The Jolly Fryer in Castlereagh

Fish was very good, chips disappointing, no crispness, soft, not for me, l see that recent reviews are not as good as they were, maybe need to up their game, l had a John Dory's fish supper about a month ago, so much better, same price.

My daughter and I were driving to Portadown when we spotted ' the jolly fryer ' so we decided to stop and get a bite to eat ,we were very impressed with the customer care ,staff were extremely pleasant and friendly and the quality of the food was excellent and utterly delicious 😋 great choice on the menu and very reasonable prices ,so glad we decided to stop there and will definitely stop again next time we're passing 😁

The best fish and chips tasted in a long time

Tastes like traditional fish and chips shops of old, not the prebattered fast food one's today, Top drawer

Brilliant chippy best in the area

Classic chippie but with modern chips and honestly I'm here for it! We got a battered sausage supper and a side of chicken nuggets & a fish and chip with a side of curry and gravy. I really liked the curry but the gravy was the definite favorite of the house. I think for everything it was £21.00 and the portions were big and I felt like that was as a great price! Street parking but plenty of it. The only annoying thing was we had to use cash.

We called by on Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't too busy. Ordered a cod supper, fish well done. Sadly the batter on the fish was mushy and definitely not crispy. So disappointed... Not up to it's usual standards.. 🙁

Got a chicken burger chip gravy bottle coke £13.80 pricey ? Anyway burger was good but chips were not eatable tasted like burnt oil thought I could hide the taste with the grave it was pure tasteless oil not sure how people review this place high will give it a miss in furture. Chips were binned

Best fish and chips in the country. I do a 40 mile round trip just for the fish & chips

Found this place driving through Carryduff, the food was lovely we got 2 pasties and onion rings, staff lovely, very clean chippy. Worth a try.

Best chip shop around, great service & fab food

Portion sizes are a joke for the price , there must be a spud shortage in Carryduff

Excellent food consistently good!

Food is delicious 100% service staff are lovely

Ordered 2 chicken burgers with taco sauce small chip and 2 cans come to just shy of £20. The taco sauce is more like sweet chilli mayo deffo not the normal taco I was expecting. I would say the taco sauce tasted like Chinese food. The baps where also stale and fell apart easily. Chip was small for the price. Overall an ok experience but am unlikely to return sadly.

Always clean fresh food served here.

I was in the jolly fryer today at lunchtime and got a fish supper and a sausage supper there were good but fish was very small for price don't think be back very miserable portions

Quick and excellent service. Lightly battered fish cooked to perfection 🥰

Best chippy in the country. Sets the bar very high and is astonishingly consistent.

Brilliant service and lovely food. Always filling.

First time in and got a chicken goujon meal. Very tasty. Will be back.

I have always been lucky at this place when I got a fish supper. fish and chips were good.. I don't know anyone there other than to say hello to. And pay. friendly enuff spot.

First class. Always fresh great food. Excellent polite staff.Exceptionally well managed.The premier chippy in Carryduff

Best chippy in Carryduff. Decent portions and reasonably priced. Can order by phone or online if required. Have previously had deliveries also.

For the past 4 years The Jolly Fryer has been our local chippy and has been consistently top notch with crispy batter, meaty fish, great chicken, massive onions rings, perfect chips and amazing staff.

Very slow service, because everything cooked as order. Also phone never stopped taking orders. WELL WOTH THE WAIT. FOID DELICIOUS. Superb service from hard working staff. Can highly recommend this place, be prepared to waith. 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice local take away. Expect a wait as very popular.

Great little chippy, kind of has a monopoly on the area and tends to be very busy. The food's great though. Delivery takes forever so maybe just pop in. And it's beside a cemetery

Amazing food and good customer care

Ordered just a bag of chips and was charged £3.30 and I have to say the portion was rubbish. I was handed the paper bag with the chips wrapped up so didn't see the portion until.i got home. So not impressed at all.

Best chippie in co down and the staff r 2nd to none.

Great food, nice staff. A smile goes a long way.

Fish and chips lovely, fast service.

Fantastic little chippy. Order over the phone to collect or for delivery, or simply call in on the way home. Prices as you would expect of any chippy of its kind. Nice staff - service with a smile.

Food we received tonight overcooked was really disappointed won't b back

Great food. Popularity does mean there can be queues

It's been a while from we had a dinner from The Jolly Fryer. It didn't disappoint. Absolutely delicious. My husband would be fussy when getting a cod supper. But he even commented that it was the nicest fish he had in ages.

Good portions and tasty food would recomend

Got a pastie and a fish my pastie was soggy and the batter was falling of the fish was very disappointed.

