The Golden Fish in Kirklees

Great fish and chips, reasonable price

£24 for fish and chips, 2 fish cakes with a portion of chips and one curry sauce, sad to say its cheaper to go for a couple of currys

Just a nice friendly honest chippy. That serves good food .

Lovely friendly staff, fish and chips very nice

Great customer service fish 🐟 👌

I lived in mirfield over 20 years, I now have settled in north Wales. I have to go back to gods country for chish n fips!! The golden fish is worth the 100 mile journey. Never had bad uns allus had gud uns.. Thankyou

Terrible chips and really over priced

Good chippy. Although 8/10 times when I get 2 lots of fish and chips. One is always huge and the other is a bit bigger than a stickleback 😂. Luckily my missus takes the smaller one. Chips portions aren’t the best. I think it’s very expensive here too.

Gorgeous fish and chips and lovely staff

This place has really gone downhill It's always been our go to for fish & chips but will definitely be looking for somewhere else now. Sorely disappointed by the very small quantity of chips that were also pretty anaemic. The fish was really dry and there was far too much batter on the battered sausage. Not sure what's happened at The Golden Fish but unfortunately they've just lost another customer

Great parking, nice outdoor and indoor seating, lovely staff amazing customer service, food was decent.

Absolutely worst fish and chips I have ever had!! Very soggy batter chips very greasy small portions not that it mattered as couldn’t eat it… ridiculously over priced!! Not a place I will return to

Absolute worst fish and chips I think I’ve ever had to be honest overcooked and over priced with soggy fish deffo not one to return to!

10th june .visited dozens of times no problem always nice .however we decided to take our son for tea £35.70 .the lady serving gave us a portion enough for a small child . Not very friendly as are the others . Ive always said its nice but very upset with the size of the meal and my sons first visit .needless to say they have lost our custom . What a miserable person .this was early evening . We went home shortly after to make a sandwich .

Had a very nice meal there, would have been nicer if it had crockery and cutlery rather than take out stuff even though we were eating in, spoils the taste of the food.

£8.95 for a portion of fish and chips your having a laugh, you would at least expect a good portion for that, the fish is tiny and they are very tight with there chips, there’s plenty of better fish and chip shops around the area who charge the going rate £6.95 / £7.50 don’t give these greedy people your money go somewhere else instead off been ripped off by these greedy gits.

Fantastic fish and chips and helpful pleasant staff.

Freshly cooked and hot. Bit expensive for regular sized portions

Popped in on our travels. Service was excellent.

Ok but nothing special. Fish better than chips.

Been going for years & always go when over in Huddersfield, worth the drive. Friendly staff always clean & a good cuppa tea .

Fresh fish tasted fantastic, staff friendly, helpful Thank you

Staff were lovely , no complaints there 😁 However the portions are diabolical and pricey , the owners need to sort the scoops (portions) out , first and last time , i live nearby but rather go elsewhere

Disappointing takeaway, expensive, over cooked fish, and staff were not particularly friendly or professional .

Really nice fish and chips. Friendly staff. Eat in or out.

Would recommend. Food was nice and staff were polite.

Been in go a long time, good chippy just slightly pricy

Not to my taste. Fish was abit dry and the chips weren’t much better, not sure if we got the leftovers as mostly small scrappy chips. The quality did not live up to the price. Won’t be in a rush to return.

I always call in for their cake butties. As living in an area that's never heard of them . There are a real treat. Well worth trying.

Amazing food staff very welcoming and professional

Another lovely experience, fish were perfect. The guys are working so hard in this boiling weather. Cheers.

Super friendly staff. There is no extra cost to eat in. Always freshly prepared fish. Can't fault it at all.

Really gone down hill recently, the fish and chips are so greasy, batter is soggy. Been coming here for a long time think I’ll find somewhere else from now on the last 3 or 4 I’ve had have been dreadful.

I Used to eat here all the time but the prices are far to much now its stupid an think the owner is far too greedy ... small portions, i got a chip butty with a drink. as i coudnt get a bank loan for there fish and chips .. i probly got one large patato about nine chips and bearly saw change from a tenna .. an they taste faily soggy an realy oily dont no whats happend to the place .. milbridge fisheries is the one

Cold fish and chips no colour on the chips, they looked like they had been boiled!!!! Very poor quality.

