Reviews of The Mermaid Fish Restaurant

A. H.

Great food. Lovely staff who are very helpful. I know its just been take over but the new owners need to sort out the empty walls. Also the 'gourmet bread board' was hilarious. How is half a loaf of Warburtons gourmet! Or was it the mini lurpack that made it gourmet. Lol. Still my favourite for a fish and chip treat.

D. J.

Absolutely would recommend this to everyone .Top class fish and chip restaurant.Fantastic service, very friendly helpful professional staff

k. S.

I love this restaurant. The fish and chips are the best I’ve ever tasted. The portions are perfect and it’s great value. The new owners are so lovely and are making some great changes. I especially love the new bread board. THIS IS A MUST TRY IF YOUR IN THE LEEDS AREA!!

J. M.

Beautiful freshly cooked fish and chips and nice flavour batter. Not too thick. We live 10 miles away and if we're in the area we always call in because they're so much nicer than somewhere closer to home.

J. H.

Today was as good as any we have had anywhere. Crisp well done batter and flaky white fish. Good prices and amazing to get a whole loaf and lurpak as well! (don't think that will last long). The staff are the best. Just normal nice friendly girls. We will come again.

S.

Lovely fish n chips, great staff but Wow at the prices. I appreciate the price of fish has gone up but surely they can shave a bit off. £27 for three fish two chips, 1 peas and two cans of drink. I can see alot of families giving this a miss!

A. A.

The fish and chips were excellent also the staff were pleasant. The only complaint I would make is that the plates, cups and saucers had some kind of residue on and in them. I only noticed this after reading an earlier review and the staff did wash our cups out on request. This problem needs addressing a.s.a.p or custom could suffer.

M. G.

Ate here a few times and every time it’s spot on fish is Juicy and the batter is nice and crispy the chips are just perfect and the curry sauce is bang on also love the fact you get free refills on tea and coffee and soft drink staff are polite and are always on hand if I needed anything else with my meal! Great atmosphere and just all round great, would definitely recommend!

T. W.

Highly recommend this place! The fish and chips are outstanding, I don’t know how they get the batter so nice and crispy it’s unreal!! Taken my mum the other day and she still goes on about how lovely the place was, the service from start to finish was great! Lovely set of ladies, can’t wait to return thank you :)

C. H.

Visited there recently and I have to say the fish and chips were the best I’ve ever had. The new management are great too extremely friendly and very welcoming . I would recommend anyone to try it as you WILL NOT be disappointed 5* food 5* service there’s no where that comes close to there fish and chips I can’t wait to go back 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

S. D.

Food very good, service staff polite and attentive. The dinning room just a tad on the cool side and the tea didn't stay warm for long. But we will go back again.

L. R.

Lovely food. Unfortunately service was practically non existent not sure if they are having staffing issues. Lovely setting and staff pleasant shame but wouldn't put me off returning.

J. M.

Always loved this place best fish and chips ever but the last twice we have been and had take out the fish has been really over cooked to the batter been really dark and hard such a shame.. I know it has just Been taken over so may be teething probs but not as nice as usual..

c. s.

Just had takeaway from here. I ordered one Gluten free fish and chips and one regular fish and chips. I cannot fault the GF option. All cooked fresh and fully aware of cross contamination issues. The GF fish was put on clean plate in a seperate warmer once cooked to avoid CC and they were fabulous. My regular fish and chips however left a lot to be desired. I was given the smallest piece of fish you've ever seen. It was overcooked and dry. More burnt batter than actual fish. I asked for the fish to be changed and was told it would take another 30 mins to cook so unless I wanted my GF to get spoiled in the warmer that wasn't an option. The chips were over cooked and scrappy too. Overall the regular fish and chips were a huge disappointment and I won't be eating from their again. The woman serving behind the counter had no clue how to use the till and kept having to run off into the cafe to get someone else to help which made the whole experience even worse as it took 3 x as long to serve each customer. The 3 stars are for the GF option as they were amazing! I'd give 0 stars for the regular menu sadly. At £10 for one meal it was a very expensive disappointment.

