Waterfront Fish Bar in North Somerset

Average experience. Have to be careful about cleanliness. Food also average taste. Previously it’s very very good. But now quality is bit law.

Went to the Waterfront fish bar down the promenade on the sea front! Beautiful freshly cooked fish and chips!! Lovely friendly staff and perfectly cooked!!

Classic English fish and chips by the sea. Nothing fancy but it was alright.

I gave the service 3 stars because they can’t really get it wrong, at one window someone takes your order then at another window someone else gives you your order. The food was TERRIBLE, my family had been looking forward to fish and chips on the sea front since we arrived (Brean) 8 days ago. What a huge disappointment this was, all of our fish was well overcooked, the batter was hard and a very dark colour not light and golden. The fish inside was not white and flakey but dull and FULL of bones. The chips were below average not quite frozen chips from a bag but not far off. The atmosphere was dire as you could see all the other families were having as poor an experience as what we were having. 100% will not be returning and would not encourage anyone else to waste their money.

Came to Weston really looking forward to Fish & Chips, sadly it was not what we hoped it would be. The fish was burnt and absolutely full of bones and this was not a one off as there was bones in all the other pieces of fish ordered also. Chips were ok just a small amount and curry sauce I’ve had much better. All in all not a great experience and will not be returning.

All had fish and chips here, sat outside and people watched while we ate. Food was good, big fish good chips. I’d eat here again.

Lovely fish and chips with decent portions. The only let down was the battered sausage, not really what you’d call battered. Overall it was nice.

Went to have the traditional Cod and Chips by the sea as they had a 5 hygiene rating. Nice people just disappointed by the food. The cod was not deboned which is unheard of today and the chips had a really strange taste to them.

Fish was not only tasteless but also full of bones, I politely asked the restaurant if this was correct and I was shrugged off and given horrible looks! Awful service, the chips were also more like Chinese take out chips rather than a traditional chip shop would be

We had three lots of fish and chips for lunch. Service was friendly, however the table for salt and vinegar was dirty and needed a wipe down. Portion size was fair, we felt the fish was overcooked.

A lovely view to eat fish and chips from and some really good chips! Unfortunately the scampi was very poor, not very salty. I’d guess it was frozen, as I had to wait longer than other orders for it to be cooked, and it was very watery inside. The prawns were also not deveined which was not pleasant to see. Also had to pay £8.50 for it. Won’t be ordering it again.

Had scampi and chips, scampi freshly cooked, lovely portion of chips, not been there before totally recommend them and excellent value for money.

Buttered sausage? Really? My child said it is very sad sausage. Shame. How long it was waited for customer? Few hours.

Would not go there again- stingy chip portions - rubbish customer service!

Awful service rude says we're closing still serving 30 min later. Plenty of other choices

Really good value for money .. the portion size was great

Chips always nice here however the curry sauce I was just served was like soup it was that thin !!!! How they serve that up as curry sauce is criminal! Dish water !!!!

Great chips! Can't comment on the fish etc as we only got their chips but they're lush 👍

Best fish and chips on by the beach. Very quick service, great food, great view

Best fish and chips always fresh and delicious worth it 100 percent!!!

We ate outside, so can't comment on atmosphere. Couldnt fault the freshly cooked Fish and Chips, a very generous serving well worth 8.25.

This was the worst fish and chips I have ever eaten. It was disgusting and left a nasty aftertaste. I felt very ripped off

Unfortunately called in for a fish and chip lunch. Staff were friendly but the food was absolutely dreadful and inedible. The fish must have been around for hours. It was very thin and dry and the batter was soaked through and running with fat. It all ended up, virtually untouched, in the bin. Probably the worst fish and chips we have ever had. Disappointing as we generally really like Weston.

The chips I had was ok, they always have taste better from the seaside, and they are always really quick at get the food put for you as I've never had any issues with this fish bar as goto this one most of the time when I'm in Weston super mare

Despite seemingly changing hands over the past couple of years, these are still by far the best fish and chippies in Weston! And good value for money. The queues are testament to that, too!

