My wife and I visited the new Thai restaurant on Saturday night to celebrate her birthday, this is our honest opinion of what we found.We are not sure to begin with the “good or not so good”, so I will probably ramble a little.This was our first visit to this restaurant which apparently is only open on Friday & Saturday. We called and booked a table for two at 8pm. When we arrived we were surprised to see how big the venue is ( it’s large up there), the place was spotlessly clean, had various Thai type ornaments & the staff had traditional clothing on. First impressions were good, however it is “very well lit” ( we would recommend turning the lights down a bit as it was so bright it spoilt the atmosphere a little).When we arrived there where two other tables being served ( one with about 8 people on it and one with a table of 4). We were shown to our table by a very polite Thai girl, ordered a drink and looked at the menu.Drinks were bought over to us and we ordered our meal.The food was exceptional, well cooked, good quality and sensibly priced. We would definitely both eat it again.Now the not so good bits !The place lacks any kind of atmosphere, perhaps the lighting doesn’t help.The staff, whilst polite, didn’t really make us feel as if they were that bothered if we were there or not. When the other two tables in the restaurant finished their meals and left the staff turned off the background music, cleared the tables and one of the lady servers even got changed ready to go out herself. This all made us feel as if we were “ in the way”, they had served our meal and now they couldn’t wait for us to leave so that they could shut up for the night.The food was really superb but if they want more and repeat customers they need to understand that diners want “ the full service, to feel pampered and to feel valued. Unfortunately that part of the night wasn’t experienced. We may go back and try the place again ( Purley because the food was so good), but if they want to get busier and be successful they really need to look at the customer service and ambiance of the place. A shame really as it has so much potential.

We called in here because it was too cold to sit outside with the children and eat. It may be a fish restaurant but their menu contains a lot of different dishes, including meat and vegetarian, to suit everybody. We had 2 adults and 4 children to feed and the food was amazing. You may pay more but it is definatley worth it. Although we did not actually have the fish and chips, the ones I saw coming out looked amazing. The staff were all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Would definatley recommend and go back.

Not the best chip shop we’ve ever visited, but the chips were really nice. We visited on a really busy Sunday and had to queue for an hour before getting served. The staff are quite slow even though there were 4 of them working out the front. I understand that it was busy and you have to wait for food to cook, but they could have served more than 1 person/group at once. But apart from that, I enjoyed my meal and would probably visit again.

We just had our worst fish & chips ever from the Regal takeaway, one piece of what was called "large cod" was just a battered fish skin, there was no fish in it, the fryer must have known what they had battered, there is no way that this was a mistake, also the chips were undercooked. Save yourself some money & go to one of the other fish & chip shops in Felixstowe.

I always go to the regal for fish and chips. I normally use the fish bar but due to the poor weather, we sat in the restaurant. I would recommend booking a table as they always seem busy but it is because they are the best in Felixstowe! We went on a Sunday at 12pm and couldn’t get a table until 2pm. They were busy but the service was fantastic. All the staff were polite and friendly. The portions were excellent value for money. The large portion was huge. I was particularly impressed with the fish shaped plates for the medium fish and chips. What a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend anyone going to Felixstowe to go there to either the fish shop or the restaurant.

I shall start this review by stating I’ve been using this fish and chip shop for the last 7 years, but I’ll throw in a humungous caveat by stating that I have never physically set foot into this place! I park over the road and send my mother and father.I’m on a lifelong, worldwide quest to find the perfect fish n chips. My discoveries thus far are,No matter where you are the freshness of product is paramount. Secondly add in cost.The Regal fish bar exhibits brilliance in the quality of the fish both in preparation and service, then add in the cost and you have huge value.In my opinion the owner clearly cares vastly about his business and values repeat custom, in so much as in all the years I’ve eaten take away from here, not once have I ever had anything even slightly below par, unlike I have experienced one ‘poor’ experience at two other notable fish and chip establishments locally (ish), aldeburgh and dunwich.I’m really concise with my fish suppers, one poor one, I don’t go back.I live in essex, I have many ‘chippies’ local to me, but the quality and value represented by the Regal fish bar makes it very much worth the additional effort to come here.I will endeavour to actually set foot in the shop this year and meet the staff and owner after seeing the Regal on ‘look east’, before you become too famous, and get all Hollywood on me!

Use side entrance for access. Unsure how you would arrive if you have accessibility issues. Lovely decoration around the room and tables. Good menu choices, would have liked a set menu as it was our first visit. Menus are sticky. You can request the strength of curry though that isn't obvious. My husband had his drink replenished quickly even though they pop downstairs to get it. We went for the shared starters. We had 3 dips and had to ask what was in them. I ordered thai green curry and rice. Husband ordered a dish he was told was stir fry but was quickly advised it wasn't and should order rice. In fact one rice would have been enoughLovely food great service friendly staff in a clean spacious nicely themed location with sea views.

The Regal fish bar opened the upstairs as a separate Thai restaurant about 2 months ago. We have used it 3 times with different friends and found both the food and the staff to be excellent. It is currently only open on Friday and Saturday evenings, so it is best to book. Hopefully opening hours will be expanded in the summer. Menu initially limited, but gradually expanding. The only real problem is lack of wine available !

