Beccles Fish Bar

This is my favourite Chip shop around, and believe me I have tried them all, from Diss to Beccles. And everywhere in between and I happily drive 16 miles to purchase their chips, Cod is amazing too.

After 14 months of living in Beccles, I finally found myself in the perfect situation to try out a local chippy. Being the closest at the time, and having seen hoards of people queuing/waiting in the past, I thought I'd give Beccles Fish Bar a shot. I wasn't disappointed. There was a steady flow of customers going in through the door, but orders were taken swiftly and the well oiled machine of staff behind the counter were ticking over like a troupe of expert plate spinners. Order taken, it was time to stand outside and watch the throng. More customers arriving, and order numbers being called out for those soon to be lucky enough to be enjoying a rapid car journey home, surrounded by that special fish n chip aroma. Soon enough it was my turn. Number called, then a member of staff brough my order outside to me and exchanged it for the numbered ticket I'd been given on ordering. So, double wrapped haddock, chips and mushy peas were placed in my rucksack, with all the care of a dozen fresh eggs. Nobody wants squashed haddock! Arriving home in record time on my pushbike, the parcel was popped into the oven while the obligatory rolls were buttered. Ten minutes later, the meal of the day was in front of me, in all its battered and deep fried glory. As I said at the beginning of this novel, I wasn't disappointed. Tasty, flaky fish with crisp batter and a portion of perfect chips. If there was one thing that could've been better, the mushy peas could be slightly thicker, but they didn't detract from this gloriously British tradition. Top marks all round. I don't think I need to try anywhere else now. It'll be difficult to beat 😊

Delicious traditional fish and chips which were cooked perfectly. Service was great and the prices appropriate to order. Will definitely return for another meal.

Decent chippy, like all places prices have crept into the ridiculous. Always well cooked and tasty though.

Yes good chippy. Good sausages. Good varied meal. Clean shop. Only I didn't like was the black skin on the fish wish they would take skin off. Can't eat the black skin. Yuk?!!
