The Shire Fryer in Shropshire

Given two stars for the service and it looks a lovely place but the food was really disappointing, ordered sausage and chips at lunch time and honestly I’ve never had chips so dry and limp, to top it off the sausages were like sawdust again really dry.

The fish and chips were beautiful.

First time I tried it and the mini fish, chips & mushy peas absolutely delicious 😋

Top notch food, very easy to order online, reasonably priced as well. Recommended.

Was nice, not as nice as a few years ago I think possibly because they were close to closing.

Terrible experience. Fish wasn’t even cooked

Standard chips portion size very poor, poor battered quality

Travel from Wellington once a week for the best mini fish and chips any where locally. Freshly cooked to my own requirements. Got to know the friendly staff over the years.

Vegan sausages and you can have them battered! They even do battered mushy peas! Really good vegetarian options and really good chips 😋

The staff are always friendly and the fish and chips are great . Highly recommended

I love the fish and chips from here and normally I would give 5 stars but I have to say tonight the mushy peas were horrible. They are normally fab but something was very wrong with them tonight.

Food was ok, chips somewhat limp, portion size smaller since the last time I visited, salad was poor. Not the best value for money. Service was quite slow. Still a popular chippy so perhaps I went at a bad time.

Rarely feel the need to write a review on a chippy but was pretty annoyed by the food I received tonight. Bought a fish for me and my daughter too share as usually that is plenty for us. The fish was cooked fresh, but was clearly rushed and its the thinnest, smallest fish I've had from a chippy. The batter was soggy and so when I tried to take it out the paper most the batter stuck leaving us with a really sad looking meal. I wouldn't mind, but paid £7 (!) The chips and sauces did slightly redeem the meal, large portion of chips was exactly that and tasted lovely. Irish curry was really good too, as it should be for £1.80 for a small. Don't mind paying more money for a very good chippy, but this wasn't so feel disappointed.

old women was very rude. charged me more for the food i ordered. absolutely disgusting customer service

First time I got brought here, best ever chicken curry and chips to date, God Bless you 😁🙏😁

Very nice staff, very profesional, nice experience

A few months ago I ordered a delivery from here via one of the delivery apps. Considering the cost the portions were scandalously poor. The fish was flat and barely bigger than a fish finger and the portion of chips could have fit in a standard crisp packet. Very poor value for money. Remember to note that my review is based on delivery only, I can't comment on what you get if you visit in person.

The best chip shop in Shrewsbury, food cooked to order and the chips are delicious

Never again will we come here..the order was completely wrong the kabab was chunky not sliced my partner ask for it to be done thinly they did it in the back so he cudnt see what they where doing. £8 each for kabab we had 3 ..food ..definitely old kabab and like rubber

Definitely our favourite chippy! The portions are not the most generous, but everything is freshly cooked to order, which we like. The big drawback is the parking, which is limited and dangerously close to the roundabout.

Always stop by here on way to and from Wales, never disappoints! Wish we lived closer !!

This is a consistently good chippy in all aspects except probably for the parking. That seems the same at any I've visited though. There is a facility to have deliveries from there if wanted.

Small portions, fish was more batter than fish. Peas looked pretty sick. Given I paid 11.30 which is the highest around Shrewsbury I definitely won’t be going back. They weren’t that busy when I called but the staff were still miserable.

Excellent chippy. A little pricy, but the food is always good.

The service here is terrible. I came on recommendation but was totally ignored and finally went to another chipshop nearby. I have no problem waiting my turn but when I got to the front of the queue the server joined the other lady packing up other peoples meals both totally ignoring me for a good 5 minutes, at which point I decided they dont deserve my custom. Ive given a neutral rating for the food for fairness - that they don't deserve.

Excellent food, very friendly staff, many thanks!

Really nice chip shop with food cooked to order and a large selection of food available from fish and chips burgers and even halloumi fries kebabs and minted lamb

Popped in tonight just before 8pm, asked for fish and chips. Fish was cooked fresh while I waited and the chips also. Friendly staff and never had a bad experience there in all the years I've been going there. The best chippy in town by miles. Keep up the good work.

High quality fish and chips at reasonable value.

We travelled half way round the world and always return to Paul and his team for the best fish and chips. Great service.

Saw the Christmas Turkey special advertised on the Facebook page and just had to try it, it didn't disappoint!

I ordered haddock, cone of cups and large mushy peas. It cost me £10. I was really looking forward to this treat but the haddock was thin and no flesh on it - it was £6.50!!! It looked like a mini fish. The chips and mushy peas were fine. I’m so disappointed with the quality since it’s re-opened.

