Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the fish and chips, particularly praising the crispy batter and generous portion sizes. Reviews often highlight the cleanliness and friendly service, which creates a welcoming vibe. The menu diversity impresses, with offerings extending beyond fish—think kebabs and savory pies that keep everyone happy.
Many visitors also appreciate the convenient takeaway and delivery service, with Uber Eats making it easy to enjoy their favorite meals from home. This blend of quality, service, and variety at reasonable prices makes College Fish Bar a beloved staple in the local dining scene.
Most Disliked
Despite its popularity, some diners express disappointment over the lack of delivery availability at times, particularly when they used to rely on it for late-night cravings. A few reviews mention that peak hours can mean a longer wait for food, especially on busy Thursday evenings. The casual setting may not be suitable for those looking for a more formal dining experience, as it retains a down-to-earth vibe.
Some guests wish for a greater variety of vegetarian options, as most dishes center around fish and meat, making it challenging for non-meat eaters to find satisfying choices. However, these minor grievances don’t overshadow its well-earned reputation as a top chippy.

This is the best chippy ever it's such a shame we can't get it delivered anymore I've been to quite a few chippy's and this is hands down the best I will miss it. I'm not sure I can order from any other chippy thanks for the great deliveries. It's hard to find a good chippy and this reminds me of my childhood great while the deliveries lasted. Your lucky if you can get to this chippy. And I'm writing this after not getting deliveries anymore but it does deserve the props.

Living in the city centre, we have found it difficult to find somewhere that sells decent, real 'chippy' chips. We came across this shop via Uber Eats. I can honestly say the food we had tonight was some of the nicest chips we've had in a long time! We ordered large fish and chips / sausage, fish and chips / savaloy, chips and curry sauce / burger and chips / battered chips and curry sauce. The food was hot, very tasty and great portions (see photo of large fish and chips - fork for size comparison). Thank you so much! Highly recommended and we will definitely be ordering again.
