I only wanted a small portion of chips. But I have to say those were some of the best chips I have ever! Super crispy on the outside still soft inside, absolutely perfect balance of salt on them. Very generous portion too. You do have to pay extra if you want sauces on them though.

I ordered a kebab with chips as takeaway, and it was cold on the inside, although the outside looked cooked. Tasted more jello and had to throw it away. Had better. The chips, on the other hand, were awesome.

St. James Fish Bar: Top Marks All Across The Board
Had a fantastic experience at St. James Fish Bar last night (February 10th, 2024)! The premises are clean, spacious and really invite you to try the food within. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which always made the experience even better.
Onto the food! Their menu is impressively broad for a chip shop which is great if, like me, you like trying new foods. This time, I kept it simple and went for the classic combo of chips and fish, and let me tell you, it was *excellent*. The fish was perfectly cooked – crispy batter, fresh and flaky white fish inside. The chips were just right – golden, fluffy, and not greasy at all. Portion sizes were very generous, too, leaving me feeling happily satisfied.
I also bought a double cheeseburger which was very good quality. The vegetables were fresh and the onions were plentiful, whilst the beef was good quality.
Feeling a bit adventurous, I also tried their deep-fried Mars bar. The combination may sound unusual but the result was, without a doubt, delicious! The warm, gooey chocolate with the crispy coating was a delightful treat without being sickly or over-indulgent.
Honestly, there wasn't a single thing I could fault about my visit to St. James Fish Bar. The food was top-notch, the atmosphere was great, and the service was friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and enjoyable meal. I'll definitely be back for more fish and chips (and probably another Mars bar, too!).

Highly recommend this chippy. Catered for our quiz night (37 people) on Saturday. Food was ready on time, hot and I had so many comments about how good the fish and chips were! Big thank you to the team at St James Fish Bar.

Great place to go and get fish and chips. Good quality, didn't find it too greasy. Staff very friendly and chatty. Good portion sizes. The wait can be a little long as it's very popular. Definitely would recommend!

Not as good as it used to be, batter was quite thick but last time it was light and fish was flaky
