Thorpe Fish Bar in Broadland

Good quality fish and chips but parking can be a problem. Always busy and friendly staff

It's been a long time since I last had anything from here. I always remembered it as a good chippie. It still is!

Brilliant food, all freshly made and very good value and service. One of the best chippy's I've ever been to.

Food is always fresh. Fish gorgeous. A bit pricey, would probably go more often if slightly cheaper, but again, can't fault the food.

Absolutely love this chip shop, always my go to. The staff are lovely and the food is very fresh! 11/10!

Great food and friendly service

We always come here, even though it's not our closest chip shop, because they fry in vegetable oil. The team are also great - efficient and friendly.

Gluten free option which is great . We live other side of Norwich but worth the travel . Staff were so friendly .

Avoid. I’m not sure which is the worst bit, the scarecrow they use to police their parking spaces, the overpriced mediocre food or the fact they don’t take card payments, cash only, for obvious reasons. I won’t be contributing to a business that won’t contribute back. Throw in the megaphone the owner uses to shout anyone mistakenly parking in any of the spaces they never need and you’re far better off at the nearby alternative for numerous reasons.

Best takeaway fish and chips in Norwich Eamonn knows how to fry good prices excellent food

Food is not as good as it was a few years ago. Ordered large haddock, and it came in 2 bits, and one was overcooked. Homemade curry rolls were good though.

Really good East Asian run place. Quickly served, nice food and the staff are very friendly. Really cute fish tank too! Parking might be an issue at peak times. Will likely come again if I'm peckish and in the area.

Always excellent food and service is outstanding.

Very efficient/quick service and the quality of the food is the best I have eaten in the area! Will be back, thanks guys!

High octane service and one of the best fish and chip shops in Norwich

Really good fish and chips and especially so if you're gluten free like I am, they good in a separate frier in potato starch. Absolute godsend for coeliacs like me! I thought I'd never have fish and chips again!

It has no atmosphere being a fish and chip shop but the food is always top quality. Parking can be a pain

I have bought fish & chips on many occasions from Thorpe Fish Bar & have felt the standard to be very high. There have been a very few times when they haven’t been so good, however, today they were at their worst. The chips were good but the two medium plaice were awful. The fish were flat. The skin batter were chewy. We couldn’t finish it & ended up giving it to the dog. I wouldn’t even have complained but when I phoned the shop to tell the girl who answered, I felt she didn’t really care.

We bought a regular chips and large chips with a battered sausage, all made in good time. Saw they did curry spring rolls (99p each) so had to try. Chips were delicious and they curry spring rolls...absolutely beautiful! Would go again just for those! Lovely service and atmosphere too. Reasonably priced, cheaper than some in surrounding area. Very nice all round!

Cash only, rude staff and obsessed with policing an empty car park

Food was ok. Freshly cooked while you wait. Cash only payments (not always convenient)

A bit expensive and not all options available. £9 for small cod and chips seems a bit dear. The chips were ok and the cod and batter were good but no card payments. What is it with fish and chip shops.

Arguably one of the best fish and chip shops in Norwich. Friendly staff and food is always lovely! Used to visit once a week it’s that good

Well worth waiting for your fish to he fried

This is our favourite local fish and chip shop. Food is always freshly cooked and delicious and you don't have to wait long to be served even though it is usually busy and popular. Staff are lovely and friendly, pleased to see you and always give efficient personal service. Often hear them asking people how they are and listen to customers woes with polite concern. It is always a pleasure to visit and the quality of food is excellent. Thank you for such great service. We love you and your food.

Possibly the worst fish and chips I’ve tried. Ordered cod and chips, never again.

best chip shop i know in Norwich. I go there because they make the best spring rolls and the best spicy sausage's cant get enough !! . 10 / 10...

Great place 👌 they work as a great team to get your food ready and always right too. Never any issues I only get chips here

pretty much perfect every visit

Always great food and service. Everything on the menu is good.

