Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The crispy batter on the fresh fish consistently garners rave reviews. Coupled with perfectly cooked chips, many patrons claim it's the best combo in Chester. Customers frequently mention the excellent value for money, especially with generous portion sizes offered in the kids’ menu and lunch specials. Those who enjoy variety appreciate the addition of Chinese dishes, such as chow mein and various mushroom-based options, broadening the menu appeal.
Another favorite among visitors is the friendly and helpful staff. Guests often highlight the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, who enhance the overall dining experience by being both attentive and efficient. The cleanliness of the venue also receives praise, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal without concerns.
Most Disliked
Some customers have expressed concern about the slightly higher prices compared to other local takeaway options. Although many agree that the food quality justifies the expense, it's worth noting for those watching their budgets. Additionally, the fact that only cash payments are accepted can be inconvenient for some, necessitating a visit to the nearest ATM at Morrisons.
The busiest dining times can also lead to long waiting periods, particularly on Sundays around dinner time. Those looking for a quicker meal may find it beneficial to visit during lunch hours or earlier in the evening when traffic is lighter. Overall, while these factors are somewhat troublesome for a few, they do not seem to overshadow the largely positive dining experience at Mill Lane Fish Bar.

Friendly, attractive staff. The small sausage and chips was good value and more than enough for me. As Arnie said, "I'll be back!".

Handy 'fish & chip' shop on Mill Lane, Chester. Located near the Countess of Chester Hospital, Premier Inn & Morrisons supermarket/Bache railway station. Small car park opposite. Good range of traditional foods and Chinese menu option too. We shared a large fish & chips - beautiful light crispy batter on fish, accompanied by fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside chips. Kids had a burger meal and fish bites & chips (a decent amount of fish for the price). Delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Prices are slightly above average for the area, but great service received. Point to note that transactions are cash only (nearest cash point prob at Morrisons).

The best chippy in Chester by miles , the chips are always the right size and cooked perfectly. The fish isn't greasy just the right crisp and the fish is fresh and perfectly flaky. I wouldn't bother going anywhere else. The other chippy up the road counts the chips they put in your box.
