The Strange Catch in North Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My place in Weston for fish and chips, gluten free scampi and chips - must have 😉

Visited here tonight, decent fish and chips, with some solid alternative options if family or someone don’t want fish and chips. Reasonably priced also and cooked to order. We had regular cod, fish bites, regular chips, curry sauce and mushy peas. Fish was decent, flakey and flavourful but would say it was a touch greasy for me, a lot oil left on the box, oil seemed fresh tho. The chips were ok also but would loved a second cook on them and just get that outer crisp a bit more present. Cod bites kinda like smaller off cuts off fish battered and crispy if you like the ends of you’re battered fish these are the one as it’s like those crispy nice ends I enjoyed these. Both curry sauce and mushy peas were fresh and decent sized tubs, curry was nice decent all round flavour. Would go again probably one better ones in Weston tbh, it’s not thrown together and unthought about. Would rate this a solid 7/10.

I must apologise for not trying this place sooner. Living in Weston this is now our chippy of choice Much better than the supposedly best round the corner, don’t do Papas try here. Well Done Guys

We was in the area on Scout camp and needed 43 portions of fish and chips to eat on the beach at WSM, so we phoned around different shops until we found one that was happy to provide for us, and Pete and his team did just that, we had 43 happy campers enjoying a very tasty dinner on the beach. Thank you for an excellent dinner.

Spoke to pete at the shop and pre ordered 45 meals for our scouts They did amazing hot food, all ready on time, gave us a good discount for large group. Supplied salt, vinegar and ketchup. Highly recommend- especially for groups

Properly good classic fish and chips, best cod I've had for ages!

Lovely gluten free fish. Batter was nice and crispy. The only chip shop I found in the area that is actually gluten free. Husband had the hot dog and said it was amazing.

Came here for the gluten free fish and chips because my partner is coeliac. We were super impressed that gf is offered, and even more impressed that the batter on the fish was as crunchy as normal fish and chips! We're here for a week, will definitely be returning a couple of times as it was phenomenal. Super recommended!

This is the nicest fish and chips I’ve had in years in this town, price was fab! I was worried it wouldn’t be real chippy curry sauce as everyone uses mayflower ☹️, but it was old school curry sauce with the bits in exactly how a chippy curry should be! Fish was LOVELY and fresh! Portion size perfect, and I’m a big eater! Chips taste lovely, very happy with my order tonight & love that it comes with tartar sauce! 😋👌 thanks guys xx

Visited yesterday! Clean, friendly and super efficient people! Portions of the food just the “ right size”. ( many chip shops serves huge portions I don’t like that ) this one was just the right one! Additionally their fishes come from better sources. Amazingly they don’t use plastic packaging, and I loved their mushy peas! I am so impressed with their service, people who work there, work very hard to make sure everything runs smoothly and you can spot that from the first impression when you come in. Much appreciated, I will recommend you to anyone I know, and definitely come back next time! Cheers! 👋

The fish and chips were excellent. Having looked at the ratings prior to visiting it was decided to try here. I'm very glad that I did as the quality was excellent and the service very friendly and welcoming.

Nope... chips horrid and fish the same

Great GF fish and chips ! Staff very friendly and cod taste amazing ! Thank you ❤️

Excellent gluten free small cod and chips. Really friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Was looking forward to fish and chips here as they do gluten free for my wife. And have good reviews. Sadly disappointed . Staff were great but the food was a great disappointment. Both the normal and gluten free meals smelled and tasted of stale oil ? Could they have been cooked in the same fryer? ( then could not be called gluten free). Sorry will not go again.

After researching GF friendly options for our visit to WSM, we had no doubt in our mind that we would visit 'The Strange Catch.' My daughter really struggles to get decent fish and chips locally. However, the Facebook page, 'Coeliacs eat out too' made us feel that this would be a safe place - and boy, it did not disappoint. A whole GF menu with extremely aware staff. Able to explain the frying system in the back kitchen, offering GF vinegar etc - and she had no reaction - bonus! We sat in and ate - this is not a restaurant, but has a table for four and two large benches that seat 6 comfortably. The portion sizes were huge and the food was delicious. We 100% recommend this place

We visited here as it came recommended as a place catering to a gluten free diet. The gluten free fish was amazing, my husband actually thought it was nicer than his regular fish. The chips and curry sauce were lovely. They could consider serving the gluten free batter to everyone as it was so crispy!

Food was great .. missed part of the order .. staff couldn't understand what I was saying

Absolutely Brill Fresh and cooked to order and last 3 years serves Glueton free in separate fryers

Lovely fish, batter nice and light.

Had excellent fish and chips here this evening. Really good food, generous portions, friendly service. Plus they do excellent gluten free. Thank you.

