Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The Jolly Friar impresses many with its perfectly cooked fish—especially the cod and haddock, which are popular choices. Diners rave about the chips, often described as the best they’ve had, known for being flavorsome and crisp without the greasiness. The variety offered is also a hit, from burgers to pies, boasting nearly 40 menu items. Customers enjoy the friendly service, and the clean, tidy environment contributes to the overall experience. The option to order for pickup adds convenience, particularly for busy work lunches.
Most Disliked
Some visitors mention that during peak hours, the wait time can increase, especially for delivery orders. A few customers wish for additional vegetarian options beyond the veggie burger, feeling a bit more variety would enhance the menu. While the seating is accessible, it can fill up quickly during busy times, potentially leading to a wait for dine-in customers. A couple of reviews have noted that the prices, while reasonable for the quality, can be higher than your average chippy, especially for larger families.

Easily the best Fish and Chips shop in town. The shop is always spotless, the staff are polite and most importantly, the Fish and Chips are always amazing! Definitely recommend!

Excellent quality we stayed locally for a week. Ended up visiting twice. Fish and chips first. Followed by chicken and chips. Superb chips. Great portion size. Fish was excellent with crispy batter. Chicken was freshly cooked and lovely and tender. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Good service, very organised. Lots to choose from. Fish is always delicious and perfectly cooked. Their chips are my favourite from all local chippies, flavoursome, not greasy and cooked just right. We visit as a treat every 4 to 6 weeks and we have always had a positive experience never a negative one. (Even have a chippy lunch at work a couple of times a year, ring the order through, ready to pick up at the agreed time and always well received by everyone)

Neighbour informed me that this was the best chippy in Trowbridge. Phoned order through to collect in 20 minutes. Both staff were friendly and jovial and I collected two regular cod, one haddock and large chips. Had meal on patio with my daughter and husband together with some beverage! All battered fish was amazing and regular size was more than sufficient, no-one could have eaten a large fish which I am guessing would be sufficient for sharing! Will definitely be returning. Thank you guys, keep up the good work, John

We go here for our takeaway treat every now and then. Whilst the food is good, these past two visits the later being tonight the food has been fantastic, the fish and chips have been so tasty, maybe they are cooking with a new type of oil perhaps but food tastes delicious.
