“Unfortunately this place has gone really downhill in the last 6 months or so. We've been going here since we moved to the village 9 years ago and have always been very impressed, especially with how fresh the fish has been, and how soft and delicious the chips are. But the last 4 or 5 orders have been very disappointing. As other reviews have said, the chips are always now stale, rock hard and unedible. The fish was dry and the portion sizes have also become very small (size of a small cod is now much smaller than the fish bites portion, but twice the price). Perhaps because it's been a quieter weekday, not sure. We kept giving them more chances in the hope they were one-offs but it doesn't seem like they've listened to any feedback, so we won't be going back for a long time.”

“Had a takeaway the other week and the fish was of the best quality I’ve had in a long time - it was fresh tasting, the batter had the perfect amount of crunchiness, and the chips were piping hot. I would definitely recommend Kibworth Fish Bar to any local people who want a good takeaway meal.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the chips, and lately mostly for the worse. Several long-time customers, some going back decades, say recent orders brought chips that were stale, rock hard, reheated, or cardboard-tasting, with one describing a soapy, bleachy flavour and binning them after four visits in a row. The fish splits opinion. Some call it fresh and the best in years, with crunchy batter and piping hot chips on a good visit, and one says it is always lovely. Others report dry or tough fish, a large fish thinner than the chips, small portions, and large peas swapped for small. Staff draw praise as friendly, though one reviewer recalls a colleague suggesting cod be passed off when the haddock had run out. The worker instead apologised for the delay and waited for the haddock to be ready.
