What an amazing plaice to dine! The food is absolutely SUPERB & fresh with a smile included, if I was to think of an old school chippie this is where I go! I am now a regular customer and never looked back! Totally worth it and they have a wide selection of offerings.

Very poor service. Took ages to be served. I waited at least 20 minutes before receiving my order. And when I did the chips were cold. Will never return.

Went for fish and chips, had a peace of Haddock that was ok, ( freshly cooked ) but the chips were absolutely rubbish, it was as though they were cut in a cheese slice, just not proper size chips, how they won best in Reading defeats me, thus will not be going again, a total rip off.

We visited this place for a take away fish and chips in the spring of 2023. As the quality of the fish was beyond awful we agreed never to go back again. Yesterday evening on the way back home we decided to have a fish and chips and my wife, having researched the best chippies in Reading, again decided to give Tasty Plaice a second chance. If only we had not. We paid more than £20 pounds for fish and chips. The chips was ok no problem there (however we were charged medium and asked for/given only a small chips), but the fish.... Jesus, if was mainly batter anyway but even the batter wasn't edible. It was a chewy mess... Actual fish was bone dry and could be found only in traces inside the horrid batter. I almost chocked on it. I don't understand how this place was voted Reading's best fish and chips. We will never go back again. Please up your quality and this is just not good enough compared to what we had at the sea side and other chippies in Reading. Go to the one near the four-letter supermarket in Tilehurst. That's cosmic light years away in quality. Even from the low cost supermarket you can but a lot better quality frozen fish and chips.

This used to be a great fish and chip shop, we used it a lot, but tonight it was terrible. The fish was very overcooked, batter like concrete and fish dried up. The chips were not the best either. We will try once more next week, if it’s the same we will have to look for somewhere else.

Myself and my partner tried to call this evening to place a telephone order as we normally do? We couldn’t get through on the phone so decided to just call into the establishment and order it. We placed our order over the counter, which was a doner kebab and chips with Mayo and a doner kebab chips with lettuce chilli Mayo and ketchup and 2 sausages for our dogs. We waited as our order was prepared and took it home. When we got home? We unwrapped everything to realise that my doner kebab meat was in fact chicken tikka meat (which I don’t eat) with chips and Mayo. The girls serving were so busy worrying about online orders that I was given the lady In front on me’s order whilst waiting for our own. Very disappointed…. It’s all well and good taking online orders? But you need to make sure that doesn’t distract from your steady business also.

Nothing beats fish and chips at The Tasty Plaice takeaway. The chips are by far the best in the whole of Tilehurst honestly. And the staff are so helpful, friendly and deliver very good customer service. Especially the two young ladies who serve me every time. Would highly recommend their chips and other food. 10/10 ratings.

Usually this place has always done good crispy chicken but yesterday it seemed barely cooked.

I regularly buy fish and chips from this shop. The fish is really superb and of a good size. The chips are ok - you get enough for two people in just a regular portion! The only downside is that from ordering to leaving usually takes around 15 minutes. It is possible to phone beforehand so that it is ready on arrival. At least there are not lots of fish portions being kept warm - it is all cooked to order.

Always a warm welcome here with polite staff, the food is of a good standard and good value for money. If they could get the operation of the counter right it would be excellent. The policy seems to be to take all the orders before starting to serve the customer which means things get a little chaotic. The cooks should really monitor what's going on rather than rely solely on the server trying to manage what is and isn't cooked. This should not detract from the fact that the food is really good, I visit once a week simply because I really enjoy the food.

Second time I we have been really disappointed with the food. The chips were rock hard and looked like they had been recooked. Hardly any batter on the fish and just tasted awful. £23 for food that was thrown away. If we had of been in a restaurant we would have sent it back. Used to be good, wont be coming back.

Amazing fish and chips, really glad I discovered this place. The food was up there with the very best I have ever had out of the countless chip shops I have tried up and down the country. Got to be the best in Reading and probably Berkshire too. Expertly cooked to order with quality ingredients getting every aspect just right. Light, crisp batter with tender fresh cod inside with the best chips I have had in a very long time - chunky thick cut, nice golden brown colour, crisp on the outside and soft potato inside. Both the fish and the chips were well drained and not greasy. Cod, small chips and mushy peas cost £11.10. Not the cheapest but worth every penny and nice large portion sizes. The food was well packed in a cardboard box so stayed warm and didn’t go soggy at all before eating. The shop looks a bit run down on the outside and isn’t in the nicest part of town, but don’t let that put you off, it’s very clean inside and has 5/5 food hygiene rating. Friendly service and the usual menu choices. This is one of those places that looks like it hasn’t changed in decades, but with food that good there is nothing that needs changing! Highly recommended, I will definitely be back. Cannot fault them, wish it was my local!
