Merchants Fish - Wyre Forest

Regular customers, food always excellent, staff always friendly. You get what you pay.

On holiday in the area, we’d seen the food looked good here so decided to have a take-away tea. As we entered the chippy, people were stood front and back, so we enquired if they’d been served, and we were told “yes” so we stood in front of the till/order point. The young server was fulfilling orders so we waited to be served. After 5 minutes when he clearly wasn’t readying food we wondered what was happening as he just ignored us. After a few more minutes he came to the till right in front of us, shouted “who’s next?” to our bemusement. After we politely said we were, he took our order without any greeting or thank you. 2 people behind us just walked out as he worked at a snails pace to take more orders. Same thing happened when our food was ready, he simply handed the bag to us with no acknowledgement or thank you. I don’t expect to be thanked profusely for spending £30 in a chippy, simple good manners will suffice, but that’s clearly too much trouble for the Merchant. PS …. the fish n chips were tasty.

Had gluten free fish and chips today….. best fish and chips I’ve ever had only had to wait a couple of minutes for it to be cooked fresh…. amazing

Very fair prices and portion sizes. Great seats outside by the River

Not good the female staff member serving kept playing with her hair and touching her face. A big no no when serving food, very off putting. The fish and chips were mediocre. I agree with a previous comment standards have definitely declined. I won't be going back.
