First time trying their fish & chips and definitely the last. I thought I would try them based on reviews. Haddock was nice but portion of scampi were basic and were not enjoyed by someone who loves scampi. Portion of chips were a small, measly amount, especially as EVERY OTHER ESTABLISHMENT are always generous with their portions except this establishment. Not impressed but then. I was warned by someone who suggested I try Sea Pebbles in Hatch End as this person has been a customer for over 20 years but since trying Sea Pebbles he said the food is fresh and delicious in comparison to Ideal Fish Bar. He warned me that I would not be happy with my experience. He was correct in saying so. I wished I met this ex customer before placing my order as unfortunately I met him during my 15/20 minute wait for my order :-( Sea Pebbles it is! Never again with their miser mentality, shocking to say the least!

This place was incredible. The food was fresh. The chips tasted like chips and not everything else that had been cooked. The place is very clean, hygiene standards are brilliant. Had 2 meals and drinks for less than a tenner, and I can safely say I'm stuffed

Have been a customer for years but it seems that the management has changed ? Not the same slick, welcoming service. Fish overcooked, guess my quest has been restarted to find my “Ideal fish bar” again ….,

This is the best chip shop in Pinner. They have chicken nuggets made with real pieces of chicken. Their fish is tasty, and their chips are scrumptious. Portion sizes are generous, too. All served with a smile. Highly recommend buying your fish and chips here.

Brilliant fish and chips. For non fish eater go for chips. It is fresh cooked with hit of fish which is common to other chip shop. Service is great and menu reasonably priced. I drive long way just to havre chips.

I had the best fish and chips ever at this place! I even invited a friend to join me, and he loved it even more than I did. The portions were generous, and the fries tasted amazing. The cod was cooked to perfection, you know the food here is made with love. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Quality food and fantastic service. They have always fulfilled all my expectations and the value of price is great considering the portion they give you.

My daughter will not eat chips from anywhere else and I live in N14! So we go to Pinner park and will have the chips as well.

Response to the last review - any loyal customer of Ideal Fish Bar should know to expect long queues on Friday and Saturday ( as any successful fish and chip shop would ) Food here is outstanding and good things in life are worth waiting for.

ABYSMAL customer service, don't bother calling this place up they shall tell you to come and queue like everyone else as if you're some sort of impatient rebel to the fish and chip culture. I've lived in Pinner all my life and my family have used this fish and chip shop for years. I now know that you're better off going the extra 5 minutes to Sea Pebbles in Hatch End or to call up and get delivery from Ruislip /Ickenham.

Very good quality fish n chips, definitely worth the wait on a busy friday evening. Thanks for the extra crispy chips request as well. Top service 👍

Great fish and chips, really fresh.

My partner and I had quite a few fish and chips options to choose from on UE, but I'm really glad we picked this one because it was great. I thought "£13 for one cod - this is why I don't bother with chippies most of the time" but it was impressively big (we had to fold them in half to fit them on large plates) and good quality, the large portion of chips was lovely (tender flesh and not dry like some chippies) and comfortably fed both of us, and the sausage in batter was so tasty. The curry sauce was standard. Delivery took an hour but it was a Friday night, so that's to be expected, and it arrived hot. We'll definitely order from here again.

Nice chips great staff bit on the expensive side for a portion of chips in today's market and definitely portion sizes have reduced. Please also read your delivery notes

Best fish and chips shop ever! They fried the fish in separate oil for me to make it halal, super friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t recommend them more!

It was my mother in laws 90th birthday yesterday. We asked her what she wanted for a celebratory meal and she replied 'fish and chips'! The family came over and we ordered our lunch from Ideal Fish Bar in Pinner. The service was friendly, the food was terrific and this lovely old lady, who's lived in the same house in Pinner for almost 70 years, wore a beaming smile. Thanks to everyone at Ideal Fish bar for being an important part of Hilary's big day.

I've never had anything go wrong with this place. But today I ordered for pick up through Uber eats. Ordered about 4 45-5 o'clock for a 6 o'clock pick up. Once there took me half an hour to be seen and they let the driver behind me cut the queue and served him before me. Once it was my turn they said that they don't have my order and I have to reorder to get my food. Which would've been another half hour to an hour wait. They wouldn't make my food there and then even me showing I have paid for the food.

