The Handy Plaice in East Cambridgeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The most depressing fish and chip shop ever. Very scruffy looking. Inside and out. Ordered a chip butty. Chips were undercooked. Bread bun was play dough. Only reason I've given 2 starts is because I'm not dead

After not visiting for 8 years due to being out of the country, the handy plaice was on my list of places to visit. I remember eating here 25+years ago in my childhood and it being absolutely delicious. It still stands up today. Top notch fish and chips. Amazingly good food. Eat here now.

Came here on a Monday Lunchtime, absolutely beautiful Fish and Chips, Batter was lighty but tasty and the Fish inside was beautiful, chips decent as well, will visit again.

Great Fish & Chips, Decent price too!!

There is a good reason this place has been open for as long as I can cast my mind back.... the food is still just as superb as I remember. Top nosh👌

Friendly people, but most of all , proper fish n chips 👌 decent price too . As a cockney, I do like a proper chip shop 😉 recommended 👍

Lovely customer service and good food.

Not great, chips were nice enough. But cod was super thin and very oil. The chicken wrap was a joke for price. Tiny little thing, asked for all salad, got a few leafs of lettuce nothing else and chicken was basic at best. Terrible.

Not from the area however been staying past couple days. Came across this place, fantastic! Just had my 4th sausage in batter in 24hours! Chips are great and tasty

Fantastic fish and chips. Best for a long time

Food was nice but still no card payments! It's 2023! Come on!

Great food, proper chippy and a lovely lady serving.

Proper fish and chips that reminded me of my childhood by the seaside. Lovely flavour and batter. Not greasy and great mushy peas too. 💯

Been a couple of times - fish and chips is decent but around £10. Similar price to other ones in area. Good standard of food, owner is lovely and always chatty. Cash only.

It is the best fish and chips I've ever had in life 😋

Tasty food Shop is clean Friendly staff Good experience Msia

Lovely People delicious food ;)

Best burger in town!! Lovinn’ it ❤️ Fries are crunchy and big portion Friendly staff 👍🏻 Highly recommended

Great fish & chips. :) Lovely owner that’s always chatty and friendly. High recommend.

Me & my husband just had a burger from here….a Quarter Pounder…..YUCK! Will never come here again! We threw them away!

Friendly helpful staff, tasty food

felt ripped off here , ordered a burger meal at £8.20 bearing in mind theyre £6 elsewhere locally , i received a deep fried burger patty in a bun , no sauce , no salad just a plain dried out burger , small portion of chips , must be the worst take away meal ive had in a long time , would have still been overpriced if it was nice but anyway wont be back ...theres poppys around the corner which is better value

The best fish shop in town. Cooked properly and good value of money with good portion. Thumbs up. Keep it up girls.

I went for fish and chips and wasn't disappointed great value for money my meal was cooked fresh and fabulous take a visit try it for your selves.

Great chippy, first place we went to when we first moved to Soham and first place we think of for a cheeky takeaway.

Food is nice. The shop is run down which doesn't give me much hope in terms of how they clean the place. The owner might be nice but it’s the whole experience that needs to be looked at and not just the end product. Go to poppies instead

The best chips in the village and the loveliest lady who always remembers our order!

We pre ordered our food which was for 8 people. Not only was it ready to pick up on time, it was delicious as well. Excellent .

Lovely fish and chips very friendly staff

Lovely fresh cooked fish and chips when we visited

Always really well cooked fish and chips. Owner is lovely to talk too.

Great fish and chips. Curry sauce was the best I've tried.

Amazing chippie great food always get a good meal from them for a reasonable price do veggie options for my sister y7l yum ymu🍴😂😋😂😉🤤😀😍🍴📺❤️❤️☺️🎂🎂🙏🏒👆

Great price for chips. And the chips are so nice and hot and delisious.

AWFUL........smells of old oil, greasy food, way too expensive. Going home after long day and hungry, went here after reading reviews....really wished I hadn't.

Nice fresh food...friendly lady ...well worth a visit

Great Fish & Chips would be great if they did mushrooms in batter and spam fritters, that woukd be truly awesome

Pre ordered 9 meals. They were freshly cooked and very tasty. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. Looking forward to eating from there again.

Our food today was cooked to order - delicious ! They also do a “pensioner portion” of fish & chips which is ideal for someone who doesn’t have a big appetite. Highly recommended.

Excellent battered fish. A classic style fish and chip shop.

Good food - always cooked fresh when I walk in and order it.

I have used the Handy Plaice many times. They are always friendly and efficient the food is excellent and good value.

Good points: Excellent fish (cod) cooked beautifully Bad: Small portions Expensive The most unforgivable was the re-cooked chips which must have been leftover from the lunchtime service, or worse, yesterday. Really bad and unacceptable for the price. Have to rate 3* though because of the lovely fish.

Takeaway food not as good as it used yo be..little disappointing

I really love this place, fish and chips are very tasty and the lady there is super friendly. It's worth going just to have a chat with her 👍

Best chip shop in soham wouldn't go anywhere else

Nice fish and chips, tiny little shop hidden away

Freshly cooked with good portions.

Tempting fish and chips. Fish very big and fresh. Chips is awesome. Would like to come again. Staff very friendly. :)

Really friendly staff and great fish and chips. In my opinion this is the best in town.

Great local chippy, really friendly staff

Just what you would expect. Quick service. Good food.

Lovely fresh cooked fish and chips and welcoming staff. Our little lad loves the fish fingers

I have been exploring the fish and chip shops in my local area for quite a few weeks now - every Friday I have 5-7 hungry builders to feed. This fish and chip shop is first class - the best in the area. My builders commented on how nice the chips were straight away. The portions are generous. The staff are helpful- cooking to individual requirements. Can't fault them!
