The Friendly Place - North Warwickshire

My wife and I used to order here a year or so ago at least twice a month until we moved away and usually found food enjoyable. However, on a recent solo visit to town, I found the food disappointing. Fish was rather dry and not flakey at all. Chips had a raw potato flavour even though they appeared cooked. Just not a good experience..

I've been going here for near on 8 years, so class myself a regular. The newly rebuilt shop now seems to have new owners and so not known them for long, however on the THIRD occasion since the new shop opened I found my order was wrong. Never used to happen. This time I was £7 out of pocket; the bill being wrong (charged for items I did not order) and missing items on the order. When I asked next time I went in (I go every week) they point blank refused to correct the problem. Quite rude and they made it out to be MY fault!! Really! Hardly a Friendly Plaice any more... So if you do go there, then check everything very very carefully, both your order AND your bill. I have since found 2 good chip shops are available very close by in the area who are cheaper, better quality, easier parking and genuinely friendly. I would highly recommend checking them out.

I ordered over the phone and was able to pick up my food 15 minutes later. It was hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had. The haddock was huge and cooked perfectly crispy, just how we like it. I highly recommend The Friendly Plaice, they are the best. Thank you for a delicious meal!

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The fish I ordered cost £5.50, but the batter fell off because it had been recooked, making it extremely greasy. I had to leave it on a kitchen towel before it could even be plated. The chips were soggy and not cooked properly. Overall, it was a big letdown and I will not be returning to this chip shop.

I used to visit this fish and chip shop when it was owned by my grandparents. The current owners have completely renovated it, but it still holds a special place in my heart due to the memories of helping and eating there with my family. The food is fantastic, with a light and crispy batter, a large fish, and just the right amount of chips in a cone portion. I alternate between this shop and The Batter of Bosworth, as I can't pick a favorite - I am a true fish and chip fan. Keep up the good work, I'll be back soon for my fix. Thank you.