T. B.

Arrived late Saturday evening and enjoyed fish and chips. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Very welcoming staff. Thank you.

W. J.

Now under new management, the food on the whole was ok. But it's not the mermaid of old. They need to up their game service wise and cleanliness wise. Cutlery wasn't very clean and cups felt like they were covered in potatoe starch.

J. C.

Nice fish n chips and mushy peas..just wanted one portion of bread and butter.....but they only offer a bread board now. Of assorted breads..so we didn't take them up on there offer.

I. V.

Very nice. New decor and staff uniforms. New menu but still old favourites. Fish & chips very good especially with mushy peas.

P. J.

Being going to the Mermaid since childhood and it never disappoints. I live in the Peaks now and have tried fish n chip shops all over the UK....nothing comes close. The fish is always crispy, no skin, flakes and tastes amazing!

M. H.

Honestly the best fish and chips I have had in a very long time. And the curry sauce was next level

w. w.

Had lunch there today with three friends ,absolutely lovely and no complaints ,lovely helpful and smiley waitress, highly recommended

J. C.

Made an impromptu call and was made to feel welcome. I have been visiting here since a child in the 1970s and it never disappoints. Portion size just right, great quality and very good service. Recommended if in the area.

M. Z.

Absolutely faultless, great fish and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce. Tea, coffee, bread all included. Staff were lovely. My only fault on the standard portions were they were too small. 😪

Z. S.

great service, portion sizes were the best i’ve ever had. would really like to go again. best fish and chips around🤤

b. b.

Great customer service couldn’t help enough! I asked for a fish with out batter as it doesn’t agree with me they offered to make me a grilled fish pleased to say I wasn’t disappointed it was it was the best fish I have tasted

A. S.

Being under new management the menu had changed but no explanation of the changes. So the new regular size is the old small size. Staff very helpful

C. E.

Fish and chips are out of this world here new owners and they did not disappoint friendly service and amazing food deffo be returning

T. T.

Tried the mermaid take away today, sorry to say dissapointed regular fish on the small side a big portion of chips to make up for the fish size ,£16.00 for two portions need to up your game as the competion are in front on price and qaulity

L. B.

Small portions big prices under new management now but fish is small and round and expensive like pervious you'd of thought that the new management would of had bigger ideas but morley miners fisheries still leaps ahead of these in lower prices and higher quality

T. M.

The best fish and chips in West Yorkshire without a doubt, always have been alway will be 😍

B. D.

The fish and chips were excellent.the puddings could be better,but possibly chose the wrong one.but definitely would go again.

W. A.

Really nice fish and chips(so good we went back for a second fish).

L. g.

Its very good, the chips are a bit chunky and stodgy but that's personal preference, some people like proper chunky chips. The fish is nice though, can't fault them for that. If I could have given 4.5 I would. The only one that beats you guys is the miners arms chippy. You're still top class

T. L.

Best fish n chips you can ask for. Fantastic senior citizens deal.

B. C.

Came tonight with the family and friends it was a delight to see that the new owners are making great improvements already keep up the good work we will be back glad to see that coughing woman’s left

L. R.

The best fish and chips I’ve ever had, best service and best food

L. L.

Our favourite fish restaurant, so hard to believe it's so far inland! Delicious haddock. Dining in option is lovely!

K. M.

Lovely fish chips not great and the luxury breadboard is literally a loaf of bread and some butter!! Not impressed

J. M. J.

Excellent service , superb food with a decent choice of mains , very well presented and staff very friendly. I recommend 💯💯💯

G. H.

I took a party of 25 from Morley Walking Club and everyone enjoyed it. The service was very well organised and the fish and chips went down a treat. Pudding and custard too. Well done!

D. B.

Just beautiful plain and simple fish and chips. No gimmicks because the food is so good they dont need any . Excellent and fabulous staff .

L. R.

We booked for my mother in law's birthday... I was quite disappointed with the fish... I have never seen a square fish? Especially covered in so much batter. Tea was just passable. Service was good I can't complain about the girl who served us...

