About Kingfisher Fish Bar

On Coast Rd in Norwich, Kingfisher Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway sitting directly across the road from the beach. Fish is cooked to order, so there's a short wait for it fresh out of the fryer, and orders are called out by number when ready. The menu includes mushy peas and curry sauce as sides, and a large battered sausage is available, noticeably bigger than the standard size. Seating covers basic tables inside along with picnic and pub benches outside. It operates on a walk-in basis, with online ordering available for collection, and the shop is often busy with a queue at peak times. Christmas week brings altered hours, with the shop closed from the 24th to the 31st, a shortened midday opening on New Year's Day, and normal hours resuming on the 2nd.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the cod and haddock, with large portions of thick, chunky white fish in a batter described as perfect, not too thick and not oily. The foot long battered sausage comes close behind, called delicious and twice the size of a normal one. Chips are praised as crispy and tasty, and the mushy peas and curry sauce also get mentions. Fish is cooked to order, so several note a short wait, and the shop is repeatedly described as busy with a queue forming, though one reviewer calls it very organised. One reviewer arrived on a packed evening to find the fish had sold out, but says staff were attentive and kept everyone informed. Online orders were ready before the stated time for one reviewer, and another had dinner within minutes of arriving. Diners eat at the indoor tables, at the outside benches, or across the road by the sea, and one says a group of ten received ten hot, freshly boxed meals almost exactly on time.

    “Excellent food, large portions, fish cooked to order so slight wait. Always busy, so be prepared to queue. Tables available inside and outside to eat, or take-away. Large Cod & Chips plus Large Haddock & chips, plus one mushy peas about £30, so not particularly cheap, but good value for what you get.”

    “10 of us went for Fish and chips on 26th June we met each other there as some of the family were on the beach. When we arrived at 17:00 we ordered various cod and chips haddock and chips fish bites and chips that equated to 10 meals asked for collection at 17:30. Almost bang on 17:30 the order number was called and 10 freshly cooked and hot meals were boxed up for us. Everyone commented how hot, fresh and filling their meal was. We sat at two table outside, which made the start to the evening meal fantastic, good food and chatter. I would highly recommend it but do think ahead and order on arrival be prepared for a short wait as it is worth it. I will come here again”