First time here and it won't be the last. Perfectly cooked fish and chips lovely flavour and a generous portions. We will be back

Excellent fish and chips, crisp batter on perfectly cooked fish, chips were perfect too! Lovely staff

We regularly go to Weston-super-Mare. (Have done for years). We use the same fish and chip shops on the seafront. Fancied a change. Had a quick look and found this gem of a chippy. Best fish and chip shop in Weston-super-Mare by far. The fella who served us was amazing and the food was even better. Every time we visit Weston-super-Mare we will be going there. Amazing

Don't know what the last knobhead was on about but the chips are banging

Possibly the worst chips I’ve had, had a weird taste to them. Could tell they are not freshly cut from POTATOES. Not sure what oil was used but tasted off. Confused why it’s so highly reviewed, come to Norfolk, I think every single chip shop Is better than this. Expensive as well, £3.50 for some chips. Scandalous. The crows and seagulls enjoyed them though, so atleast that’s a positive. 🦤

Having not been from the area, we walked around alot of places trying to find one that was gluten-free to be told about this place. The staff were very friendly, and nothing was to much trouble.

Terrible, don't understand how this fish & chip shop has got such a high google review. Staff who seemed to have no clue what they were doing and possibly the worst chips we have ever had! If we hadn't already driven away from the area I would've taken them back. The fish was okay but not particularly crispy. Very disappointed.

Lovely fish and fresh chips, takeaway only

Have tried to visit multiple times now after checking opening times online Arrived and they were shut

Really really nice gluten free fish and chips , with even gluten free vinegar, perfect

Best take away burger and chips I’ve had. Home made and very tasty. Just what I needed on a cold dark night. Service spot on too.

Love it when you walk in and take ur order while others are still waiting for theirs! Called ahead..10 mins was ready..small cod is bigger than mine..

Delicious freshly cooked fish and chips . Wonderful friendly service and no extra charge for eating in

Chips where not cooked waited 15 minutes for chips and curry sauce wont be ever returning

Finding gluten free fish and chips is such a rare thing. But finding it with exceptional service is just another level. They couldn’t do enough for us and talked us through everything. Catered for the kids and the food was simply delicious. Our party ranged from 7 to 82 and all were happy. Made our day. Also all the packaging was sustainable and recyclable 🙌

Excellent customer service and brilliant fish and chips. Will definitely go back

Excellent service and tasty nosh.

Love the strange catch, food quality is very good and the range of offerings is incredible. They even have a gluten free menu as well as specials to pick from

Very nice Restaurant Staff very welcoming

Due to being Gluten Free, I haven’t had fish and chips for ages. I’ve just enjoyed a delicious Cod and Chips from The Strange Catch. It was superb! Thank you so much.

Best fish and chips by the beach and super friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting again!

This place is a little gem! Walk just off the main front, past the mural of the turtle and the whale and its right there! Food was cooked fresh to order, staff were kind, friendly and accommodating and they were happy to let us eat in to get out of the storm! Prices are fantastic for the portion sizes, variety on the menu and the freshness! Step away from the convenience of the chippys on the front and walk another 30 seconds down the road to support this small business ... its well worth it!

Fantastic chip shop! Great portion sizes and catered for all our dietary requirements (gluten free, vegan, veggie). Brilliant value and excellent taste. Thank you.

Staff are really friendly and the food is to die for. Bonus being they let dogs in.

First time in Weston super mare on holiday & as my partner has to eat food with no gluten in, so to come across a place that cooks gluten free fish & chips was a great find. To top it off the food was fabulous. Happy days. Thanks.

Great place for people who suffer from celiac has these plenty on the menu they also do stuff for people who aren't gluten free 😀 food was amazing

Lovely place, friendly staff, best gluten free fish, chips and battered sausage I've ever had!!!! Also the gravy, curry and tartar sauce are lovely. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Super!! Highly recommend. GF option also very good.

Finding somewhere for gluten free food is always a struggle but we are so glad we found this place it’s a hidden gem! Gluten free Cod and Chips was crispy and not greasy, and my partner loved the gluten free curry sauce! Likewise my scampi & chicken strips were juicy and crispy. The staff were so welcoming and it was just a lovely vibe there, had moments where it was very busy but with service like this it was to be expected, will definitely return again!

Went especially for the gluten free cod and chips as I had heard it was good and didn't disappoint they were lovely 🙂

Fresh fish and lovely chips. Staff was friendly as well

The only place we could find in Weston that offered other fish than Cod. That's got to be good for the planet!

A nice small chippy that hasn't let the location kill the quality. Worth the very short walk from the sea wall too grab and go. Freindly staff, lovely food and quick service.

great service, great staff, nice fish and chips although didn't try anywhere else in the town so not sure how they compare

Gluten free options always a good thing Shame the chips weren't the same as "normal " chips as they weren't home cooked style BUT fantastic Gluten free food

Just wanted to say a big thank you for today, me and my family were here visiting for the day and was struggling to find gluten free fish and chips for myself and my son. We didn’t realise you ain’t normally open on a Sunday but still went out your way to make our gluten free food. We appreciated it so much, not only that food was incredible 👏🏼 thank you so so much

Absolutely delicious cod and chips. I had small cod and small chips and it was more than enough for the average person. The fish was fresh and cooked beautifully, as were the chips. Friendly, cheerful staff and good value for money.