Can’t rave about this place enough! I dream about having their fish and chips back in Hong Kong. So worth a visit or 3.

This for me is the best fish and chips in Shrewsbury I dream of coming here from my home in Hong Kong. We’ll worth a visit or 3

I am so disappointed as your chip shop has a really great reputation. I ordered haddock and mushy peas .. within the last hour. Your cooking was superb done to order but the haddock was dry and chewy around the edges and had no real body to it.....I think it was a poor quality piece of fish as I can't fault your cooking.

The best Fish and Chips in town With great reviews.

I went int his evening. Unfortunately, the staff werent very friendly. I had to wait 45 minutes for my food whilst other people were served before me. Even a bother customer apologised to me for having their food before me when I had been waiting so long. I think it was bacuse I changed a £20 note which upset the lady. Then, I was not given the right food and was missing a bag of chips despite questioning the lady before I left the shop I took her word for it that they were all there. A very disappointing experience that I won't be repeating any time soon.

Superb chip shop, Paul and the crew do a great job. The Irish curry sauce is to die for, great to accompany a beautiful piece of fish an chips. Great all round, well done guys 👍

Freshly cooked still hot when got home, hot and tasty can't be wrong 😋

Over priced under cooked cold food , first and last time kebab tiny, meat undercooked but dry and cold @£7.60 !!! The pulled pork and chips there are no words £8.25 !!! It looked like a dog had thrown up it wasn’t recognisable as pulled pork totally inedible as were the refried chips , extortionate prices and disgusting food save your money and go out to eat it will be cheaper and hopefully edible

Over priced, Fish was super thin, dripping in grease and over cooked. Chips were nice but large portion was more like an average portion from any other chippy. Stick with Coleham chippy from now on.

Top notch quality food, served quickly. Chips are always spot on.

One of the best places for fish and chips in Shrewsbury. Say no more . Cheers Jeff

Generally, I rate this place 5/5 however picked up early tonight and I believe the fish had been over cooked / cooked twice. The batter was over cooked, therefore the fish was very dry. The fish broke up when I opened the bag, so dry.

A stunning new Vegan Chippy in Shrewsbury. Definitely loving having the Vegan Option for the odd treat. Hopefully it’s going well and proving popular! Loving those mushy pea fritters!!

Excellent 🎏 Still maintaining high standards, excellent fish!

I am a regular to Shire Fryer and have been for years so when they closed for a while i’ve been wanting to head back and support them but not after tonight’s experience. 5 people were already in the shop so I stood back with enough room to let people in and out and had not one not 2 but 3 people push infront of me in the queue with no manners or etiquette to which the staff noticed as i was the only person stood outside and kept serving those people next which is just rude. In the end I walked off and won’t be back.

Beautiful Doner kebab and Fish and chips.

Glad to see Paul’s place back open again with the best chippy around. Lovely food and all at reasonable prices. Welcome back. Some very cheerful,and pleasant new staff too as well as some of the lovely previous staff.

Fantastic. Very busy as usual but worth the wait. Excellent Haddock and chips. Highly recommend.

The BEST chips in Shrewsbury by a mile!!! Cheesy chips were delicious and chicken and chips with bbq sauce were lush!!! x

Please come back guys - so sad to see the shop boarded up. Best fish & chips in town.

Best fish and chips when you going to open after fire

Great chips and a nice crispy flavoursome batter. Good local fish and chip shop.

Brilliant service excellent and professional

Good service and fresh produce. Prices ok too. Staff really on the ball for getting you served.

Best chip shop in Shrewsbury. Great food, fast service.

Superb.. service very friendly and extremely efficient..Food excellent.

We visited this chip shop, as the one we normally use had a huge queue. Well what a great surprise, these were the best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Hopefully, it wasn’t a one off. We will visit again in a few weeks and see if they are as good.

It's the only fish and chip bar I would recommend to people outside of Cornwall. Homemade foods, perfect portion sizes and perfect chips. I wouldn't normally rate or even recommend chip shops, but this one is special and leaves you actually feeling nourished rather than many others (higher quality cooking, fats etc) . If you Compare the prices you would pay for food this good in restaurants its an absolute steal, its in another league compared to most other chippys, very reasonably priced for what you get!

Amazing fish and chips for a really reasonable price of 3.50 .smaller than the norm but big enought .really good non tourist chippie

Top drawer as ever. Click and collect works well.