Never been, has to pick up something in comber and got my tea on way through carryduff. Nice chips big portions and fluffy batter

Stopped on the way home for a pastie. It hard to get a nice pastie!! The place was Covid compliant. The pastie and few chips were very nice, the staff were helpful and pleasant. I will definitely call again.

Good traditional fish and chip shop in Carryduff. I got a lovely big bag of chips and happily ate the lot.

Always a sure thing. Top quality fish abd chips

All staff had masks on, there was screens up on the counter and hand sanatizer sitting. Got a fish supper which was nice, I'm maybe to fussy but the chips were alright not sure what has changed the oil or whatever they fry them in for me not as nice as they used to be.

This is one of our local chippies, and the food is of great quality. We called close to closing time as the aroma of the food was making us hungry while we were out for a walk. There were a few other customers waiting when we arrived. The chef chatted to everyone on a personal level, which makes most of the customers go back on a regular basis

Fair play to the jolly fryer they were completely flat out busy tonight but the food we recieved was second to none top feed

James does a great job of his fish and chips well worth the wait

Excellent Fish and chips and friendly staff

Great food, great delivery, highly recommend

Without a doubt, the best pastie & onion rings I have ever eaten! Their chips arent bad either!

Absolutely beautiful food and staff

Fantastic service and tasted amazing!! Highly recommended

Chips have not been as good this past couple of weeks.

Excellent service. Food is AMAZING

Freshest fish and chips in the country.

We as a business buy from The Jolly Fryer every Friday and without fail its the nicest chippy , we all have chicken fillet burgers with bacon and cheese , the chips and fish are really tasty , great friendly staff and clean shop , thanks from Lakeside Autos !!

Not good battered sausages and chips where burnt and greasy.

Great chippy you just need to see how busy it gets to know it is a great chipper

Simply the best fish n chips in Northern Ireland. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND FOOD.

I'm. Not a chip shop person but the hunger over took I stopped by on my to my grandads. Nice warm welcome by the staff. The chips where freshly cut and had a home made taste. And the burger was one of the best I've had. Will definitely be back

Best fish and chips this side of the mournrs

Just ate here for the first time. Best fish and chip I have ever had and super staff!

Great food, pleasant staff. Def recommend

Great food and friendly service

We live in Newtownabbey, so not local, but whenever we are in this neck of the woods, a cod supper from the Jolly Fryer is a must for the journey home. I wish there were a branch nearer, as it's literally the best fish and chip shop ever, and always service with a big smile!!

First class chip shop! Great to see it go from strength to strength under new owners. The chips are among the nicest I have had from any chip shop or restaurant. In addition to the quality food, it's great to see some good old fashioned customer service from James and the team, who regularly thank customers by name as they leave the premises!

Good portions sausage's a bit on the small side and they don't do scampi clean and friendly

Best cod supper for miles and very friendly helpful staff. The menu is varied and lots of options for kids. Well worth a try and once you do you'll be back!

Friendly staff and very handy good prices good food

Absolutely fantastic, best fresh fried fish and chips, the mushy peas were out of this world.

Brilliant food loved it but couldn't finish it there was enough for 2 people but lovely 😙

Fantastic Chip shop with very friendly staff!!

Lovely cod and everyone pleasant to deal with.

Difficult to get through on telephone but food is amazing

Great food & fab, friendly service. Great wee take away.

First Class traditional fish and chip shop

This place isnt amazing. We live quite far away and in the space of about a half hour I had to ring them 43 times before anyone bothered to answer.. Even when we got the food it wasn't that impressive.. We were even there on a wekkend and when we got there it wasn't busy so I fail to see how it took so long for someone to answer

Paying £5.10 for a battered sausage supper. Turns out I just got a small chip with two battered sausages. Isn't the first time this has happened sick of complaining to them directly won't be back. Overpriced small portions.

Top service! Great food! Great customer service! All round great service!

Fantastic chip shop, traditional small menu but everything is fried to perfection. Outstanding food and service. This place is bunged many a night for a reason. Can't fault it. Well done keep up good work.

Great tasting chips and friendly service, what more can you ask for. Best Chippy in County Down as far as I'm concerned!

Another great dinner supplied by the jolly fryer.

Very good chippy with an old fashioned menu. The kind i like

Great fish cooked fresh. The best that we have had in belfast in a while. Would recommend.

Not bad. Small potions for the price

Allways great food and friendly staff.

Without a doubt the best Chippy in Northern Ireland. They do gluten free batter too

best fish in n.ireland freshly done spotless clean great staff allways served with a smile and you can order online
