The best fish & chips in the area, and we have tried most of the options around Bath. The portions are on the larger size, but the fish always has a crispy but not too thick batter and the fish is not overcooked. The chips are always good and there are a number of options on the large menu. You can eat in or take away.

The best grilled fish in Bath! Grilled sea bass, baby potatoes and salad with extra virgin olive oil. I don't eat fish and chips but my family have safely said, the best in town. Don't miss stopping off at Robbie's Plaice! And friendly service to top it all. Above all, consistent. Never a bad meal over the years. Excellent value for money.

We ate the freshly cooked fish and chips in the adjoining car park but we did nor enjoy the meal. The chips were soggy and inedible, the fish only ok-ish and no salt and vinegar although requested Not cheap - we will not return

4 of us went to Robbie's a couple of weeks ago, 1 coeliac, 2 vegan + coeliac and one normal eater. All catered for, nothing was too much trouble. I was told the fish was devine, although I didn't have any as I don't eat fish. Really welcoming staff.

Ordered a takeaway over the phone. Good response and advised ready in 15 mins.Collected takeaway -pleasant staff at counter. Paid and returned to my accommodation. That is as good as it gets.The plaice was old, smelt excruciatingly bad and inedible. I could only manage 5%.Chips were a mixture of soggy and uncooked chips - again couldn't eat. Mushy Peas were passable.I would advise not indulging n a takeaway - maybe the restaurant is better. As I was staying on the other side of Bath I couldn't be bothered to return and complain otherwise would have asked for my money back. I've come to the conclusion from talking to friends and relatives that there aren't any decent fish and chip shops in Bath anymore. Oh for the days of fishy Evans, top of Avondale Road and Leakeys...

Regularmente disfrutamos de platos de pescado y patatas fritas para llevar, de Robbie's Plaice.Esta noche, decidimos "comer en casa" por primera vez desde el cierre de Covid - 19. Llamamos con anticipación para asegurarnos de que estaba bien para bajar, y cuando llegamos, encontramos una mesa reservada para nosotros.Al pasar por la puerta principal y escanear el código QR, nos impresionaron de inmediato las medidas de Covid y la limpieza. Nos recibió Anna y nos llevaron a nuestra mesa. Anna también tiene una libreta para tomar detalles, si no pudo escanear el código QR.El menú ha sido revisado y ahora incluye algunos pudines, que incluyen, entre otros, un bizcocho de chocolate y un pudín de caramelo pegajoso (elegí helado con él). Teníamos bacalao y patatas fritas y hamburguesa de 1/2 lb con unas patatas fritas (mi elección).Tomamos una taza de té cada uno, luego Americano con los budines.Toda la comida fue genial, y el personal fue genial.Enhorabuena a Roberto, Anna y Danny, por una hermosa visita. Ojalá hubiéramos dejado una propina sin contacto, ya que no teníamos efectivo.Tenga en cuenta que, como el restaurante sirve alcohol, debe cerrar a las 22:00, de acuerdo con las directivas de Covid.Bien hecho,Chris

Llamé un lunes por la noche y fue servido rápidamente. También fue genial durante estos tiempos de Covid ver un amplio desinfectante de manos para uso de los clientes y una gran cantidad de señalización para mostrar a las personas dónde pararse y qué camino tomar.Pedimos bacalao y patatas fritas recién hechas, mientras esperábamos. Viajamos a casa, aproximadamente una milla y desempacamos nuestra sabrosa cena, que todavía estaba muy caliente. La masa era agradable y crujiente y las patatas fritas estaban simplemente deliciosas.¡Otra deliciosa comida de Robbie's!

Estábamos perdidos en nuestra reciente visita a Bath ya que los restaurantes locales estaban completamente llenos, así que, por sugerencia de nuestro anfitrión, tuvimos una cena para llevar de bacalao y patatas fritas. La calidad del pescado era excelente y las patatas fritas estaban cocinadas a la perfección y muy sabrosas. Hemos agregado este lugar a nuestra lista de "mantener", ya que cuando la situación de Covid finalmente termine, será nuevamente un gran lugar para comer y para llevar.

