Zachs Plaice in Telford and Wrekin

Closed down and now a pizza place; why Newport needs one is a bit of a mystery. Jones’ fish and chips are still the best in Newport.

Served rancid mushy peas…. As in sour…. Gone off!! That would have been bad enough if it was on a separate pot but it was all over my meal so the whole lot went in the bin! Which leads me to believe that either things aren’t being dated correctly in the fridges, the fridges aren’t at the correct temperature or food is being left out too long! Either way I absolutely will NOT be returning!!

Delicious fish and chips freshly cooked

Service slow, server kept getting order wrong, but food was ok

Fantastic staff. Really looked after me and my mate when we got washed up in town on our bikes! Lovely people and lovely food.

Zachs fish and chips are so lovely

Great fish and chip shop, best in the area by far. The cod was pure white flakes and the batter was deliciously crisp. Chips were so fresh and tasty. Service in the shop is always outstanding and friendly. Couldn't ask for more!

Sorry to hear you have closed, thanks for a great service and always enjoyed the food, well done

Avoid if you're visiting the area as the old woman will try and pass off hours old, curled up at the edges fish as freshly cooked fish. After waiting several minutes for the fish I'd ordered this is what she tried doing to me. Avoid Avoid Avoid

Came here whilst visiting Newport to pick something up we purchased off tinternet. OK, so the decor is basic and that of a greasy spoon, however, however.....the lady cooking the fish was mega friendly and made us chuckle when we heard her say to a group of guys ordering "slow down, have you got a girlfriend (guy answers no), she responds "it's no wonder" PMSL! the girl serving was super friendly and smiled loads to make sure she got our order right. Place is very, very clean and you can tell its well looked after. We had the cod and it was so fresh and the batter was gorgeous!!! Will definitely be coming here again!

I’ve packed fish n chips. Ate within half an hour. Fish was tasteless. Coating was inconsistent. Chips weren’t crispy, in fact they were tasteless lump of potatoes.

Took a detour here to get fish and chips at lunch time. As we had such lovely chips a few weeks ago from here. Well today oh gosh it was unacceptable. Chips were mush. Fish was that rubbery it’s like had been cooked and warmed several times. Even my cat didn’t eat it. I will NOT be using here again. Thank you for wasting my £10.

I dont like putting business' down but the prime location of this shop the standards should be higher, I've never had meat like this in my life, so dry and tastless. The fish on the counters looked like they had been sat there for 2 hours! Up your game if your serving kebabs with a kebab house over the road! Also the portion for £6 was horrendous

Friendly staff but the chips were not cooked enough so they were soggy and pale coloured. I prefer chips to be cooked so they are golden and lightly crisp.

So fresh and yummy it’s not my local but I travel to get the best.

Absolutely shockingly poor fish and chips. Ordered large fish and chips, portion size was enough for one, chips were dirty and tasted of old cooking oil. Fish was chewy. Cost £9. Worst ever.

If you're after 3-star Michelin dining this is not the place for you! Zach's is your typical local fish 'n chips outlet that delivers what it says on the tin, no more and no less. When in town and looking for a cheap 'n cheerful lunch or dinner, this is the plaice (pun intended) to go.

I live abroad and had been craving English Fish and Chips for months. All too often I'm disappointed, but not from Zach's. I ordered Haddock, small chips and small mushy peas. The Haddock was huge and succulent and I could only manage half of the chips too. Very good quality, well cooked and plenty of food in a small portion for even the largest of appetites. I'll definitely be returning for more.

Fish always excellent here and chips Always good service and friendly welcome When dining in.

Great fish + chips, even the cone portion gives you a lot. Quite good value too! I come here sometimes after school and they're the best. Good location too, and there's not much of a queue. You can also buy just drinks for a cheap price too (can't really remember what's the price though

Zach and the other guy who works there are super friendly and always chatty. Good food and good price

Good service and good grub. Even let a disabled bloke use the toilet when the restaurant was closed and he didn't buy anything! Top marks for compassion.

