The Old Temp Fish Bar

Nice chips , good portions. Fish is excellent the gravy and curry sauce were fairly standard as was the sausages. The staff are efficient and friendly. Service was good even though it was getting near closing time. Will definitely be going back.

Tried here for holiday meal one evening recently. Fish fried to order so there was a little wait, but meant it was freshly cooked. Prices were a little cheaper than my local back home, and tasted very similar. Portions good size too.

Terrible food. The chips tasted of chip oil and was cold, the fish wasn't cooked properly and if that wasn't bad enough, the owner has a right attitude. There are other fish & chips shops much nicer than this place and you get a better service to. Wouldn't recommend this place to eat to anyone.

Really dissappointed with the fish & chips served at this place. Friendly service but the chips were covered in patches, of what I think was old cooking fat, I'd never seen chips like it, served up with lots of bits from the fish batter. The fish was over cooked and the women gave me a pile of 7 pieces of cod when I only ordered 4 fish bites for one of us as 2 of us don't eat seafood. I think the pile up of cod must have been the guilt of serving such poor quality food. I was charged £18 for 3 medium chips, 4 fish bites and 3 cans. We had a few mouthfuls and had to bin it. Definitely won't be going back anytime soon.

Always a warm welcome. Fast and friendly service. Fish is one of the best I have tasted the chips are so addictive always very busy but still fast service. One treat I look forward to.

My wife and I - on our way home back to Luton - happened to stumble across this fish and chips shop while driving around and got hungry. Here’s how our experience went:

1. Car parking may be an issue depending on the time of day. As it was a Monday afternoon when I went in, I didn’t have issues with finding parking, but peak times may cause you issues.

2. Unfortunately there was no eating in, at the time of this writing. It wasn’t an issue to us though, as we are flexible with our eating situation. If you must eat inside, please call to check.

3. The menu has a fair amount of items, but I only remember seeing 1 entry for “Fish”. Didn’t really state what kind of fish it was (most probably cod, from its taste), just know it was a large fish. Again, not an issue to me, but may be an issue to you. The fair other items may be a plus though, as it can offer a lot more than just fish and chips, so would be a better people pleaser.

4. The staff were friendly while I was ordering. The lady even helped to advise me on the cheesecake selections which was nice. I ordered 2x Large Fish and Chips, a Fishcake, 2x Cheesecake desserts and 2x drinks, which totalled ~£25 for me and my wife. I think this is fair, considering we’re eating out.

5. The wait was a little while (25mins due to it being off peak and the fish being cooked fresh). We didn’t mind as we had ample time to kill as we weren’t looking forward to a 4 hour drive home.

6. The food: The chips were beautifully crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They tasted fresh.
The fish tasted very fresh and the coating tasted airy and very pleasant. I would’ve liked the fish to have been a little more salted, but it was all good as I didn’t notice when eating the fish with the chips - there was plenty of salt and vinegar on them, which is always a plus for me!

I had a lovely experience and would highly recommend this place!

Very good fish, lovely chips. Really friendly and dedicated team. A slice of lemon and good tartare sauce for the fish would improve my rating, otherwise excellent!

Visited this fish bar a good few rimes now and never been disappointed. What lovely food and staff,always a friendly welcome, fresh cooked food , what more do you need
