  “We’ve stopped at this fish and chip restaurant in the past and decided to stop here for lunch when we were in Sheringham for the day. Overall, our experience was very positive and we had a really lovely fish and chips lunch. Food Quality Our party ordered fish and chips and pie and chips with baked beans and mushy peas on the side. As our food was cooked to order, it came to the table, hot and fresh. The fish was nicely battered and had a really good flavour. The chips were just right – not too soft and not too crispy. The portion size seemed just about right. Value for money Our party felt the value for money was right. Two in our group ordered the “Over 60s special”, which in our opinion was amazing value for money, considering it also came with a side and a drink. Atmosphere/Layout The restaurant is appropriately decorated and themed, and the atmosphere was light. Service/Timeframe We came in shortly after the restaurant opened, and our order was taken quickly, and the food came to the table quickly, but we noticed that some people do reserve their table to ensure a place, and as things got busier the wait times could be affected. The service was overall smooth, knowledgeable, and completely professional—she kept everything running seamlessly, even if her approach was a bit more formal. Based on our prior experience and the experience at this visit, we would be happy to return and enjoy a really good fish and chips meal in the future. I would be happy to recommend “The Sheringham Trawler” to anyone looking for a classic and tasty dining Fish and Chips meal out.”

  “Loved it here. Really tasty fish, chips and mushy peas, so much better than what you get in the surrounding pubs (which can be awful). Plus you can bring a bottle, a nice touch! Just to note that if you want to order a skate wing, you need to do so 4 hours beforehand.”

  “We are a family of four adults and arrived when they opened today. Really friendly staff (both young women) who were polite and efficient. We had a takeaway which was really delicious and reasonably priced. We have also eaten in (during the winter) and the food and service were good. Would recommend”

  “This is my favourite takeaway chip shop in Sheringham. Usually the staff are very friendly, with good quality chips. However we went again last night and I unfortunately won’t be returning again. The place was being run by a bunch of teenage girls, who had awful customer service skills. They glared at you as you walked in, with no greeting or smile. I’ve worked in restaurants before so I understand being tired and working long days, however I genuinely felt like their was an issue when I walked in and felt very uncomfortable. A girl took my order- a very awkward encounter as she barely spoke to me when I tried to make small talk and seemed visibly annoyed at me. There was a long queue before me waiting for their orders so I took my brought drink outside to my husband and children. I was less than 5 mins gone, when I returned inside to somehow my order being ready almost immediately. I have never received an order from this place so quickly, especially with a queue. The entire staff glared at me as they were calling out my order for collection, I apologised that I went outside as I wasn’t expecting it to be so quick. I got nothing but silence and stares. I tried to make small talk with a different girl who was wrapping up my order, but she also ignored me. At the end I smiled at her and said have a good night but she just walked away. They salt and vinegar’d the chips themselves but you could not taste it. The chips were genuinely vile, soggy, mushed together and tasted off. Even my children wouldn’t eat them. We ended up throwing them in the bin. Very disappointing experience all around.”

  “Probably the worst fish & chips I’ve ever had. Will not use again. There’s better ones in the area. Don’t waste your money.”

  “I can honestly say that I have never had a nicer piece of plaice ever. It tasted so fresh and the batter melted in the mouth. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It is definitely the best fish and chips shop I have ever visited, and I have been to a few in my 74 years! Well worth the 5 stars. Thoroughly recommended. Go visit if you're ever in Sheringham.”

  “Worst gluten free fish I've ever had. Upon asking for a resolution was met with a horrible attitude and rudeness. The batter was translucent, fish was undercooked. Batter is one of the easiest things to get right for gluten free food. I didn't even ask for a refund, I asked for a small chips instead. Haddock is 9 pounds and chips are what, 2? I'm genuinely appalled at the rudeness. I wouldn't rate a small business so poorly because I believe in supporting local businesses, but whoever was behind the till on Wednesday march 11 at midday has no business in a customer service job. It's so disappointing to go out and not be able to eat because of my intolerance, but even more disappointing to go out and be spoken to like an idiot for wanting chips instead of a completely sub par product. I've worked in kitchens, I know the fryer wasn't hot enough and that's why it was so bad. Ruined an otherwise nice day out. I don't have a tenner to spare on inedible fish. I took it back to show them I didn't eat it and they were still useless.”

  “Absolutely scrumptious fish and chips. The batter is maize-free. I'm allergic to maize and corn so I must check. Most chippies use corn, but to my delight, maize-free! And really delicious! Chips cooked in beef dripping, has a lovely depth of flavour. I came here on a day trip from Norwich Over 60's special is excellent value for money: cod, chips, mushy peas (there's a choice), and tea or coffee. I asked for decaf and was given this. A really lovely meal. When you compare I paid £7.30 for a latte and a date slice in a cafe in Norwich, you'll agree this is fantastic and if you're on a low income like me, you'll leave feeling even more satisfied because you've had a super hot satisfying meal!”

  “We received a warm welcome and were very impressed by the decor and cleanliness. The fish and chips were really good, prices reasonable and the service great. We were visited the theatre so this was really convenient being almost opposite.”