Lovely food and the staff are very friendly

Always smiling staff and they often give an extra pineapple ring for my daughter! Also do gluten free if you order in advance.

Lovely team and great food. Always big smiles and hellos when you walk in.

Nutjob owner, obsessed with parking, borderline psychopath. Ok chips.

Found this place 3 months ago and never looked back. Staff are amazingly welcoming with a fantastic novelty shout out when your order is ready from the fish and chips chef. Great portions here you'll never go hungry fingerlicking good. Some places get fish and chips so wrong, these guys get it so right. Try for yourself I promise you'll love the experience and most importantly you'll love your fish and chip supper.

The best fish and chips as always, great mushy peas, thanks A and team! J Young. See you soon!😁 Will be back

Eamon and his team always have a warm welcome, service is fast, food is fresh and excellent ... what more can you want from a local chippie?

Best Fish and Chips in the world! Nice people

Great food and excellent service. Love it

Having lived in Norfolk for over 20 years I’ve tried so many fish & chip shops. The best in my opinion is Thorpe Fish Bar If i am lucky to be working locally or travelling from a meeting i just have to call for my favourite Cod & Chips Food is always so nice Staff are always so nice Great portion sizes Highly recommended

By far the worst meal I have had and so expensive

Love the wedgies on a Thursday night. Change to chips. Would like them on other nights as well

Great service and fantastic fried chicken. The best in the city and better then KFC. I go there one a week and just can’t get enough of their chicken. Great chips and also great battered sausages and a surprisingly good cheese burger that was better than I expected.

Been 3 times brilliant best Chippie in norwich I travel far worth it fish fresh top notch chips to die for

Yummy yummy as always.. Staff are always friendly.. I live in Bulgaria now so when I'm over for a visit fish and chips is a not to be missed! 😋😋😋

Lovely cod and chips as usual all cooked while we waited, very polite staff definitely recommend

Best fish & chips we have had for a long time, the whole family enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended

Lovely fish and chips, 5* on those. 3" curry sauce, lacked something. Either that or I need to test for rona. Friendly staff too

Fantastic service and food! Couldn’t fault it! Portions are MASSIVE!!

Lovely fish cooked to order and not sitting around. Great friendly staff

Nice and tasty but chips can be better bit soggy

No taste, soggy and would never go back...

Just wanted to make a review on my visit this evening. 1st... called up to place a (ready to collect order) under (Dexter) at 7.45pm. which was very easy to do and the staff skills are so on point. From the moment I stepped in they ALL greeted me with my name & made me feel so welcome. The manager took the time to come out to speak to me and to greet me. The service is like no other. I've been to many 'fancy' restaurants and not even received this type of service.... The food, well... another level again. Its so on point its unreal it perfect. Quality is just 100% packed, served & cooked! Curry sauce.. its not runny, its not lumpy its not over thick.. its so on point. The cod- you can tell the oil is good and fresh as of the the look and taste. Worth every penny! By bar the best fish and chip bar in NORFOLK

Wow friendly owner not. Greeted with a sarcy what do you want! Tried to talk over me everytime i spoke and didnt listen because he was busy with a empty car park. Your fish could be the best sir but your attitude is less than standard you wont last very long id rather find somewhere else

Great food, cheerful staff, NB cash only

Visited yesterday, spent almost £40, 4 pieces of ‘regular size’ cod, 2 small sausages, 3xsmall chips, 1 small tub of peas and 1 curry sauce, and 2 ‘buttered’ rolls which look liked they’d been ‘buttered’ days previous! Took them back to my family we were visiting, unwrapped them. All 3 portions of chips were disgusting, looked like they had been reheated from lunchtime. also looked like the fat/oil needed changing in the pans, therefore the majority of the chips went in the bin. Fish was passable but very expensive considering the size of it, worked out £8.50 for a regular cod and chips. Rather pricey for a takeaway. Wouldn’t mind if it was all edible. There’s no way I would visit this shop again.

Very good as usual can't fault Eamon and his team for quick and efficient service.