G. S.

Mixed bag, the restaurant is very dated but the fish and the mushy peas taste great! But at over £12 for fish and chips, the fish is tiny, same size as the kids portion. The fizzy drinks were flat too. Unfortunately will not be returning and sticking to Gravely's

C. T.

Not sure if it's been taken over though the meal was ok it was not as nice as it used to be. Not sure if they are frying it in a differently as it was a bit greasy. Also the senior menu was a bit different with larger fish. Still very clean and nice staff

J. W.

Eaten here a few times of late consistently tasty good portion sizes great crispy batter good chips always plenty to eat so much so that a small chip portion is my choice here...any criticism only that I always leave wondering why the portions of fish are rounder than they are long !

A. A.

Lovely fish and chips. Light and crispy batter. Had the Senior 2 course, extremely good value for money. Spotlessly clean and very covid safe. Plenty parking spaces and disabled access.

m. w.

excellent and professional service from Becci, and the food was delicious. Will defo be recommending to friends

c. p.

I would highly recommend this restaurant, both for eat in or takeaway. They honestly are the best fish and chips in West Yorkshire. You can't get any better than these. Nice and hot too even if you take away.

L. C.

Had fish and chips it was lovely great service staff were lovely

A. t.

The quality is always good. Very nice fish and chips among the best. But I did order a 'special' along with 2 regular fish and chips and we could not tell which one was the 'special ' despite being £6.40 and the regular is £3.80, they all looked similar size. (2 were going to share the special) Maybe a mistake and I should go back?

L. D.

Good food but I think a bit pricey

E. L.

Great fish and chips place. I come from the other side of leeds to eat here. Good service from all staff from the time I have being going.

J. A.

Always good, great fish n chips, give it a go, 👍

V. G.

Had takeout as we found the restaurant prices to be a bit too much for our pocket after Christmas. Sat in the car and ate them. Absolutely gorgeous. Both the fish and chips were perfect.

L. W.

Lovely service polite caring staff lovely fish chips also nice warm .will be back

G. S.

Best fish n chips in Yorkshire, been going since it opened in 70s

s. l.

Took my 4 grandchildren with a friend. Meals were good. Chicken nuggets were chicken breast not processed mushed up scrag end. Battered sausages were good. Fish was excellent . Lovely friendly helpful staff. Will definitely go back.

R.

The Staff were very friendly and we thought the the food was very tasty. Only slight thing was they forgot a few items we'd ordered and were a little slow to notice when we needed something but I would definitely go again and we enjoyed our meals.

C. P.

Good quality Fish and chips to either eat in or take away

S. F.

Fish taste nice, one thing I like about special is long fish however they have big square thick one, its a subjective preference. But the fish taste flavourful and not greasy. Battered sausage very nice, batter and the sausage blend well not separated. Mushy peas tasty, and generous portion of chips.

A. R.

lovely fish and chips ,lovely staff overall brilliant experience

T. B.

Lovely food but way too expensive

m. m.

Good service & attentive staff, fish n chips were nice but as with everything nowadays they have become a once in a while luxury due to the high cost.

s. w.

Food was lovely, did forget us, waited 25 minutes then went to find someone to take our order.

j. w.

First visit, really nice staff, attentive but not in your face, seniors meal . Fish & chips, fantastic haddock. Crumble & custard really nice, other half had trifle surprised by the large size portions ( that makes a change from usual seniors meals). Restaurant spotless clean. Will make it a regular.

g. s.

Decent fish n chips with all the traditional extras mushy peas, bread and butter, pot of tea ...good service but a bit on the pricey side...still recommended though. The oap deal is very popular

h. F.

The food was lovely, really good portion size. Food very fresh. Staff were very friendly. Went as part of a group of 4 people and we all got everything we ordered. Everything was clean and tidy. Would totally recommend this place.

D. B.

Ordered a children's meal here for on the go. Good sized meal for a child and it came with a drink

G. G.

My favourite chippy in the area. Actually it was but less now. The takeaway is still a pleasure. My major gripe is the multiple price hikes of late, for eating in. I'll never eat in at this establishment again.

J. H.

The fish and chips are really nice and not too badly priced.

