Not at all what I expected.We were actually quite disappointed. That must have been the dearest piece of cod skin I've ever had! I doubt the meat exceeded half an inch in depth and was quite a small portion. The chips, while not undercooked, were more like the air-fried variety; little colour and quite dense. I doubt we'll bother again.

Tastes great but fish is very small compared with the same price in Saxmundham. But without doubt the biggest problem is the amount of bones in the fish. Haven't had a piece of cod without bones in for ages.

Great chips but both haddock and cod had soft non-crispy batter. A big failing for chippy! Not sure how they can serve that?

Thought I'd give this place a go today, and I'm so glad I did! It was by far the best fish and chips I've had in a looong time, and I will be looking forwards to going back again!

Before visiting Suffolk recently, a friend living near us in France recommended this fish and chip shop, so we travelled over 50 miles to it. We think they depend on their recommendations because what we had was the worst fish and chip meal we had eaten in many years. One third of the chips were scraps, something most shops sell separately, and my fish had a longish inedible tail without any fish meat on it. The batter in places was soggy, so over half of the meal was dumped. We wish that we hadn't bothered to travel so far to buy a rubbish meal. We had another fish and chips at a further away place and this meal was far far superior, and cheaper.

Excellent fish and chips. Friendly staff though we were chatting so much they forgot my "scraps" - a major crime?

Called in whilst staying locally in Aldeburgh recently. Had two large portions of fish & chips and was not disappointed. Crispy batter on a huge piece of fish, and lovely well cooked chips. As others have noted the fish had some bones in, but fish do have bones and so you should always expect them in my view.

After driving 42 miles to go to the Golden Galleon on recommendation from friends, we tried the upper deck. When the Medium fish arrived I cut the Burnt Batter open and found just a few Flakes of Fish, in hindsight I should have complained to the waitress but instead we ordered another piece of large Fish to be able to eat Fish with our Chips. The Salad was not all that either.I left a healthy tip - Never again !!Very very disappointed, would never go there again.I think they are living on their Reputation!!!!!?

Have just had the worst cod and chips I?ve ever had. It was all batter, very little fish, and had bones in it. It was totally dry and the chips were mostly dregs.Very disappointing.Should have checked the reviews before and saved myself the grief.

Pretty average and I was expecting way better. Had 2x medium cod and chips. Both pieces of cod were dry and full of bones. Wouldn't go back.

It was a lovely sunny day so what better than getting 2 takeaway cod and chips to sit and eat on the beach front but sadly that's as far as our enjoyment went! The fish looked like it was double battered like cardboard but full of grease! What has gone wrong? We only ate the fish but left all the batter. The chips were passable. Considering the fish and chips were apparently straight out of the fryer they certainly weren't piping hot either....bitterly disappointed.

Large Cod was terrible, had been re-cooked in my opinion. Batter was like crispy cardboard, hardly any fish inside. Chips were okay, mushy peas portion was tiny, cans of coke were lovely :-)

We always eat here when we visit Aldeburgh. However, the older waitress was so rude to me that my husband and I had to walk out. In fact she really upset me but I was determined not to let her ruin my day. Suffice to say, we will not be returning, which I feel is a real shame as the food is usually very good.

Lovely family orientated fish and chippy - we have been 7-8 times now and the staff are always friendly, for quality of food is great and good value for money. A positive is also that the restaurant upstairs is air conditioned so a great escape on a hot day!