Large portions, well cooked and very tasty. Would not consider going anywhere else.

Food is always hot, batter crispy and food fresh.

Amazing food, i had a burger and the rest had fish and chips. Chips were amazing, all the food was great.

Great fish and chips. Cash only.

Friend works there. Terrible wage and hours but pretty good food

First timer and can't believe how nice my large cod and chips was so I had to write a review it was so good. Thanks

One of the very few fish and chips open tonight 03.01.2022! Slightly pricier than others but worth it. Very efficient and quick service. Lots of customers coming to collect telephone orders - always a good sign. Cod was very fresh and not over cooked. Chips were slightly over cooked. Would return if I was in the area. Daughter had chicken nuggets (x8) which were freshly cooked.

Two of my friends work here they work for a pitiful wage and never get to do anything or their inconsistent times. The foods pretty good tho

Good fish and chips but a bit pricey compared to others of similar quality

I've been using Thorpe Fish Bar for quite a few years & I've never been disappointed. The food is first class & you are always served with a smile. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Not happy! Staff nice, people had a box with there fish an chip i just had paper, The chips stuck to the paper I put all in the bin by the river

A regular customer and the service and quality of the food is excellent. Would highly recommend this brilliant takeaway. Tony.

The best curry sauce in Norwich

It’s a bank holiday Monday and my usual “Frying Machine” was closed, so tried this as I had heard good things. I’m not sure if this overall star rating is before a change of ownership, or people have lost their taste buds. I’m assuming the former. The fish was swimming in grease, awfully so. It welded to the paper and I had a job getting it out of the paper. It didn’t taste especially fresh either. The batter is heavy and just absorbs all the fat/oil. *edit* After going into the fish it is clear this has also been recooked. The end of the tail is grey and smells funny. I feel sick. It’s inedible. The chips had been massively overcooked, at a guess I would say recooked. My daughter has a sausage and I can tell it’s a cheap sausage, again with very heavy batter, greasy. Disappointed and won’t be going back. Hope this review helps others avoid the same disappointment I am feeling now. They also don’t take card, cash only, which in this day and age just strikes me as extremely odd. Go to “Frying Machine” on Furze Road if you want decent fish and chips, avoid Thorpe Fish Bar.

We were looking for something to take back to our hotel tonight and came across this. Found the Staff very friend and helpful and it didn't take long before our food was ready. My partner was talking to a lady who said this was the best fish and chips in the area, even though she had come from a few miles away not locally.

We all had haddock and chips, was very nice, loads of chips. Mushy peas and curry sauce are worth an investment.

The chips i had were overcooked, dry, hard and had a dirty brown colour, they also had an old stale greasey smell, they tasted horrendous and at a cost of £2.70 i was extremely pis..d off, this was my third visit and i have no idea why i went back a second or third time, and although the staff are friendly enough thats not going to satisfy my hunger is it, the owners claim to have been there for 30 years is very hard to believe because he has no idea how to cook chips, and i believe he insults a customers intelligence by serving up reheated leftover chips from the previous day. . .i wont be going back.

I have bought my Fish and Chips from here since the shop opened back in 1980’s Fantastic and friendly service, brilliant food and really lovely owners Thank you and long May your business prosper

Very disappointed as we had been recommended this fish & chip shop Fish was eatable but lacked taste or flavour don’t know what they did to it, chips were small to large scraggy bits soggy not crispy at all also they only take cash really! With covid going on! We ordered Three large haddock & chips as it was produced fairly quickly which makes me think it was re heated! Very poor will never go back ever, don’t go there! Food expensive @ £9 x £27

Friendly staff and nice portions of food, however, this is the second time that I have been and both the chips and batter are dry…they have basically been re-heated! I thought it might have been a one off the first time but it wasn’t. Secondly for the second time running I have had a belly ache since eating them and feel like being sick, I’m not sure it’s it’s the oil they use that makes me like this or if it’s the fact they have more than obviously re-heated there food.

