The California Traditional Fish and Chips in Sutton

The two females who work there serving have absolutely no idea what day it is. They bag up, put it down when someone else comes in and serves them leaving the half bagged up chips going cold. Customer said is that mine, female said oh sorry and this continues. I watched them while waiting 35 minutes for my food because they forgot about mine. Two females keep looking and checking the tickets, someone else comes in to be served, they're distracted by server and re=check what they are meant to be doing. An ABsolute shambles. BTW, my food was cold. They have no clue what they are doing whatsoever. I've been in many chippys in my life, this is the worst I have ever had to encounter.

Not as good as used to be fish good chips have changed taste like oven chips dry.Not very friendly staff think will go elsewhere in future such a shame as try to support business locally .

Used to love this fish and chip shop but for some reason the service has gone right downhill recently. I was the first to order when the shop opened and yet waited over half an hour for my food (nothing complicated - 2 fish and chip suppers) whilst they concentrated on people who made larger orders after me. One lady took telephone order after telephone order whilst they couldn’t get my existing order out and the other lady stood chatting on her mobile. Not to mention the fact the portions are considerably smaller than they used to be. On our last visit my other half waited a longtime in the pouring rain too for our order so it’s clearly not a one off issue. Food was nice enough but certainly not worth the time spent waiting. Sadly I won’t be shopping local for our fish and chips in future and will order from another chippie.

Have been here many times .On a recent trip the food was rubbishwont be going back. It served lovely food i guess the chef has change . no two chefs cook the same the chef they have or had on the day we went should be sacke

Delicious fresh fish and chips cooked to order. Good size portions too. Perfect meal during lockdown.

Lovely food, cooked to order - great service You won’t find better. We are regulars and even Open during Lockdown

They're still open and still serving great food. This place deserves to be busy and needs our custom. A great local chippy.

Best fish and chips in town! The beauty is in the freshness of the fish and the fact that they are never greasy. Lovingly cooked to order.

After having a bit of a problem with our Christmas Day booking it was eventually sorted. We arrived on the day and experienced a good meal. The service was excellent and the people were very friendly. The only down side I would say is that their gluten free option is not really an option it is a meal with the gluten free food taken off your plate rather than replaced with a gluten free alternative. I did however, take my own pigs in blankets, stuffing and Yorkshire puddings so that the 3 people in the group that were gluten free did not feel left out and I also took my own gluten free crackers for the cheese and biscuits. The food that was offered was very tasty and the surroundings were very appropriate for the occasion.

Loved the quality of the food. But think the portions could be bigger. Avreage meal 10 pounds which is acceptable. Thank you

.we had a take away as it is not a restaurant. The food is always good and freshly cooked so food does not sit around for too long,

Food is okSometimes better than notBut a bit hit and miss. Otherwise very average.The good thing is that the food is cooked to order, the bad thing is the wait! Shop opens at 5.30 , the fryers are not ready at that time, they go on as the shop opens , so the wait can be very long at first opening.Portions of chips are small. Menu options are good , but most just want a decent bit of fish, crisp chips and value for money- mmmmmm not great , but not sure either.Premises clean so you can eat in if desired.

If you haven't tried this place out for fish and chips do. Everything very fresh. Good chips and crispy batter on fish. Best I've had.

Have not been for some time what have we missed!! Great value crispy crunchy chips fabulous. Great service always cooked to order. We have already been back a second time.

Best to pre-order by phone.We did so and when we arrived the food was being boxed up.

Popped in after picking up kids from school on a Friday. We went a couple more times during the week. The chips were excellent day-in day-out. The portions are generous also. If you like fish batter (if you eat tail first then you know what I am talking about), I recommend fish bites because they give you crunchy fish every bite.

Good quality fish, freshly cooked with crispy chips, all served carefully and consistently.

We have been going here for over a year to get our fish 'n' chips as it was recommended to us by our neighbours. The fish and chips are always freshly cooked, the prices are reasonable, and you can order it over the phone. Very tasty nosh.

Ho vissuto in Sutton per circa un anno e The California Fish and Chips era a 5m da casa l'ho frequentato parecchio! Sempre buono, mai pesante, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo proprietario veramente gentilissimo, non è paragonabile ad altri posti in cui sono stata. Ve lo consiglio!

I was amazed not to find this place on Trip Adviser. I've bought fish and chips here for years. In my opinion they sell the best fish and chips in Sutton. The fish is exceptionally fresh and is cooked to order. Their batter is light and crispy and keeps the fish beautifully flaky. (It is not cooked in advance and held on a warming plate until it becomes dry and greasy, as a lot of chippies do - yuk!)The chips too, are cooked to order and are chunky and fluffy inside. There is a good menu, so apart from a wide variety of fish you can also order chicken nuggets and beefburgers, onion rings and calamari, pies and sausages. It sells most cold drinks, straight from a fridge , plus sachets of e.g. ketchup. The fish and chips are packaged to go, in cardboard boxes with a sachet of tartare sauce and a wedge of fresh lemon, the boxes help to keep the fish intact and the batter stays crispy. The chips are sold in really lovely thick bags which keep them hot and fresh until you get home. Beware -
