Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I came here for my first telephone order for fish and chips for my family, and I have to say that considering all the changes and amendments needed for business to carry on with take aways in the difficult period, I was very impressed!!!
The organisation had been well thought out, clear markings as to where to stand and I was told exactly what I needed to do on the phone to collect my order.
Fantastic hygiene provisions at hand and everything was packed hyginicaly for us to eat.
Staff couldn't of been more helpful and polite and I think they are all doing a wonderful job!!
We will be back! :)

After looking at the recent reviews we were unsure whether to try The Fish Shop, but as we were staying on holiday not far away we decided to risk it. I telephoned the order through to pick up at 6.00 p.m. We arrived at just before 6.00 and paid for the order. In less than five minutes our order was ready.
The fish, chips and mushy peas were excellent, could not fault them. Chips - lovely, fish delicious with great batter. All very hot.

Have been getting cod & chips from here for many years, always good. But today husband came back with 2 cod, large chips and curry sauce, fish size has decreased but price increased to £21.80!! This is eye watering and so it ceases to be an occasional treat for us. Sorry but won't be visiting again.

The fish shop has been on a down hill slope for a while now. Used to be the best fish and chips around and value for money. Unfortunately the chips are never good, the fish is small and either soggy and wet or overcooked. Lady at the the takeaway window is always miserable and a tall brown haired girl at the counter area is always rude and uninterested. A real shame. I did write a letter to the fish shop in regards to this but no response and when I called I got told ‘theyre too busy to talk to you’ refusal to tell me who was on the phone or the name of who i would need to speak to.

Although the staff were friendly enough, I went for some good fish and chips.
We ordered 1 medium cod, 1 large cod and 2 portions of chips. When we got it home had a bit of a job to know what was the large and medium both were very thin. Now for the chips yes there were a lot of them all stuck together and soggy. Lot of the chips went in the bin. Never mind learning curve we won't be back.

Visited Thursday Jan 30th with Railway colleagues. After a morning on site and very cold we all enjoyed eating in this fantastic fish and chip shop. Lovely batter on the cod which was a nice and thick portion that tasted fishy not bland and amazing chips. Curry sauce the best I’ve had in ages. Nice tea and friendly faces.

Really disappointed tonight. Went into the fish shop at 8.15 (closing at 8.30) and offered only items cooked for last ??? did not have the opportunity of putting an order in which would have been large cod and large haddock with portion of chips - freshly cooked. Is this how local trade is treaded - we live in the village.

Have been going to fish shop for a while now, never any complaints, always gorgeous food and friendly staff. Since reopened after lock down, still the same. The staff have done more than enough to ensure the safe distancing of the customers with the input of screens etc. I went to order inside of shop, which only allows three in at any one time, paid and was then politely asked to wait outside to the right of shop, where there was a hatch which was clearly signed to wait for placed orders. there was also a bell which telephone collections would ring once arrived to collect. Was told my food would be five to ten minutes and sure enough it was there within five minutes...and was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very polite and courteous...would recommend to anyone a hundred times over. Well done to them all

Good COVID procedure with regards ordering. Food is then brought to customers in sequence.
Great freshly cooked fish with non greasy batter. Well cooked chips which were good colour and texture.
Might have to try again before we return home at the end of the week.

We always used to make a point of using this fish and chip shop when in the area. We were really looking forward to our fish and chips today. What a disappointment. Two large Haddock (dread to think how small the medium would have been) Thought we would treat ourselves to a vegetable spring roll and a chinese one. Absolutely awful - the vegetable one was like putting teaspoon of salt in your mouth and went in the bin and the chinese one was not any better and also went in the bin!!!! Chips are chips. Wasted a lot of money on a rubbish meal.

Best fish and chips for miles during lockdown they had the best system we saw anywhere to safeguard themselves and their customers. Often go here polite staff prompt service can’t fault them in any way. Our favourite place for fish and chips.

Used to come here every few weeks on the way to North Norfolk years ago, and the fish and chips were the best around. Remembering this I made a detour to get lunch here. I ended up with the tiniest piece of 'medium cod' I've ever seen. It was just a square, about 1/3 of the size you would get in the fish and chip shops around the coast, and more expensive! Chewy batter on the fish, but chips were ok. On the plus side the shop looked very clean inside.

My partner and I both had a large cod and chips. The fish was superb, lovely and fresh, not too much batter. The chips were awful. They looked brown in colour, had very few thick ones, mainly straggly thin ones and had very little flavour, we both left most of them.
Have used this chippy loads over the years and it has always been good, but this is the second time in a month that the chips have been poor. Hoping it improves next time.

I left a 1* negative review a couple of years back and never intended to visit again. Was running out of time after working late so thought "it would be better than nothing" Actually, it was great. For the first time ever a large haddock WAS a large haddock. It was beautifully cooked and not at all greasy and the chips were amazing (a large portion would easily feed three adults) I would have given them 5* stra review if they de-boned the fish more thoroughly but it was still more boneless than the last time and I managed fine. They were so COVID safe and organised so we WILL be back and I have made sure I am telling everyone how good they are now. I would highly recommend a visit.

So after the Cromer carnival day, we stopped as always each year for our tea. The meal itself was lovely. However, talk about the greed of the owners and lack of care for outside guests! So 200 heinz tomato sauces sachets from local supplier cost £18.00 Roughton selling for 70p a portion! £122 variance?
We sat eating our tea at tables provided by the business, vaping!! Table next to us billowing their smell all over us snd more importantly the children,so much we move tables.
To be honest, after this visit,it may be next time a option to stay and queue in Cromer!
