Sausages are not great.. and the chips! LOL don't bother!!! Just looked like oily mash potatoes!! They didnt even look like chips! That to us is a recipe for a bad gut. Straight in the bin!!

I think it is an affordable outlet when you desire some very fast food like French fries, burger and the likes. You will be attended to by the courteous staff and you will be satisfied and the chances of you return is very high whenever you desire what they have.

Everytime I go into the shop they are all so welcoming sometimes they make a few mistakes when they are busy but the food is good and when they do make mistakes and I speak with the boss he always sorts them out so overall good service thank you.

Sausages, saveloys , chips , pies , chicken ........ All good so far. Reasonably priced and local. Staff are friendly enough and give a decent level of customer service. Only one issue and that was with an apple pie but could be a one off. Looked very clean when I went and was in peak times. Well managed and good food ! Cheers guys ! Parking: Lots of cabs station here nearby to the station. Normally manage to pull up nearby. No allocated parking but in a residential setting is not difficult to find a spot .

Awful... no chicken cooked. Told would be a 15 min wait.. fair enough only to be told another 15 minutes. Joke

Good points - small chips portion was substantial, tasty savaloy with some spice in it. Weak point - cooks chips as ordered, so they are very hot and not properly drained. Needed several minutes exposure before they were cool enough to eat

Purchased 2 lots of sausage and chips. To be honest not very good chips, didnt really have the taste and much better is available locally. Sausages ok and price was comparable to local average. Guy who served us was friendly enough. Sadly I wouldnt be in a rush to go back, maybe I was just unlucky Parking: Mainly doubles yellow lines and permit so be careful

Second time getting fish from it. Fresh, delicious. Fresh oil and staff keeps up good cleanliness and hygiene. Will definitely keep using Golden Fry. Keep up the good work lads

December 21, 2023

Ordered a delivery which was super fast but the chips were so old and stale that they were cold. Like they had been left on the counter for an hour or so. Not even like warm. Shop didn t offer to replace. Just said sorry. Disgusting.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is not a lot of wheelchair room, and to enter the shop, you re required to go up a few steps. Food

December 21, 2023

Ordered via Uber eats and I know they add extra so everything seems more expensive but I paid £4.50 for large chips and there was barely enough for two people. Unfortunate because the food actually tastes okay (little bit on the cold side, but they could be due to delivery driver) I m appalled to be honest that they even send them as a large! I feel robbed!

December 21, 2023

The worst chips I have ever tasted, obviously refried old chips and definitely not fresh oil as smelt nasty and left a bad taste. All 3 of us did not eat more than a few of the chips each before throwing them away. The only good thing if they were edible was portion size. Shame as they ended in the bin. Real shame as previous owners had great business and were very popular.

TLDR: Fish bland, chips undercooked, staff undertrained. Not what it used to be. I went there on the 4th of October (today) and got a large fish and chips. I used to frequent that place but today I noticed that the staff and menu changed and not for the better. I first asked if they still have mushy peas, since it wasnt on the menu. What I got two minutes of clarification and a guy who REALLY doesnt know his onions: pizza? Chicken piece? At this point I gave up one peas, which considering its a chippie staple really should still be on the menu, and ordered a large fish and chips. BTW they didnt double check if I wanted the large chips or regular chips but that one was my bad given how I knew that neither of the two men had even a basic grasp of the language. Also they took over a minute trying to find the ketchup- which was in a bright red bottle on the counter with all the other sauces. But all of that is small fry compared to the real gripe: the food. I used to frequent this place because the fish used be the best I ever had-buttery, detectably savory and a light touch of spice. Today I got the polar opposite, not only has it somehow tasted dry, despite being fresh-all semblance of flavour has left the building. Whilst before the batter brovided a nice bit of flavour to the fillet-this time it was only there to clock in and not do anything of worth. The chips were their own victorian freak show-not only I gkt my salt vinegar and ketchup on about the 1/3 of the chips and there wasnt much of it. The rest being as bland as the fish. The lot was also at least a minute and a half undercooked. Think al-dente chips. Now correct me if I am wrong, but chips should be light on the inside & crisp on the outside. The latter isnt ways a possibility due to the vinegar but A: there was hardly any vinegar to begin with and B: they used to be at least a bit crispy despite the vinegar. Fancy Fry, what happened? I am not writing this just to vent-I want you to do better. The people deserve better. Re-look into how youre preparing your fish, cook your chips longer and for the love of God, train your staff. Because this whole joint reaks of managerial apathy. Because the staff was polite and enthusiastic, but there wasnt even a hint of experience or a trace of training, and that is just plain sad. I finished the fish with a frown and couldnt stomach half of my chips-the drink was the best part of that meal. I dont think I will be coming back, but please do better. Nobody deserves the Clinically-Depressed Meal that I had.

Absolute worst chips ever had! Freshly cooked but very under cooked and hard! Wouldn t even rate 1 star. Not edible at all.

December 21, 2022

They advertise as halal, but you can print the same certificate of in Google. Be very skeptical. Ask to see their suppliers or invoices. Dont trust a halal logo.

Chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Still not the best but good. The chicken was amazing, juicy and the seasoning was great. The price was great too and staff was friendly. I would recommend despite the bad reviews

THIS IS NO LONGER UNDER THE SAME MANAGEMENT. SUCH A SHAME!! Only ordered chips on this occasion and they were awfully undercooked and too greasy. Will not be returning. Need to hunt for another good chippy :( PREVIOUS OWNERS Been visiting this great little fish and chip shop, for just over 1 year- always cooked fresh and great prices. Chunky chips and great cod. Large really means large. We don;t go anywhere else for our fish supper. Highly recommend!

Lovely cod cooked to perfection and portion size of chips is just right but there is not much choice even though the menu given has a good selection as your average fish and chip shop the reality is different. But if you want tasty fish, meat pies and chips Try Golden Fry its pretty good

Quality fish and chips, the best around .

December 21, 2021

I first went to this fish and chip shop around three months ago and the food was grim. The fish wasnt cooked and the batter was a light gold on the outside, inside it was raw white, slimy, totally raw batter. I decided I wouldnt go back again but hunger and the vain hope it was an off night I went back this evening. Cod, chips and peas that was even worse than the first time. Well the peas and chips were okayish but the fish itself was so uncooked it was one step away from sushi and again the batter was just slime. Clearly the people running this place dont eat their own food, if they did they would realise they dont know how to cook battered fish. The most important issue though is that the fish isnt getting up to temperature which puts peoples health at risk. I wont be stupid enough to go back!

Went at 1:30pm just before closing and ordered chips. A Very limited menu for Vegans however their chips where delicious! Soft! And goes well with chilli sauces. If you live locally to the Golden Fry and looking for a quick bite to eat, it is definitely worth visiting. In addition to tasty chips its is incredibly clean and the cooking facilities are well maintained to the point where you can see the metal shine. I only rate it 4 stars because there are no vegan options outside of the chips.

There are no opening hours, they only open when they feel like it. It was about 3pm one weekday when I decided to go for a stroll. On my merry way, I fancied some fish and chips, and I see this place - how convenient! I shall just pop in and give the order so that I can trade my money for food. I see a man in work uniform reading a newspaper on the counter, so they must be open right? Wrong. I pushed into a locked door and the man just stared at me through the glass window. Apart from this single occasion, some of the new owners seem to be friendly people.
