Village Rise Fish & Chip Shop in Waveney

Cod Roe to thin. I was amazed how thin it was, it just fell apart.

After a busy day down the road at the theme park, we decided chips was an easy option. The Village Rise is located in a small precinct of shops, and there is parking just outside. After being served quickly we had a short wait and then ready to go. Before we left we was offered scraps, never been offered them before anywhere else, kids loved them!

This place has rapidly gone downhill. It used to be a regular of mine. Been tonight the chips were dry and lukewarm. The chips used to be the best thing about this place. They’re no longer. Haddock was ok, only just cooked. So meant it wasn’t piping hot. Although it was warmer than the chips. Mushy peas were really salty. I’ll never be coming back again.

The fish batter had no crispy Ness,it was soaked in oil and although the chips were new potatoes they were disgusting, lovely people though

We popped in whilst on holiday with our toddler, so glad we did! Beautiful fish and chips, cooked fresh, very friendly owners and service was quick. Couldn’t fault it at all - even so far as to say it was our favourite meal of the holiday 😊 Thanks for the lovely food!

Well worth the visit ,freshly cooked to order.and reasonable priced.

Backup as my main shop tonight was closed unexpectedly, lovely ladies serving nice and chatty, price was good for what we got. Food was definitely good. Would use again in a bind!! It was cool my extra large cod looked like a whale!!

I wasn't aware of this fish n chip shop, I was on my way home to Hopton after working at Felixstowe and googled one North of Lowestoft, I must say the Fish and chips I had were fantastic, the daughter enjoyed hers too, the staff were friendly, great fish n chip shop, will definitely be using this more often 👍🏻

No. 1 for fish and chips. Great service and great value.

Always brilliant food and fantastic portions, friendly staff. Best fish and chips in lowestoft by far.

I ended up here as my regular place was closed for some reason. Never been before. It wasn't bad. The place is clean and the staff friendly. Slightly more expensive than my regular place but not by much. Chips were great, mushy peas were cold and the fish (cod) was dry but the batter was nice. Maybe just unlucky with the dry fish and I microwaved my peas, so not the end of the World. I wouldn't change from my regular place based on this visit. Overall this place is OK but could be better, particularly with the local competition nearby.

Sadly the fish and chips were floating in Oil. Left most of it.

Great food as always along with great service, have used this chip shop since living in the estate when I was a child, lived in gorleston and still used this chip shop as no others compare!!! 10/10 always

The fish and chips sre amazing, and they serve scraps, totally worth it

Had Excellent fish chips mushy peas!! ..Best chip shop I've ever had!! Delighted to find it just around corner as well.. Will definitely be ysing regularly

Quite a popular shop but mainly due to its location and lack of competition. Free parking very close.

Only place to get fish and chips in lowestoft brilliant portion sizes great fresh fish kids love there sausages

Not impressed We had previously checked reviews and decided this was the place to go We found it quite easily - parking was good As we walked towards the shop I caught a waft of 'old' cooking oil. I'd hoped this was not the case - we were hungry and had travelled from the holiday park we were staying on. The smell inside was the same as I'd smelled outside - this didn't bode well To sum up, the beautifil white flaky cod was wrapped up in greasy overcooked batter. I removed all batter. We left our chips as they tasted awful - also cooked on old fat We may have just been unlucky- that says we would not go back Visit was Nov 2022

Fat Friday struck again for myself. I enjoyed a lunchtime feast of chips and curry. Fresh, hot and super tasty. Well worth £4.50 of any bodies money.

We went late (7:15) but had no trouble getting meal. But wow things are expensive now! 2 medium fish, 2 small chips and 2 cans for £23! Probably the right price nowadays but a bit of a shock nonetheless.

Had fish and chips from this fish shop. was the best chips I have had for a long time. and the fish was big as well .good a s yarmouth market was .keep up the good work .sue

What to say well looked it up on Google maps and as it had a good review thought we give them a try and unfortunately what a waste of time and money chip's where rotten and raw fish was bad to full of bones and small and paid for a large so don't waste your money here go somewhere else.

This is a Brilliant Fish and Chip shop The Staff was so Helpful we asked about cooking the Fish to order no problem was lovely and Fresh The Cod and Batter was so light and Enjoyed every Bit They showed us a large portion of chips which would of fed about 6 people! Very reasonably priced and near to most Holiday Sites especially Broadland Sands Will definitely go back

Found this place by happy accident while working away, and I can honestly say they were the best chips I've had since I was a kid!

Excellent fish and chips, great customer service, very friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money.

Food expensive and they closed at 715pm

Freshly Cooked Fish with Very tasty Batter. For me, chips could have done with a little longer in fryer. Next time I will ask. Good selection of traditional 'sides' and onion vinegar 😍 Staff pleasant ,cheerful and efficient. Looked VERY clean and tidy. Fairly priced. Definitely worth a visit .

