if they didn't sit keeping warm. Only one time I received cooked chips on order and it was amazing. Only 1 out of times 4 times I received amazing food. The other 3 where only average at best. The cod is average to above average depending on what time I went. Like I said, I like everything cooked on order.

The pinnacle of fish and chips in the south glos/ North Bristol area. On line ordering and pick up always faultless. Chips are superb, fish is fantastic and the gluten free is to be applauded, barely distinguishable from the regular. Portion size is generous to say the least. 10/10

Rude members of staff no respect wat so ever intagnising me to hit them kicked my car out side and the amount of rats that ran out of the kitchen was a discrase should have a visit from environmental health and also immigration as none of the staff can speak English

Always good here. Regularly make large orders over the phone for groups at work and they get them perfect ever time. Large portions on the chips. Tasty and well cooked. The kebabs are delicious also but the portions are a bit hit and miss but that is a minor thing and not a real problem as its well priced. Would highly recommend this chippy. 👌

Have been going to this chip shop since it opened and have always been treated very by staff. Never had an issue with food served (sometimes very generous with the portions, what is never an issue as the food is gorgeous). Ordered last night and got a large rather than a small cheesy chips (again not the first time this has happened, and I'll always be humble about that). Overall, staff are lovely, shop is always delightfully warm or cold depending on the weather, food is always quick even when made to order!

Nice food. Drinks are a complete rip off.

All ways a queue. They do move it quite quickly

Hot food fast ,service was Excellent

Great for gluten free fish chips

We have regularly bought from here over the last year, usually cod and chips and large battered sausage and chips and the food is delicious! Nice, clean premises and friendly, helpful staff. Reasonable prices too. You can also pre-order for collection.

The best chips in town!.. absolutely perfect..

Just eaten gluten free chips, battered sausage and fish cake and was the best I have ever had. Big portion and very enjoyable.

Quick service despite a huge Friday rush and a cod and chips and pie and chips that did not deserve to be so absolutely scrumptious. We frequent some of the best chip shops in the south and were really pleased with this meal... 10/10

Food as actually really nice here but the waiting times are ridiculous. People waiting way too long, even for click and collect…just off putting

i want with scouts on a chip shop challange my team had to go here we ran into a problem with are money a kind lady with her daughter gave me and the lads £4.50 so we thanked her and ordered the staff gave me and the lads free lollies and we said about drinks we and my friend wanted tango 1.25ml but my other team wanted water so the staff told us to pay for the tango then gave us 6 cups to go with tango then gave us 5 bottles of water for free

Fantastic fish and chips brilliant service.

Very friendly run business, love getting my food here.

Good service, good food, as usual

Had cod and chips and the fish was like rubber and the chips was cold and under cooked

If I could give 0 stars I would. The worst kebab iv had always used this fish and chip shop and I will now never be going back. Don’t waste your time here

Only thing missing from this chip shop is delivery. I think it’s the only place locally that doesn’t deliver but they do the best gluten free food

Popular because the food is well cooked and the quality of the fish is high. Good portions and generally not too long of a wait because a lot is cooked to order to ensure it is served fresh

Service with a smile and great fush and chips

Great haddock, great staff. Prompt and friendly.

The worst chip shop I've ever been in. Very bland food the kebab meat is like cardboard with no taste and they give you more salad in the kebab than actual meat. Chips are anaemic also very bland and the prices for such bad food is extortionate. They even charge you for the salad that comes with the kebab , everywhere else I've been for a kebab gives you the salad free. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and we definitely won't ever go there again.

I can’t fault this place! We love ordering a little treat a couple of times a month. Gluten free fish or sausage is hard to come by but smart get it right every time! Staff are lovely too!

The best gluten free food, cooked to order. Can resist going there if I'm in the area.

New owners. Fish was excellent - best I've had in a long time. A bit pricey but everything is nowadays. Worth spending the money for the quality though

Top notch. Give mushy pea fritter a try...

Quick service even when very busy it's very clean and the staff always seem very happy

Stop going here a few years back as had a bad experience but decided to give them other go as craving chips. We when just before closing on Saturday lunchtime and they were help to serve but only want they left which was fine by me (less food being wasted)

Great service, even better if you use the app or order head. Not cheap but quality never is.

Best chippy in North Bristol, service with a smile and excellent value.

Ordered a small doner kebab, absolute joke of a portion, more like a child size!

Gluten free fish and chips which is a great plus. Great food, a little expensive for fast food

Friendly staff ,food is excellent

Had mixed kabab smallest portions I have ever seen for £8 very poor value

First time there since lock down but was very dissatisfied with the fish, it was wafer thin and to dry, although the chips were fine and the service good. Nice clean premises.

My favourite chippy by far. Chips are crispy and cooked to perfection for my tastes. Service is usually incredibly fast. Keep up the good work!

First time I’ve used this fish shop and was very disappointed, ordered large cod lot and a bartered sausage, with a pot of curry sauce and was over £15. The large cod lot was more like a small portion compared to other fish shops I visit! Batter was very salty??? New experience for me. Maybe I got them on a bad day as most reviews are very good ! But unfortunately I will be sticking with my local fish shop .

Beautiful fresh to order food ,and kebabs are flipping lush...

Under new management great improvement in all areas happier staff,great improvement of good food

Nice fresh fish, crispy batter, reasonable price

Excellent chippy, great staff and speedy. Always busy which shows how good the food really is. Food is cooked to order so always hot and fresh. Recommended!

Really enjoyed it! Tip top fish and chips

Food is pretty good although never seems really hot. However, my biggest bug bear with this place is the queuing system. Tonight it was quite busy and large queue outside. The girl taking the orders from face to face customers was also taking telephone orders. I wouldn’t expect a customer to ‘push in’ in front of me in the shop so why do the staff think it is okay to answer the phone while we wait to place our orders? I mentioned this to the staff member who says she has to do both while three other staff were stood waiting to pack orders of those already in the shop. Unless this changes I will take my custom elsewhere! I saw at least two customers walk away from the queue outside due to the waiting around. With rising prices, takeaway food is a treat now and I would have thought this place like many others need all the customers they can get! It’s noticeable no one seems to get a response from the owner to previous feedback, good or bad!

Nice bit of fish and cracking chips

First time visit . Very impressive. 3x fish and chips . 2 large sausages and chicken nuggets. Generous portions. Freshly cooked lovely flavour

The best fish and chip shop all around Bristol 😉🍾🎉😎

Great fish and chips best in area

Fantastic chippy for food and service. Friendly staff and really great food. I travel from Bradley Stoke down to this chippy as the food is so good. Always fast and friendly service also. Superb

Always great food, staff lovely and we're never had a bad meal there.

Another excellent local Chippy, recommended!

Food was ok but in a busy shop to have just one person serving everyone is waiting to get served and also trying to work out where the end of the que is.

A decent place for some good old fish and chips Did not check out their kebab section though

Great fish and chips. Best to phone ahead and collect. Saves hanging about in cold/wet weather.

Not the cheapest but great tasting food.

Gluten free fish and chips! Finally! Made well too. Even the vinegar is gluten free.

Very swift service, excellent food

Can be good and always generous portions, but the problem is, the chips are variable. I've had well cooked, hot crispy chips as good as any chip shop some visits, but other times, including most recent visit, they are anaemic, cooked but only just, and not very warm. I feel like I want to ask to see them before ordering!

Excellent food, and very quiet on the night I went in.

Fast, food and near to Bristol Park Train Station. Descent food and nice customer service. I can highly recommend.

Lovely fish and chips. Good prices
