This is a great chippy! We arrived on the ferry in the evening into Belfast and went straight to Flash in Bushmills before heading to our hotel in Portrush! Delicious, non-greasy chips and great curry sauce. I usually have chips cheese & gravy but the portion is enormous so went for a small option before bed!! Spotlessly clean and friendly, welcoming staff. See you next time we're over!

Wonderful fish and chips place! Service, cleanliness, and food was fantastic! We had the cod. It was reasonably priced, came with a lot of fries. Truly enjoyable!

Good place for a takeout meal. The chips were great and the Philly steak was pretty darn good - greasy and flavorful, close to how Penn Station makes it. The fish was fresh but the batter fell apart a little too easily. I highly recommend getting the garlic sauce with fish and chips on top of the usual salt and vinegar. The mushy peas were alright. But definitely get their Philly steak!

Our food was ok but definitely wasn't worth the price for two goujon meals and one sausage. I also found a hair in my food. Will not be rushing back.

I came here regularly years ago and it was genuinely excellent. I'm not sure if it has changed hands in recent years but it has gone from first class to just ok in my opinion. The chicken burgers are smaller with baps that fall apart when you eat them. The chicken was nice but I thought a little small for the price. The children's sausage meal was a very good size though. Food was not bad and the service was very good (quite quick and friendly counter staff) but I'm just not sure if I would rush back anymore which is a shame as we always went here on our way back home from day trips to the North Coast

We ate here on a busy Saturday night! The food took a while but we didn't mind because it was so so good! Lovely and fresh! We both got scampi, chips and a tub of curry sauce to dip! It was delicious. The service was great, the staff were lovely and it was nice to see them having the craic with the locals! We can see why it's so highly rated!

Stunning fish and chips. I asked if they used beef fat and they confirmed they did. The chips were crispy but fluffy and flavoursome. The fish was just sublime. Only issue was they only had tartare sauce in sachets. Their product deserved better.

£10:75 for a kebab meal, no drink. Apparently chicken and chips is considered a kebab. Wouldn't recommend. Asked for chilli and got taco.

For the level of influx there was, the food took a long time. More expensive than Howth. The quality of the fish is good but it tasted too much like oil.

We called here on the way through Bushmills and were very happy with the food. The service was good and the food was piping hot. We had fish and chips, 2 x curry chips, and a plain chip with four drinks. It was £36.05 it is a takeaway, only chip shop.

Parking is not ideal but a public car park nearby. Service was friendly. Shop was modern and clean however the door was being kept open resulting in it being freezing. Like every other fish & chip shop in the north coast prices have risen quite a bit. The chicken fillet burgers was over £5 which seems standard now. Was served in a good quality bap with good garnishing. The batter was not too greasy and the burger itself was very tasty. Only negative was the chicken fillet itself was smaller than expected - if normal size the food would have been given 5 stars - looking at the photo it looks bigger than it actually was. Definitely one of the best chip shops in the area.

Good things first People are really good friendly and happy treating the customers. But the food is really not worth the money. Chicken wrap was good. Fish n chips were really bad. Fish was soaked in oil and chips felt old. And coffee was disastrous. Wouldn’t risk to go there again.

Seemed like a welcoming place, attentive service and food was cooked fairly quickly. Just disappointed to see such a bare veggie burger. I understand that the majority of smaller rural fish and chips shops fry in beef dripping and may not wish to pay attention to the few people who are vegetarian but to have just a toasted bun and veggie patty was sad for the price. Even some butter on the buns, cheese, lettuce, tomato or anything else would have been great, especially seeing that the regular burgers have these options, so overall it felt like it wasn't even meant to be on the menu. Without the sauce packets we picked up from the counter, it was very dry and miserable to eat after a long day hiking. I wish I'd taken a picture to show but can only say not to expect much if you are a vegetarian. Otherwise, it looks delicious and great for non-vegetarians!

Искали место покушать, из-за праздника многие рестораны были закрыты, а этот был в самом центре и отзывы были неплохими (непонятно почему). Рестораном это не назовешь, скорее, забегаловка на 2 стола. Мы заказали 2 порции fish and chips и один cheeseburger и заплатили 40 паунтов. Чипсы были несъедобные, в гамбургере, кроме котлеты и кусочка сыра не было ничего, да и булка была никакая. Никаких соусов в пакет не положили.

I’ve visited this takeaway a few times when I’ve been in the area on holiday and never been disappointed; however, this time I was shocked that the price of a fish supper has risen to £14 and a single fish was £9. The quality was ok but certainly not worth those prices which were hard to see with the moving menu board which didn’t include the fish supper price at all! It’s a shame because I won’t be back!

My wife and I where driving through Bushmills and thought we would treat ourselves to a visit to Flash in the Pan, I ordered a cheese burger for my wife and a jumbo cod and chips for myself, excited and hungry we waited on our order. The burger was excellent according to my lovely wife, she declared very tasty, and proper quality, sadly I cannot say the same, the jumbo cod was everything but jumbo, i think a better discription was two large fish fingers, the taste was at best faint and the batter was soggy, the chips where just ok nothing more and at price they where asking I was very dissapointed, once a great chip shop so what happened?

We went as 4 family members all adults. My fish was so greasy the paper completely stuck to it, I had to peel it off with a knife. The chips had been cooked along time. They were dry, hard and disgusting. We all binned them as they were inedible. I asked the lady behind the till for the price of fish and chips £11.50 . I could read the boards as they moved so fast that I couldn’t keep up due to my dyslexia. I later found out I could have had whiting at £6.50 plus £3 ish chips. I wasn’t giving other options of fish when asked I eaven asked if they had different size fish I got told there wasn’t. Extremely stressful and unpleasant and I won’t be going back.

The northern Ireland version of a take-out/carry-out place, The Flash in The Pan makes everything to order. We ordered a large cheeseburger sandwich (like a sub), and the highlight...a fish and chips order! This large piece of fish was done perfectly, and was super-fresh...it was definitely a great meal, and a great stop in the downtown Bushmills area! The prices were also very reasonable. There is limited seating both inside and out; we were fortunate enough to grab an outdoor seat.

I went to flash in the pan every time I was in bushmills and I couldn’t have faulted it.Well different story now I went other evening and spent over £30’s worth of food for family. They didn’t give us an extra chip and curry that I ordered. By time we got home it wasn’t worth the journey to go back for it.Fish was so dry and over cooked no where near the standard it used to be .

Visited the Tartine for the first time for Sunday lunch. Staff were very engaging, friendly and welcoming. The lunch menu has a good selection and we decided to go for 3 courses. All three courses were excellent, well presented, delicious and satisfying. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a meal as much as this. The building is historic and as such expect lower beams , exposed walls and differing levels, this adds to the charm. I would highly recommend this to locals and tourists visiting. It will definitely become a regular spot for us. 10/12/24 update - if I could give more than 5 stars I would, Sunday lunch today was simply perfection. From the warm atmosphere the team here create, to the delicious food that challenges your stomachs capacity as you don't want to leave one crumb uneaten! I recommend this establishment to all my clients and this latest visit has just reinforced why.
