Quick info
About Heywood Fish Bar
Heywood Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway on Hartley St in Heywood, with a café side running alongside the chippy menu. The fish comes in a regular or a small size, and there is no large. English curry sauce is on the menu for the chips. The café side adds a jacket potato and baked beans, which has a Slimming World friendly option for anyone following that plan. Cakes are also part of the selection there, so a visit can end on something sweet. A cup of tea is served with meals.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and the café side, describing banter, a welcoming feel and fast service. One calls it a go-to place for fish locally, and another found the fish excellent and the chips nice. Others praise fresh, delicious food and good value, plus options beyond the chippy menu, including a Slimming World friendly jacket potato with baked beans, a cake selection and a decent cup of tea. The complaints are specific and come from several lower ratings. Reviewers describe greasy, soggy fish and chips with the batter peeling off and no crispiness, and one found the onion rings and battered sausage too oily. Another got rubbery fish with hardly any fish inside the batter. One who threw away greasy fish after taking it home says their message to the shop only drew the question of what time they had visited. The English curry sauce was the one thing a critical reviewer did not fault.

“I bought a few pieces of fish a few weeks ago and when I got them home they were full of grease and I threw the lot away !! I messaged the place to tell them what had happened and all they could say was what time did I go in ??? Will never go in again …. I honestly don’t usually moan about stuff but it was absolutely terrible”

“Fantastic cafe with friendly staff and customers. Always have a good laugh with the banter. Food is fresh and delicious 😋. They'll even do a Slimming World friendly jacket and baked beans. Louise is a legend! I love this place!”
- Vic Piner
“They only do a regular and a small size fish - no large. The skin was greasy and very soggy. No crispiness what so ever. It just fell to bits. You know it’s bad when the skin peels off the fish as you unwrap the paper and film. The chips were the same, greasy and soggy. It was cheap but I’d rather pay a few extra quid for some better quality. The English curry sauce was the only thing that wasn’t bad. Overall, disappointed.”
