The Viking in Watford

First and last time getting food from this place. Food was average, only got cheesy chips and donner meat and a drink. The workers had nothing but attitude and simply plain rude. Asked for a drink to be added to my order, the guy looked at me and flat out ignored me and started speaking in his language to the guy stood next to me. They had fresh chips, put cheese on then put it in the microwave, touched my donner meat with their bare hands when putting it into the box, slamming my drink down on the counter with the dips. Customer service is everything to a business and this place is seriously lacking. Was recommended this place from my partner, said the owner was really nice. Clearly the owner wasn't in today when I visited. 3* hygeine rating and I can see why, 0* customer service.

Have been getting deliverys from the Viking for years and always enjoyed the food. It's the chilli sauce that makes the kebabs so good especially. The delivery drivers are always friendly and polite. Over all I've never contemplated going anywhere else.

They have unique taste of fish and chips and doner kebab.

EDIITNG THIS REVIEW UPON OWNER RESPONSE. What a rude sassy reply. you do not respond to PAYING customers like that . i paid for food and expect good quality to be delivered, (other places can easily be consistent so why is it so difficult for you !) fyi the food the last few times has not been up to scratch as you can see i barely leave bad reviews so it is not just to attack a business. i did not ring up because look at how you have responded to other complaints in this comment section and these are over a year ago and you haven't made any improvement. my review wasn't rude in the slightest so to get a response with sass is honestly plain weird . especially from a middle aged man like yourself Ijaz. ORIGINAL REVIEW: been coming here since i was a child! first chip shop i remember and usually is spot on...unfortunately i ordered last night and it came quickly but was not fresh and chips were just limp/almost undercooked and extra soggy - had to chuck them in the airfryer :(

Been eating here a while, the food is good, delivery is fast. Had a slight issue with an order last night, accidents happen and I judge a company on how they sort out the issue. They handled it like champs, sorted the issue right away, I can’t fault them and will continue using them as they rock with customer service

Viking is always nice tasty good quality food

Average fish and chips i think for the money you should do better.. what I didn't like the most was random delivery drivers walking into the cooking section area and touching the food which is not acceptable at all.

The fish was chunky and delicious!

Been eating food there for years all good

Have ordered from Viking now many times every order was correct on time food is hot even the chips the food is very tasty

Fantastic service and food as always top notch. I ordered large cod small chips & box of doner meat plus two cans of coke. It arrived before ETA. Food was hot and delicious. Massive value for money. Plus I got 2x really good size of cod, loads of chips -ordered small. Doner meat was good too. Not all rubbery & it was very nice. All of this came out to £20.96. Granted I’ve an Uber one account, with the special offers they had I got my huge chips for free. I would not go anywhere else. Thank you to the Viking!!! Amazing and fabulous!!!!

I have not lived in Watford for over 6 years still the best in town! Highly recommend

Great food and fast delivery. But do not sell Pollock which is a poor man's fish and a lot cheaper then other fish. I know it's not on menu. But can you tell me why.

Very nice people, good nostalgic fish and chips too. Seeing as I'm traveling they let me and my partner pay for a medium fish rather than the large fish and chips he gave us. Very canny.

Do not do traditional food for a English fish an chip shop. Up dated. Traditional means pork sausages, spam fritters, crackling and other pork products.

Amazing food. Best curry sauce in Watford.

Brilliant food, been ordering from here for a few years and never had a bad experience!

Great tasting food and fast delivery too 😋

Delicious food and delivered on time. Well pleased.

Chips were a bit small for a large and the chilli and garlic sauce was very tight also, prices keep rising though!!!

food is good but portions smaller than others in the area. probably won't order again because of portion size.

Always enjoy my lamb doner good portions size and not greasy

The food was delicious the best fish and chips in my local area. Will definitely be buying food from there again. Reasonable prices too proper chip shop chips.

great food always hot and on time

Fantastic food, prepared quickly - definitely will order from here again

Best fish and chips in Watford!

didn't not get the food and send it to the wrong address

Delivered earlier by ten minutes. Even came back to give us extra garlic mayo as we had accidentally unnoticed the one they packed for us which was under the paper. I thought they hadn’t delivered it. I called them to deliver us a new one and they delivered it so quickly. This was a mistake in our behalf which we will apologise and refund them for. Great service.

Freezing cold food and burnt chips have photos to prove it

Amazing food friendly staff and quick service. I can see why they have been in business for so long 👌

Chips were cold and not very nice, but Fish was nice

All good, burgers a little more well done would be perfect

I didn't have the curry source that I ordered. And the chips like they were about a week old and the fish wasn't cooked Enough.

First order cancelled with no explanation!!!! Good job I don't contact my business like this!!!!!

Great service lovely fresh food. 10/10

very tasty as always, great portion size and a good deal!!

Food delicious as always, made to request and delivered on time Very Highly Recommended

More of a takeaway or delivery than a restaurant, The Viking Fish and Chips has some seating for dine-in customers. However, we stopped off for a meal of good ol' fish and chips and we weren't disappointed. I went into the establishment and made my order. Two fish and chips, tartare sauce and mushy peas. While I was waiting and watching the gents (Kashmiri, with the requisite sense of humour) were close to overwhelmed with the number of orders being prepared. There's an old expression from Australia that goes: "Busier than a one-armed cab driver with a bad case of the crabs." This was certainly the case at The Viking Fish and Chips. The food was delicious. The Cod cooked to perfection, the chips crispy with some scraps. Totally enjoyable and filling. Highly recommended.

