About Andy's Fish Bar
On Barker Crescent in Melton Mowbray, Andy's Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway with a traditional shop format. Fish is a regular order, and chips are cooked to order rather than held under a lamp. Veggie burgers sit on the menu alongside the usual range. High chairs are available for families with young children, and the shop offers takeaway for those eating off site, with seating also available for anyone who wants to eat in. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no booking needed. It opens Tuesday to Saturday and closes on Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fish, describing it as delicious, flaky and always cooked beautifully, with chips done just the way one diner likes them. Close behind is the friendly service, mentioned in nearly every review, including one visitor who called in just as the shop was closing on a Saturday afternoon and another who stopped in after a funeral and found the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Portions come up repeatedly as huge, with plenty of food and excellent value for money, and one reviewer praises the veggie burgers. Several are not local and still make the drive, with one calling it their go-to chippy even though they don't live in Melton and another saying it beat every other chippy they had tried since moving to town. The one note of caution is cost: one reviewer says what they spend depends on the order, and that fish is the more expensive option at the chippy. Reviewers describe it as a small, chatty, traditional shop where some sit in to eat.