Amazing gluten free fish & chips. Great selection of GF food for us celiacs. Highly recommend this place.

Really friendly and helpful staff. So good to be able to find somewhere that caters for gluten free. Generous portions and really tasty. We definitely be back next time we are in Weston.

Awesome fish and chip place in Weston. Worth the extra walk 👍🏻

I think probably the best quality fish and chips in weston.

Best pea fritter I’ve ever had. Great batter to fish ratio. Comfortable sofa for waiting. Great whale mural nearby.

Great gluten-free options!!! We'll definitely be back.

I am celiac, and this fish and chip shop has become a God send, I have this most Fridays 😁 portions are a good size too!

They have really good fish, great prices and very good portions. Staff were really friendly too. The only thing I would say is that the chips are a little plain but they are not bad.

Really great food. Haddock and chips was perfect, lovely tartare sauce. Very friendly staff and very reasonably priced.

Amazing place! Incredibly friendly staff, the owner has real passion for the great quality food the prepare. Fantastic quality food, prepared fresh to order. They offer gluten free options. Simply fantastic, our go to Fish and Chip Shop.

It's very easy to go to the first chippy you see on the sea front, however I'm so glad I ventured out a little and found this place as the Fish and Chips were excellent with very generous portions. The staff were very nice and friendly and also offered gluten free options. 100% recommend.

You have to go it's amazing ,cooked fresh and the best fish I have tasted 😋oh and mushy peas !!! Oh they were soooo good

Great food from here this evening. The cod was one of the best I've had. Big portions and reasonable prices. Bonus points for being dog friendly too!

Do not miss this little gem of a place. Staff amazing and the best fish & chips EVER

As someone who had his fair share of fish and chips this place may of just taken the number 1 spot. Incredible light battered fish, crispy yet fluffy chips and the curry sauce was exceptional. 10/10 will definitely be back.

Popped in here about 5 minutes before they were due to close after an impromptu visit to Weston Super Mare, and despite there being barely anything under the hot glass, the lovely assistant was more than happy to fry up 2 fresh fish and chips for us, and the quality of the food was outstanding 👌 Highly recommended for their great service and wonderful fish n chips!

Excellent fish and chips and gluten free too. Will definitely come back again

Amazing staff and yummy onion rings

Best cod and chips I’ve had in Weston! There homemade tartare sauce is Devine

What a nice change to find a chip shop with a gluten free menu... had the best battered sausage and chips with curry sauce today... thank you so much!!

Good size portions, all hot n tasty. Went for pork burrito wasn’t disappointed would recommend. Also provide gluten free products which is pretty good imo :)

A large group of us popped for lunch, service was quick, great portions and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Certainly worth the short walk from the sea front. The batter on the fish was super light and crispy, the home made tartar sauce is amazing. The kids burgers were so good, better than in many restaurants! Great chips too!

10/10. Top scran. Absolute legends

Amazing gluten free. Best ever. Will definately be coming back when visiting.

First rate, really good fish and chips and lovely guys serving. Best fish I've had in a long time

Finally a place that caters to gluten free!

Absolutely lovely fish and chips, curry sauce...wow. very helpful and cheerful staff. Highly recommended..

Best fish and chips in Weston with lovely curry sauce.

Friendly Staff. Food checked diligently with thermometer before serving. Food quality excellent. Chips juicy and freshly cooked, I've found the chips dry at other shops in WsM. Would recommend this shop.

A great new fish and chip venue with a varied menu. I have tried the hotdogs (amazing) and fired fish also very good. Well worth giving a try

The best fish and chips I have had in weston. Perfectly cooked fish and the chips just how I like them. They were not dry like most places or greasy. Fish tasted delicious and their homemade tartare sauce perfected the meal. I will not buy anywhere else from now on. Thankyou for the nicest meal in a long time.

Wow , what a find . Amazing choice. Loved their ethos too . Had the best haddock & chips I’ve had in years . Well worth a visit .

Ordered a few times and as I am Coeliac was keen to try the Gluten Free fish and chips, absolutely amazing and not punished by getting charged more than "normal" fish and chips 😁👍

Lovely fresh GF fish and chips cooked to order. Finally I’ve found a decent GF chippy in Weston!

Had scampi here some time ago, it was fantastic!

Chilli Nachos were amazing, Fish and chips also very good, great gluten-free menu, friendly staff. Well deserve their 4.8 rating on Google

They have all the fish including: Cod, Haddock, Plaice, Pollock, Hake, Scampi. My new favourite fish is Hake. Even got a free sausage at closing time. Recommended for a visit.

Had plaice and chips it was the best I'd ever had fantastic !

Good portions, delicious and crispy food, friendly staff, and (almost all) plastic free, no soggy polystyrene chips.

The most amazing fish and chips cooked fresh and the loveliest staff! Would definitely recommend and would 100% return for more fish and chips!

Lovely fish and chips, freshly cooked while you wait, love staff definitely worth a visit.

One of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten. Looking forward to returning.