Overcooked tasteless fish and expensive

So good, 1 of the 2 best chippies I've found so far in Lowestoft...very tasty and best curry sauce!! 😋

Never had a bad meal from here! Customer service is excellent and you can really taste the quality of the food! In my opinion, the best fish and chip shop in town! Very happy customers who will continue to return to this lovely, well run eatery!

Some of the nicest food I've had in a long time. The portions are so massive, bring your family to help!!!

We came to Lowestoft for a long weekend away for Hubby's 50th birthday 🎂 When you're at the seaside, you have to have Fish & Chips 🍟 correct? So decided to come to Village Rise & take it back to the hotel... where we sat outside in the beer garden... Fish 100% Chips 100% Really happy... bit expensive but worth the money 💰 Xxxxx

Outstanding!! As for Yasmin Patel's critique, she obviously didn't apply her single grey cell and ask for food to be wrapped separately. Some people always blame others for their own shortcomings and this is a perfect example.

Chips were really greasy and the haddock was dry . Very clean premises reasonable prices

Great fish and chips big portions

The best Haddock and Chips ever. Quick and friendly service, can order by phone if you wish also off road parking, a big plus. A well pleased customer .

Made the mistake of ordering large cod and large chips......phew!!!! Next time it's a regular. Very tasty.

We were on holiday in Corton and fancied a quick dinner, so come here. Really nice haddock and chips. A little greasy but was happy that everything was cooked to order. It was quite busy which is always a good sign. The place looked clean and was covid friendly. We all enjoyed our meals and got some scraps which is a bonus! yum.

Very polite. And the food is very nice

They said they have nothing to do with the prices after I purchased a piece of fish that was so small at £5 my partner didn’t even bother to eat it, he just went to mermaid and got a piece of fish worth eating! Yes I asked for small but not “tiny” The cat had that piece !

Highly recommended. Lovely fish fried to order, friendly staff, very good value for money. This chippy will be our "go to" for fish and chips from our holiday home in Hopton.

Great fish, lovely batter and big portions.

Service was awful, food wasn't great, and one big thing about contaminating other food with me is that I order three separate meals, which had fish n other meats however they shoved it all into one wrap so now I can't eat my meat as there's fish in my meal, also I had a meal missing out of the lot and I had apparently not said it however I repeated my order twice. Can say after15 years of good service has defiantly gone out the window for this fish and chips.

Lovely chips and great service.

Arrived in Suffolk and didn't know where to get food, found this chip shop highly rated on Google maps, it did not disappoint and brilliant prices too. Would definitely go back if we visit again!

An outstanding chippy that serves fresh hot food, everything was spot on, has to be one of the best chip shops around, portion sizes are very generous one of the best things I've found on Google maps.

Lovely fish and chips best in town . Lovely staff too highly recommend

Friendly staff great value tasty fish and chips.

On a family weekend away and fancied Fish & Chips and found this place or should I say plaice 😉😂 on Google, so glad we did, was absolutely lovely, best I have had in a long while. Could tell it was all fresh and good quality food used. Was nice clean shop and staff where lovely and friendly. Definitely recommend x

Amazing chippy great portions & tasty. The scraps were a extra bonus as we haven't got them in our chip shops back in Hertfordshire. We were on holiday & will return just alone for this chippy

Amazing, Great fish and chips everytime, watch chip portion size!

Fantastic cod and chips. Huge portions. Hot. Chips and fish perfect. Will not bother trying anywhere else. You're stuck with us.💕

Delicious freshly fried local fish served with a generous portion of the finest chips. I can't wait to go back.

Really friendly service, lovely chips and tasty crispy batter - thick without being soggy.

The fish and chips were so greasy the grease had completely soaked through about 8 sheets of paper. It wasn't too long after I had eaten it that I wished I hadn't! The shop was very clean and the fish and chips were cooked to order. Staff were very friendly. Not going back again though!!!!!

I had a large fresh haddock and it was delicious, it was so white and chunky and very meaty.

Friendly staff just a shame the fish was over cooked

Moved into the area a few months ago and asked around which was the best place for F&C and Village Rise was the most mentioned. Large menu, All cooked fresh.

Its really nice here. The food is great and the people are really friendly.

Not a bad fish & chips shop as they go, enjoyed my meal. 🐟🍟 👍

Nice people.... good service and the fish and chips were tasty, a tad too much oil though.

Omg lush chips, great menu choice, everything cooked fresh to order. The fish are absolutely huge!!!! We went with medium fish at £5.90 chips were £2 something for medium which is enough for two people easily.

Great food, lovely crisp light batter on the fish. Good portions would recommend

Super people great fish and chips highly recommend...