Premium priced food for low quality food. Cheap quality fish, the only preparation taken part is dipping it in the batter. Bones throughout, and skin left on. Not told this until I sat down to eat. Imagine if a child had this and didn't notice??? Pure laziness of staff and lack of warning. Disgusting attitude from servers. Wouldn't recommend again.

Large portion of chips was £3.45. Not the best chips but OK size and crispy with a fluffy inside. Little seating area out front is good to eat.

Nice chips but awful fish so full of bones it was totally inedible

The Waterfront Fish Bar. First visit to this fish bar. Great service when ordering my fish and chips. Food served in good time and great standards. Fish was a great size, chips was cut well. The fish passed the crunch test and nice white cod. Chips was crispy and fluffy. Great price and just right size for a meal for the price. When in the area next I will return. Recommend.

Had chips n curry sauce here twice. Very nice.

The food was excellent, we had lunch and sat in the restaurant area upstairs, service was great, they even brought our food up to the table for us once it was cooked.

Fairly large size piece of cod (maybe 5-600g?) and portion of chips for £7.95, but with skin-on (ick,) that wasn't mentioned. Next door at a (cheaper) chippy, which had been in business for 80 years, they advertised skinless, boneless; I should have gone there. This fish was dry and overcooked, considering I purchased during lunch rush, this should not have occurred. The staff were efficient, but not welcoming. I guess it's just an industry: gobs filled. I will not go back.

The older women who works here is vile! Had a problem with her a few times now. not sure customer facing is the best for her. Shame because I enjoyed their chips! But now refuse to eat here! Tried the fish and chip restaurant next door and it was delicious with excellent service! Think I’ve found my new spot!

Nothing special. A long wait for Fish thats overcooked with bullet proof batter. Would not go there again for fish and chips.

visited on holiday ordered meals to eat in did not do hot drinks...directed upstairs take our own food .....food was good...dining area scruffy(very)....table top was loose....not the ritz....not very clean don't bother.

Used to really enjoy here as there chips were really nice however I went here today to order chips, 2 curry sauces and a portion of peas and the lady serving us had made an error on the order previous to ours so the cod and chips she had, was put back into the holding counter and the chips were thrown back in on top, she then proceeded to put these chips into a polystyrene tray for us. If I ate fish and didn’t have an intolerance, would have been okay; however I had explained that those chips would make me ill as it was cross food contamination due to me having a fish intolerance. She then proceeded to argue with me and tell me that all the vats of oils are mixed together and passed down from one vat to the chips, meaning the chips are not cooked separately and are all cooked with meat. Therefore if you are vegetarian or vegan you will be eating cross contaminated food. No signs are put up to inform customers of this and the cross food contamination could make people seriously ill so please beware. She also told me that if I had illnesses I shouldn’t eat there. Personally after 2 years of enjoyment, I shall not ever be ordering from there again.

It may be a personal taste, but I don't like my battered fish to still have the skin on it so it's not for me.

It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining, we'd gone out to collect something and decided to have a very late lunch 5pm ish more like early dinner, we were pretty much in Weston-super-Mare so what better than sitting on the sea front with a bag of chips watching the world go by. We parked up near the front but every fish&chip shop was closed or closings, right opposite the Pier, The Waterfront chip shop was still open so we gave it a go, I sat outside, hubby ordered cod and chips mushy peas and a bread roll for himself and I had chips and curry sauce and a bread roll, the food was really quick, and really nice, possibly the nicest I've had in a long time, with hubby saying the best mushy peas he's had in a very long time too. It only had 5 or so outside tables don't think any inside, perfect for a sunny day not so on a rainy day, but the food is in take away boxes so just as good to have in the car on that rainy day still watching the world go by So to summarise.... Great location, Great food, Great people watching spot, Great car watching spot, great service and Great value for money, we were really really pleased we went there, will definitely go back.

