The Big Fish in Flintshire

Staying at the Jacobean manor for big celebration! We needed chips to accompany food we already had Called in The Big Fish.. lovely staff fun chatting with the guy serving our food We ordered 12 boxes & 4 curry sauces all served up in 3 mins from receipt on till.. must say the best chips we have tasted like being at the seaside as a kid.. Thanks big fish you made our night

Best chippy that I know around Mold. Always busy, quick service.

Overpriced for what I received, there must be a potato shortage,as the chips would not have satisfied a child, never mind an adult. I did mention it to a member of staff and they said that's all they were allowed to serve and agreed it wasn't right.

Best fish and chips we've had in the area. Fresh and not overly priced. The sweet curry sauce is delicious!

Should of taken photos, but definitely not the nicest fish and chips we have had. The fish is not cooked fresh, the batter was really crispy and dried out. The chips weren’t great either definitely not freshly cooked very greasy. My daughter’s chicken burger was the only item that was cooked to order. Really disappointed

Couldn’t think of any possible way they could improve gorgeous food, lovely staff !!

Brilliant and amazing food always

Always visit when in the area. Everything I’ve tried has been great. Would recommend give it a try.

Beautiful food 😋 great service 👌

Great chips and lovely fish reasonably priced

Some places are just the "standard" in their town and The Big Fish has been and will be for the foreseeable future.

Really lovely. The fish tasted so fresh! The peas and curry were both delicious. Sorry I never tried the gravy, judging from the other reviews.

Great friendly service , great size portions Beautiful every time

Gluten free Thursday. Fish and chips were amazing. We are visiting the area from Dundee and this chipshop did not disappoint. Very well done

Nice and friendly service, and the best fish and chips I've had in a while

Amazing places, Great prices. Polite staff

The people who work here are very nice and greet us every time we come in. The food is nice . I also like the pictures on the wall they make me smile. I bully my dad to bring me here. Hunter (age 10)

We did Gluten Free Thursday. My God: the batter!! It is superb!! Portion size excellent. Dad and I were in heaven. OH had 'normal' fish and chips, and saysage ...with the gravy he forgot he could get in Wales. He too was impressed. Staff were friendly. The signs clearly alert coeliacs to the fact wheat is on the premises. And we were told what items were GF and which were not We will be back.

Great food and great service, even when you rock up 5 minutes before close!

Wonderful staff and delicious Food..keep up the good work..!

Just read that another person had problems with the fish batter. On two previous occasions the batter was too thick and not cooked on the inside. This time I pointed out my previous problems to the young man doing the cooking. He offered to take a previously cooked fish and put it back in the oil, which he did. Arrived home and looked forward to tucking into my meal. This time the batter was hard and clearly over cooked. The cod had largely disappeared. Not a good experience. On my way to Mold I had decided to go to another Fish & Chip shop. Sadly he was closed, but I will find out when he is open.

Perfect portion sizes and well cooked food. Service is super fast and well organised, even when it's busy at 5.30pm!

Rip off. Cold pie that I wouldn't give my dog. About 15 pukewarm chips. Half a pot of cold curry sauce with a hair. Overpriced rubbish. If your charging top top prices the food should be at least half descent.

Worst fish and chips ever. Soggy, lukewarm chips with a strange flavour. Disgusting

I was so pleased to hear about Gluten-Free Thursdays but sorry that the times clash with the lad's karate class in Chester. So I took advantage this evening as he wasn't well enough to go and put an order in for gf fish and chips for all of us. It is difficult eating out when you're a Coeliac and you're often left disappointed with the lack of knowledge and ignorance of some food establishments but, let me tell you, these guys are on it and they also invite you to read a disclaimer, clearly displayed, about [possible] cross-contamination. I've been a Coeliac for 50 years now so I'm used to disappointment but these guys and their fish and chips, and the curry and the peas, certainly did not disappoint. I will be back at some point soon for sure. Thanks guys! 😊

Had an order of four fish and chips tonight and three lots mushy peas - I wish we hadn’t. I have never ever had such awful batter, it was thicker than the fish and felt like a layer of thick gunk. The fish itself was fine but the batter totally spoilt it. Whilst we like a good portion of chips we’d rather have a bit less and therefore not all stuck together and soggy. The mushy peas were more like mushy pea soup. I cannot judge the service or atmosphere as someone else picked the order up but I would not chance ordering from this place again, food is too important to ruin like this and money for it doesn’t grow on trees. We’re here on holiday and won’t be back again anyway but if anyone asks where to go for a reliable decent fish and chips in the area I would not recommend using this establishment. Fish and chips does not mean batter with some fish and chips.

