Yates Hay Fish Bar in Malvern Hills

The only chipshop to visit in Malvern....best by a county mile.

The best Chippy in Malvern and probably The World 😃

Having lived in Malvern for 4 years, I've wanted to try this place for a while, but ended up returning to other chippies on main roads. However, I wish I'd been here sooner! By far the best I've had. Great food, very good prices, quick and plenty of on-street parking. We'll be returning!

Best chippy in Malvern with the friendliest staff

Favourite chippy in malvern. Always good value & huge portions

Good food ,just felt ignored when I went in ,not acknowledged,

Best fish and chips in Malvern!

Great fish and chips. Ordered large chips, enough for 2 adults and 2 children.

best chip shop in Malvern. friendly and great food. better than the rest by a mile and good prices. worth going every time

Decent local chippy, visit a couple times a month.

There's almost always someone else waiting regardless of the time of day, which is a good sign for a chippy. They do a decent range of food, the food tastes great, the prices are not ridiculous (like other places), and the service is friendly and efficient. This is not our local but we wish it was.

Fast efficient service, great menu and it's always busy because it's so good.

Bloody perfect if you ask me! Would go every night if I could but suzen likes a Chinese on a Wednesday and that's gospel right there! Amen. 🙏

Best fish and chip shop in Malvern. Local family run. Always excellent!

Good quality, freshly cooked and very busy. Traditional fish and chips. The real deal Only gripe is the peas looked ultra dyed.

Faultless friendly service. Fabulous food. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

They have it all to be fair to them, reasonable prices, good staff, good food and that's why they are the busiest chippy I've seen every time I drive past. Fair play to them 😁

Mushy greasy chips, greasy soggy batter on the fish, missing curry sauce and a 25 min wait for food. Won't go there again

Visited a couple of times whilst staying locally, always seemed to be busy but didn't have to wait too long. Both the fish and the chips were above average quality.

Always good food and friendly staff.

Should stop using polystyrene containers. Cardboard or paper is better and more eco friendly.

Awful fish & chips. Soaked in grease, asked for lightly battered and the batter was like a pancake. Would’ve been smarter to flush the £30 that we spent down the drain. Really just terrible.

Lunch time deals are really good value

Friendly. Great service. Open lunchtimes.

Chips were last bits so lots of batters and tiny overcooked scraps. Kebab nicely put together but the grease was excessive.

I thought that I would try fish and chips from here for the first time in a long while, the last time the meal was inedible, the fish had been reheated from lunchtime and was tough and chewy, it made me feel ill, the owner said that they never reheated which was untrue, I know what I had, others have said the same. Anyway this time the fish, although two small ones, was good and the chips were pretty good too I just wish they didn't put so many in, there was at least enough chips for 3 people. The service was good, cooked while you wait which I much prefer. Fish, chips and a large curry sauce was £10.60, I maybe out of touch but that seems an awful lot to me. I will go back as it is convenient and as I said the food was good this time.

Good fish and chips, good service. Clean and tidy. What more can you ask for a quick lunchtime takeaway

Very disappointed, wanted chicken meat and chips, yet didn't have chicken meat... so had to settle for just chicken breast and chips....... Chicken, was dry, hard and tasteless, chips seemed to get all the hard bits that noone ever wants....

Always a friendly atmosphere. Fast attentive service. The food is excellent. What more do uou need from a local chippy? Off there again this evening!

Gone down hill used to be best chippy around tonight's chips where cold soggy and full of grease won't be going there again

Everything freshly cooked and delicious

Lovely fish and chips big portions of chips.

Gone down hill since covid, service takes for ever and a day every time now, still doing a queue outside system, chips are not as good as they used to be as now many times you get your food in awful polystyrene trays! Its a shame as it used to be the best chippy in malvern but afraid Malvern Link and Barnards Green are both better.

Usually love this takeaway however today was awful. There appears to be a young girl in there today who I assume is a new trainee. She took our order and was absolutely clueless and didn’t care to be there by her facial expressions. She didn’t know what she was doing and we had to repeat our order but she still got it wrong. I asked for a mixed kebab with no salad due to being allergic to parts of the salad, and garlic Mayo to be on my kebab. Instead she puts ALL salad and normal mayonnaise. Therefore I could not touch my kebab. My partner asked for a cheeseburger with all salad and mayonnaise and she gets the salad, but gets my garlic mayonnaise. Which she doesn’t like. Therefore awful service.

