About Beccles Fish Bar
Beccles Fish Bar is a takeaway in Beccles, based at 21 Smallgate. The menu includes cod and chips and sausage and chips, two plates that customers can choose between when they step up to order. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays, which leaves six trading days each week. At busy times a queue forms, and it sometimes reaches out the door, so the line is part of the visit when the shop is full.

Customer Review Summary
Sausage and chips lead the praise, with reviewers describing the chips as full of flavour and cooked to perfection, and the sausages, which one believes come from the local butcher, as having their own unique flavour. Close behind is the fish: a large cod described as the biggest in years, not greasy and still red hot after a 15 minute trip home, and a skate and chips called tasty and big with plenty of chips. Several mention friendly staff and good portions, and one reviewer who collected a pre-ordered meal says it was ready at the agreed time while the queue stretched toward the door. The criticism is real though. One reviewer found the chips cold and greasy, with sausages not much better, and noted a server eating and on a phone. Another opened a chips portion to find an oily, mushy pile of potatoes. A third thought the cod might be old or frozen and the service slow, and a returning fan says the fish now seems cooked too long in a hard batter.

“Average fish and chips. Cod probably a tad old. Maybe frozen. Popular and slow to get served.”

“I just ordered a portion of chips here and I open it on the way home and it’s just an oily mushy pile of potatoes. That wasn’t food. It was well I don’t know but not appetising”
