Most Disliked
While Heritage Plaice Fish and Chips garners much love, some patrons have noted occasional wait times during peak hours, particularly on busy Friday evenings. During these times, the restaurant fills up quickly, and service may slow momentarily. A few diners mention that while the meals are generally fantastic, consistency in the batter and fish quality can vary occasionally.
Some visitors might miss more extensive vegetarian options, as the focus leans heavily towards classic fish and chips and meat dishes. While there are delicious alternatives, expanding the vegetarian offerings could enhance the experience for those looking for more variety. Also, seating arrangements may feel a bit cramped during rush hours, as the popular spot attracts a bustling crowd.

Came in here after seeing them on Facebook and after a lovely walk up the Garn Lakes- we had chips which were perfectly cooked and huge portions, butter chicken curry which was as authentic as you can get and absolutely delicious. But the star of the show for me was the masala spiced fish- crispy and full of flavour! These staff were the loveliest people you could wish to meet- absolutely nothing was too much trouble- if you live near here look after these guys, they’re amazing.

What more can anyone ask! Very friendly and super informative when I went in while here on holiday. Not only that, but probably some of the best fish and chips I've had in years. Fish potion huge, very well cooked, lovely thin, crispy batter. Hand cut chips, good quality potato. And while I waited, was given direction to some local attractions and whilst chatting I mentioned my love of authentic Indian food, for the owner to then go back stage and get me a portion of her homemade family meal, again delicious. Thank you for friendly and excellent service coupled with well prepared food.

Absolutely love this chip shop! Every time I visit, the food is top-notch. The chips are always lush with plenty of salt and vinegar. Their burgers are freshly made and full of flavour, and the kebabs are packed with meat and fresh salad. You can tell they really care about the quality of what they serve. They’re always friendly, welcoming, and happy to chat while your food’s being prepared. Service is quick, even when they’re busy, and everything is cooked fresh to order. Highly recommend.
