The chips at Admiral Fish Bar consistently earn rave reviews, often described as top-notch, perfectly cooked, and never greasy. Diners appreciate the crispy batter on the fish, which complements the tender meat perfectly. Mushy peas also receive love, enhancing the classic experience.

Most Disliked
The popularity of Admiral Fish Bar can lead to long queues during peak times, especially Friday nights when the restaurant can reach full capacity. Some diners have noted the occasional wait time, particularly during the busy dinner hours, which can be an inconvenience for those craving a quick meal.
Another minor drawback is the limited seating capacity for dine-in customers, which can leave guests scrambling for a spot during busy hours. Some customers have mentioned wanting more variety on the kids’ menu, indicating a wish for options beyond the standard offerings. However, these concerns may not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.

My first chippy in 2.5 years - I live in the states. Absolutley awesome. The chips are top notch and the batter on the fish so cryspy. Thank You for the mushy peas! Totally recommend.

Absolutely outstanding chippy! Popped in while travelling through after collecting something locally. Truly amazed at this gem of a chip shop! Perfect chips cooked to perfection, fish was delightful, crispy batter, no grease at all! Good value and worth every penny highly recommended if in the area! Only down side is it’s a 2 hour drive away for me 😂😂

One of the best fish and chips shops around. Covers a full range of fish and chips, kebabs, chicken, children's meals etc. Staff are friendly, efficient and happy to chat. It also has its own small car park at the back of the shop. Highly recommended.

Just a WOW service and super delicious meal! We were staying at Conkers Camping and Caravanning and were exploring around the area. Admiral Fish & Chips place was amazing. Plenty of secure parking, Spotless clean takeaway and superb customer service and most importantly the most delicious food! We couldn't believe the pricing for the amount of food we had! We ordered Large cod and chips.Small mixed kebab and chips and kids buttered sausage and chips that came in a lovely box with an entertaining board game inside! All of these for less than £25! How the business can sustain in offering such an amazing food, the packaging and maintaining such fantastically high standard for everything is just fantastic! The young lady who served us was super polite, professional and ensured that our order was spot on. She specifically took an extra care preparing our little boys food which we really truly appreciated. Thank you very much again for serving such a delicious food! Definitely recommend this place and if we are ever in the area will definitely come back.

We went to get fish and chips as it had been highly recommended by a local family who we know live in the area. The young lady that served us was very polite and friendly. We had been staying in some lodges nearby, and wanted a night off from cooking. Will definitely return when I the neighbourhood 🙏
