About Holt Fish Bar

Vegan options and gluten free sausage and chips are available, and a senior meal option pairs fish, chips, and peas with a cuppa. Food is cooked to order, and a wait can build during busy periods.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the fish and chips, with crispy batter and well-cooked chips singled out repeatedly. Mushy peas and a curry sauce with a slight kick earn separate mentions, and one reviewer returned for plaice and scampi after a good haddock. Close behind is the battered sausage, including a gluten free version and a vegan option that one diner was glad to find. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and the seating and homely decor get a nod. Quick phone orders were ready on arrival, and one couple said they ordered plenty for under twenty pounds. The complaints are specific: two reviewers found the fish lacking flavour, one describing soggy batter like a wet pancake, and another called the curry sauce thin and watery. One reviewer said the portions were small, with chips the size of a small order and a large battered sausage about four inches long. Several diners still call it a find worth a long drive, and one says they came back after the haddock was so good.

“We found this place by accident last week. I must say it's our No "1" Fish & Chip stop. Definitely worth the 1 Hr trip from home, everything was spot on & very fresh and amazing crispy batter & very tasty chips. And the curry sauce just perfect sweet & a slight kick, and very tasty mushy peas. Clean and the Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“The outside was inviting and a nice interior with seating but sadly the fish was lacking flavour and the batter was soggy, more like wrapped in a wet pancake, not sure what the brown stuff in the vinegar bottles was it was without taste, the chips were ok but not somewhere I’d recommend. Perhaps the staff were having a bad night but the worse fish and chips I’ve had in a long time.”