As always: Top notch food, expertly served under social distancing rules . Pre order and pay online facility helps with waiting times, so all in all : hard to find a better Chippy in Shrewsbury! 👍👍

Best chippy in shrewsbury , without a doubt !!!

The chips were not cooked enough, the fish was tough and even the mushy peas were poor. Will not use this chippy again!!

New click and collect service works a treat. Substantial fish portion for mini fish and chips, great quality, and well cooked, very friendly service as usual, will be back next week!

Ordered online for collection. Food was ready when we arrived. Absolutely delicious. Well worth the two and a half mile trek! Keep up the most excellent work guys!

Atcham bowling club held it's annual skittles night and Shire Fryer supplied our fish and chip supper for the 3rd year running, the food was piping hot and the good comments were coming thick and fast. The Shire Fryer supply us with anything from 60/70 portions and all done in 45 minutes, thank you Paul and staff who work very hard on a very busy Saturday night, well recommended 10/10.

Great chips 😁😁 my favourite chippy in Shrewsbury

Worth travelling to, Paul is a great Fryer

I often pop in here after running club for a bag of chips and a large battered sausage which I share with my wife in the car nearby. The service is fast, the portions are generous and the team are friendly and focused. It is often busy, with a queue - always a good sign.

Just had what was supposed to be large cod and chips twice, small cod and chips and 2 large sausage and chips. It's normally really good, but tonight, the cod has really let us down. The small cod is more batter than fish. The 2 large cod are very thin, hard and chewy. Couldn't eat it. The chips and curry sauce are good though. However, we will be going elsewhere for our cod from now on. Very disappointed.

Always tasty, beautiful fish and amazing crisp non fatty chips. Helpful staff. Would happily recommend to anyone.

Lovely food. Cooked fresh to order.

Best chippy in Shrewsbury... Maybe even Shropshire! Lovely staff too!

A traditional English fish and chip shop, as well as other tasty fare.Always a treat to eat!.Friendly, fast service near the Shire Hall.

The main man is always friendly. Food is good, sometimes very busy but you can see why

Great fish, great chips, their mild curry is a must. Friendly staff. Can get very busy, but worth the wait.

Had been doing some work at a friends house and decided to try this Fish and Chip shop. Our fish and the chips were freshly cooked for us and were excellent. Looking at the available combinations there was a good range of products that would satisfy any taste. The shop was very busy suggesting that it a popular local establishment. It is a great pity that they don't have room for a restaurant.

Super Fish and Chips. Best in Shrewsbury.

Great menu, good portions, and lovely food. Best chippy around!

Best fish and chips in Shrewsbury

Bloody bostin fish n chips. Excellent

Only come here once in a blue moon but should do it more often as the food is very tasty, I really enjoyed my fish and chips and the curry sauce!

My family keep coming back here for a very good reason. The fish and chips are always spot on! Generous fish portions, combined with freshly cooked chips. Add a carton of peas and a curry sauce and you have an excellent family meal. Very friendly owner and staff. Recommended!

This happens to be my local, however, it's probably the best fish and chips shop I know of anywhere. Seems strange and probably biased, but every where else I go lacks in comparison. The fat the chips are cooked in is notably good, and when I'm eating, I always notice how fresh the fish tastes.

The service was great and done with a smile! Great fish and chips for a small place. And there are a few parking spots in the front, but it's right off the Lord Hill roundabout so it's a little tricky.....

Two of my group wanted pizza, though they do not do pizza, both said how good their, fish and chips was. Friendly welcoming staff. Definitely visiting again.👍

The best in Shrewsbury In our opinion!

A little expensive but quality food. Worth the price.

decided on fish and chips tea tonight .certinaly not cod or haddock very thin and over cooked no taste batter thin not greasy but burnt taste .will not be going their again very dissapointing...

Can't be beaten, best fish and chippy i know!

Excellent quality food and friendly service

Always great tasting fish and chips and portion sizes to fill you up. I drive across town to come here.

Maybe the best fish and chips in town? Recommended.

Quick service friendly staff a decent chippy👍🏼

The best fish and chips I've had.

Great chippy and very friendly staff

Great grub, unfortunately no pink elephant

Went there tonight for a large fish and chips. Disappointed to say the least. Fish was small and the large chips, which cost £2.90 was quite literally about four mouthfuls worth. Overpriced for what you get and not what it used to be. Will not be using again there are much better, and cheaper chippies in town.
