Ordered fish and chips, fish was fine, chips ok, the fishcake I ordered for my child was fridge cold in the middle and overdone on the outside so I wasn’t confident serving it to him. Saveloy for my father was also cold. Really gone down hill.

My partner and I were shopping in Manchester and feeling a bit peckish when we stumbled across this chippy, we both needed to eat after a lot of retail therapy and boy am I glad we found this chippy! Firstly the premises were modern and clean, secondly the staff were welcoming and friendly and most of all the Fish and Chips were simply delicious. In my opinion the best Fish and Chips in Manchester. When ever I visit Manchester I will defo be going back to this great chippy, I couldn't recommend it more.

I think it sums up how popular this chip shop is, by the queues, not only during the day but in the evening too. The whole place looks spotlessly clean and the staff get through the queues quickly whilst remembering everyones orders which always amazes me. The chips are delicious, better than any of the other chip shops in Ware. Always piping hot and the chips are always big proper chips, not full of the small crispy ones which I do not like. They are cooked to perfection and the cod is a good size too. They also have a buy one get one free on a Tuesday for cod and chips which is amazing value. The staff are lovely and engage with the customers.

Me and the family made use of the Tuesday special deals. 2 medium cod and chips for the price of 1. The chips were delicious and the fish flakey and fresh. Also on another note my partner said that the curry sauce was the best she’d had and I have to agree. 4 empty plates and satisfied bellies. Strongly recommend Wrights. Best in town

We came baxk after Covid quarantine to find a queue a mile long. The owner was cooking, fish was scalding hot and in the large and small portion, generously weighed and fried to perfection, the quality of the fish is again the best creamy taste. The chips are back to being savoury, meaty and delicious crispy taste, not too oily or soft and soapy as last time. So glad to see this shop fight off the threat of closure, improve back to it's original quality. I just hope the owner takes his time to train all staff how to cook everything as well as he does, crispy, hot and delicious. The deal on Tuesdays of 2 for 1 is a great money saver and well worth a meal :) They are very adaptable and even though they ran out of medium cod, they compromised and sold 1 large cod with the entire delicious tail and 1 small cod which were huge portions.

I used to love Wrights, but after this evenings disaster I realise I’ve only been going recently out of a sense of loyalty. Fish inside the batter was dried out and I was actually doubting that it was cod. Batter was overly crispy/cooked up. Chips were like cardboard. Will have to find another shop, it’s just not the same quality since it’s been taken over. To be fair the staff are cheerful and friendly.

No the chips taste like boiled potatoes and soapy soft. Seems like the kids who work there don't know how to cook crispy chips. Last few years this chippy was excellent. But the fish are cut to thirds now instead of Half's and they say things like 'large middle' for a block of fish brick shaped that tastes like cardboard. The fish and chips have really gone down in quality for the last eight months. Disappointing but I won't be back. Can't stand the taste any more.

I lived across the road from here for years. I used it occasionally and - to be fair - always played devil’s advocate. I asked for mushy peas, knowing full well that they didn’t sell them. But the response that ‘we don’t sell them, we’re a *proper* fish and chip shop’ did and still does make me laugh. Seemingly nothing has changed. Next they’ll no doubt stop selling fish yet still have a rod up their proverbial. A reasonable chippy with airs above their station.

We had a group of Chinese visitors who wanted to experience the British fish & chips tradition and so off we went for 9 lots of cod & chips. We opted for the medium size and the fish was huge, super-tasty with crunchy batter. They came with generous portions of chips to die for. This is a friendly, small but efficient chippy and, despite being on a permanent diet nowadays, this place makes a weight small gain worth it! Great value for money at around £6 per person.

We visit Devon every year and eat at a fish and chip shop in Beer. The fish and chips are excellent but you would expect that in a fishing village. Honestly, Wright’s is every bit as good and very reasonably priced. Don’t go anywhere else.

I tried a number of fish and chips places throughout Hertfordshire and I must say this is one of the best. Their fish always tastes great, fresh, the portions are reasonably large (i.e. "large" really means large), the hygiene is always impeccable. Pity is such a cramped, small place where a queue of over 4 people needs to extend into the alley outside, but of course, the space limitation is nothing they can do about...

I have been using this fish and chip shop for almost 50 years. Others come and go, but this shop (still in the same family for all those years) remains streets ahead of all the others. Unfortunately large cod and chips is no longer half a crown but the price still compares very favourably to all the other takeaways in the town.

Fish and Chips is generally regarded as the typical English take away meal. And here is Ware there is simply one of the best Fish and Chip shops that you will find. There is always a queue, which goes quickly; and this usually means your choice will have been cooked recently. Prices are reasonable.So go there, get your F&C's and get ready for a treat.Highly recommended.

Me and hubby were going out so we thought we would have fish and chips to take home and then go out for the evening . We have always bought our fish and chips from here and never anywhere else . We always enjoyed our fish suppers from here and always said it was the best in Ware . The young girl took our order and said it would be a couple of moments , I watched the young boy put the chips on to fry and was amazed by how quickly he took the chips out of the fryer , but didn't think no more till I got them home, to my disappointment they were not cooked and were cold , it's such a shame as we have never had bad food from Wrights. The cod was not the best, batter was greasy, I'm hoping that this is just a blip and you will be back to top fish and chip shop in ware . The big chap wasn't working this night and maybe this was the reason things weren't at they're usual best.