Fish and chips are decent. Always freshly cooked. I go here after school and, what can I say I enjoy them and would recommend them

Been going here for years, amazing food and service, never takes too long to get your food, perfectly made and always cooked.

Quick service...fresh cooked...great taste

Beautiful fish and chips, best we’ve had in a long while. Highly recommend.

Over greasy kebab. Kebab placed with the chips and chips ruined with the grease leaking and dripping through. Straight in the bin

Maggie and Zach are just genuinely lovely people! Always friendly and, literally, know everyone in Newport! The fish and chips are always piping hot and the portions are massive!

Great chippy, good food and good service.

Juicy and delicious fish and chips. Tried a cod and it was an absolute delicious. The staff was also friendly. Love this place.

Real potato chips very friendly staff good value

Very clean, very friendly staff, great food

Best Chippy in the town and for miles around. Haven't had a meal inside since lock down but returned the other night and had a fish and chip takeaway. Large fish with crispy batter and the chips were excellent, served by very friendly staff. Tip - always ask for batter bits - delish Only downside, never have a pie! Always warmed / cooked in the microwave on ordering. Can do that at home guts :(

The chips are soggy and greasy with loads of salt and vinegar on. My wife loves them (so do I). And, before lockdown you could sit down with a pie and chips and a can of Carling on a Sunday evening. It should make you feel depressed - but it doesn't.

Tasty fish n chips, clean shop X

Good standard of fish and chips at a reasonable price. Freshly cooked.

Nice fish and chips. Eat in or take away

Good chips can eat in if you like

Nice food.Clean surroundings.Decent prices and portion size.Well worth a visit.Friendly staff too.

Good choice of menu good service really friendly

No nonsense fish and chips , good portions, nice and hot, reasonably priced, friendly staff, what’s not to like 😁

Nice and clean, staff are great and service is quick with a smile. My friends raved about this place but although the food was nice it could not rate a 5.

The best fish n chips in Newport

Don't eat late here, fish was not fresh and we suffered the next day. Plus we had a small fish and chips and paid £10!!

Great food and friendly staff. Chicken, chips and mushy peas with loads of vinegar. Yum! 😀

Fish is beautiful, as is all the menu at Zachs.Lovely staff & very pleasing place to go to.Best "chippy" in our area.

Nice service chean and tidy seating had chips and jumbo sausage, enjoyed will return

Love this. Great fish and chips. Best in Newport

Was so glad I did not read the reviews for this place first which I normally do first visit to Newport and passed by feeling hungry decided to go in so glad we did personally I would definitely go back very nice food a friendly lady served us she was on her own it was Easter Monday I had plaice and chips with mushy peas and my husband had scampi and chips with salad it was all freshly cooked so a bit off a wait but well worth it delicious I have already told people about them good food nice and clean the bathrooms were nice and clean always a good sign not to bad price either 7.50 each but very good portions and one pound for a can each plus I think 1.20 for mushy peas after had a nice walk along the canal I hope this helps please try people out there I don’t think you will be disappointed

First time I've been here in a while there was 3 people waiting to be served and the man behind the counter was v stressed dread to think what he'd be like if it were busy. The girl who served was v slow and struggled to remember what I ordered which was two cones of chips, pie and curry sauce not too difficult you'd think. As for the food the chips and curry were lovely but the steak and kidney pie was soggy pastry with some gristle not nice. Would I go here again, only if no other chippys close by were shut

Really disappointed, paid for a large chips. Returned home to find what I would call,at a push a medium portion. With more scraps than chips.

Visited just once. The fish was very small, very very dry and tasteless. Sadly the chips seemed as though they had been in the warmer for far to long.We will not go there again.

The website to this Chip Shop stated it was open from 11.30am to 10.30pm. When we entered at about 5pm to go to the Restaurant part, we were met with a somewhat sourly staff member who originally told us they weren’t open. When we queried this, they said they were open, but had no staff. But then said not to matter as staff would arrive shortly. The three meals, two Cod and chips, and a battered sausage and chips arrived quickly. However, the sausage, in particular, must have been hanging around for most of the day, as the batter was very hard, (as was the sausage) Not a pleasant meal On arranging to pay, and noticing a sign in the window stating they took cards, I asked to pay this way. I was told by the same sourly waitress that she had already put the order through the till, ( quite why she had done this, before I had even approached the till, I do not know ), and could not now void it, as the Boss would want to know why. I was going to go to cash point, but luckily between us, we found enough cash. Needless to say, we shall not be returning.

