Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The fish batter at Taverham Fish Bar receives consistent acclaim for its light and crispy texture, making each bite enjoyable. A standout item is the cod, loved for its tenderness and flavor. Regulars rave about the generous chip portions, with many claiming they have never seen such sizable servings.
Moreover, the curry sauce has garnered praise for its perfect consistency—neither too thick nor too runny—enhancing the meal without overpowering it. The jovial staff also adds a friendly touch, turning a simple meal into an enjoyable experience, as they greet returning customers with familiarity and warmth.
Most Disliked
One point of contention among customers is the cash-only payment policy, which can be inconvenient for those who prefer card transactions. This might lead to a few patrons being unprepared, especially on busy nights. Some visitors expressed a wish for a wider menu selection, particularly in terms of vegetarian options, as the focus is heavily on fish and fried meats.
While most enjoy the casual atmosphere, a handful of reviews mention that during peak hours, the space can feel a bit cramped, particularly if you’re dining in with a larger group. A few patrons also reported the need for a bit more seasoning in some dishes, wishing for that extra kick to elevate the flavor.

Excellent food. Really really top quality. By far the best fish and chips in our area. We drive past 3 chippies to go to this one. Batter was crispy and light. Chips cooked to perfection, curry sauce was perfect. Not too thick and not too runny. Absolutely delicious meal.
