Most Disliked
Some reviewers expressed concerns about wait times during peak hours, particularly on Fridays when the shop is bustling with activity. Calling ahead can sometimes save time, but on busy nights, patience is key.
A few patrons found the selection of side dishes to be less extensive compared to other fish and chip shops. Some wished for more variety, especially with non-fish options, despite the commendable vegetarian offerings.
Additionally, while the casual vibe is generally appreciated, those looking for a more upscale dining experience may find Stow Fish Bar lacking in ambiance.

My favourite chippy in the area. They cater for vegetarians if you ask - which I hugely appreciate, as that is a rarity around here. Their chips are great, and I love their veggie burger and their spring rolls. Proper comfort grub. Staff always cheerful and helpful.

Excellent chippy. The cod was crispy and meaty, the chips excellently cooked in beef dripping, and the plaice deliciously crispy and flaky. The mushy peas well-seasoned. And not dear. Friendly service with a smile. Good battered sausage too. Top class chippy!
