Reviews of Barbican Fish Bar

c. j.

Our family use this fish bar as the food is plentiful,enjoyable,affordable when visiting the Barbican for our holidays. I've had a chip butty which was filling, the fish was large and delicious for my husbands meal. The kids had chips and mushy peas which were lovely. The fish bar serves hot drinks too. We had our meal indoors in the seating area near the window, the neutral decor is a lovely tone and the chairs and seating are comfy. The counter staff are helpful and pleasant whilst serving customers. Atm cash machine inside too.

Had fish and chips, a Large and a medium plate for 28.10£. Great food, great service and overall a nice place to eat in

D. B. R.

Great food but, that's about it, 4* only go to the kitchen and food. You need to forget the saying "cheap as chips"...3 small "fish & chips" 2 with cheese, will set you back about £25. The staff is great, once they take notice of you waiting right by the counter, they prioritise, it seemed to me, online orders. If "fish & chips" isn't in your daily menu, it's worth it.

J. D.

Good value for money though watch out for the 9PM Sunday closing time I just experienced even though the door sign still says 10. The photo shows time on the parking meter, chairs & tables stacked & door locked at 9.

Great place and lovely fish & chips

H. “. H.

Gluten free fish & chips! Wow such a treat. Beautifully crispy batter ❤️

H. R.

Nice place to get a good portion of fish and chips. Usual chip shop food available. Take away or sit inside. Toilets for customers inside.

P. H.

Fish and Chips Takeaway and sit down fish bar in the Barbican on the main Southside street. There were some people queuing to take away but there was a table available for us two to sit. A bright cheerful waitress was ready to take out order of haddock and scampi each with chips. We chose only tap water to drink. Table and furniture were clean and fresh, The whole is very smart and clean looking. Simple cutlery and sauces were available.. tables lacked pepper cruet (I like a bit of fresh pepper). A short wait of a few minutes and our meals arrived. Nicely done chips crispy batter haddock and good side portions. Other diners ranged from families to couples of all ages including some in their early 20ies. We ate and enjoyed. Scampi could have been much better as they appeared breaded fishy stick bites. Quiet a fast meal only took about 35 minutes.

P. C.

Excellent value for money as for the cod and chips as you can see when I asked for a large cod and chips I wasn't expecting a whale on my plate there was enough to feed a family of 4 or 5 people and I'm not complaining but just about managed to to eat all of the cod and most of the chips the staff were very friendly and helpful I would say to you all go take a visit you won't be disappointed I certainly wasn't and I now visit quite regularly got to be the best fish and chip shop around Plymouth

L. S.

A.

S. D.

Great fish and chips, fresh and tasty !!!

s. s.

Absolutely the best fish and chips I've had in the UK. Thank you Teagan and the team for their positivity and service.

G. M.

Pleasant staff food really nice and cooked to order

A. R.

Normally it's a 5 star chip shop, but a few occasions, the chips have been rock hard and dry, like they'd been sat there a long while... Maybe just a blip, to their usually great service..

t. d. l.

The girls who cook the fish are amazing cooks for a start and most places are non-dog friendly well this restruant does! As soon as someone leaves they make sure it is cleaned up ASAP!!

P. P.

Very nice staff, incredibly generous portions.

B. D.

Went here last March and it was an extremely enjoyable experience with delicious food and generous portions! Will be coming back soon!

J. A.

Great and they do gluten free

T. G. B. (. g. b.

I had fish and chips twice it's really nice

B. P.

Lovely staff and excellent food, would recommend to anyone who visits the famous Barbican. After eating there are several hostelries in the area where you can spend a few hours people watching.

P. S.

Good fish and chips great service

B. S.

Excellent and gluten free too

L. W.

Being a lunch time customer and realy enjoying the meals served we thought we'd try a meal at tea time. Not to happy with the meal presented, the fish and peas were fine but the chips were dried out no potato inside most of them very hard. My partner was starving so ate all of his but I could not eat mine. May go back when the lady's are on lunch times. Then again may try some where else. And the staff were very loud we could here all of there conversation.