Mi pareja y yo visitamos el restaurante hoy y ojalá no nos hubiéramos molestado. El servicio fue mediocre; como si no tuvieran interés en servirnos. En estos tiempos desafiantes, seguramente el servicio al cliente debería ser primordial. En cuanto a la comida; porciones generosas pero abadejo sin sabor y patatas fritas poco cocidas. Nos aseguraron que habían sazonado ambas porciones de patatas fritas y añadido vinagre; no lo habían hecho. Un viaje de vuelta al café para arreglar; sin disculpas. Falta salsa de tomate, otro viaje. Lo has adivinado; sin disculpas. Si estás buscando cumplidos de mi parte, Danny, estarás esperando mucho tiempo. Por cierto, que te digan que preparas té para llevar y luego que la máquina está rota no es impresionante: la cortesía no es solo una prerrogativa de los príncipes. . .

We ordered over the phone at half 6, ordering 2 cod and chips and another bag of chips, and we was told that it would be a 45 minute wait and to arrive at 7:15, but reassured that phone orders would be prioritised.I arrived at 7:15 and due to social distancing measures, I was told to wait out in the car park and my food would be brought to me shortly.I ended up waiting for 45 minutes while walk in orders were quickly served before me. Not only did they forget my order, several other customers were also waiting just as long as me. I had to prompt the man bringing out the orders twice as they had clearly forgotten me again and weren’t prioritising my order as I was promised and when I spoke the them several times they didn’t apologise at all for keeping waiting.I understand that this is a difficult time and the business has had to adapt to adhere to social distancing measures and I’ll admit that there measures were well done. However these measures have been in place for a few weeks now and these issues should of been ironed out.It was a shame as I have heard good things about this place and now my first visit will always be tainted by the memory of this wait.

Just a quick note to say that tonight we have had our first fish and chips since Robbie's had to close, due to the lockdown.Robbie's is open again, serving take-away. Robbie, Anna and Danny have rearranged the restaurant furniture, to create a one-way socially distanced route to the counter. Place your order from a distance, pay by contactless, and then wait at the back of the premises, and your order will be brought to you. Some people had ordered by phone, which would have been even more convenient.The food was a delight; thanks to the team.Well done for getting the business up and running, and let's stay safe whist enjoying your food.Thank you,Chris.

We were greeted by Danny, and he talked us through today's special, which were Piri Piri Chicken, and Grilled Salmon; both served with chips and salad. Our third dish was cod and chips with gravy.We ordered two Americanos and a cup of tea. Danny listened carefully to our orders, and made some adjustments. The food arrived probably ten minutes, or so later. The chicken was excellent, and exceeded my expectations; the salmon was also well received. The cod and chips is always good.We paid at the end, and the bill was £37. We were given complimentary Elizabeth Shaw mints, for later.Well done, Dan, you're a credit to the business.Chris, Susan and Rose.

Pronto llegaron nuestras encantadoras tazas de té, seguidas un poco más tarde, de carne de kebab, papas fritas y ensalada, y mi compañero comió bacalao, papas fritas y salsa.Ambas comidas estaban muy bien preparadas y presentadas, y esto me llevó a tomarme el tiempo para escribir esta crítica.Pagamos al final, y nos complació recibir un chocolate de menta cada uno, para más tarde.Robbie, Anna, Danny y el personal siempre hacen un excelente trabajo, ya sea "comer" o "llevar".

For many years this eatery has been called the ‘Fat Fryer’ but it has undergone a substantial make-over. It is now quite a smart café with a good alternative menu to the standard fish & chips menu that used to be offered. The rather dowdy and small food order counter in the dining area has gone and replaced by a proper counter. Gone too is the awful neon sign in the window, with its trailing wires to the nearest electrical socket. The seating is less crowded and the ambience, music and décor is vastly improved. The takeaway food bar is still there but that has been smartened-up too.All these improvements have not been reflected in the pricing, which remains very good value. The quality too is excellent: I had the battered haddock and chips which was excellent. Everything was piping hot, the batter on the fish was light, the fish was fresh, nice ‘n juicy and flaked well under the weight of my knife. The chips? Well not too many which was good for me, but again the quality was there, they were freshly cooked and substantial with just the right degree of firmness.The table was adorned with all the usual accompaniments. The meal was served with a small pot of tartare sauce, this wasn’t to my liking: I like this particular sauce to be acidic and this wasn’t. I was able to help myself to water from one of the two water dispensers on the serving counter, one offered plain iced water, and the other (which I chose) was water with several quarters of fresh lemon.My meal took just over 10 minutes to arrive, but that is fine as I prefer to wait for freshly cooked food, and especially so with fish. This was an excellent lunch in very pleasant surroundings.

Consistently good, plump, fresh fish, light crisp batter and ridiculously large portions of chips (1 large is too much for 3 of us). I'm sorry to see reviewers marking the place down because they got a parking fine in the car park behind, which has nothing to do with Robbie's. There's a small free car park a stone's throw across the road, and some on street parking outside. Otherwise, get your 20p at the ready and don't blame the chippy for the parking issues. TripAdvisor should really take those unfair reviews down...