Felt compelled to leave a 5* review after the incredible staff fulfilled a huge order. So polite and hard working and the fish and chips were 10/10 too.

Amazing gluten free fish n chips. Lovely staff. Definitely will make it a regular Thursday thing. The new owners are working really hard. The place is spotlessly clean as well. The normal fish ain’t bad either.

Fantastic Gluten Free fish and chips on Thursday night, really enjoyed them. Very knowledgeable staff gave us confidence in the GF credentials. Best we have ever had. Thank you

Im gluten free, and have been for over 15 years. So I have struggled to get a fish and chip take out thats gluten free. After hearing about big fish doing a gluten free night I took the opportunity to give it ago. It tasted so good. The batter was really crispy, and portion sizes were very good too. They were really accommodating and made sure to re ask/tell the order again to make sure they'd got it right. They are really knowledgable gluten free and made sure to let me know of any risks etc..... I will definitely be making a trip back there.

The best gluten free fish and chips I have had. So crispy. They also do GF curry sauce. Reasonably priced and so yummy. They only do gluten free on Thursdays but so happy that they have started doing it.

Absolutely amazing staff it's become my regular and only chippy I use now and I'm so proud of all the staff to see how you dealt with it when it was busy and there was not one thing went wrong got a perfect system between them and get you sorted as quickly as possible 1000/1000 staff are brilliant I'm so proud of them all food was spot on and amazing and on point xx

Came here on the way home after a late night in work, nearly time for the staff to close the shop but I still received a lovely welcome. Ordered a fish & chips, fish was cooked fresh in a short wait and was piping hot. Really lovely meal, couldn’t fault it. The best in the area. Thank you x

Always been a fan of the big fish, but today was so disappointing. The chips were hard, batter cooked too much - sorry! I also bought a sausage for the dog and this was cooked too much, not sure if under new management as I don't get take out very often and felt like I wasted my money as threw half of it away 😔

My new local goto for fish n chips. Reasonably priced, beautiful taste.

Fantastic quality & service every time

Lovely food always cooked amazing and full of flavour. All staff always lovely anytime we go there definitely the best chippy around 😊

Best chippy in Mold by far and really friendly staff

Always fresh and tasty best chippy around 🙂

Amazing food & friendly staff. Have never been disappointed. Food is always tasty.

Delicious food with great and quick customer service, they all seem to know what they’re doing even when they are busy - fair play to them. Atmosphere is great too, always nice clean and presentable.

Lovely chippy and best fish & chips, expanding range and such friendly staff

Friendly staff, food is brilliant especially when you don’t want to cook brilliant value for money ………….

Absolutely delicious food. Always fresh and hot with lots of options.

Brilliant food fish is fresh and a nice sized portion. We live in holywell and we travel to mold just for the fish and chips as its the nicest fish and chip shop we have found

Always the best fish around, We travel from Wrexham as its akways worth the drive.

Had food from here a few times, always great quality

I remember, me and my friend being about 15 and we would often go into big fish just for a sausage to eat whilst walking round town. They are still the best place to get proper chippy chips. We are a family of 7 and we are always happy with our order. My husband really likes the pies 🥧 😋 Always smells lovely when walking past and is busy with customers 🙂

Food is lovely and customer service is excellent

Fantastic food at fantastic prices

The food is always hot, fresh and delicious with great service

Amazing service friendly staff amazing foos

Can’t fault Big Fish food and service is always spot best chippy in our area

I live in Holywell so to travel to Mold for this chippy shows how nice it is.

Lovely staff. Fab food. Great prices. Staff are lovely and friendly. Portion sizes are great the food is fab and is always hot. The prices are fair too

Lovely food ...and great service from friendly staff

Best sausage dinner around and the fish is amazing!

