Caldmore Fish Bar

Food is usually nice however I think their hygiene standards have dropped from when the shop first opened. I bought 3 mini fish and chips and 2 portions of chicken and chips and when I opened my fish and chips I found 2 massive beard hairs on top of my food. On top of that I was the first in the queue and he said it would take 10 minutes to prepare my food but it took well over 20 and the guy was being rude to customers because he couldn't cope with the amount of people that was in the queue. I think they should wear hair nets on their heads and beards when preparing food which is standard food hygiene. I got nothing against beards I have a beard too but when preparing food for the general public you have to be considerate of your customers food not having your hair in there.

I had kebab meat from here on Saturday, by the following Tuesday, I was admitted into hospital with food poisoning due to me being type 1 diabetic, I have seen this place use the same meat pinchers for all their meats, need to have health and safety inspect your standards before your food kills someone!

Well priced, good portion sizes.Really tasty foodFried chicken is very good, crispy and flavourful. Hands down THE best chips around. Especially if Remi is there you are in for a treatStill good food and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit

This place should be named “ Extra Charge “ anything you ask they will reply it’s extra charge for that , Rude customer service always in rush don’t let order properly and most of the time they mess up the order. Work on your Staff tell them to be polite and control the spices burgers came overly spiced when asked for Little bit of Chili sauce most of the food ended up in the bin

The chicken wings here are atrocious, hard tiny wings with no crunch, if you want nice wings the opposite shops have nice wings. I’ve had the fish before this is nice but the wings taste like they were fried the day before and left.

This is the only chippy I use and have used since it opened. To be honest I don't know what's going on there lately, tonight I ordered steak and kidney pie, chips and mushy peas and as you will see from the photos the pie is mainly just pastry, very very little filling, chips portion was small and peas needed to go in the microwave when I got home as they were cold and I only live 5 minutes away, the cost £5.30, I even had to check the price as I was overcharged but in fairness it was rectified. Now for £5.40 I could've got 3 portions of chips, 3 pieces of chicken and 3 chicken niblets ( each advertised for £1.80 ). Whoever they get their pies from need to be told about lack of filling in them or find another supplier. I must say I'm very disappointed with the meal tonight.Update to this review!I went back and showed the photos and review I put and I was told the pie must have been overcooked and the filling spilled, obviously not the case, although I was offered another which I refused as I didn't find much filling in the first one. However to their credit I was there to purchase something else and was told there was no charge, so they rectified the situation. I will still continue to use this place because I still find it to be the best local chippy around caldmore.

Such a shame this place is hit and miss. I like the food there but some of the guys on the phone are just simply young and immature . I was on my way home from work passing through and wanted to order some food as I was starving. I called in and tried ordering from my work phone which is programmed as withheld and did not have my personal phone on me. The lad on the phone told me not call from private number and to call back without hiding my number because he told me that they get so many fake orders???? What on earth does that have to do with me and my order!! He hung up on my and I tried calling back multiple times but they just didn’t answer and now I am almost home, all that time wasted when they could have simply taken my order. So i got my personal phone and called from there and the chap who took my order was polite, helpful, no negative attitude. I have spoken to him many times and have respect for him and most of the guys there. Took my order, I collected, food was beautiful but the whole service could have been much better. Guys remember the 1st rule of business. Please do not upset your customers. I am an honest and paying customer and have always been ever since the start. I have restaurants and my customers always come 1st. Just a sad experience. If you don’t want people to call off withheld number you should state or advertise this somewhere! Hopefully they read this and learn from this experience.