Beware the queues. It will always be the chippy i tell everyone to go too. Fresh chips, the fish perfect everytime. Great curry sauce. Great battered sausage.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Its the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and I compare all other fish and chips to theirs. It’s always busy with a queue. The batter is crispy and the chips are cooked to perfection. I love it!!

this restaurant has always been one of my top 3 fish and chip shops in that area, well worth a visit. friendly staff. fantastic food at a fair price. parking is ok out the front but can get busy. ignore the one star review that muppet left because they dared to take a holiday and close the restaurant for a few days. that is so petty.

Fish has the perfect texture and tastes great! the service is amazing and they are always polite, decent price as well, would definitely recommend coming here every friday.

Worth the wait. Great fish and chips. Good portion size, always fresh and dedicated staff.

Nice and freshly cooked. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. I would recommend.

Amazing cod and chips huge portions great quality

Best fish and chip shop Around Harrow, pinner , Eastcote and Ruislip Great value for money Exceptional food .

Very tasty fish n' chips. Generous portion. Fantastic staff.

Such good fish and chips!!! Owner was super friendly and efficient, affordable food and clean place

Good value fish and chips. Had to queue for quite a while which shows how popular it is.

My local fish and chip shop for years as one of the more common customers. Prices over food (fish especially) have increased over inflation yet it's definitely worth the wait/value. As of July 2021, their chips are made with a new potato, and I highly advise you to try them, even just for that. They a more fluffy (on the inside) and quite crispy on the outside. Their lunchtime special is served everyday and consists of small fish (2) and chips, definitely worth the value - lunchtime ques are very short. Price of haddock has remained higher (beyond August 2020) due to shorter supply (always) and expense. [Don't let inflation stop you from coming here!] Staff are always kind and welcoming, and quickly know you if your a local/common visitor. It's all part of the community.

I have finally got round to writing a review for this fabulous fish and chips shop, which I have visited for many years ! Located in the heart of Pinner, this venue is spotlessly clean. The welcome you get is first class - always friendly, courteous and professional - with a smile. The food tastes lovely - freshly prepared fish and chips as you wait. Their menu is extensive. For the quality and portions you are served, the prices are very reasonable. You can tell this place is popular by the queues you see outside and the familiarity of staff with customers inside. A big shout out to the brilliant team of Alex, Omar, Cemal and Anthony. This venue's COVID19 signage and protective measures are firmly in place - nevertheless, this team has bravely put themselves on the front line to serve the local community during this two year long pandemic. I strongly recommend a visit here.

It used to be a great fried fish eating place now they have eliminated the dine in facility as well as the large haddock size has been reduced and price increased too.

Lovely fish n chips. Been coming here for decades! Never fails to disappoint. The Friday wait time is well worth it, and to be expected! I can't recommend them enough 😁

Best fish & chips ever ,can't beat them and very reasonable priced

Always got the freshest chips. I reckon it's the best chip shop in this whole area. You should see the queue on Friday evenings!

Just want to say a massive thank you for the best haddock n chips...we usually cue up but decided to go for a deliveroo order instead this time which I wasnr too sure as I usually go to the shop n wait but hey all we can say is...wow n amazing!!¡! delivered crispy and fresh the chips were also amazing fresh clean to taste well done guys you definitely keep the top quality and standards on site or delivery. Thank you SO much for a fab meal 😋 😀

After spending 20 minutes waiting for the phone to be answered (re-dialling), met with a "can't take phone order , too busy, 10 people waiting come down and wait!" Gave up and went elsewhere (Fletchers).

Lovely food here, the lunch time special and in the evening too when i can come. Lovely staff and friendly too.

Best fish and chips in town!

Ideal Fish Bar is now my favourite place to go for Fish and Chips! Yesterday I had the lunchtime special which had a very generous portion size, the price was incredibly reasonable and both the fish and the chips were delicious. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! Thank you :)
