Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the crispy batter on the cod and haddock, making it a signature that delights the palate. The generous portions and variety in the menu cater to all tastes, ensuring satisfaction whether you opt for a classic fish and chips or a scrumptious burger. The friendly, approachable service consistently receives high praise, contributing to an enjoyable dining experience. Many appreciate the late-night food offerings that provide convenient dining options for those craving a tasty meal after hours.

Most Disliked
Some diners wish for faster service, particularly during peak hours like Tuesday evenings when the restaurant operates at full capacity. While most find the atmosphere cozy, a few have commented on a lack of seating during busy periods, leading to waits for tables. A handful of reviews mention that certain food items, such as kebabs, can be inconsistent in quality on busier nights. Additionally, non-seafood lovers looking for more diverse options may feel slightly limited by the focus on fish dishes, even though there are other offerings. Lastly, while the takeaway experience is generally great, there's occasional feedback regarding cold food upon delivery.

The only thing better than the food is the attitude of the people working here. Very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Had haddock and chips the first night and then went back the next night for cod and chips plus lamb chops. Delivery service made it very convenient. Their flyer has a place on my fridge door.

Taste is perfect, we tried their burger with chips, grilled and fried chicken with rice, everything was perfect and serving was huge we were not able to finish all, we went out so full! Service is also excellent, very friendly, approachable and order was served quickly. Will definitely comeback to Ace Plaice and recommend to friends.

Great fish and chip shop offering really tasty food with large portions - all for a great price 🙌🏼 Staff are really friendly and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. There is plenty of choice in terms of food from kebabs, fish and chips, pies, sausages and more. They also do orders for online delivery apps and take card payments! If you are in the area, I highly recommend 🙏🏼
