Stowupland fish and chips in Mid Suffolk

Very poor service, pre ordered and was not ready when I turned up! Not busy! Just not the same anymore

Absolutely superb fish n chips ! Fish wrapped separately from chips so didn’t go soggy ! Fantastic crispy batter on gorgeous fresh fish !! Chips are next level !! Simply superb

I go once a week. There are fish and chip shops closer but Stowupland is top quality. The owners are very friendly and polite.

Reliable quality ,amazing batter and great chips.The curry sauce is one of the best ever .Cash only great local chipshop never use others as they are never as good

I was in the area only because I was buying a car nearby and stopped here for lunch. It was such a lucky find. The team are friendly and knowledgeable and advised that their haddock was excellent. I don't normally go for haddock but tried it on their recommendation. The battered haddock was delicious. It was made to order, fresh and hot. The crispy batter was so light and not at all greasy. The fish was so fresh and sweet. Pricing for the fish is by weight. My large piece of haddock was under £7 and amazing value. The chips were good value and hot and tasty. My friend enjoyed their cheese and onion fried pancake. This is a real gem of a fish and chip shop. Please give it the custom it deserves. If I lived closer I would be back frequently: I will pop by when I'm next in the area.

I found out that this shop sold GF Fish and have thoroughly enjoyed a few meals over recent months. However, Friday 7th Jan 2022 was different. I tried to phone ahead to order GF but no reply on several occasions. I drove 8 miles to the shop and found myself in a long queue. Quite happy to wait my turn. After waiting 15 minutes to order, I asked an assistant for GF Cod. The shop owner, angrily commented that "I don't do Gluten Free between 5-8pm on a Friday". I can understand this but he then snapped "I've been clear about this, many times!" I did not need to be spoken to like this. I then bough my meal elsewhere.

This is the best Fish and Chip shop I've been to, everything is cooked to perfection and the staff are friendly and helpful. We visit here every week or two over lunch, and it's certainly popular, in spite of being slightly out the way. They also sell sacks of potatoes during the winter months and these are also excellent. Try it - you won't regret it!!

Outstanding haddock and chips, crisp batter, firm fish, non greasy. Cheerful staff an added bonus. Nothing like a bit of gay banter.

first time trying it, do not regret it. the chips were cut to perfection on the 24th of september, worthy of a tip for the chef. well done :)

The best fish and chips my wife and I have eaten for a very long time , Will travelled from bury st Edmunds to try them and we wasn’t disappointed

This chippy is a absolutely delicious easily one of the best fish and chip shops in the hole of east anglia!!!! As a delivery driver that’s tried most chippy’s around Norfolk Suffolk and Essex Cambridgeshire this easily goes into my top 5 possibly top 3 , can’t wait to deliver near again delicious chips how they should taste excellent prices and excellent friendly welcoming staff !!!! Should of tried years earlier love it

We stopped here mid driving lesson to try the local fodder as my student recommended it, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprise with possibly the best chip shop chips I've had in yonks. We got sausage and chips, and fishcake and chips for less than a fiver, everything was well cooked and had flavour too, some chippys serve you barely cooked white flavourless potato mush and almost cooked sausages, this, however, as you can see was all nicely cooked which gave it extra flavour, the chips were golden brown more so than they look in the photo, and my battered sausage had a very nice light batter with proper crunch, and wasn't greasy at all. I don't give high praise easily, but this was well deserved, and even the customer service was bang on. If I'm anywhere near this chippy again, I'll be going back in there for sure. I think this is my first review with all ratings at maximum, and I've been to some posh nosh places too that should have been scored like this, but let themselves down in one form or another, this place is bang on in all departments.

Our cod and chips was cooked to order and we could not fault it, the batter was crispy and the cod and chips were cooked perfectly. It was easy to find with a Sign on the main road.

This is the best fish and chips in Stowmarket/Stowupland. It’s always busy so that shows how good they are, very very tasty and not greasy at all.

We popped in opportunistically and were delighted with the service. This little chip shop is a real find! Even with social distancing they were friendly and welcoming. The fish and chips were delicious we will definitely make it a regular!:))

We've use this fish shop many times the food is beautiful, what put us off in the end was rudeness of the older female server.Customer service is key and there is no need for the way she speaks to people, this isn't the first time I've noticed this. Will not be returning for this reason, shame really as the food is good quality

Always pop in when we are in the area. Only shame is they don't offer salt and vinegar before wrapping like other places!

beautiful piece of fish cooked to perfection chips good too Delicious one of the best chip shops ive used

The best place for fish and chips in the area. The owner is such a nice chap and always welcoming. Would recommend!

Always welcoming, always great food. What more could you want? There is plenty of choice of freshly cooked food.

Always the best fish and chips here, you cant beat it. Great choice of food to suit everyone. Get there early as the queues can get long but they move quickly. Martin and staff are fabulous.