I ordered 2 fish and chips and was given a price of £17 so my expectancy increased a little that I may be getting something a bit special, although the staff didn't instill me with any confidence. After about 10 minutes I was presented with two massive cardboard boxes mostly filled with horrible chips (almost inedible and in any case far too much for 1 person to eat), one of the boxes apparently contained a large fish but turned out to be mostly batter hiding a grossly over-cooked small fish, The other box contained 2 smaller fishes which I was told were almost edible. Unfortunately most of both boxes went to the bin. I worry that visitors to our country ever experience the nations favorite here, how hard can it be to cook fish and chips that we can be proud of?

Staff very friendly. But unfortunately I don't understand the high rating. Our chips were old and dry. The sausages had been kept warm for a long time and almost hard ( should have been thrown away) also a lot of black bits in the chips, which should have been cut out. Expect a few but this was a lot.

Had fish n chips, chips ok though soft, fish cooked but batter soft and doughy, wasn't cooked inside. Not good, expected better for sixteen quid.

Chips not great. Very dry. Couldn’t even get a simple chips with salt and vinegar order right! Malvern Link fish bar and Barnards Green much nicer food.

Visiting area for weekend wanted fish and chips found this little gem , fab fish and chips huge portions, friendly staff even gave us a sausage for the dogs !

Really nice fish and chips great choice of children's menu.

Said to be the best and cheapest fish & chips in Malvern. And .......it is. Well worth a visit.

Excellent takeaway good food good staff always busy which is a good sign

Very good but do you really have you use polystyrene containers!!! Just wrap them in paper like years ago, its so bad for the environment, plus twice now my husband said no polystyrene and there it was

Rubbish they got my order wrong

Love this place, best chips in Malvern

You know what? They were busy. It was 12 and they'd just opened. There was already a queue of 4 in front of me. I wanted 5 meals. They did them really fast. I loved the fish and chips. Price was good. Top marks!

Having been pretty poorly last few weeks, my appetite came back and fish and chips was in order! Since discovering you are my local you are definitely the place to go. Service was great and all staff smiling and friendly. Ordered fish and chips with mushy peas and shared with my daughter. Absolutely delicious 😋

Best fish and chips in Malvern. The family that own it are so welcoming and passionate about what they do! Always 1st choice chippy in Malvern

Normally an excellent chip shop but a chicken kebab I had earlier hardly had any chicken in it. It was a new girl that served me.

Always get good fish and chips good portions.

Not good chips very dry . The curry sauce was to salty fish was very rubbery

Really nice chips, crispy fish & good prices!

Good food good staff and quick service

Excellent value for money, great portion sizes. Fish a little soggy but sausage in batter perfect!

Great fish and chips. Portions of chips very large!

Best fish and chip shop in Malvern

Went with a friend for a quick takeaway with my mate and seen this chippy. Ended up meeting and talking to Vas who was serving us. He was extremely polite and helpful with helping to decide what to have.Great help with excellent food . I had traditional fish and chips which was gorgeous. Brought back old memoriesWill definitely use them again when I'm visiting family next time.Thanks Vas and say hello to your wife.

Called in for takeaway just after it opened in the evening. Chips wasn't very nice. Tasted like reheated from earlier in day ..disappointing food

This is my favourite chippy in Malvern awesome food and excellent service

Always consistently served food

Best fish and chip shop in area ,as good as any in Malvern.

Unfortunately feel it's gone downhill. Kebab order wasn't right when we got home - had ordered two chicken kebabs and ended up with mixed meat! Plus the sauces we had asked for we're wrong too. Chips were also not cooked enough which was a shame. Won't be visiting again for a while until we hear better things.

Best fish and chip shop out, Wouldn't go anywhere else, Zena.

One of the best fish and chip shops in malvern also Malvern Link fish bar is highly recommend both fish bars, food is so nice and the staff are so good to the customers and polite to you highly highly recommend.

Covid safe serving system. Lovely fish and chips

The food is very nice and always has been! However, rather rude female member of staff shouting at the young man on the till in front of customers wasn't so nice! Rather awkward to watch and felt sorry for the lad because he is very polite and friendly!

Probably best in Malvern but not in the uk

Lovely chips and priced reasonably

The best place for fish and chips I know of. Always accommodating and the food us excellent

Always friendly and good quality food. Well prepared to deal with virus issues. Not my nearest chippy but my preferred one. My first visit since the lockdown

its Greasy but nice cheesy chips with mayo i love the owner of this fish and chips but you need to put your chips to £2.00

Friendly staff and owner. Fish and chips one of the best in my opinion. So much so on Friday evenings there's a queue right out the door.

