Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most praise, with reviewers describing the fish as fried just right and a regular order of fish and chips as decent in size and well cooked. Close behind are the pies and burgers, called the best one regular household has tasted, along with prawn toast and Chinese curry, and a couple of reviewers name the Chinese food as a favourite. Several mention easy online ordering, a first-purchase discount, food ready on arrival, and friendly, efficient staff even when busy or near the end of a shift. The complaints are specific. One reviewer opened a small fish to find what looked like a small battered sausage and cut through a third of the batter before reaching any fish. Another reports pale chips, cold fish and a sticky floor, though the curry sauce was good. A third says a kebab order missed items, had no salad as requested, and came with chewy chicken that seemed to have sat too long. Even so, the curry sauce and prawn toast get picked out for praise.

“One of the best fish and chips shops in Chester, it has clear great menus with lots of food to choose from, all the food tastes amazing and the fish tastes really great! I would recommend this to anyone who lives in Chester as it's 1 great fish and chips shop!”
- John Rowlands
“Today I went into the mill lane fish bar and ordered a small fish. I have done this several times and it is normally a fairly decent size. On this occasion, when I opened the box, I honestly thought that they had given me a small battered sausage, I can tell you that this is no exaggeration. The box was way to big for it, and considering this fish bar is one of the most expensive in the area, you would expect a decent portion. To make matters extremely worse, I cut into about a third of the batter and still found no fish. When I finally struck oil it was nothing to write home about. I am sure that if I had bought a fish cake then this would have contained more fish the the so called battered cod did. I will stick to my usual takeaway in future.”
