Golden Galleon - Suffolk Coastal

After being disappointed by previous visits to their other location and reading negative reviews, we were hesitant to try The Golden Galleon. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find no queue and an empty restaurant at 12:30pm on a Friday. The young lady at the counter was friendly and quickly took our order. The chips were fresh and crispy, topped with the scraps we requested. The Haddock was delicious, with crispy batter cooked in traditional Beef Dripping. If you're a vegan, vegetarian, gluten intolerant, or picky about fishbones, this may not be the place for you. But if you appreciate traditional fish and chips, The Golden Galleon is a must-try. Well done, keep up the good work!

I visited this restaurant because of its reputation, but was greatly disappointed. The chips were tiny and the fish seemed too small to be cod. I will not be returning.

The chips were fantastic, but unfortunately, both the haddock and cod had a soft and non-crispy batter. This was a big disappointment for a fish and chip restaurant! I'm not sure how they can serve fish with that kind of batter.

Before visiting Suffolk recently, a friend living near us in France recommended this fish and chip shop, so we travelled over 50 miles to it. We think they depend on their recommendations because what we had was the worst fish and chip meal we had eaten in many years. One third of the chips were scraps, something most shops sell separately, and my fish had a longish inedible tail without any fish meat on it. The batter in places was soggy, so over half of the meal was dumped. We wish that we hadn't bothered to travel so far to buy a rubbish meal. We had another fish and chips at a further away place and this meal was far far superior, and cheaper.

It was a lovely sunny day so what better than getting 2 takeaway cod and chips to sit and eat on the beach front but sadly that's as far as our enjoyment went! The fish looked like it was double battered like cardboard but full of grease! What has gone wrong? We only ate the fish but left all the batter. The chips were passable. Considering the fish and chips were apparently straight out of the fryer they certainly weren't piping hot either....bitterly disappointed.
