I know this review probably means absolutely nothing to these people because they are popular. It makes me sad that they offer nothing if you are gluten free. Aldeburgh fish and chips need to take a look at Salt and Malt who only do gluten free batter and you can?t tell the difference. They need to up their game and be inclusive.Dietary restrictions: They offer no gf options.

Best fish and chips ever, no wonder there's almost always a queue. Bonus that you can sit in the courtyard at pub next door to eat them, provided you buy a drink from said pub.

Fantastic chips. Some of the best I've had.The service was something totally different. A young Asian girl was serving, and to say she's was abrupt and rude is an understatement. No please. Thankyou, and almost threw the bag towards you. Fantastic food spoiled by bad attitude. Perhaps a bit of customer relations training would be appropriate ?

We had sausage and chips, although it was not busy no one else in there we had to wait at least 10 minutes. The staff were not very pleasant and the food not very nice. The chip portions were small also A few days later we went to the other fish and chip shop on same road, on opposite side of street and it was delicious and staff pleasant.

We'd read about the quality of the fish and chips here, so decided to visit. The quality was absolutely first class, and the only reason I haven't given a 5 star is due to portion size. The batter on the cod was light, crispy and non-greasy. The chips were probably the best I have ever had, again without a drop of grease. When we'd finished eating out of the paper there was barely a spot of grease. My only other gripe was I ordered and paid for x2 cutlery sets but did not receive them, even though I'd asked if they were in the wrapped meals.

Great fish and chips, light batter cooked in dripping so great flavour, chips cooked just right not overdone like many places. Good value too, I'd expect to pay a bit more these days.

Great fish and chips in a gorgeous location. We love Aldeburgh and it was such a treat to enjoy fresh fish and chips last weekend overlooking the sea. We queued for nearly ten minutes but service was prompt and food was hot and delicious.

OMG they cook all their food in BEEF FAT ? but don?t let the customer know until it?s too late. Not only is it incredibly unhealthy but we have vegetarians and vegans in our family who innocently had pineapple fritter and chips before realising. Disgusting. AVOID

Small portions, long wait, didn?t taste great, certainly didnt live up to the hype wouldnt go back. Disappointed cant normally go wring with chips by the sea.

Went to Aldeburgh for F & C, on the basis people "rave" about it, and if I'm truly honest was underwhelmed with the experience. The Chips were under-seasoned, and you didn't get much time to apply salt and vinegar (or, it was watered down), yet either way left the chips tasteless. The fish was expensive X2 , and was more batter than fish, with the fish that was in the batter being grossly over-cooked to the pont of being rubbery and generally not nice to eat. It's not very often I don't finish eating my fish and chip lunch, but this was one of those occasions where it ended up in the bin! Had it not been for the queing, I would have returned it!

Food and service hugely unimpressive. The portions have shrunk massively from last year the fish was over cooked and the service from the lady in the shop today was pretty poor and rude

Was travelling between Lowestoft & Ipswich and decided to take a diversion via Aldeburgh to try this place. Fish was a tad smaller than I expected, but the taste was exceptional. True example of quality over quantity. Chips were brilliant, large portion for a medium! Crispy and fluffy, made better by the beef dripping. Worth doing the diversion again.

This has to be the WORST Fish and Chip shop on our Island. My brother and I had called in for Fish and Chips so we could go sit on the beach with them. There were a few people waiting but our order was taken very quickly. I was a tad surprised when our order was being wrapped and handed over within a few minutes. I commented to the server and he just smiled and said we had ordered the right thing?. We found ourselves a nice bench on the beach so all good so far! Then I opened the cremated fish (Cod)! I couldn?t believe my eyes. This awful cremated offering was truly shocking and cold to boot! Even the chips were poor and cold. I was so disappointed. I pulled off a piece fish and then quick as a flash, a Seagull who had obviously been planning the snatch, swooped in from behind me and swiped it from my hand. Well serves him right, he probably choked on it. I wouldn?t have been able to eat it anyway so I wasn?t as outraged as I might have been had the fish been edible. Give this place a wide berth, there are much better Fish and Chips to be had elsewhere ?