Food literally out of this world

Lovely food, staff are always friendly and quick service even when it is mad busy

they have the art of making a small piece of fish look really big with the amount of batter they put in it . The actual fish was really small chips were good but overall too greasy

Always amazing food staff are lovely and helpful shop always spotless best chippy around

Best chippy around, staff great and really helpful, I ordered chips for collection for a party a couple of weeks ago they were all freshly cooked and ready for us

Best chippy in the area, always freshly made and delicious

Beautiful food, very friendly staff and quick service. Would 100% recommend to family and friends for a great night's tea

Sone of the best priced and tastiest fish and chips going

Fantastic chippy. My kids always pick big fish for their birthday tea every year. They also take phone orders which is great when you want to quickly collect.

As regular customers we can not ever fault this place, brilliant service, great friendly staff & fantastic food! 5*

Worst chips ever. Tasted awful. Thankfully I only got sml overpriced chips at £2.20 . The Sea Gulls ate them.

Charged £9 for small chips, peas, gravy, and steak pudding. I didn't realize until I checked my bank statement, as I was quoted £7.70 at the time. I messaged them on Facebook and received a condescending and dismissive response, telling me I must have gone to a different chippy. Check your receipt if you go to this place as they are dishonest.

We’ve just finished our fish and chip suppers from the Big Fish Mold after we were let down by a particular new burger restaurant in town and couldn’t get a walk in table anywhere else on a Saturday night at 8.20pm. The two lads; Gareth and Zach, explained initially that the fryers had already been turned off as they were in the process of shutting up shop for the evening. After I briefly explained our predicament, they told us to sit down and chill out while they *turned everything back on* in order to cook us an emergency dinner! It was fresh, delicious, nicely prepared and really, really appreciated. Thank you to the big fish and to your friendly and dedicated team. Cheers!

Just had 'large' fish and chips. Unfortunately the fish was small and not cheap. Need to change your name to the SMALL FISH! Ordered F & c, fishcake, peas and curry, cost £12. Might be giving this chippy a miss for a few months.

For years this was the best chippy in Mold, in weeks after a change of ownership its bar far the worse. Call in at tea time there is no queue which says it all. Food is utter rubbish.

Have had a few meals from this place, since moving to Mold recently, and have been underwhelmed on each occasion; but yesterday's offering will be the last time we will waste our money here. Chips are undercooked, and fish is dried up. Our meals came incomplete last night, and instead of putting in a tray, they were thrown in paper...The final straw was the gravy; it had the taste and consistency of dirty dishwater. All our meals were thrown in the bin; complete waste of money. Finally, I contacted The Big Fish on Facebook, to complain, but my comment was deleted, and I was subsequently ignored! Absolutely disgusting! Safe to say, we will be going elsewhere for our Friday night chippy from now on!!

We were looking forward to our chippy tea all week, never known mold to have a good chippy and after reading some good reviews we thought we would give it a whirl. The chips were good, but the paper was stuck to the food so it was a bit inconvenient pealing it off. Ordered a large sausage and we were given two small ones, not fussed but still not ideal. We would go back again to be fair but not in a hurry!

The worst fish and chips we have ever had. Not been to the big fish since new owners took over. I hope the photo shows what a congealed, fatty mess this was. It was inedible .chips dripping in fat, no tray for the fish and chips so they stuck to the paper and the chips just mush. Absolutely inedible and disgusting.

Picked up 2 x fish and one large chips. Chips were not edible, obviously yesterdays, in fact they looked a week old. Chips were cold. Fish was edible but only just. Such a shame used to be really good. Will not be visiting again.

Service was much improved after previous owners but food was left with need for improvement. Chips were good but over salted and the fish was poor with batter too thick and cake like consistency.. Fish needs to be cooked to order with a lighter batter.

First visit since new owners have taken over. Food was good but prices are extortionate, small chips, small sausage, gravy £4.40! I won’t be going back anytime soon

The Big Fish reopened yesterday, thought we’d give it a try, spotlessly clean, very pleasant staff, HUGE fish and chips, I opted for a doner Wrap which was very tasty indeed, will be back for more, after avoiding the place for years Good luck ,...

Service was terrible without a smile a thanks and the salt and vinegar barely made the chips. The food was really poor and totally over cooked. It felt all too rushed and no regard for food or customer. Certainly don’t recommend.

Lovely fresh chips staff always friendly. Reasonably priced food. Been going for years always enjoy the chips from here.

Service is always quick and friendly. One of the best chippy’s in Flintshire. Great choice of food and drinks.Will definitely be returning again.