The food in this shop just has to be experienced! The chips are excellent, the batter on the fish is crispy without risk of bending teeth, and the fish is succulent! I haven't had the chance YET! to try any other of their offerings as I'm far too impressed by the fish! :-)

Love this place the food is cooked to perfection and I believe this is the best chip shop in Suffolk. The fish and chips are not too greasy and the staff are friendly. Always a queue which shows its popularity with other locals. Definitely worth the wait. So yummy!!

Highly recommended to us and we can see why! The fish was so tasty - lovely batter and cooked to perfection - only criticism - which we'd ordered the large!! Chips again, cooked to perfection - all in all a delicious fish and chip supper - would definitely recommend to others.

Worth the trip .We had heared about fish and chip shop from friends . So thought we take road trip to try . Glad to say very worth the trip . Lots of locals but we where made just as welcome . Small wait . Will take trip again in summer or stop in if passing

A superb Fish and Chip shop in Stowupland with fun staff and the best grub ever. The chips are divine and the portions huge. Batter is perfect and the fish is second to none. Will always use this shop.

I visit the Fish Bar, every time I visit Stowmarket, since 2001, it is a long way to travel from Sydney, Australia.

On recommendation from various friends in Debenham we tried this chippy. Ideal if you are on your way home Debenham from Stowmarket, otherwise a 15 min trip. Either order by phone or as soon as you get there. Excellent fish and chips well priced and friendly service

I'd heard good things about Stowupland chippy so, despite living within a few hundred metres of two chip shops in Needham Market, I decided to go the extra mile (or two) and pay it a visit. There was a shop full of customers waiting and several more waiting outside so I was expecting good things and I wasn't disappointed. The fish (my large haddock was actually a HUGE haddock) was delicious. The batter was crispy and light and it wasn't greasy as it had been allowed to stand for a few minutes to dry after cooking. The fish was cooked to order and the chips were top rate. Everyone in the shop was smiling, they knew what was coming :) I wont be going anywhere else for my fish and chips after this.

On holiday locally at swallows barn, this chip shop was reccomended as a stop off instead of cooking, great sausage and chips with friendly service. Resonable prices and selection, parking outside.

Great food and service. The Food was crispy but not greasy. They cook most things fresh, so there will be a few minutes wait. But well worth the wait. They do not accept cards, but they didn't make a big deal out of it. I placed my order and they directed me to the nearest cash point. Highly recommended.

Only thing that a found a bit annoying after ordered my food every time a local popped in and the staff knew them i had to wait longer as it seemed the locals had priority.

This is now my go to place for Fish and Chips, everything is fish and the chips are always good quality.

This chippy is good. Good prices, good variety, good service handy opening hour of 4:15 pm. The only thing I do not like is that they serve THE most disgusting saveloys I have EVER tasted. Utter mush. It was so mushy that the skin served as a tunnel to scrape the 'sausage' out with your teeth. You could not bite the sausage at all. It obviously had too high a bread content, too low a meat content and as usual with many cheaper saveloy sausages, too much pepper. My dog will eat anything and I wouldn't even give it to him after two bites. I threw it in the bin. This was definitely the WORST saveloy I have ever had in my life.

Came here today for the first time. Quite simply the best fish and chips I've had for years. Superb service all round.

Picked up pre ordered take away meals for 9 people. Beautiful quality fish well cooked in a light batter. All freshly cooked, hot and appetising. Friendly service and good value too. Thank you!

Nothing is to much trouble, I work with people with learning disabilities who like the fish to be skinless and they always accommodate without question. Ring ahead as timings matter to our clients and they are always ready when I arrive. Thank you. Matt

Had fish & chips from Stowupland Fish Shop for the first time. The owner and staff were very helpful. Will defiantly use again Excellent

People travel some distance to buy from here - for good reason. The quality is consistently excellent, modest prices and the only downside is having to queue because they are almost-always so busy. Highly-recommended!

Best local chippy and friendly staff. Can get quite busy but even so have never had to wait too long.

Our local chippy, and good fish and chips it does. Often a big queue on friday evenings, but that's a good sign. Once the fish / chips are ready they soon get everyone served

Great fish, great chips, great service. What more can I say. Nothing is to much trouble. Lots of choice fish, pies, sausages and much much more.

Always good quality fish at a sensible price. Owner and staff all very friendly. You can have a really good chat with the locals while your fish is in the fryer.

Maravillosa comida caliente incluso después de 15 minutos de camino a casa, con un fantástico servicio y excelentes precios. Sería muy difícil encontrar un lugar mejor para pescado y patatas alrededor.

Mejor pescado y patatas fritas que he tenido y personal muy contento, puedes llamar y colocar una orden y se preparan frescos para usted. Su salsa curry es increíble!

