Reviews Overview
Most Liked
One standout feature at Shanghai Fish & Chips is the generous portion sizes, particularly for chips, where you’ll get a mountain for just £2. Customers rave about the quality of the cod, which is cooked to perfection despite its not-so-fluffy batter. Families especially appreciate the kids' menu, offering a variety of options that keep young diners happy. The freshly made sausages in batter hit the mark with customers, many proclaiming it as spot on and the best they’ve had. A casual atmosphere paired with friendly service rounds out the experience, ensuring diners feel right at home.
Most Disliked
Some diners mention the decor and signage as slightly outdated, which may not appeal to those expecting a trendy dining atmosphere. Another common critique revolves around the chips; while they are generous in portion, there are claims that they could be better compared to some other local options. Additionally, the curry sauce receives mixed reviews; while the flavor is well-loved, some customers find it a bit too thin for their liking. This leads to a split opinion on whether it meets the expectations set by the delicious offerings of the menu.

We had Cod, Chips, Sausage in Batter and Curry Sauce and finished the lot. For starters the price is very good £2 for chips and it was a massive portion, I’ve paid a lot more for large at other places and not got as many. The chips were nice, I won’t lie I’ve had better but they were up there. The sausage in batter was spot on just how I like and good quality. The cod did taste nice than it looked, the batter wasn’t as light and fluffy as some others but still nice and the cod itself was nice and at that price £3.80 for a cod I was impressed. Lastly the curry sauce, the flavour was bang on the money but as someone mentioned it could be a touch thicker, but being thinner it did seem to last longer and I would definitely have it again. Both the staff, man and woman were very friendly. (I’ve posted a price list to help others)