I was in town foir a meeting and was brought here for lunch. This is a good old British fish restaurant. It has wonderful okd world charm and is well maintained. The food is very, very good. The portions are of a well sized proportion and very well made.I had the steak and kidney pie. It is home made and crammed full of meat. This is much better than your normal chip shop pie and reminds you of what you have missed. My colleague had a "small" cod and chips. I'm not sure what "small" means in Suffolk but it would be classed as large anywhere else.I'm told that this is a very popular place and very busy. Be warned, you may gave to wait. No wonder they insist on visiting every time they're in town.

As it was so cold we decided to eat in the restaurant I have to say on first impression I was not sure. Very quick service and lots of advice on size of fish. Totally bowled over when everyone’s meal turned up. We had small fish and medium fish chips and mushy peas. They were pretty big portions. A couple of us had the home made pies mushy peas and chips with a small boat of extra gravy. I have never seen so much meat in a pie It was packed. You need to be hungry. We saw the large fish and chips the fish must have been at least 16 inches if not longer. Seems very popular Everyone was impressed. Nice to have hot plates and hot food. We definitely will be back. Glad we decided to stay and not go on first impression. Definitely best fish and chips in felixstowe

The nice thing about this restaurant is the fact that you don't have to have fish. There is a good selection of meat dishes including a 'home made' shepherd's pie. We certainly covered a few different dishes and all were well received. There was a slight wait and the food came up in groups which was fine. No one had room for a desert. Another good experienced in this traditional seaside fish & chip restaurant.

Without hesitation I would say that Regal Fish Restaurant is probably the best fish and chip restaurant in the world!! The fish is always cooked perfectly and the chips are superb. It can’t be beaten. We have our dinner there every month of the year. First Class

Ordered Haddock today and it was terrible. The batter was overly thick and undercooked, the seagulls appreciated it though. The staff are friendly and efficient and the chips are fine but there seems to be an emphasis on quantity over quality.

Unusual to find a chippie these days that cooks in beef dripping. You can really taste the difference - the batter is crispy and not greasy. Medium chips was enough for three adults. Their home-made chicken and mushroom pie is chunky and delicious.

Went to get chippy tea yesterday after work with my husband as really enjoyed our meal a few weeks ago there. Clean and today and friendly waitresses. Small cod and chips is plenty big enough for me. Very tasty every time. The reason I didn't score this place a5 is because each time we have been there we have waited nearly half an hour even when there is not many people there. Also a pot of tea for two only has 2 tea bags which aren't the best, even though they fill up with hot water again if you ask. Overall the best tasting fish and chips in felixstowe by far

Lovely chips and fish good quality batter all cooked fresh to order. You can queue however as it is often busy especially in busy times. Toilets are nearby along with other amenities and several places to eat your chips watching the sea. Highly recommended

You have got to be really Hungry to have dinner here a very filling fish ,chips and either mushy peas garden peas or baked beans delicious. I had a medium fish cod skinned and it was enormous as in the picture my partner had a small cod with the skin on and she had a real job to eat it as her mushy peas portion was quite large. The staff were very attentive and friendly +the added bonus of alcohol is available.

Walking along the seafront looking for somewhere good to eat with not much hope, the came across the Regal.Menu has good choice but go for one of the battered fish options, I went for plaice and my wife and mother in law the rock eel.The fish of battered plaice and chips cooked in beef dripping was simply sensational, it is by far the best battered fish and chips I have ever had anywhere. We will definitely be going back every time I’m in this part of the world.Truly stunning in its simplicity but it delivered flavour in spades (mushy peas where excellent too)

No booking. Staff were nice polite and helpful. The fish and chips were cooked in beef dripping. The cod was enormous and was white moist and very tasty. The chips were excellent and overall a brilliant meal. My wife had plaice which was also large and very tasty. Busy restaurant no frills just very good food. Also serves many beers and other drinks.

So I was staying for the week in Felixstowe and we met up with my grandparents and decided to go here for lunch. We got seen really quickly and as there was 6 of us we asked how long the wait would be the said 10-15 minutes but she was really nice and said we have a 4 seater and 2 seater right by the window she even offered to join them together (sorry for saying she I can’t remember her name) but we were fine anyway. The food was excellent. The staff are excellent. Excellent food for money. We didn’t stay for desert as too full but my brother had an ice cream because he had the children’s menu and he said it was Great. I think we left a £2 tip. Definitely going to come back

First time last year, a must this year. Great food, large portions, good value and really pleasant staff. Seaside fish and chips (plus lots of other choices both fish and pies). If we come back next year, we will be there. Many thanks.

We had lunch at this delightful cafe today. We would never have stopped here for the type of lunch we had as it is an unexpected gourmet delight. I would have expected sandwiches and cakes but was delighted at the unusual menu and delicious food. We were visiting my mother in law and chose here from the good food guide and were not disappointed. All the tables were reserved so you definitely need to book. The counter had amazing looking pastries enticing those who visited on a Sunday morning for coffee. We had soda bread and goat with chickpeas, it was warm and tasty. My mother in law had the amazing smoked salmon and dill pancakesWe enjoyed treacle tart, rhubarb with apricot meringue and custard and rhubarb granita for desert. All served by the bubbly, efficient and friendly waitressGive this place a visit, you’ll love it