Amazing fish and chips. One of the best in the business.

Good fish and chips,hot and tasty, good prices. Eat in Good restaurant or tak away.

Excellent service today for 25 of us all with different orders. Food was freshly cooked and arrived hot and delicious. The two ladies serving kept a quiet wye on us making sure we has all that we needed without intruding or hurrying on. We had a reserved area to ourselves and enjoyed a good fish and chip lunch. Would recommend if you have a reasonable sized group as they were able to cater for us easily.

Great chippy , friendly staff what more could you want .

Not great fish was overcooked and dry

Great fish and chip shop takeaway and eat in . Clean and friendly . Quality fish and chips

One of best cheese chip!!! Lovely service

Really good food and you can sit in and eat at the restaurant as well

It needs a lot of improvement on both food and staffing.

Good service. Nice food, good staff

Zachs has been in the town for decades and continues to provide good down to earth food, plus if you want to treat yourself they have a drinks licence!

Awful. Had kebab + chips kebab meat was like cardboard chips was greasy. Never Again

Tonight me and my other half popped in after work and I have to say I would rather eat cardboard. Staff were miserable. I had donar and chips with salad. The meat was that brittle I couldn't eat it. The salad came in a different tray but was limp and dead like it had been sat in their fridge for the last month. Only if jones was open on a Sunday. I wish this place would shut before someone gets poisoned or chokes on their burnt lifeless food. Pissed off but to far to travel back to deal with idiots.

Remember my mother taking me here when it first opened and was good to see that it's still run by the same family. I found the staff friendly and service and food was good too.

Good service and well cooked fish and chips.

Coming most Mondays to while away time before my daughter s gymnastics. They don't mind us sitting & playing cards for an hour after meals & the owner impresses my daughter w magic tricks. Very clean as well & the fish is good

Very nice food and always a happy place

I've been going here for years with my family, the seats are uncomfortable, the staff can be a bit off...But its a chippy eat in and what do you expect?

Were happy to travel 30 miles to eat at this fish and chip shop,friendly service,spotlessly clean and excellent fish and chips.cant be bettered for miles around.cant recommend enough

Located in Newport high street. You can park in the high street if there are places..if not there are free car parks close by. They have a good menu and the food is always good. They also have a restaurant inside with toilets. The real Bonus for me is that they are open all day Sunday until late, as many fish and chip shops in the area are closed on a Sunday.

Quick service, reasonable prices, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. It is a treat to eat our fish and chips in!

Sausage, chips & peas. Had a quality piece of meat from this place tonight and my.. I haven't had a good bit of meat in my mouth from a chip shop in a long time! The sausage wasn't to bad either.

We didn't even eat here as the service was so poor. The mature lady (small with grey hair) served 4 customers who were clearly after us. Left and will not return. Word of advice...go to Jones they seem to value your custom there

Great quality with great staff.

Good honest fish and chip shop. Friendly staff

Excellent service an fabulous food nothing is to much trouble we never go anywhere else xx

First came when very young as a birthday treat. Love coming back - the smell instantly takes me back years. Good range of food, quick and friendly service, decent prices.

Last few visits the chips were greasy, due to the convenient location I gave one last chance today, unfortunately chips were so greasy they were almost inedible. So even though I am disabled I will endure the pain of using Jonses in future.

De haber estado en la escuela y vivía en Newport durante los años 80, puedo recordar la primera apertura zach's en la ciudad, el propietario todavía dirige el lugar y que deben estar haciendo lo correcto para mantener un negocio viable por tanto tiempo.

Nice place quick service reasonable price will visit again when in the area staff are friendly enough

Mientras pasando por Newport en mi moto yo parado aquí para conseguir una comida para llevar de pescado, patatas fritas y salsa de curry.