Excellent fish and chips and not overly expensive either, nice touch been able to sit in

Fish portions getting smaller, prices are getting higher and now they are wanting minimum spend of £15 on card. Goodbye! What a shame

I've been in a couple of times and found the fish and chips really nice 👍

The fish was nice, but the chips looked as if they were leftover from yesterday and recooked today, not up to their standard, not good for the price we have to pay for them

Used to here 2016 to 2019 w Anne Clark. Miss it !

Big fish shop, better opening hours than many others in the locality, easy to get to and has parking, fish and chips are good, cooked fresh when I've been in. If you want to eat in, there are some tables inside, but it's not really a 'restaurant'

I ordered fish and chips mushy peas and a t cake , what i got was half of a bag of chips a small fish and a t cake that had never seen any butter ,all for £11.40 what a rip off

Proper fish +chips with good friendly staff .and you must try the Irish curry

Best i know . I travel from kent to visit and take 25 specials back

Really nice fish and chips lovely staff

good service but just a bit too expensive

Ordered fish and chips. The chips didn't look properly cooked when they were being served and they definitely weren't. The fish was ok. Won't be going back.

I’ve used The Golden Fish for 40 years. Just called in to grab 2 fish sandwiches. I have never had a more disgusting fish butty in all my life. The batter was burnt,the fish tasted old but the most nauseating thing was the lumps of hard to chew pieces that were like the edge of the pre cooked fish. I threw half away and feeling like I could vomit 20 mins after.

Best Fish and Chips you will ever have! Was driving past and called in one Friday evening and it was the best decision we made. Will be going there every Friday even though we live in Birstall!

I've been coming here on and off over the years, and in the past, the food hasn't been the best. Lately, however, the food has been absolutely amazing. I've been back a few times in recent weeks and haven't been disappointed in the slightest

Always nice fish and chips and friendly service,they are more expensive than the “little wooden hut” down the road. Having said that I would rather pay the extra as they are nicer then the cheaper rivals. Thank you golden fish staff

Was driving through after a meeting had an impromptu stop. Had the fis cake and chips, was pretty decent tbf. I quite enjoyed it

i see I'm not the only one who has spotted the scam £15 minium charge on card, this place sells poor food at max prices and runs a scam to get you to spend more.. avoid like the plague.. 0/10

read all the real reviews - all the fake ones youll see are good - this place is disgusting - food was cheap and very expensive, it stunk of weed in there as well - £15 min spend on chips n fish you can get at morrisons for about £2

never going her again on principle, the most expensive chip shop in all Yorkshire. nearly £10 for mediocre fish and chips that just leaves grease in your mouth. what's even more scandalous is they wont let you pay on card unless its £15 minimum.. absolute joke.. never in my life i have seen a £15 card limit outside of London, makes me laugh as these kind of companies make out to their customers it costs a fortune to use a card and being a business owner i know its cost you naff all. what's even more suspicious is the fact they've just added a new in shop cash machine they refer you ( because you dont want to spend £15) to 'they're getting paid to have' there for every withdrawal. scam chip shop... never going back, share to raise awareness.

We called for our tea tonight 30th August Hubby had fish and chips, and I had chips and Scolles ( soz about spelling) With English Curry Sauce and Ball Bits absolutely 💯 Fantastic 👍👍👍👍❤️💯💯 We sat in the car and ate them Two ladys on this evening Unfortunately no photos as I didn't have my phone, THANK YOU AT THE GOLDEN FISH

Best fish and chips in the area

Tasty fish and chips done the yorkshire way in beef driving also you can have scraps other places call them batter bits batter beautiful very nice 😋

Best fish and chips I've had for years. Lovely haddock, all freshly cooked.

Not happy at all just spent 31.50 on 3 battered sos 2 fish buttys and 2 large chips the chips are normal portions the skinniest fish I have ever had from a chippy and dry I normally pay 20 pound for all that from my normal chippy make no wonder it was dead when I walked in the prices are shocking 😡 only good thing I can say is the staff are lovely

Greasy fish, no where near as good as it used to be.

Just what we needed, a chip butty. The chips were fresh out of the fryer, lively and hot and crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle!

Really great tasting fish n chips!

Nice but expensive and the batter is a bit unusual

Brilliant food and certainly recommend

Best fish and chips and curry sauce I have had in a long time . Last time we came here fish was slimy and disgusting to night profection. So what's changed here then as it new owners or what

Fantastic food , friendly service

Yummy fish & chips & mushy peas & a cuppa in between cycling on the Spen Valley Greenway look for Huddersfield Road on the signpost just 50 yds away.

Can't fault the food from here. It's our go-to chippy! A recent development is the £15 minimum spend for card payments. I appreciate whilst everyone is going cashless businesses get squeezed. Something to bear in mind.

