Fish King - Newark and Sherwood

Fish n chips to take away. I've been going to this chipper for years now, through three different owners. Following a shaky start just after the current owners had taken over after a 3month shutdown for refurbishment the standard of the fish n chips is back up to excellent again. I have plaice, chips and mushy peas most weeks and haven't been disappointed since they've found their mojo again. I recommend the food and the friendly service.

Ordered 2 chicken kebabs. Meat was not sliced to order, instead taken from a container on the side. It was cold and dry as anything. One kebab had mixed salad in it and sauce, the other one just a bit of ropey lettuce and hardly any sauce. Strange that they were so different considering we ordered 2 of the same! Such a shame as the kebabs there used to be so nice. Won't be returning.

Got home from holiday on a Monday. Didn 't want to cook so went to Fish King for a takeaway. The Monday night special is a small fish and chips for £5.00, so we had one each. Firstly, it 's not a small fish and chips, rather a very good portion for the price. The fish was nicely cooked and the meal was piping hot. What more could you want???

I ordered a pineapple fritter and mushy peas, but what I received was not at all what I expected. The pineapple fritter was not a potato fritter, and the peas looked strange, like they were from another planet. I am extremely disappointed with this experience, especially since we live in a rural area and my husband went out of his way to pick up dinner for me.

We don't typically eat fish and chips, but Fish King has always been our favorite place to get it. We stopped by on our way home from vacation last Thursday when we were hungry. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The fish and chips were lukewarm and dry. It seemed like the food had been sitting out for a while since there was no one else waiting. The mushy peas were an strange green color, watery, and not appetizing. We won't be returning to Fish King.
