What User likes about The Marlin Fish:
I ordered the sheesh kebab with salad and pita, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the salad was served separately in a small dish, preventing it from getting soggy. The food was cooked to perfection, and I couldn't fault a thing. A well-deserved 5-star rating for this establishment! Keep up the good work! View all feedback. What John Alhelm doesn't like about The Marlin Fish:
The quality and quantity has completely gone downhill whilst the prices have gone up. Portion sizes are around half of what they use to be. Chips are now terrible, almost like they have reheated a batch, and mixed in with a fresh batch to bulk them out. Donner meat use to be the best in town, but now it’s mushy and full of gristle. Chicken kebab portion has now become so small you get more salad than meat with a horr... View all feedback.

Really nice food here. However the amount they now charge is crazy! £4 for small chip? £4 for Sausage? Absolutely mental.

This chippy is hit or miss. Sometimes the food is fresh, but they need to change the oil more often. The chips in general are always over cooked and too crispy,...

Horrible food. The chips were cold and tasteless, the cod was cold and covered in thick, soggy batter, and the battered sausage was terrible. I would recommend...

The food was delicious but I was surprised by the price hike. I understand inflation and all, but paying £4 for a beef and vegetable pie made my eyes water.

Good selection of food and drinks, with fantastic portion sizes. the fact that they deliver is a bonus. no complain here!

Very nice takeaway fish and chips and good portion size.