It's a 5 star from me, gr8 food, gr8 value, gr8 location, gr8 service and a gr8 place to watch the world go by weather seated at the chip shop, sat on the sea wall or in your car on a rainy day. Less than £15 for the 2 of us which is a very good price compared to the chip shops in our town.

Terrible fish and chips, fish had skin on and was full of bones, rock hard batter and totally tasteless, chips were as bad..absolute waste of money as it all went in the bin. Certain the fish was not cod and was definitely not fresh, saw a large tray full of fish brought through to be put into the hot plate so is definitely not cooked to order. Never buy from there again.

Lovely staff excellent food as always absolutely beautiful

After being let down with places I bookmarked to go for lunch as they weren't open, we came across this place as there were a lot of people buying from there. It was just exactly what we wanted: Cod & Chips for £7.95. Big portion, freshly made and at reasonable price. We made use of the sunny weather and sat outside. A lot of spaces to sit to enjoy it. Recommended.

Absolutely brilliant for the prices can't knock it. A top tip is to get drinks beforehand as the food is very reasonably priced and the curry sauce etc but the drinks are on the dearer side. Plenty of tables and chairs to sit on and eat it.

They left the scales on. Who does that? The chips were alright but you can’t mess those up the batter was thin and soft but also hard.

Been going here for years and always loved the practicality of the location. Usually get a buttered roll and curry sauce with my chips. They are lovely and crunch. Even open today in the winter which was perfect for me and the kids on a day to the beech

It was carnival night had to wait but brilliant considering the amount of people there.

Terrible fish and chips ...the batter was not crispy but soggy ..Brown fish . This cod had definitely been pre cooked and sat there for hours . Will definitely never eat there again Should of went next door No1 fish and chips .

Excellent fish and chips at a very reasonable price.. Only £8.90p - including a drink. Served promptly, hot and fresh. Highly recommended

Ordered cod & chips, went to collect - only to find, the fish, and no chips!! Looked surprised when I asked for them! They were quite nice, decent colour but, the fish comes in a hard board batter which is difficult to eat or swallow! Could you use a lighter batter, maybe?? Maybe next year . . . Price was pretty good at today’s prices. No other fish available though.

The fish was fantastic my dad said it was the best sea sides fish he has had in a long time and very very good prices and he has seen a lot of fish and chips in his time.im was great as well .so please come to Weston super mare it a pach of hevan this place.

Went to Weston Super Mare for the day and this was one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, very friendly staff, nice dining area and the food was excellent! Curry sauce is a must with fish and chips and my word it didn’t disappoint! Fantastic food would come back in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work guys!

The rudest Woman I have ever encountered works here. I had food from next door and sat on outdoor seating, not realising it belonged to this place. Can I just say, on a September afternoon where NOBODY else was sat on their tables, to tell me to get off their tables I found incredibly insensitive, rude and unnecessary. You could have raised the issue and allowed me to continue feeding my child yet you forced us to leave. . The fact their seating apart from us were empty speak volumes. I used to visit this place as a child and brought my small family to experience their food but I can now say in confidence I will never return. Get rid of Karen.

Excellent Fish and Chips, freshly cooked. Great ordering system. Seating area out the front, friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Great service, very pleasant and food came out quickly. Fish was almost certainly not Cod, cooked with skin on and very greasy. Chips were nice, seemingly the cheapest place in the vicinity, and also has a handy little ropes off seating area. Very good location. It wasn’t the best and i wouldn’t go rushing back, but overall it did the job.

Awful fish had skin on and bones batter uneatable, even the sea gulls were not interested. Kids nuggets consisted of 3 small pieces for £4.50. Should have gone next door

Had the best chips ever at this place. Clean and comfortable seating. Good value for money. Highly recommend

Terrible service, mis heard us and placed extra stuff on order and shamefully we didn’t complain at the time to sort it. And when we sat down to eat, the whole lot we ate was foul, never would return and wish we’d paid a little extra elsewhere

Expensive, poor quality food, dirty, dingy eating area

This was by far the best fish and chips, ive had in ages!!! Usually i find fish and chips a bit bland and have an alternative but i thought id give it go. It was really tasty and it might have to be our new caravan tradition. Also excellent service and duper fresh!

