A place with a worthy name. Nick and Cal provided the friendly service and were great to chat to. This establishment which has a long history in delivering quality food is definitely worth having a scrumptious meal from. The cod was cooked to perfection with a savouring taste that is delightfully coated with a crisp to perfection batter. Quality makes a difference and they sure know that. Looking forward to ordering from them when I next pop around Atherstone 👌🏽

We had the best fish and chips (medium haddock) ever last night, cannot rate it highly enough! Not greasy like some other places around, gorgeous flaky fish and the best chips to date.

It was the worst fish and chips I’ve ever had by a mile so felt compelled to warn others. Portion size was tiny, the chips where bland and starchy, barley any vinegar or salt, and the fish was appalling as the batter was like rubber and greasy and it was the size of a fish finger

Not great fish and chips at all. Chips tasted stale and so did the fish. Chips stuck together and just food quality was not great. Staff were ok, hygiene seems a little off here. Food in the display looks unappetising also. Would not go here again unfortunately

My wife and I used to order here a year or so ago at least twice a month until we moved away and usually found food enjoyable. However, on a recent solo visit to town, I found the food disappointing. Fish was rather dry and not flakey at all. Chips had a raw potato flavour even though they appeared cooked. Just not a good experience..

Was it third time lucky? No! The Friendly Plaice used to be the 'go to place' for fish n chips in Atherstone. They had a refurb and the place looks great...but...the quality of the fish and chips are now, well, meh! Average at best. The REAL problem for me is the staff. They need to change the name to The Miserable Plaice. Three visits ago: food wasn't good but the girl that served me was so down, really uninterested and sour faced. Not good. Two visits ago: food was better but only average, same girl served me as before but just as miserable. Visit last night: again, food was average but Wow, different girl but even worse that the one before, sooooooo fed up, miserable, couldn't care less. So, if you want fish n chips that are average, go there. If you want service with a smile...avoid, go to a cemetery, much more fun. Seriously, if you're in a job that means dealing with customers, smile. If you can't do that or don't like your job, leave, do something else as all you're doing is destroying your employers business. Unfortunately I can't recommend The Friendly Plaice anymore, the staff simply ruin the food...in the cooking and service. Thanks for coming back to me, yes, would to chat about it. Next time I come in I'll ask for you...but only if I get a smile from the person serving me. Fair?

Overcharged and Order wrong for the THIRD time! I've been going here for near on 8 years, so class myself a regular. The newly rebuilt shop now seems to have new owners and so not known them for long, however - on the THIRD occasion since the new shop opened I found my order was wrong. Never used to happen. This time I was £7 out of pocket; the bill being wrong (charged for items I did not order) and missing items on the order. When I asked next time I went in (I go every week) they point blank refused to correct the problem. Quite rude and they made it out to be MY fault!! Really! Hardly a Friendly Plaice any more... So if you do go there, then check everything very very carefully, both your order AND your bill. I have since found 2 good chip shops are available very close-by in the area who are cheaper, better quality, easier parking and genuinely friendly. I would highly recommend checking them out. UPDATE: Having seen the reply: Unfortunately no, I wasn't the gentleman, wrong gender!! Also I used to go on Saturday's. That "gentleman" is a much respected member of our local club and having heard his story yesterday I realised my experience was not unique hence the review. I'm not sure if it was the same lad in the shop that I spoke to a while back, but I will show the gentleman the response; He may wish to provide a review himself following the accusation of Free Food! Very disappointing.

A really clean open plan cooking area, you can see everything from the queue and hygene is perfect, cost is average but the food is exceptional. With the current social distancing rules The Friendly Plaice have done a great job of clearly laying out floor distances markers and segregated ordering and waiting areas. Perfect!

So disappointed the fish cost £5:50 and the batter fell off as it had been recooked so greasy that it had to left on kitchen towel before it was plated. Chips were soggy and not anemic all in all a big let down, Will not be using the chip shop again.

Formerly my grandparents' fish and chip shop - the current owners have renovated it completely it appears, but it still holds a special place in my heart for my family memories helping and eating there in the past. Anyway, the food is great - light crispy batter, huge fish, just the right size of chips in a cone portion for me. I alternate between this one and The Batter of Bosworth as there is nothing really to choose between them - I am a fish and chip fan, it's in my blood. Keep going guys - will get my 'fix' asap.

We had the best fish and chip tea, delivered on time - hot and crispy batter, succulent cod and lovely chips that were cooked to perfection, no grease. Pineapple fritters and cheese fry’s were tasty. The regular cod is big, and a large chips is sufficient for two hungry adults. The contact free delivery service is a bonus in these Coronavirus lockdown days. We used the app to order and pay, it’s easy to use and takes away the worry of having to have cash at hand. Thank you for a great service, this was our third delivery and we will be booking a delivery very soon.

Placed an order for Pie and a portion of chips, kebab and chips and a saveloy. After a long wait that I wasn’t informed about when ordering this FAST food we got home to find there was no portion of chips. I even asked the girl serving if she had put salt and vinegar on the other chips and she said yes. It gets worse... The saveloy and pie were stone cold and the pie felt like it had come straight out the fridge. The kebab meat was also disgusting and missing mint sauce. When we went back to tell them about the issue we were confronted with very rude staff. They insisted that the pie had been warmed and it had been in the fridge.. When returning home for a second time I found the saveloy had split and the chips were overcooked. This place is obviously not following the correct procedure on heating food and definitely not doing temperature checks. Avoid!