Mejor venda alrededor. La gente hacía cola para llegar. Son crujientes patatas fritas pero suaves. pasta es el mismo, el pescado siempre fresco. gustos

La comida excelente, la gente es excelente, el servicio excelente. ¿Qué más necesita ser dicho. Parece que no es suficiente para contar cartas, pero una vez más, ¿Qué más necesita ser dicho

Viajamos desde Norwich cada semana, ya que este es el mejor fish and chips por millas, por mucho, el mejor servido por el pescado y la gente chip. Si tienes peces, una tarta o una salchicha de la calidad es de primera categoría. La masa se deshace en la boca al igual que el pescado. De visita obligada. Sr. Norwich

El pescado es la degustación siempre frescas y el bateador es ligero, patatas fritas son cocinados a la perfección y el personal es tan cálido y amable. He probado el otro chippys en Stowmarket y alrededores y este es, de lejos, nuestro favorito

Servicio amable (donde siempre saben tu nombre) mejor pescado y patatas fritas que se puede obtener en Stowmarket. Puede llegar a estar muy concurrida así que evita la Q teléfono tu pedido

A bit off the beaten track but always good, family owned and run and if you like the chips they'll sell you a hundredweight sack of spuds to make your own!

This place is consistently good, great service with a smile. Would recommend this shop over pretty much all of stowmarkets fish and chip shops.

I go here Offton lovely fish n chips If you like good food pay a visit I phone my order through as sometimes you have to wait.

You need to order your fish before joining the queue as it is usually cooked to order - so never dried out, always spot-on. The banter in the queue is often entertaining too which is a bonus. Highly recommended.

On holiday so googled and found this fish and chip shop. Had to wait for my order which was freshly fried and I must say that the fish and chips were excellent, staff very friendly and the shop was clean and tidy. Easy parking. The only down side was the mushy peas which were bland with hardly any flavour of peas. I still think it deserves five stars for the quality of the food.

yes you have to wait but it's well worth it,the staff are friendly,the food is fresh and reasonably priced,wouldn't go any where else.

A good fish and chip shop. Fish is good quality and usually fried to order. Shop is clean and tidy, staff are friendly. Some parking on forecourt but no parking restrictions on the road so most people park there. Allow yourself a few minutes as the shop is usually busy. There is no restaurant. 'Take-away' only.

been shopping so decided to have fish and chips and where is best fish and chips in stowmarket area stowupland fish ordered when you enter so is cooked fresh great to eat outside in the car out of paper briilliant

One of the best F&C shops in the area, Fish cooked to order and always fresh. Staff are always friendly. Good value for money and there is always a queue which is the best indicator there is.

Lovely food and lovely staff! Food is always beautifully cooked. Lovely big portions and great value for money! Staff are always happy to put food in for you if you ask so it's ready for when you come to pay. Great place!!

Gorgeous fish and chips from here, best I've had. Extremely friendly staff. Anyone know the girls name that serves in the evening?

This local chippie is handy and friendly. As always, today, fish and chips are hot and delicious. Good menu too.

Love this F&C shop, the chips are amazing and the fish is always fresh and tastes really good. Always a long que but don't mind waiting as it shows how good it is. Will definetly be back.

Best fish and chips for miles. Local family run business and better than any other chip shop in Stowmarket and surrounding areas.

Stopped one evening to pick up cod & chips and Rock & chips for 4 people. Shop itself very modern and clean. Lots of people queuing so assumed must be good. Chips were OK but both fishes were grey fleshed and tasteless. Some portions were definitely over cooked as fish had no moisture left and looked almost burnt. Long time since eaten bad fish n chips. Won't be returning.

This is a great fish & chip shop all freshly cooked,good staff,not over priced,very good choice.You have to wait for your fish to be cooked but it is not long,and is very very good you will go back again.

Without doubt the best piece of Haddok Ihave had in ages. It was cooked to order, not rushed, and was worth the wait. Chips too were lovely, and the staff very polite. A great Friday night experience. I would recommend a visit this chippy.

Lovely fresh fish and chips from this place. Staff always friendly. Fish always cooked lovely with excellent batter. a must for any one who has not been there.

Went there for the first time last Friday on recommendations from others. When we unwrapped the fish and chips at home the chips were rather soft and greasy and really not tasty. The fish was very light battered which was ok. The portions were good. I don't think we will be back again as we had better elsewhere in Stowmarket.

Best fish & chips in the area, fish cooked to order & extremely fresh, only gripe is the que because it's so popular so be prepared to wait.

Always busy but as the fish is usually cooked to order you can't complain. High quality fish and generous portions of chips.Very pleasant staff

Lengthy wait as all food cooked to order. However, a realtreat to find rock eel. Was good. More expensive than some town fish and chip shops.