S. A.

Haven't had fish and chips from there for a long time! But the quality is still just as good. Keep up the good work.

P. S.

Lovely fish and chips. If you're not in to the traditional method of frying in beef dripping they can cater for those who prefer chips cooked in vegetable oil too. Not me!

P. F.

Best fish n chips in Yorkshire by far.

S. S.

Amazing food, great service from the staff!

D. H.

Excellent traditional fish and chips. Great staff and restaurant. Fish and chips like they used to be. Will call again.

F. S.

We had the senior 3course special which was really good. Plenty of choice & well presented. The lady who served us was really pleasant and very helpful. We will definitely go back.

D. P.

A bit pricey but well worth it ill go back if I'm in the area

D.

Enjoyed a nice portion of Fish and Chips on my lunch break.

D. H.

Food great, service could be quicker.

P. Y.

My second favourite fish and chip shop, but probably the best one for dining in (closely followed by Murgatroyds in Guiseley). The Plaice in Birstall is better for take away, but this might not be close to everyone. The staff in the restaurant and take away are always very nice and the food doesn't disappoint. It is quite expensive for fish and chips if you are used to take away ones, but on par with other sit down ones. There is a smaller senior citizens menu and also kids menu.

M. S.

Good service and friendly staff no masks needed divided sections round tables, lovely food and there's a take away for fish and chips next door.

M. C.

Still lovely Fish and Chips but please put things like mushy peas in a separate container, not all over the food. I'm taking g an educated guess that they are cutting costs as the take away container was very flimsy too

B. H.

Always good to stop at the Mermaid. Top tasting Fish & Chips. None of that horrible uncooked yellow batter you get at some places. Good service from friendly staff. Excellent.

D. W.

First time I've been in years. Got the pensioners special. Soup, main meal & dessert were excellent. The service from the waitress was first class as well.

n. l.

Great fish n chips - crispy, chunky fish, chips well cooked and lovely peas. The chap who served me was chatty and happy. Always been good from here whether you eat in or takeaway. Wish I lived closer!

J. A.

Nice fish and chips and quick service

M. N.

Have eaten here many times and never been disappointed. Food is always excellent and good service.

A. F.

The best fish and chips around by far

M. A.

Went here for a mid week lunch, the fish was very tasty but the portions small ,we had the seniors special, given one slice of bread each! No conversation took place between us and the waitress,food just put down on table. , Staff need to have a lesson on hospitality, and service at table. Wont bother to go back .

P. S.

Great value, huge fish

I. W.

Haven't visited here for a while as we'd heard some not very nice remarks. However we went yesterday with my sister and brother-in-law who are over here from New Zealand. We found that it it was a really bright restaurant now and not a bit dark inside as on previous visits. Our order was taken and served by a very cheerful young waitress who chatted while taking our order, not like some places where waitresses don't even look at you. Our food was piping hot and tasted lovely. .

L.

Ample portions of well cooked standards, though the pensioners' portion of fish is small. This may suit those with a small appetite and the value of the pensioners' menu is very good. Tables nicely spaced. We sat in what appears to be an extension which has recently decorated. It has full height windows so is light. Enjoyed the meal.

C. H.

Had lovely fish and chips here last night. My girlfriend had the plaice and it was delicious, and quite large! Very good quality.

s. p.

Best fish and chip restaurant I have been to. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff , and a wide selection of drinks available. It's right on a main road too, with good parking. Also they do regular take away fish and chips as well as the restaurant aspect.

A. H.

Always quality food in here great relaxing restaurant with the best fish and chips around.

D. B.

Not open to night.When I do go it is good.

A. S.

Good value, quick service, enjoyable food. All takeaway at the moment, of course, but there is some limited outdoor seating available outside. Great for warm summer days. Good experience.

A. S.

Great food, great plaice 😂

A. P.

The fish and chips were delicious coupled with good service made for a lovely time.

M. W.

Sat in the restaurant to eat and the fish and chips were both amazing. Nice and fresh straight from the chip shop attached to it.

M. M.

What a great place for fish and chips!! Best around. staff very nice and very helpful. Recommended to you all ..