£20 for 2 cod and chips with 2 cans very expensive The chips were hard the fish was ok but not great They don’t take card payments? So obviously on the tax fiddle will not use them again !

Lovely freshly fried plaice and chips. Decent sized portions too. Would definitely recommend.

Love chips like this and very polite staff! I would recommend this chippy to anyone 👌

An excellent chippy with friendly service and food that always tastes fresh and hot. There is a small amount of inside seating and some temporary parking spaces outside.

The staff are brilliant, extremely helpful & the food is excellent. I can thoroughly recommend them

The usual warm welcome and high quality fish and chips, that's why we always come here.

Friendly staff great food. Good prices.

Everything was good but they Could ask customers if they want salt and vinegar on the chips

Friendly, fast service. Generous portions and perfect chips and Chinese curry sauce! Polite staff. Socially-distanced.

Average fish and chips. Quite expensive considering fish had been frozen and was tasteless.

We always have fish and chips saturday tea time ,I am a celilac , I have no complaints at all, we always phone our order through and arrive 30mins later walk in pay and collect our order .Never had bad fish & chips from Thorpe fish bar.Excellent .

I went in there for my food as I have not had any takeout food for a long time. There were far to many people waiting inside for there food. I ordered and went outside to wait there were at lest 6 or 7 people inside and everyone was using the indoor and not using the other door. My anxiety was very high.

It would be a crime not to leave a review, I'm down here working for the week and decided to look for a chippy and found the Thorpe fish bar, i had fish chips and curry sauce and have to say its the best I've had from anywhere and I work all over the country, just wish I'd found you on Monday, fantastic service thank you so much, and if I'm down here again I'll definitely be coming back, stay safe and thanks ✌❤🎼

Very nice, we enjoyed very much, a little expensive. Will return 🌹

Great..Always speedy,friendly,efficient,clean service and well cooked and tasty food...

great - keep on doing what you're doing!

My girlfriend approves of your curry sauce, very good!

Fantastic fish and chips and lovely lively people, fast and fresh service

After some time avoiding going out as much as possible due to the current lockdown, I decided to try some chips . I wish I had not bothered ! On arrival , I was almost nabbed by the head counter staff even before I stepped in .. she was so rude . She Dominated the rest of the counter staff all of the time . I opened my wallet and moved my credit card to find some cash . But , before I could do this , I was told quickly ... we only accept cash . What ... there is COVID around you know .. and cashless is good .. and I already know that you only accept cash .. by the way . Goodness knows why . The chips turned out to be over cooked and soggy . After a few bites, the rest went in the bin . Honestly, I have no idea why others rave at this high priced chippy . I will not go there again . Avoid .

Lovely food and good prices. Always enjoyable.

Having been craving for Fish and Chips for quite a while now so the four of us decided have some from our usual really great chip shop, I really wish we hadn’t bothered! The chips were absolutely terrible! Gritty as sandpaper literally thought I was eating sand. Such a massive shame because we’ve never had a bad meal from here before, in fact I’ve raved about the place to family plus we drive all the way from way from Acle to get them because they are normally so good. The sausages were fine I have to say but the fish was not it’s usual high standard by any means. Probably won’t be going back as it’s not a cheap meal anymore only to throw most of it away.

I dont normally write reviews but these guys deserve it! I called in to order food ( not realising ) before they were officially open. The gentleman on the phone was certious and friendly and took my order. When I arrived I was directed to park by an extremely friendly man and kindly guided me towards the shop. When I arrived, i was greeted again, with a warm and friendly welcome. Food was ready instantly and sent on my way finishing with a smiling thankyou and using the name I ordered with and thanked again hy the gentleman in the car park. Before I'd even had the food, every single person here had made me feel so welcome, they had turned my frowny day at work upside down and finished my day with smiles. Took the food back home to the family and not a scratch left. Perfect chips, perfect fish and my son enjoyed the battered sausage too. Honestly, dont take my word for it, give it a go. I promise you will not he disappointed :)

Best fish in Norwich, although chips not as good....