First I will say staff really pleasant. Unfortunately that was the best part. We ate here last visit to Weston and really enjoyed the cod and chips so naturally this was the first place we headed for on our return. It wasn't busy with seats available to sit and eat. All three of us had the cod, none of us enjoyed it. The fish was really wet to the point of of bordering on sloppy and the batter was not at all crispy and was a little leathery to eat. Chips were ok but not as good as I remembered from last time. We saw other people who had the fish and theirs was the same. I'm sorry to sound so negative but I've had better at many places before and even here.

The chips were lovely, bread roll stale 🙈 and the fish bites were chicken not fish walked to far before i realised it wasn't fish but was nice. The lady seemed very grumpy and didn't want to be there 🙈

Big portions cooked well and cheap.as chips!!

Chips are really good. Great price and not greasy. Fish a bit on the thin side but crispy. Seating upstairs is clean and stops you getting attacked by seagulls or blown away. Recommended

I ordered a regular portion of chips and mushy peas which came to £3.50. I believe this is very reasonable, however, the chips were terrible. Half were over cooked and had clearly been sat around for a considerable amount or time, resulting in a cold and soggy experience. The mushy peas were also cold bland and provided no extra flavour. Overall, the worst chips I have ever bought , complete waste of money . It may have been due to the fact we arrived an hour before closing , but that doesn’t excuse the complete disregard to attention and quality of their product. Never again.

Great for value, good for flavour Whenever I am in Weston, this is the go to do fish and chips In a competitive area, this stands out for value and taste As you can see from the photo, great portion and friendly staff 🙂

simply worth a visit when ever you are in Weston, the staff are friendly and helpful ,a great choice of food , the cod we had was lovely and the chips just right, ***** star great prices bargain

Tried to pay with card but the machine was down so was directed next door to a cash point which charged me £1.90!, the bought 2 x cod and chips which were covered in oil the bater was smooth and saturated in oil and undercooked, what a complete waste of time and money chips were anaemic too they could have benefitted from hotter oil and time to cook! Gross!

Literally just eaten fish and chips on the seafront... away for the weekend... Nice people, good price, great food and decent portions

The food was lovely however they tried card payment and it didn’t work twice so I decided to get cash out instead and I now looked on my online banking and they have taken them two payment as well as cash and I am no longer in the area

Soggy battered fish with mediocre chips that had plenty of black/bad bits. Petty that they charge extra for condiments especially as already relatively expensive. Would only suggest a visit if you don't want to leave the seafront and you're visiting off season/winter.

If you are looking for anything more than chips then walk by Chips were a 7 out of 10 Fish 1 out of 10. Not even sure it was cod and very possibly frozen. Certainly not fresh, the fish was slimy and not flakey, batter was soft apart from a small piece on the tail which I wouldn’t eat anyhow. Fish was skin on which is cool but bones aplenty which is not cool in this day and age. Curry sauce was 6 out of 10. I could see the battered sausages that other people weee served, these looked terrible also. Wouldn’t go back here

Very average, battered sausage looked like it had been

Loads of bones,dangerous for kids,batter was flat and greasy fish was flat very much a mehh experience considering the price

Visited about a year ago and the food was ok. Tried it again in August and much has improved. It was a lovely evenings day, there was outdoor seating, the ordering system seems to have improved and the food was pretty much cooking as customers arrived, which meant the food we got had pretty much just come out the fryer. The chips were nice and the fish actually wasn't to bad, good size, crispy batter and not soggy and greasy.

Had cod and chips here on our recent visit to WSM . The fish was was huge in a lovely golden batter and the chips were cooked to perfection , even the curry sauce was good and at £6.95 the price was good too. I can eat quite large portions but I couldn’t even finish it all . I would definitely recommend to others .