Visitamos Zachs Solla como recuerdo que para ser un buen fish and chips en Newport. Hoy ciertamente no era. Primero me cobraron de más por mi lo que yo describiría como patatas fritas frías salchichas y curry salsa. Para rematar mientras yo derramando el curry salsa me di cuenta de una mosca! Por lo que llamé para explicar este y el propietario negó que sirve de Tiempo 10 minutos temprano y dijo que no era de él! Nunca volveremos y ha arruinado nuestra noche.

Ahora tome distancia de zachs en un par de ocasiones, así que puedo dar una revisión equilibrada. Patatas fritas son buenas si te vas temprano, pero las porciones son incoherentes según quien sirve. Salsa es el mejor que he probado. Guisantes blandos son sin sabor. El pescado es mediocre. Si vas tarde patatas fritas puede ser difícil, ya que aunque se destacó durante demasiado tiempo o esperar a una edad para ellos para ser cocinados. El personal es amable, aparte de la señora de mediana edad que es completamente miserable! No creo que utilizaremos de nuevo como hay Zachs dos sitios mejores en Newport, Jones y Nicos!

Intenté Zach de para ver si la calidad ha mejorado. Lamento decir que no tiene, como las patatas fritas son todavía muy grasienta. Es una pena, ya que es muy conveniente ubicación y con una zona de comedor.

The food is good, but it's not as good as Jone's fish and chip shop, the staff are friendly and there is a seating area but you have to book before hand which is a bit silly because it's always empty.

Think the title says it all - not impressed at all. Unpleasant greasy and soggy...in a nutshell. The fish was tasteless coated in soggy batter - really disappointing and won't be back!

Live 4 miles away and have a local chippy in my village, always drive to Zachs place.The fish is great really crisp no gunge between the fish and the batter, great chips usually more than you can eat, very friendly service.

A very nice chip shop situated on the Newport High Street. Very good value for money and delicious food as well. Great service aswell, and you can either eat in (there's plenty of seats) or take away. Would recommend to anyone in Newport!

We (my Mother and I) popped in during the day in early December and was met by a really friendly lady. You can eat in or take away at this chippy and it has been around for years. It looked very clean and tidy. My mom was feeling a little faint and the staff were very helpful

A local chip shop which is a family run business. I think Zach the owner still supervises but the fish and chips are lovely. Great after a night out. It has a little restaurant in the back or a take away in front. It supports local jobs. Great for family to students. Now offering a selection off food from fish and chips to kebabs and burgers etc

still one of the best in Newport. been several times now and always top quality. fast service and has a large sit in area

Really greasy chips. Have had a few takeaways from here but now go somewhere else. Handy location on high street (which is why I went in the first place) but not impressed by the chips.

Probably the best fish and chippy in Newport. Eat in or takeaway. Fish always large and cooked beautifully.

Have used Zachs many times over the years and always been happy. I prefer to eat in as the batter keeps nice and crisp. Prices are average for the area. Table services for seated eaters.

Having previously visited to see if they could cope with a bulk order of 30 plus meals. I placed my order for 9 Mini fish, 9 jumbo sausage and 10 chicken burgers plus some other meals- all with chips, at half 6. I arrived 10 mins before the time they said it would be ready to find them just making up the order. Order was soon completed and boxed up. Even got a discount lol. All the meals were of a good size, piping hot and very tasty. Definitely recommend to others, espec as they are open on a Sunday

It is many years since we visited Zachs. WE remember it opening.,so as we were passing through Newport we thought we`d have a spot of nostalgia. We were so disappointed and should have. complained. Our food was brought very quickly. It was not very hot and the chips had obviously been reheated /lying around for a long time. Fish portion was small with too much batter.We ate what we could and left , We will not be returning. Today we went to The Silver Fish in Wellington ---- now they DO know how to cook fish and chips and a very reasonable price !

Takeaway or sit in for usual chop shop fayre. Orders in sit down often come back short of items or wrong depending on which person is waiting on that day.
