Quick info
About Winscombe Fish Bar
On Sandford Rd in Winscombe, Winscombe Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway operating on a walk-in basis, with a pub opposite and a co-op next door. The menu runs from cod and chips to a double cheeseburger meal, alongside children's fish bite tray meals. Orders come packaged for collection rather than sit-down eating. The counter tends to get busy around 7pm, and a wait for food is common at that time. It opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. Parking is available opposite the shop and along the surrounding streets, making collection straightforward outside the evening rush.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, but most praise the fish and chips and the friendly staff. Several describe the fish as freshly cooked and the chips as perfect, with big portions and a warm welcome. One reviewer calls the food cheap, and another notes a wait when busy around 7pm. A family order drew a complaint of soggy, bland chips, flavourless fish and a "truly awful" double cheeseburger.

“Fantastic Fish & Chips from lovely people. Ian and Andy are great and the food is top notch. Chips are perfect and the fish always delicious and freshly cooked. Love it. 👍 …”

“We have stopped here a couple of times on the way back home from Bristol airport. It always seems to be busy around 7pm which is a good sign but does mean you have to wait a little while for your food to be ready. We have always been given a warm welcome and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Portions are big so for most people, regular will be big enough. Lots of local parking available opposite and in the surrounding area. Next door is a co-op if you need anything for dessert and there is a pub opposite too!”

“Ordered a meal for my family of 6 via the online app while staying at a local site and I chose this place because it was very highly recommended as being worth the extra drive rather than picking one more local. Sadly it wasn't so great, the total was £51 for 4 children's fish bite tray meals, one double cheeseburger meal and one cod and chips. The regular portion of chips was a small tray which wasn't value for money and all chips on everyone's meals were soggy and bland. The fish was a generous portion all round but again lacked any flavour and my husband said his burger was truly awful and a very cheap no frills bit of meat. We wouldn't recommend this fish bar and wouldn't use it again unfortunately”