Lovely fish and chips! Never found a single bone in my cod! Friendly and Not overpriced. Highly recommend.

Great fish & chips, staff very friendly, very busy! Used at lunch time and tea, Hubby likes the battered burger!

This is my regular place for fish and chips and it is excellent. Friendly staff and lovely chips! Never fails to disappoint. Keep up the good work!

Fresh fish, Cod, Plaice, Haddock, Skate and Rock Eel (Huss), not discounting burgers, sausages, pancake rolls etc. Sizes of the fish for most pallets or special size if you talk to Martin the owner who will try to oblige.

Quite simply the best fish and chip shop in the area. The food quality is excellent and the service is top notch. You won't taste better fish and chips.

Great Fish and Chips, never disappoints, has got to be one of the best Fish and Chip shops in East Anglia. All freshly cooked.

The last time I ate here was when I was 18 on a lunch break at high school. That was 12 years ago. I recently was visiting family in the area and happened to drive by at lunch time. Fantastic chips

Just moved to area. Saw the reviews and was not disappointed. Good old fashioned service with a smile. Will return

Went on the off-chance. The fish is freshly cooked to order and the chips are great. Service is excellent. I will return.

We have used this fish and chip shop many times and have always had a fantastic meal . The service is very good and always served with a smile.

The service was excellent, friendly, courteous and great fun, will both recommend and returnFish and chips are better than any in the area and equal to the best in East AngliaGreat atmosphere, all the food was freshly cooked.Fish and chips were the best, as said highly recommend

Usually stop for fish and chips if I am late home after shopping and Stowupland fish shop never disappoints, there is a little wait as everything is cooked to order, the fish is always fresh and the chips perfect

Quite simply the best fish and chips around. Great value and quality with friendly service. Be prepared to wait for your fish to be cooked or order first!

We have eaten fish & chips at many establishment in the Eastern counties, and this particular establishment is by far the best. I believe it's all in the batter recipe, which is delicious. I might be wrong, but it could be a 'Tempura' type recipe? The only downside is the time you have to wait, if you haven't a pre-ordered meal. However, the wait is well worth while, and I highly recommend this chippy.

Great chippy but not as good as it once was price wise you can't go wrong. Fresh fish 90% of the time Savaloy only thing that I don't enjoy as there microwaved And no gravy or beans!

The chips taste like the inside of Borris Johnsons left testie, and i would rather lick the queens muff whilst being violently fisted by Prince Charles than eat that dry rubbish they call fish.

This place is great, they do wonderful fish and chips with great service. Friday nights can be a bit busy, but it's worth the wait. Much of the fish is cooked to order and they have a good selection of fish in different sizes suitable for all appetites.

Called in here by chance,and I am glad I did all freshly cooked to order,proper chips like I've not had for years and wrapped up in newspaper.what more could you want.I will definitely be returning.

No need to visit the coast as these are fresh and the tastiest chips in Mike. Have been to award winning chippys and Stowupland still beats them by far. Martin and his workers aim to please.

We can only tell about the fish and chips as we only went once.The portions were more than adequate and were reasonably priced.Service was quick in spite of being busy.

My hubby and I called in here as have done before many times. We have always in the past rang our order through then collected about half hour later. On this occasion we had walked from town (about 2miles) and as chippy was on route to home called in. We had to order the large cod even though they had only been open about an hour had to wait while it was cooked about 20 mins plus. I guess we've never noticed this before due to ordering in advance but do feel they should have all sizes fish ready cooked for customers especially early in the evening. That said I would def recommend as the food was and always is exceptional, but I do know of customers they have lost by not pre cooking some fish at peak times.

Great fresh fish and chips and good friendly service. Nothing too much trouble. Thank you to Martin and Staff.

Great fish - always fresh and freshly cooked. The chips are great too -tasty and generous portions. The only down side is the wait - it is always busy, but that speaks for itself!

Fish is usually cooked to order so make sure you put your order in as soon as you go in. Be prepared to wait for 10 minutes or more whilst the fish is cooked and be warned that it can get very busy with school children at lunch time. Having said that the fish is superb - in my humble opinion far better than the famous Aldeburgh fish and chips which tend to be greasy. I have always found the chips to be excellent and one portion is more than enough for 2 (especially for those on a token diet!).Service is great with lots of friendly banter and price is very reasonable.

We've been here twice, once wasn't very gd chips were very overdone, but they redeemed themselves the second time as they were lovely!

great service although extremely busy when open so be prepared to que. food is of great standard and always fresh, still wrapped the traditional way in newspaper. The best fish and chip shop I have found for years. Well done, good old fashioned service, just as we like it.

Tiny shop on village green belies the quality and taste of the food produced, genuine and delicious fish and chips served in newspaper.

Great chip shop!! The best chip shop around sometimes best to pre order as it's so busy but food is always lovely and fresh.