Ordered the Viking Special including salad items to be included in special. It arrived without salad included. I also ordered a side salad separately so they clearly didn’t understand the order.

Don't get poisoned here! Avoid at all costs...

I like ordering from here for chicken nuggets and chips with Apple Tango.

This guy try to deliver the food through the mail letter place !!!

Viking chip shop, I've been going there on and off for years, and the standards have always been high, and there chicken shish kebabs They are great and always fresh chips. 5☆.

Not the nicest chips chicken burgers were horrible no sauce or salad and wasn’t very hot don’t think i will use again 👎

Food was late. Onion 'ring' was disgusting.

Didn’t even come I don’t have it

Always used to come here when in Watford and it was always good. But now it's another business where the price has gone up and the quality gone down. Hard chips, had to bin nearly half of them due to the amount with black eyes

Order a arrived later then expected 45 minutes late and was not hot

Very good as always and a very nice, friendly driver. Wish I took his name.

Placed an order online for delivery, received two confirmation emails and then after over an hour of waiting phoned to check. They said they’d cancelled my order without notifying me. Terrible service.

I received a burger, but it was missing the lettuce, and it had red sauce on it . I don't eat red sauce. it's a shame cause this is the only place I come for my burgers as they are so nice.

Really nice chips and sausage was missing a curry sauce but they dropped it straight away

Best fish n chip - doner, sausage & burger place around, been using them for 25yrs and still the tastiest, I love our family kebab nights and really look forward to them, we'll done guys for keeping the same recepies etc

Friendly staff nice place too eat

Food was cold. Delivery was late. Curry sauce was so thin it may as well have been water and had no taste. Mushy peas portion could probably not have been smaller. Fish poorly (over)cooked. Waste of my money.

They have a Halal sign, but they also have non halal stuff on the menu. Please ask before ordering for Halal stuff.

Big portions. Some of order was missing but this was dealt with very quickly and was worth the wait.

Big long black hair in my food. Never go back again... 🤢🤢🤢

Good quality, great service, they rang me when I forgot to add any extras 😊

Excellent service. Excellent food.

Pretty solid overall, but stay WELL clear of the chili sauce, it's not chilli sauce it's basically ketchup

1 star psml lucky there isnt a zero as thats all u would be getting after my order was 25mins late then turn up with What absolute garbage u call food being cold stale having to microwave your food to edible temperature after waiting past delivery time isnt what people expect paying you thier money won't be wasting my custom here again

Order off this guys quite a bit, no complaints top guys, legends. Scott/Rebecca

The food was very nice unfortunately I was charged £140 for a £32 delivery as their online booking system was faulty.

Fish was lovely. But the chips saturated in oil which was not pleasant.

Missing a slice lemon,or a deep but fish and chips nice.

As for many years, the Viking was to the ulmost.

Excellent quality, tasted great, as usual.

Jokers! Didn’t send half the order requested abd ciyldnt get hold of them to rectify error. Absolute cowboys! All contact numbers tried and didn’t work. They just hide behind apps like just eat etc.

Unfortunately the food was cold and tasted like it was cooked a while ago. Definitely not fresh. Disappointed as I buy from The Vikings quite often (usually I pop in and order so I know the food is fresh) but this time decided to order through this app. I’ll stick to going in rather than using the app, which I assume they try to use to get rid off any old food not sold.

I got their for collection only to find out that the order is cancelled!

The food was awful. Ordered large Cod but it was tiny, oily and not cooked fresh. Cold soggy chips that were not fresh. Had to throw the food away. Really disappointed as food is usually decent from here.

Probably in the Top3 best takeaways In Watford. Extremely efficient staff and service is top quality. Food never disappoints. Price reflects the quality of the food so is more pricey compared to some of the competition but worth paying extra for quality food.

Really nice chips (proper “chip shop” chips)

This has to be the best fish, chip and kebab shop in the county. We order from here at least twice a month if not weekly! Everything is very fresh almost every single time, and even when it's not been cooked immediately before serving it's still good. The kebabs have plenty of salad, they're made exactly how you want them, the kebab and chilli sauces are actually hot, the meat is cooked with searing, the grilled veg is amazing. Just every part of the kebab is how it should be. The fish is fresh and the portions are generous.

Nice food shame driver got lost and food wasn't all that hot but edible

Food was usual high standard and very tasty. Friendly delivery man.

My Fish & Chips came early, medium hot but it was fresh, not dried out from a heat lamp or microwave 😂 good food but would have liked it hotter.

Very speedy service hot food definitely order again

So hot and delicious as always highly recommend best chippy around

Delivery was very quick but unfortunately, food was cold and very greasy.

Great chippy if a little pricey

My hotel messed up and sent them away and they came back, top level service

Been to this takeaway loads and the food was good but tonight not value for money also did not listen to order properly won’t go again

I can’t recommend this establishment enough bough, good food, great staff, excellent service! After placing an order with the wrong address in error, they went above and beyond to get the order to me! Well done. They have made a patron out of me for life!