Had 17 fish and chips delivered and they were scrumptious.Thank you very much .Everyone enjoyed them

Yummy and good! Favourite fish and chip place to go to! Like the use of cardboard boxes too rather than plastic etc.

Mixed kebab meat and chips amazing

As always incredibly helpful and great food served fresh.

Always very happy with this chippy, fish and chips are great, staff always polite very large portions.x

If you like fish and chips make sure you make a visit here. This is the best fish bar in Malvern and Worcester by far. Jim's fish is fresh and moist in a delightfully crispy golden brown batter . His Chips are all homemade they are blanched and double fried to five yu a crispispy outer and a fluffy inner. Now on to the pièce de résistance Ims kebabs, Jim and his team make their own kebabs up they have the normal Donner but then they have chicken tikka and a medditerainean chicken (which is to die for) these meats are truly amazing and easy to nourish . They also cook burgers to order (beef chicken or vegi) and have a large salad aswell. Cone here to get served some lovely ladies and gent and soak up the atmosphere of a true chip shop. You won't be disappointed

Another disastrous attempt to get a meal. With over an hour until closing time few options left in pies and only one of three types of kebab meat available. I settled for a cone of chips, but they were neither crisp not apparently recently cooked. They've had their chance. I'll be elsewhere in future.

Best fish and legs and see if you have any chance of rain in the world.

A tale of two very different visits. Called in one Wednesday at 8.50pm (the shop closes at 9pm), ravenous having had no food since breakfast. The queue of three (plus me) was headed by a customer trying to find something that was actually available. No fish, sausages and only one type of pie. You don't expect mircales, but the staff were made no effort to suggest alternatives, nor was any apology offered to the customer. Once served, the next customer and the rest of us were told, brusquely and again without any apology "that's us out of chips". Still not yet at 9pm. Of course, I and the other remaining customer left. Fortunately Malvern Link chippy was still open and still putting on a proper customer-friendly show. Had I not given Yates Hay another chance, this review would have been 1 star for no service and staff with all the charm of a breeze block. BUT....Last Thursday I visited again, but this time on a Thursday at around 7pm. Completely different staff on duty, smiling and eager to please. Plenty of food available, piping hot and of top quality at remarkably fair prices. A 5 star experience.So, you can still have a good experience here, but don't rely on getting good service within 30 minutes of closing time, nor - possibly - on Wednesdays.

Probably the best fish and chip shop in Malvern. The quality is pretty consistent and there is always a wide choice of things available.

Great local chippy, fresh fish, generous portion, cash only.

It is one of the best chip shops in malvern

Been going there years! Never had a bad one!

Great food and staff are all friendly!best place in malvern!!

Simply the best Chippy in Malvern, when we lived here it was always good and now we only get to eat here once in a blue moon, it is simply better than ever.....

Excellent fish and chips- the best in Malvern!

The best fish and chip shop in Malvern, nice crispy batter on the fish and the chips are fluffy and crispy

Fast to serve. Great value and tasty

Best local fish bar for miles by far

Very good quality of fish and chips, has improved greatly in recent years. Staff are friendly. This fish and chip shop is among the best in Malvern

Really nice food and a good variety if food and meal deals. very clean establishment and friendly staff

Staff are great. Owners very friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Always a great take away. Never had substandard food.

Travel from worcester for lunch weekly excellent value

Arrived just at opening time. Two very friendly greetings. Quickly served Lovely fish and chips. Batter just right and tasty chips. Would return. Thanks

Good for a quick bite staff friendly

Friendly, with a 5* hygiene rating

We visited for the first time having heard many compliments and recommendations and they were not wrong. We were absolutely delighted initially by the cleanliness, then by the enthusiasm of the owner and staff.... The chips are fabulous, hand prepared from potato to presentation and the difference is evident in the flavour and texture. The fish, again, hand prepared, the batter delicious. Hand made mushy peas compliment the meal perfectly. All is presented in a sturdy box and bag, much better than flimsy paper which turns soggy and disintegrates. These were the very best fish and chips we've had in a long time. Definitely the best in Malvern.....so don't visit the Hills without stopping in, they're well worth it.

We visited for the first time having heard numerous compliments and recommendations...they were not wrong. The chips are hand prepared, not pre frozen, the fish hand prepared and the batter is delicious, the mushy peas, again, hand made. It's all served in a considerate box, not soggy white paper and is without a doubt the best in Malvern, if not beyond. The premises are spotless and the food is clearly made fresh and with care.