Lovely thick hot fish 🐠 just as i like it, friendly service.

Delicious fish chips and peas with a distinctive "old fashioned" batter! Not like the armour plating that most places seem to turn out nowadays. Friendly staff, and a decent sized mug of tea if you eat in! Problems???? The car park is a tad crowded but that's because the place is so popular and a lot of drivers seem to need an artic's worth of room to maneouvre in. Update... STILL wonderful!!

The fish at this place is always fantastic Called in last night but was shocked to be told that coming up soon was a minimum spend on a card of £15 !!! Yea that’s right To say I was shocked is an understatement. I know fish and chips are expensive but still ! As a single person I couldn’t possibly eat 2 lots of fish and chips so maybe this is a single person tax ! To add insult to injury the assistant informing me also told me it was 30p a transaction and the cost of the card machine was £1000 per year. This didn’t sound too much to me ?£1000 per year equates to £19 per week - divide that by 7 days equates to £2.74 per day ! when you think about how many people buy from this shop in a week that cost must be pence. Whilst I can see that overheads at times need to be reviewed to maintain profits . I’m not interested to hear about how the business spends or makes money I’m interested in the quality of the end product. If there’s a need to add 20p for fish and 10p for chips do it ! They have a loyal following and open long hours - so I’m sure a small price increase wouldn’t matter - but telling people they have to spend £15 min is too much to hear and it’s making me think I should perhaps go elsewhere

Stopped here on a Sunday bike ride. Its just off the Greenway path so is quite convenient. They have outdoor seating and a bike rack. Got Fish and Chips, and it was lovely. Fish was nicely cooked and the chips were fine. Ate it all. My friends couldn't even finish their chips as there were so many. They do have a few tables inside so you can eat in, but it's pretty minimal and a bit cheap looking in there. Would definitely consider stopping off again on a bike ride :-)

Food is always over cooked and disappointing. Batter is dark and sticky and the fish is dry. Only redeeming feature is that it’s open later than most fish and chip places.

I had fish, chips and a curry sauce. The fish was really dry, and burnt on the edges; either it was overcooked or had been kept warm for a long time. Very disappointing for how much they charge. The chips were average, had better, had worse.

Always open, always good. 🐠 🍟 ✅ March '23 - still great.

Nice friendly staff fast service

Went today for fish and chips nothing unusual for me on a Friday only this Friday I left my wallet on a bench outside totally unaware. Had a phone call from police saying that the golden fish handed in to them cards and money intact. So a big thank you to all the staff will be in next Friday.

Good traditional fish and chips

Lovely fish and chips as always!

Good fish and chips eat in or out. Speedy and friendly service

Lovely food, relaxing atmosphere

Nice fish un chips, bit small in fish terms but been before and would call again ..

Just passing very good I'd go back again if in the town

Always go here grateful fish and chips.

Love the fish and chips from here.

Nice fish and chips, friendly staff you can have a laugh with.

Often driven by this place on way to Huddersfield. Decided to pop in and order takeaway fish. What a huge disappointment the fish was awful!! Think the oil they fry the fish in, needs changing! Won’t be returning waste of £5.65 !!

Quite literally the nicest fish and chips… we go all the way from Oakenshaw…. Always clean and I love the fact there’s seating outside for the rare nice days we have. Their curry sauce is an absolute MUST!

Best fish and chips I’ve had for a long time and the staff are great

Fish and chips good quality and hot out of the pans.They don't over stock on ready cooked product,so what you get is always hot

Always use this place and sometimes eat in. Just lately the there seems to be to much batter on and got very soggy so not sure what's changed as been like this the last 3 times. Usually scrape the batter off and the fish is fine. Fingers crossed they sort it.

Found it's gone down in quality,long wait for fish n thought outside batter crisp,inside was not.peŕhaps new staff/fryer was the problem. Changes happen I guess?.

Lovely fish butty whilst sheltering from the rain

The food is good and the service is amazing, the only flaw is the presentation but that doesn't really matter.

Very friendly team, good size portion, batter very thick so not fully cooked but tasty

Constantly good fish and chips ,been going here most of my life

Hoped for some nice fish and chips for a family supper. Unfortunately the batter on the fish wasn't cooked well, so we were left with mouthfuls of raw batter. Chips were OK but the meal ruined by the poor batter/cooking. So disappointing.

Very little fish in fishcakes and potato wasn't cooked

Good service and tastie fish and chips. Would definatly go again and recommend a visit.