You can also eat in. They are also open for breakfast. Haven’t tried that but I bet it’s good. Great local takeaway.

Recommended by a friend, I was glad it was, as this Pub/Restaurant provides excellent meals. Sunday Roast, or Fresh Tasty Burgers! Plus of course, the Bi-Fold Doors look out on a stunning vista. You need to Book a table, as this is a very popular eatery!

This is our closest take away, about 4 miles to get to it but it’s worth the trip. It has a huge menu and caters for any size appetite. The children enjoy the box meals. They get a drink and a lollipop. As OAPs the smaller size portions of fish and chips are just right especially as they are in a box with mushy peas. The food is always piping hot and freshly prepared.

Don't live in Bath but come down to this chippy very often, the pensioners fish chip mushy peas bread and butter and hot drink is a bargain as well as other foods on the menu boards the chips are what I would call proper chips not the frozen type, always come away from here full up. They also do gluten free battered fish on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Its Changed used to take our Order from the table as we had sat down now we need to go to the Till Place and Pay which is very odd for a Restaurant its like after the War Quinn at a Food Hall with tray Dozens of us or a Canteen so we would like to sit at a table and let them take our order then bring our Meal with the Bill afterwards still I hope Danny is back next time he is the Star.

Este es el único de comida para llevar en Batheaston y la gente es muy amable y servicial - relación calidad-precio es buena, pero la calidad de pescado es un poco inconsistente con el bacalao siendo seco y pappy.

Estuvimos alojados en un hotel de la carretera que no pudimos registrarnos en pero pensamos que habría un desayuno tardío. Fuimos por la calle y tropezamos con la grasa Fray. Fue una agradable sorpresa, un papeo y adecuada en precio razonable. Lo recomendaría!

Traditional Fish and chip shop with a sit down restaurant as well as takeaway. Usefully open all day and sells all the usual fish and chip shop fare plus in the restaurant the option of a cocked breakfast. With generous potions all the food is good value. Everything seems clean and well run so I firmly recommend this chip shop.

The best fish and chips! Food is so fresh and not greasy. They have a great menu with lots of choice. Even have gluten free menu on a Monday and Tuesday.

So the outside is pretty modest looking, and the Fat Friar is best for takeouts (takeaway). We bought the fish and chips, burgers, and chicken kebabs and thought it was pretty good for the price. The chips are great! This was quite close to the cottage that we were renting for vacation, so it was perfect for a quick meal to take back home.

We wanted to use the restaurant facility, however this was unclear as to where to wait for a table or indeed if you just sat down at whichever one you wanted. We decided we should go the main counter which was busy with take out orders, after a little wait the staff told us we had to go to the smaller counter around the corner. We waited again for someone to arrive. By the time they did we already knew what we wanted. So we ordered, little to our knowledge at this point the server went home. After waiting 45mins (with a child)..... (For fish and chips) my husband decided to enquirer about the whereabouts of our meals. The server was most apologetic and within 5mins our dinner was on the table. (I'll add at this point I would have given them a 1 if not for this man.) The food was overcooked, which was a disappointments after the enormous buildup. All in all a pretty poor experience, although I am reliably informed by the locals and by the amount of people getting take out, they do a pretty decent trade.

I used to love a spring roll and chips but the fat in the air is so intense.I don't know how the staff deal with it since I felt I couldn't breath from the fat in the air.

This is a great local takeaway, beautiful fish & chips! The tray specials are also really good value. Always fresh with great chips. Staff here are lovely, always cheerful with a smile, haven't eaten in yet but so convenient as a takeaway.

went and checked this place out on the recommendation of a builder doing some work for me, I had the Big Breakfast and as much as i tried i couldn't finish it, quality of the food was great and the service was awesome as well, had to go back again 7 days later and its just as good. Brilliant, oh and theres parking around the back as well. all in all 10 out of 10

We ordered some fish and chips for our wedding reception and we couldn't have asked for a better place to place our order with. From the start the team were so helpful. But they made our day so so special due to their friendliness and kindness, for that me and my now husband are so grateful. Thank you guys for providing us with the most delicious reception dinner and for your generous hospitality! - Abbey and Will.

I don't know how previous reviews were so positive, the fish itself was dry and chewy, the batter was soggy and had an odd texture. The chips were also soggy. I have had chips here before and they were awfully soggy. Peasedown deserves better.
