About Victoria Hot Spot
At Unit 7 in Carrickfergus, Victoria Hot Spot serves fish and chips alongside pink pasties, an item not found on every menu of this kind. The four-item menu keeps things simple, with fish suppers and fish and peas rounding out the fare alongside onion rings. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations to arrange. The shop operates as a takeaway, suited to picking up food rather than eating in.

Customer Review Summary
Fish is the main draw, with reviewers praising huge chunks of white fish in crispy batter and a decent-sized fish supper with nice chips. One adds that service can be slow. The criticism is sharper: a returning visitor found the pink pastie and onion rings far from the fabulous ones of a year earlier, and another calls it among the worst chippies in Northern Ireland.

“I had a fish supper tonight and I did enjoy it nice chips and a decent size fish but at over £15 (delivery included) sadly now it's just a rare treat when I used to have it once a week but we're in a cost of living crisis and I just can't afford it every week now”

“As a Carrick native back on a visit from UK I was really looking forward to a pink pastie and real onion rings. I had these on my last visit a year ago and they were fabulous. However, last night was far from fabulous. I have never eaten …”

“While others are fighting for the top spot there is some competition for the worst chippie in Northern Ireland. You'd be excused to probably believe a place in Carrickfergus could make chips …”