Worst fish and chips ive ever tasted i had to throw them out greasy chips warmed up not fresh waste of £6.30 the fish was as bad the price was for a small fish and chips wont be going there again

What has happened to this chippy? Use to be decent but tonight had fish and chips that had obviously been stood there for a while. Fish was disgusting, didn’t even taste of fish, soggy batter, chips were warmed up and the mushy peas just plonked...

Old school chip shop, massive portions freshly cooked and well priced. Meal deals are excellent value, staff friendly.

The worst chips I have ever tasted. Over cooked and a dreadful taste of cooking oil. AVOID. Also expensive as well.

Fantastic, lovely fresh tasty fish, crispy chips and lovely service! Yummy yummy! Best in Wales! Thank you. Xx

Best fish shop and brand in town very good valued food for little money 💵 and have very hard working brilliant staff filled with advertisement and confinement food is good value

Had their takeaway haddock & chips during shopping trip to Mold, the first in 8 weeks so I was looking forward to it. I usually go for haddock instead of cod as it is always freshly cooked but obviously takes another 5 minutes, which I...

Vile mouldy food when I complained the girl behind the counter insulted me. I will never step foot in this place again rude staff nasty food avoid at all costs.

Had fish chips and peas never again absolutely disgusting went in the bin. .tasteless fish inedible greasy chips which had been cooked several times and warmed up

We go to the big fish regularly as the haddock and chips is the best, staff are helpful and always have a smile for you, sam cooks the fish to perfection, so a big thankyou to them all, john & gaynor beattie.

I can honestly say that these are the best fish and chips around! The fruity curry sauce is a winner too!

Prior to their quick shutdown I found their chips unedable after only on one occasion.After the refit, I thought I'd give them another go. Chips a lot better, but same misinformed information. I'd say "small chips please" & they'd give me the standard sized portion without any indication of not doing small sizings or cone-esk portions. Some people don't want a whole tray of chips to munch at mid-day!!!.I gave em the benefit of the doubt & went back again. Same scenario, same situation. "SMALL chips please, LARGE sausage". I watched the girl dish out the chips into the tray & I said I'd asked for "small chips" & she just shrugged & said we only do one size.So hence me one star. One star for providing me with a fried lunch, but in terms of customer relations, they may as close the doors permanently cos I think they are crap.

We drove along the street looking for a parking space, but there were double yellow lines everywhere. Mold obviously doesn't encourage drivers to stop outside the takeaways or shops. Eventually found a space 100 yards up the road.The Big Fish was very busy, all the staff were friendly, chatting away, to their customers, with a smile. They were quick at wrapping up customer's orders so it didn't take long to be on our way.We ordered two x Haddock (£4), two x large portion of chips (£2.20), a large mushy peas (£1), and a sausage (£1.20), plus a large hot curry (£1), and a small fruity curry (80p) for takeaway.The food was well wrapped with everything piping hot.The fish were a reasonable size with thin batter. The batter wasn't particularly nice, soggy and greasy, the fish inside were thin. The chips were cut very small, like scratchings, probably the smallest chips we've ever had. They didn't taste very nice, and they were greasy.The sausage was fine.The mushy peas, the fruity curry, and the hot curry were also fine.To sum up, although quite cheap, The Big Fish wasn't very good value, the fish were small inside the batter, and the chips were cut by somebody trying to make potatoes stretch as far as they can. There are plenty of good reviews so maybe we caught them at a bad time. Fish (Haddock) 3/10 Sausage 10/10Mushy Peas 10/10 Fruity Curry 10/10Hot Curry 10/10Chips 1/10

This is a really good Fish & Chip shop located in Mold town centre. The Fish and chips are really good and they even have some tables so you can "eat in"

Usually lovely chips, but meal I have just bought was cold. Would have took it back only that I needed to go to work. Very. Disappointed will not be returning.

Staff are lovely in the chip shop, and sam always makes us a beautiful lightly battered fish, chips are not greasy and they are generous with the portion, would defo recommend best chippy in mold gay n john beattie.

One of the best chip shops we have ever visited. Decided to stop here for fish and chips on the way home from our holiday cottage. As lovely as ever - hot , fresh tasty food served with a smile!!

Chips are pre-cooked for convenience definitely not for taste! Fish is tasteless as is the batter. Only saving grace is that the staff, Not the owners! are kind, polite and chatty.