D. T.

Superb fish and chips. Always fresh and good variety. Parking tight depending on time of day and be prepared to wait bit worth it.

D. J.

Dined out with family. Fish and chips excellent as usual. The restaurant closed at 7pm so had to be there before 6:30pm.

N. G.

We stopped off on a journey home for fish and chips never been in the area before I've never had fish and chips so good!! If ever in that area again we'll definitely be stopping for more

P. S.

Excellent fish and chips to be fair, if anything just a touch pricy !

M. J.

Great takeaway. No problems doing our 2 lightly battered fish. Always good fish and chips from here.

J. A.

Really tasty Fish & Chips (mainly) meals. Pensioners menu at cheaper prices available. My elderly mother in law likes to go here for Sunday lunch and looks forward to the outing. Attentive serving staff cater for all our needs. Will be returning time after time.

D. K.

Lovely fish and chips in a very interesting building- particularly liked how friendly the staff were and how supportive they were of each other... the food was good quality and well presented as well as being very reasonably priced - look forward to returning soon!

A. A.

Oh my lardy lord. I visited the mermaid It was such good food ya🧜‍♀️ Especially the battered cod felt like i had been battered by the cod! Unbelievably Ceszoned and moisht!!

P. S.

Fantastic fish and chips. Plenty of space but warm and comfortable. The only thing was they forgot one serving of bread and butter, which we decided not to bother about, otherwise would have had a 5 star review.

D. B.

The food was spot on hot and served very quickly and of a fantastic standard as always and Very clean but my goodness how much does a smile cost. The staff made me feel like I was a burden to them . We normally leave a good tip but left nothing this time.

D. S.

Great quality fish and chips. Always has been. Highly recommended

G. S.

Staff really friendly and very efficient. The waiter who served us was attentive without being pushy. Very polite. Fish and chips were beautiful and hot. Served quickly. 3 of us ate there and 3 of us were impressed by the service and lovely food. Will be back.

C. L.

Service is fast and friendly. Food it tastey and served hot. The batter is perfect and the portion size is spot on! A lovely relaxing place to be. The three in our party can all highly recommend this place.

D. M.

Lovely fish and chips... Good service too

T. S.

Service was friendly. Building was way too hot. I realise it's very hot today, but no effort had been made to make customers comfortable. If I had a restaurant with no A/C I would have lots of fans and ventilation. This place has no fans and all the windows shut. We paid extra to swap the hot tea for cold drinks and they arrived unchilled and with no ice. I did get ice when I asked but it was all they had and was not enough. As I said, it's a hot day. Food was fine, service was okay.

S. H.

Had fish and chips take away very nice cod loin very tasty meal usually sit in but queueing outside I'll do take away in future if this meal is the norm

J. B.

Great fish and chips. They do have a senior section so if you cannot eat a big one you have a choice. Mushroom starter usually excellent too.

J. K.

I thought the fish from here was actually as close to perfection in this kind of eatery that you could expect. Deliciously moist haddock with almost crunchy crisp batter, chips were nice and the almost chinese style curry sauce was a welcome addition. Not sure if the takeout ones are as good however these are deece.

M. D.

Good food my first ever visit, the building was very dated. We were instructed to pay on leaving. The lady taking our money was very miserable

d. a.

Good value senior's lunch 😋

j. p.

Nice fish but a little sparce on the chips. Plenty parking. Restaurant nice and clean and a warm welcome

s. k.

Not only fish and chips but other offerings too. Haddock was nice, white and moist, chips very yummy. Seniors ( read OAP s) get haddock and chips and a free dessert on Mondays for £8. All staff helpful, efficient and courteous. Lots of parking.

R. A.

This was the first time we visited. I had the senior citizens menu. Fruit juice, scampi, chips and tartar sauce. Scampi was lovely but chips were not of a good quality. Then ice cream to follow. This was £9.99.

R. B.

Local institution. Never had an issue with the food here. Take away fish n chips are tasty and not overpriced. Sitting in the restaurant for dinner still feels like a treat 25 years on. Fish and chips, tea, bread and butter... brings back childhood memories.

