St Paul's Fish Bar

So I went into the St Pauls fish bar as I do quite often, however today it was going to be a whole different experience. I stood staring at the board having no idea what I wanted to eat, all I knew was that I was hungry! At the shop there is a product called southern fried chicken which I will confess Is probably my favourite thing that they do even with them being a fish and chip shop. I asked if they had any chicken and Sam the owner replied yes they did. My next question was could you possibly put that into a burger bun and add some onion rings? "Sure no problem" replied Sam. A few minutes went by and the girl behind the counter asked me what I wanted inside my burger, feeling a bit sheepish I just said whatever you think would be best. I was recommended the works with chillie sauce and garlic mayo so I stuck with the mayo. Before the burger was put into the box and wrapped up for me to take away with me, I glanced and saw these delectable slightly golden pieces of chicken being gently coated in mayo as he pushed the top of the bun down to be able to get it to fit inside the box. Somehow there was 2 pieces of chicken that wouldn't fit in the burger and they were put in a bag separately and off I went. I only live a few minutes from the shop so I opened the bag with the separate chicken and took a bit out and popped it in my mouth. You know that weird little head bobble you do when food is too hot? I was doing that, meanwhile I was also salivating from how tender and juicy the chicken was. Alongside a beautiful crispy batter on the exterior I knew I was in for an absolute treat. I got home opened the door and proudly sat on the couch as if I were a king waiting to be inaugurated. What happened next was a texture and flavour delight! The fresh and crisp lettuce with cool mayo and still slightly to hot chicken did not stop me from demolishing the entire thing in 6 bites. The onion rings providing a little bit of a different crunch to the bite and making the burger almost to big to fit into my mouth was a great touch. Not much else to say apart from that it was the best burger I have had in my life!! Love the food and staff they have in their.

Very good food evry time I go end eat there

Lovely chippy lovely people! The chips were gorgeous and service was quick. The shop was lovely and clean and felt warm and welcoming. As a veggie I’m often left disappointed with the options for me at chip shops, but the battered halloumi here was unreal and left me feeling completely satisfied and without the usual sense that I’m missing out. The price was excellent too, most places I’ve seen charge upward of £6 for a few bits of battered halloumi, but I thought £4.50 here was really reasonable, especially for the portion size. Definitely planning on visiting regularly!

In the words of my boys, best chicken burgers around 😋 o and banging southern fried chicken 🍗🍗 and great service with a smile 😃

Friendly service but food firmly average!
