Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the large portion sizes, saying a large chip can easily feed a family. The freshness of the fish always stands out, especially the cod, which is cooked fresh and encased in deliciously crispy batter. Many enjoy the friendly service and quick turnaround time, often receiving their orders in under five minutes. The lovely local vibe complements the quality food, making every experience pleasant. Plus, the inclusion of options like vegan dishes ensures that every member of the family can find something to enjoy.
Most Disliked
Some patrons mentioned that the fishcakes, while nice, feel a bit unnecessary, especially when the fish and chips are so satisfying. A few reviews note the occasional absence of lemon, which some diners find essential for the perfect fish dish. Additionally, a couple of customers feel that prices could be slightly lower, given the same charge for fish and chips as local pubs. However, these minor issues don't seem to detract from the overall satisfaction of enjoying a meal at Backwell Fish Bar.

Really great fish and chips shop. Huge portions, I think a large chip could feed a family of four. My husband and I both ordered large cod fish and shared a large chip, we could hardly make a dent in the chips. The fish tasted fresh and batter was delicious and really crispy. Chips were also fresh just out of the fryer. We also had a side of mushy peas (good) and a fish cake (very processed and not necessary when you’re getting fish & chips). We ordered at the counter and waited less than 5 minutes for the order. Fast friendly service. The only con was that they didn’t have lemon and you’re paying the same price you would at a pub.