P. S.

The food is decent but the portions are much smaller than most of the chip shops on the area. Got to be honest the only time we come here is on a Monday when Syke Road is shut and because the parking at Tingley Bar is horrendous. Also: they might get more customers if the sour faced woman behind the counter actually smiled once in a while and if she didn't always sound so miserable!

M. D.

We have been to the Mermaid loads of times. The fish and chips are always lovely. No soggy batter here. The staff have always been pleasant and helpful but not intrusive. Very clean. Highly recommended.

G. H.

The best fish and chips in the world bar none.

c.

The best fish and chip restaurant in West Yorkshire, today we visited the Mermaid to celebrate the birthdays of two of our lovely friends . We live in Blackpool but it's well worth the travelling time to eat the gorgeous food at the Mermaid . We all had a 3 course meal ( senior) , Which was superb , at a total cost of £ 46 + absolute value for money . Staff were excellent., tables and chairs were good , choice of menu was adequate. Only downside was the low mirror in the disabled toilets, we aren't all in wheelchairs ! Perhaps simply a longer mirror would suffice. Overall 5 stars . Well done Mike

B. H.

As a fish and chip restaurant I think it is great in respect of comfort, quality of fish, chips, mushy peas, tea, bread and butter, price, and service. Other meal options are available. The desserts tend to be far too sweet for my taste. They also have a takeaway section, but we almost always eat in.

M. E.

Beautiful fish and chips and the takeaway prices are very good! Resteraunt is slightly overpriced but the quality of the food is very good.

T.

Great deal for oap 2/3 course set menu👌

S. H.

Been coming here since the premises opened. Not the biggest of portions but the fish always tastes excellent.

S. B.

We visit the Mermaid frequently with family. We have noticed recently that the senior citizens fish portion seems to have become smaller and the batter thicker. On one or two occasions the batter has been more than well done!! The food is usually lovely and some of the staff friendly and welcoming.

J. M.

I asked Lythe waitress if the fish was cooked. She said yes why. I said cause it's eaten all the chips 😂😂 That was a joke But everything else wasn't. Quality, service, price, entire cleanliness... All 5 star for me.

P. T.

Excellent fish and chips. Well organised and clear signs. Only complaint is they only provide Chinese curry sauce and not chip shop style.

S. S.

Quality fish and chips from the Mermaid, maybe slightly pricey but well worth the cost, waitress was mad busy but made me laugh, enjoyable visit again.

J. R. K.

Only had take out fish and chips but we're very nice

M.

Nice food but quite expensive for what it is

H. M.

Traditional fish and chip restaurant, friendly staff and great food

M. H.

Fast service, friendly staff, great food every time.

T. H.

The Mermaid used to serve the best fish and chips in Leeds but that is no longer the case. I can't put my finger on the reason for their decline but in my opinion their food is not of the standard it was. SHAME.

A. D.

Very nice fish and chip shop. Open long hours also so ideal for when you normal chippy is closed but food is a little expensive and no deals really. Still really nice tho if your local is closed. Not a downgrade at all.

C. N.

Always lovely fish and chips, and a warm West Yorkshire welcome. We travel from South Yorkshire to come here as a treat, they are so good!

J. N.

Had a mid-week lunch time trip. It was busy but staff were helpful. Service was great and food was lovely. Mum had the pensioners menu-well worth the money

C. L.

Used to come here all time. Fish is best around but chips not as good as used to be

A. S.

Freshly cooked food and hot. Staff very helpful good atmosphere value for money.

p.

Lovely fish and chips. Cooked to order just as I asked. Have smaller portions and a fair price. Staff friendly and efficient. Would recommend.

K. R.

Excellent service by our waitress

M. H.

Best place I have ever been for fish & chips. I get a fish from the take away counter and sit in the car and enjoy. Staff are friendly and polite.

D. P.

The fish butty was very good my granddaughter's fish and chips were good Would tell people to go and try 😋

J. W.

This place is cosy and I agree with other people but most of the staff are friendly and welcoming into the restaurant but the rest of the staff make us feel uncomfortable as they aren’t very friendly and they can’t hear us properly so they need to go and check their ears. But on the positive side of view the food is very nice and extremely tasty.