C. P.

Excellent service and chips were very hot. Crispy batter. Good value and they also do deep fried cream eggs and Mars bars if you're so inclined. All part of a balanced diet.

V. B.

Average, won't even provide a fork and knife to eat comfortably on the table.. Slush was double priced

K. W.

It was a Sunday early evening, very quite inside. We ate in and the food was nice and tastey, but i was suprised they don't offer a fish and chip price as they appear to separate the price making it look a little expensive when you add it all up. The standard fish size was a bit small too! If you wanted a so called a large fish it was £9.50p clearly too expensive! My wife had fish cake, chips and gravy and they put the gravy in a dish all together on a SMALLER plate giving out less chips but charging the same price for the chips (very crafty)! Service was ok at best! I would maybe go again, but I will try the other f&c shop next door as they may offer better value for money! The take away option may be a better option!

K.

Great fish & chips here, friendly staff & quick service. Clean & tidy so sat in to eat.

D. B.

Very welcoming staff, we had the seafood platter from the restaurant and it was exceptionally well presented and cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back soon.

Without question simply one of the best Chippy's in the country, if not THE best. I cannot figure out any of the negative reviews except to say these people show little idea of what a traditional chip shop is, or have no sense of taste. I have been going there for years and every time this place comes up top, every time consistent. Food is cooked perfectly in proper oil, has a nice little restaurant area, great ambience, you are opposite the old fish market and next to the hustle and bustle of the Plymouth Barbican. Tea is served in cups and saucers and the coke is cold! This chippy has been here for decades and speaks from experience. Don't leave Plymouth without trying it for proper fishing chips, the rest don't have a patch on this one.

J. W.

The chips and curry sauce were good, but the sausages didn't have much flavour at all.

J. H.

We ate in, lovely helpful staff. The food and tea was great. Didn't get knives and forks, just little wooden ones, probably to do with covid! Would go back

J. T.

Thought I would try this chip shop I probably won't return. Customer service isnt great with no eye contact. I orded curry sauce? But received slightly flavoured water, wasn't worth dipping or even putting over the chips as it didn't stick. How ever chips are pretty good and very clean inside. Silly mistakes which could have been prevented.

J. S.

Very good food with staff who are polite and very personable. Even when there was a slight staff shortage they are constantly working to make sure orders are taken, tables are cleaned and food it to the best of their ability.

D. O.

Super chip buttie and kind helpful staff highly recommend

D. B.

Cod was very tasty and the batter nice and light. Clean and pleasant. Staff are very helpful

A. M.

Today was my second visit the weather wasn't good so I ate in. Had great cod and chips with mushy peas. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Made another visit and everything was excellent.

T. A.

Nice fish & chip cafe plus take away that's in a prime location to the harbour, I had the cod & chips to eat in as they had no haddock at 1.30pm, which was cooked fresh to order, the batter was delicious, so light & not greasy in the slightest, nice staff to serve you as you order at the counter & then they bring your meal over to you, overall I look forward to my next visit

R. M.

Fresh cooked chips every time, friendly staff and food really lovely, also much cheaper than other local chip shops. Have been here multiple times and wouldn't go anywhere else.

S. R.

Great service. Best fish and chips I've tasted in a long time.

t. y.

Big portions. Friendly staff. I like that it's dog friendly too.

S. B.

Only had a chip buttie & portion of chips, but all good, reasonable price. Good chips & bread roll.

C. W.

Expensive for what you get. And food didn't come out at the same time. My son's chips were cold by the time he got his gravy. But I did taste nice.

T.

Crispy golden batter on fresh cooked large haddock with tasty locally sourced and chopped chips. Yummy!

R. W.

Friendly staff, well spaced tables for eating, great fish and chips.

Great food, If i am ever up on the Barbican I will get my food from here, it is made fresh, really good, high quality food with little waiting time (even for chicken), the staff are nice and the price is reasonable too.

Been a while since I last came to Barbican Fish bar, so glad to return with a visiting friend. Portion sizes were of good size and my curry sauce was in a pot so I could dip or pour it. Drinks were slow, but staff were fantastic for a Cold Monday afternoon.
