Quick info
About Eccleshall Fish Bar
Eccleshall Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway at 5 Stafford Rd in Stafford. The menu pairs a traditional fish and chips line-up with kebab and lamb doner meat, so one counter covers both. Fish comes in a large portion or as a mini fish special, and battered sausage has its own double sausage special. Chips can be ordered with curry or gravy as sides, and mixed meat and chips is also listed for those who want something heartier. The counter is staffed by the owner alongside younger team members. A pineapple fritter is on the menu for a sweet finish.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fish, and the verdict is mostly negative: several describe small portions, with one comparing a fish to a fish finger, and batter that is soggy, soft or chewy. One says the batter was not cooked through, another that it split at the ends and left the fish hard and full of bones. Chips came in for warm, not crispy, and a mini fish special arrived with gravy instead of the curry ordered. A lamb doner was called cheaply cut, and a mixed meat and chips contained only four small pieces of chicken. Service draws mixed comments. Some describe an older man serving as rude, silent or slow, and one criticises the owner for shouting at younger staff. Others call the staff friendly. The positive reviews praise value and a kebab meat described as tasty and fresh, bought two days running. One happy order combined a chip butty, battered sausage, and a saveloy with chips and gravy, all described as really nice.

“Disappointing small fish, barely the size of a fish finger coated in a thick batter, so soggy on the inside with a strange flavour. Complete waste of £5.”
- Jay Dub
“Kebab meat was tasty and fresh. It's difficult getting decent meat especially at lunch time but this place served me a good meal two days running.”
- Chris Carrington
“Value for money and great food. Staff were really friendly. Popped in for a chip butty, battered sausage, fish and chips plus a saveloy with chips and gravy. All really nice”
- Jude Mortimer
“Our order included a large fish amongst other things. When we got home we we very disappointed to see the size of it and also by the fact that it was soggy. Would certainly expect more for £9!”
- Flying Ant
“Had the double sausage special for £5, portion was very small! Hardly any chips, but was there tasted nice and I enjoyed it. The service was very poor, extremely slow and the old chap serving never spoke other than to ask for my money, wasn't expecting a full blown conversation, but a hello, goodbye, please and thankyou go a long way in my eyes! Maybe time to employ some enthusiastic younger staff!”
