Best KPortal Reviews
I always feel sad to write a one star review as it’s people’s livelihoods but….they also need to know.
Having used the ‘Friar’ many times in previous visits over the years and had reasonable fish and chips this was a real disappointment.
Stopped for a lunch.
The fish batter was wet inside, almost slimy. The oil can’t have been hot enough or food in for long enough. The chips were pale and limp with no taste.
Having eaten a range of fish and chips from brilliant to poor this is the first time we have not even finished half the food. We didn’t bother returning to complain as we had a timetable to keep to.
The bottles inside the fridge on a shelf were all leaning over and not tidy.
Whilst 2 portions of fish and chips was £21.98 which I don’t mind paying if it was good and enjoyable
Really need to learn how to cook fish and chips properly if the current owners want to continue.
Would not recommend and will not be back.
Chip portion size seems to shrink every few months. The pickled gherkins are not pickled.
This used to be one of my favourite chip shops but since trying to do more food choices the fish and chips quality have slipped.
Fantastic service. The food is fantastic. I only wish they would takeaway the large delivery charges. Apparently you have to spend £20 then it’s another £2.50 on top. Fair enough, I don’t live far from them, but I am disabled.
My family ran this as a proper fish and chip shop for nearly 40 years and it was a go to for all in the old town. As I was passing, I thought I'd give it a go and I was absolutely disgusted at the service, the abject quality of the food and also the high prices for what they were serving. The kebab I ordered took 25 minutes to arrive and was inedible. These guys are charlatans. I was speaking to local business owner that I told of this experience and he said he wasn't surprised in the slightest. He also informed me that without permission, these guys ripped out all the original 18th century Elm panelling, from a grade 2 listed property and then proceeded to tell everyone they did it with the permission of Hall Barn Estates. All lies. And just goes to show the lack of respect and ineptitude of these people. Avoid.
Ordered sausage and chips takeaway, the chips werent cooked in front of me and from the taste has clearly been sat there for sometime as cold. I also ordered baked beans and when i was given my food was handed a small can of Sainsburys baked beans.. The place is a joke, such a shame we dont have a good fish and chip shop in Beaconsfield old town.
Never again. Ordered a thin crust pizza which was almost an inch thick. Barely any toppings and poor quality meat - did not taste good. Bland potato wedges.
Nice friendly staff. Food was good. Only negative was the taste of the vinegar, not sure what it was but it had an unusual flavour.
Great place to get fish and chips which are really tasty. Also they do a nice pizza meal. Reasonable prices also
