£4.50 for a 'large chips'. Hardly large, especially compared to a lot of other chippy's in the area. Could have eaten them all myself. Will be going somewhere else next time.

Fish and chip shop in Tilehurst. Best fish and chips around by a long chalk. Large cod and large chips yes please. Note: the chips portions are ‘big’ - you might only need a medium … but if you are doing it go all in. I keep failing to get here before they close (from the Vic pub opposite). Highly recommend! (It’s my guilty pleasure and why not?). The queues speak for themselves. 😁

Well down hill does not explain it, we have been here quite a few times in past but not for awhile, had cod & chips twice, batter was claggy on inside undercooked and chips were a do over from the night before, this used to be so good, it is still same owners so expected the same standard we always had but no not anymore, sorry but never again will go back to our old shop.

food was nice but service was awful clearly prioritising telephone orders over people that had bothered to go in person. 4 members of staff clearly working hard but should have at least acknowledged the 5 people waiting in the queue

I live close to a chip shop which I feel has gone down hill, so I thought I'd try the Lemon Plaice as it's always had a good reputation. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious, not too greasy, lovely crispy fish, definitely the best I've had in Tilehurst. Chips portion size weren't the biggest, but they were enough. The man and lady were lovely to talk to, which makes a change from many places where the staff don't speak. I'd definitely return.

Called in here on the off chance. We were the only ones there for the duration of ordering to taking out food, which we took down to a riverside bench to eat. The fish (haddock) and the scampi were excellent and a decent portion of scampi. The chips were nice, and the batter was nice and crisp. Friendly and efficient staff. Shame they had no rock left though. Will definitely be back as it's far superior to the chippies closer to home.

In terms of the portion sizes, value for money and quality of cooking this is the best fish and chips you’ll have. Both the fish and chips are perfectly cooked with the batter crispy and light and they aren’t oily and greasy making you feel sick afterwards. The pineapple fritters with sauce are a must have as well.

Don’t order from here. Have just ordered for the first time from here. Sausage looks and tastes like it was reheated two or three times. The chops were only just cooked and tasted rubbery. Only ordered here as the four seasons were closed. Wasted 80% of my money as nearly all of it went in the bin. Will not be using again. They advertise award winning. This was really not award winning.

Unsure if there has been an ownership change, but an older lady (management type) seemed perturbed to be there, with the attitude of a woman whose unhappy with life. I ordered a large portion of chips which came in at £4.20 however what I actually got was less then a small that I’ve purchased before for a young’un.(truly disappointing) The curry sauce came in at £1.80 but I received a small tub that was filled just less than 2/3rds full. I drove all the way from Bracknell to go to this place and have been doing this for years. But after being unwell and my hospital stay, I was looking forward to a perfect supper however sadly this place has changed into being just like all the mediocre places littering the streets of this town. Shame as sad to see this once great fish and chip shop succumb to greed and uncare. Overall 2/10 and will advise as many as I can to stay away from this place. Only because the management at the store didn’t seem to care about the patrons

The Lemon Plaice is a brilliant local chip shop. What makes this place unique is the fact that they can cater for small or large events. We have used them for catering to Brownie and Guide Groups right up to a massive street party. The food is good, always hot and packed really well. When we order for Guides they always pack cutlery, salt, vinegar and a a napkin. I would recommend this place to everyone. Enjoy!

I stopped here yesterday and ordered haddock and chips. As I expected, the fish dad to be cooked so it was fresh! When it was ready, it was wrapped and given to me so I left to eat it. It was really lovely! I really enjoyed it. The batter was lovely and crisp and the chips were really lovely too. It was a visit well worth making. Thank you so mush to The Lemon Plaice for such lovely food.

Been coming here for a few years, usually okay. Fairly pricey for the portion size, fish is usually well cooked but batter can be thick and greasy. Also, when I went there at lunch time the chips seemed like they were yesterday’s chips because they were papery, dry throat scratchers. A shame really, might give them another chance. Will update review if so.

My son and I went here to get Fish and Chips Despite being the only customer my 10 yr old son was told to wait outside on his own while I order obviously putting him at risk by a very curt ignorant female. So I have no idea how a single parent of young children would be able to use this place. Not that I would recommend the food either as I thought originally that they were a good place no price increase due to covid19 lockdown. How wrong was I no price increase just significantly smaller portions of poor quality chips. And incredibly slow service too.I would like to say something positive about this establishment but unfortunately I can't. Avoid like a plague.If you expect courtesy,good food fast service and your children safe DON'T GO HERE.I hope they go bust as it will be a bonus

The food arrived in individual containers, still at a fine temperature, and each person got kinvescsnd forks, salt and vinegar in individual packs. We were only charged just under a fiver per person, which was great value. No complaints, in fact, everybody enjoyed it. No bones.

Lady was very rude behind the counter because I didn’t know which side of the store to queue even though there are no signs denoting where you queue from and then when I asked for a large cod she scowled unhappily and said “well as you can see there are no large cod ready so you’ll have to wait 15 minutes” Some lessons in how to talk to customers are needed - I won’t be coming back