We stopped here after going on the arcade games, the fish and chips portion were very very good for the price. The only thing we hoped for is that my partner's fish was a little more crispy. Would have given it 4.5 stars if I could!

We had a fantastic day at Western Super Mare and whilst there we decided to buy food at the Waterfront Fish Bar. We queued outside for about 10 minutes, before ordering two portions of fish and chips. We shared our meals with our young son,...

There OK for beach front seaside chippy they had the market cornered Sunday night only chippy open for miles. My only quibble was they were to busy to ask questions on asking the server if the chips where gluten free he shrugged his shoulders and said they might be but probably not this is not a helpful answer to give with a hungry Coeliac in the family. It said on the window to ask about diatary and allergy info my advice don't bother your wasting your time.

Large portions really nice. Only down point was curry sauce too watery but that's just my opinion as others liked it.

This place was recommended to us and we thank that person as they were spot on! We had the fish and chips for us and then the chicken nuggets and chips for my son. They don’t do child’s portions which is one of the only...

We are a group called stepping out, we provide all day provision for young adults with additional needs. Today was our 9 year anniversary and we planned a day trip to weston super mare. We all had such a lovely day and to top the...

Had two fish one for myself the other for the wife, cost £10.90. In the past this was the place to go for fish and chips not now, fish tasted terrible could not add your own salt they soaked it in vinegar, my wife's went in the bin, what a waste, next time we visit will eat anywhere but here,

Good Points: - Prices are reasonable, - Decent Portion, - Convenient Location, - Quick Service - Open when others were closed (which is why we got it from here) But the fish was very bland and so were the chips. All three of us didn't end up finishing it. 😬 Based on the fish and chips alone, I would rate it lower but wouldn't be fair considering the good points.

Have eaten here before this time very disappointed fish batter was all soggy so couldn't eat it

Worst chips ever, overpriced and when you ask if you would like salt and vinegar try not overloading it with salt be nice to see some chips other than a tray of salt! Price is shocking £5 for sausage and chips, I wouldn’t return, thankfully...

Good value and Fast service. Freshly prepared cod and chips by lovely Greek family. Always find a queue for takeaways

Busy enough to ensure fresh produce. Fish about half the size I'm accustomed to.

Amazing fish and chips thank you horoughly enjoyed them

Absolutely discussed waiting in the clue with loads of other customers to be told they are closing before there actual closing time seeming it's been lock down I guess they don't want the money I guess the government funding was to good that comes out...

Had chips and fried chicken burger and it was spot on and for a great price👍

It came in a lovely big box, but the portions were rather poor inside it. The food itself turned out to be utterly dreadful.. The 'fish' had the skin left on, and was sliced thinner than the soles of a ballerinas shoes. I've seriously had more 'fish' in a no frills fish finger. No idea what kind of 'fish', it was, but it certainly wasn't Cod. It was bland and tasteless. The final let down was that the chips were awful too. Luke warm and half cooked. Beats me why are so many of our seaside 'Fish & Chip' shops so abysmal?! Ruined a nice day out.

Great value on the seafront. After trying several of the “best” in Weston shops and repeatedly being disappointed, this little gem stands out. Always fresh and hot. COVID safe as well.

Always great fish and chips freshly cooked at a good price.

Great fish and chips at the seaside. Not the cheapest but probably the best.

Real fresh and hot! Warmed us through on a cold and wet anniversary when elsewhere was closed

The worst ever, the fish is not Cod and the southern Chicken taste like it from a frozen packet. A place to avoid i think.

Chips are good here but the fish and I mean fish....they don't actually state your getting cod ...well regardless its terrible...skin on the underside ..no batter on underside just fat ...batter on upperside is just like a sheet of cardboard ...don't waste your money ...I...

Chips were nice and only £1.50. But bought 3 fruits shoots and 2 Pepsi and that was £8.40! Drinks are clearly a rip off

Fish was amazing, chips a bit whelming could of done with a little longer in the fryer. Readable priced.