H. M.

Great service great staff great food, fish and chips were amazing.

a. j.

Excellent, we love Yorkshire fish and chips. We live in the Midlands and, everywhere we go, we cannot find any place, where fish and chips are so great. Well done Yorkshire!!!

S. C.

An old fashioned style shop that cooks in lard only cooks the basic menu no pies, pitzas, or currys. It has an eat in restaurant and a take away with a large car park, opens around 11.00 am stays open all day till late evening. Six days a week. All high quality food

J. W.

Delicious fish and chips, friendly staff with plenty of customer parking. It also offers smaller meals for over 65's. This place has a takeaway fish and chip shop attached to the restaurant.

D. M.

This place has a restaurant as well as takeaway, disabled & child friendly, fish is white fluffy & delicious, if it's a lovely sunny day you can also use the tables outside, it's got a large car park. Well worth a visit there's also a large Asda supermarket at the back.

M. C.

Everything about our visit was top class. The fish was superb and the service was spot on. To say it was packed we only waited about 15 mins. I will definitely be going again. Michael 🤓

R. i. G.

Always the best fish and chips and proper mushy peas

T. H.

Best fish and chips ever loved the plaice fish delicious

K. F.

Been many times, food and staff/service are superb.

T. L.

Nice fish with quite a firm crispy batter, portion size ok but considering the price it could have been bigger, probably the most expensive fish and chip shop in the area!

S. W.

Always perfect in every way. The waitress SHAN deserves a special mention. She was very efficient but also had the loveliest disposition and made our day.

M. S.

Excellent fish and chips, best I have had for sometime.

M. H.

Never had a poor portion of fish and chips from here in 30 years. Good quality and quantity.

s. b.

Lovely food a bit pricer not many staff to deed with the customer

A. J.

No cod only haddock that why I score you a 4

j. p.

Not bad...had better..fish was in very cold bread cake

T. J.

If you've arrived in the UK and want to try the traditional British dish of fish & chips, this part of the country is only region that makes them the way they should be. While I would not claim the Mermaid is the best of the best - you'd need to tap into local knowledge to find that out - it does serve reliably excellent fish & chips to eat-in or take away.

G. W.

Took my mother out for lunch Service and food was excellent

B. F.

One of Britain's BEST fish and chip shops - every time I come to visit the UK, I go out of my way to enjoy this quality fish and chips. I always order the special... Thick fillet... Freshly cooked and juicey.

G. c. L.

The best fish and chips in Yorkshire great friendly service

I. B.

Great service and obliging staff. Good value THB compared with other options Indian, Chinese etc. They serve Haddock which is a must and alcohol, but had tea this time. Would defo visit again

H. G.

Very nice fish and chips indeed,will go there again.

Very nice fish and chips here and nice friendly staff. Even though its 15 miles from my home and because good fish and chips are increasingly difficult to find, this is now my chippy of choice.

O. I.

Really nice food, especially within the restaurant, with a range of food available evan though it mainly sells fish. However it can be slightly expensive for a typical fish and chips

C. T.

The fish and chips are excellent. The taste of the haddock is really yummy. We always call for tea at the Mermaid at weekend and sit in the car and really enjoy

O. L. O. P.

I like the mermaid because they sell really nice fish n chips and nice icecreams

visited today saturday 13 4 2019.best prawn cocktail we have had in a restaurant in years.good main meal with good service well looked after look forward to a return.

S. B.

Very nice food but the portion sizes are tiny for a chip shop! Both the fish and the chips looked to be missing about 50% from what id usually expect from a chippy.

A. B.

Great meal every time. Best fish (haddock) in the area.

H. B.

This place used to be great. Today though, a square fish, weird, small bitty chips, one slice of bread and butter. Too expensive for what you get. Sorry but could do better.

D. L.

Love fish n chips at home but it's a special treat to have them served fresh from the fryer at the mermaid restaurant. The taste is sensational

N. T.

Was nice , however waited a little to long for chips so my fish was over cooked for my liking.
