Best KPortal Reviews
We were waiting for my son and wanted a handy stop for food, this was the best looking of the local options.
Friendly efficient service, super polite young people behind the counter. We asked to eat in so they boxed it up, even though they had already packaged one into a bag. Ketchup, salt, vinegar, napkins, straws and bamboo knives and forks on the bench plus contact charging points for phones!
The chips were crispy, plentiful and hot, absolutely perfect. Loads of little crispy bits at the end too. The fish was a great size, tender (only used a bamboo fork) and tasty with good batter. Halloumi bites were good, as was our curry sauce and the mushy peas.
Will certainly return next time we are nearby.
The last two times I've been, I've felt queasy afterwards. It's not obvious they're doing anything particularly wrong; it may just be that large portions of fried food just aren't good for you. They do have a large menu for a chippy, not all of it fried, and they will grill it instead if you ask them.
-- Post script: after five months the venue replied suggesting I had gluten sensitivity, but I've been fine with fried fish and chips from other places so I don't believe that's it. I'm hoping that their laughing faces were just intended to be friendly.
I've been going here for over 20 years and this latest iteration of the establishment is the best yet. The efficiency of the staff has to be seen to be believed, I've never had to wait long and they even manage to be polite to the Deliveroo drivers. Quality is excellent and portions are big.
Popped in on Saturday lunchtime. Food was being freshly cooked to order. Two nice staff members working. I ordered large cod and small chips. I was surprised to be offered lemon as never been offered this with fish and chip takeaway before. Very nice touch!! Upon de-bagging the lunch at home I thought the large cod wasn’t that big. I’m pleased to say after eating I’m full and it was really delicious. I assume the oil is very fresh as it all tasted great. Best fish and chips I’ve had for a long time. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing there was an issue with the order they acomadated and sorted the order out absolutely amazing would highly recomend the food it's the best in the area.
Large chips cost £4.95 extortionate. Also, chips were poor quality and over cooked and/or old oil and portion wasn't that big. Very disappointed.
Very disappointing, as a regular customer before the recent closure and re build, I was very excited when a re opening date was announced. We have specific dietary requirements requiring gluten and dairy free and this was always catered for with the burgers, or fish being tailored to suit.
Alas.. this is not the case any more, gone is the large airy shop, it's now a cramped wait in a rather odd shaped waiting/seating area, and if you glance up at the new look menus hanging over the counter you will see a lot of classic items missing, no OAP specials anymore despite there popularity, no small sausages.. no small medium large options at all! Just small and "standard" whatever that is? It's no standard to a fish and chip establishment that's for sure.
Saddest of all..no gluten free burgers at all anymore, and the burgers they do sell are just plain typical fish shop style, 1 or 2 items in a bun.. no stacks, no onion rings in the burger, no bacon.. all there well known and very popular options gone, and a new beaming manager that's full of his own self importance to happily tell you that the classic St Johns menu you loved is now completely different.
They do serve gluten free chips as standard, and the gluten free fish is still an option, although the serving staff do not understand the importance of keeping gluten free items segregated from wheat and gluten containing products in the same bag! And the fish is taken from a cabinet directly above the chips, allowing all bits of gluten containing batter to fall into the chips....they may as well say they don't cater for gluten free at all now, as there nothing certain about the serving and handling practises at all.
I am struggling to find any good points about my visit, and sadly the only part of the old much loved st Johns fish bar that remains is the name.. the rest is a fraction of its former glory.
I sincerely hope that if anyone in higher places see the new set up that they have the sense to re instate the old manager quickly, as he was a joy to deal with, ever efficient and extremely happy to cater for loyal customers needs, understanding his local customer base very well indeed.
Until such a day, my visits here are now over, and my recommendation to others will be nil.
One very upset and disgruntled long time customer.
Sam is brilliant and lovely, helpful to making sure the customers are happy and get right orders, Thanks :)
