The Frying Machine — Local services in Broadland

In the past I've driven past this chip shop and it was always looking busy, and quite often queued out if the door,just recently you never see the queues, and after trying it this Fri tea time I can see why, 2 medium middle cod and a large chips £19.70, as a previous review has written the large menu behind the counter which should be in full view to pick and price from has been left blank and replaced by some A4 menu sheets close to the serving tills, what a stroke !!! Now the food... Huh, in general conversation people recommend places and I've always heard good vibes about this place, but I think I can honestly say this is the worst fish & chips I've ever had,so greasy the fish wouldn't even come out of the paper, it had to be scraped of the paper and full of bones, which is very dangerous, but the chips were acceptable, Now for the customer service, this sour faced woman who I got served by,she shouldn't even be serving food in a prison, she obviously thought I had to bring my custom to this shop, but I'll tell ya something I didn't, it was the past recommendations why I tried, but never again, and in my work I speak to a lot of local people and in the whole city too. This chippy will never get recommended by me and I hope the word gets around about my review, this is probably the reason there's no...

i cannot explain my disappointment, i visited the frying machine last week and i honestly couldn't believe the rapid decline this business has faced, to start of with, the blonde lady had a very uninviting personality, she made me feel like i was a burden and honestly quite upset me. secondly, the menu, the prices have increased , i get that inflation has risen prices alot but with that much of a dramatic change i think the prices should be more clearly displayed on the menus. lastly and most importantly, i think it is a huge safety hazard to be having literally prices of bone in the fish, i was ready to give this the benefit of the doubt due the fact mistakes happen but after reading some previous reviews i have discovered this is a common occurrence, i cannot explain the shock and horror i went through when i was cutting up a piece of fish for my 3 year old son and i discovered a bone. my child's safety is my number one priority and experiencing this has me absolutely livid as a child's airway can be so easily blocked by even the tiniest of things. will not be visiting this...

Over priced. Undercooked chips. Did I mention overpriced?

Over hyped. Save your cash and go else where and get a real portion of chips for your money, and don't pay over the odds for fish, sausages, sauce, peas and sauce.

Once, long ago, they were the ONLY place that I would go to. Now, they are in such a rush to serve the customers that they don't even cook the food and you get home and eat half raw chips. I could cook better myself sometimes with Tesco Value Chips..... They really are that bad sometimes, but then sometimes they really are delicious. The trouble is that you can't rely on them, at all. There's no consistency there, and you're guaranteed to pay 25% more than any other fish and chip shop in Norwich for the pleasure of half cooked chips 50% of the time.

I would recommend Ken's in Wroxham, Golden Plaice on Wroxham Road or Eric's Fish and Chips in Thornam if you fancy a fine dining mix fish and chips experience, even though it's a drive, it's the best fish and chips that you...
