Buckles Fish Shop - Wiltshire

Frozen chips in a chip shop is an absolute no from me. The young lass cooking the fish kept taking it out of the fryer every two minutes and prodding it to see if it was crispy or not. One of the worst meals I’ve had and not very cheap

I am disappointed with the recent experience at Buckles. Despite giving them a 5-star rating and positive feedback in the past, I found the food to be subpar during my visit today. The cod did not taste like cod and the chips seemed to be frozen. I can only give them 1 star for my experience today.

Honestly the worst chippy I 've ever had.. no salt and vinegar on the order as requested on the phone.. the chips..awful . Frozen not chippy chips at all, the fish was pretty mehhh too. Wouldn 't recommend.

We fancied fish and chips as we were passing through Chippenham. Stopped here lots of parking outside. A little surprised there wasn't a queue. In hindsight this was probably an indication of how popular this establishment is. Our order was taken quickly £20.20 for large cod and regular chips twice. The food is cooked to order so during the wait I had the chance to look a little closer. The seating and waiting area really needed a deep clean. Dust hanging out of the bottom of the radiator. Loads of cobwebs on the ceiling. Floor and skirting boards all needed a good scrub. No other customers came in while we were waiting. The food was pretty bad. The chips were frozen and had that awful dry texture, just like like oven chips. The fish was equally bad, a moment away from being undercooked and had a soggy blanket like batter coating. Both the chips and the fish had a horrible after taste, presumably from the oil used for frying. I really wanted proper fish and chips and was disappointed on every level with what we we paid for here. Most of it went in the bin!

Just a wonderful treat for fish and chips or chicken and chips, with professional and friendly staff, brilliant!
