Palmers Fish & Chips in South Somerset

we use to love coming here for the quality food and friendly service but sadly those two things are vert hit & miss these days. well a lot more miss :(

First class serice freedly staff and food to the normal hight standard

A modern, yet classy chippy experience? I ask/say this as an American... it seemed to be both a taste of old school fish n chips spot, yet modern fusion eatery. It had 2 sides, restaurant and then take away. The food comes from both, it's just your option. Pulling in for our decided take away, we worried about the wait, line was out the door with hungry ppl, but it wasn't too terrible, maybe 15 mins? Granted it seems we just happened to be on a moment that chips ran out and all made fresh. Service was relatively friendly and quick, serving portions were large, prices good for such. I got the haddock fish, but ended up trying the cod as well. Also mozzarella sticks with bbq. The chips were amazing, the classic sort I'm told, very 'moreish' and the serving was a mountain of them. At the counter there was salt and vinegar going and people shaking them in bags. Very cool, would eat here again. Only gave a 4 because unless I'm wrong, the same menu is for both sides and to sit down and get the same options seems a little lazy, but then again, I'll change that rating if I go back and am wrong. :)

A little greasy, but very tasty 😋 Quick service, friendly staff

Always great food here. Staff always polite.

Couldn't fault our dining experience in the restaurant at Palmers. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. Good portions and the cod and chips were very tasty; chips were cooked to perfection.

First time we’ve used this place’ excellent fish was lovely as were the chips’ nice lady who served us, will definitely use again, Top notch.

The prices have gone up which everybody expects but the portion size is like a kiddies meal now

We called to treat ourselves to a chip supper. It’s the only time I have had dinner and said I could eat that again. The large chip portion is the same size as the regular and the sausages have shrunk by 50% since the last visit. All told don’t bother if you’re hungry .!!!!-

We got takeaway fish and chips and it was delicious. The chips were really crispy and tasty unlike a lot of chip shops where they're soggy. Loved it.

Fish & chip shop with restaurant. All ways clean and tidy. Can be a bit tight on the chips sometimes.

Lovely takeaway and it does have a seated restaurant area...but the thats a bit more pricey then the takeaway....shame there's no outside seating

So efficient and lovely cod, with wonderful chips.

Best chios ive ever had in my life

Called in on the way home from a long trip, good quick service by friendly staff, both had fish and chips and mush peas served quickly by friendly staff, smashing fish and chips, will definitely go again, bright clean building showing off their fish products at their best , call in you won't be disappointed

Always great food the fish amazing and the staff are so friendly and helpful

My family and myself are originally from Grimsby, so we know our fish and chips. We had a lovely meal here, the staff are very friendly and helpful, taking a lovely group photo for us. Quick and efficient service, great value for money. Thank you once again.

This used to be a happy place to visit but staff don't care like they used too. Chips come out warm sometimes and have to send them back. Why send them out in the first place. Many times fish is not fully coated and end up with hard dried fish in places. Chicken breast is the best as not fried. Side salad instead of chips would be lovely option for children especially. Staff don't smile anymore or say thank you or enjoy, just what would you like. The more mature gentleman who serves in the restaurant is the only one who you see happy and enjoying his job. Some staff don't know how to print receipts so write it on scrap paper. Manager also didn't know how too. Just told waitress just write It out then, what do you want me to do. It seems like it's about the money and not customer anymore. Used to go a minimum 2 times a week but now once a month at most. Hit and miss. The town centre location was 100 percent better as they took pride and you could see they enjoyed serving customers. Sad it closed.

Absolutely Disgusting, haven’t been for months which was Bad last time , But it has to be the worst fish & chips in the south of England

I came into palmers at 8.58 yesterday evening, shuts at 9.30 5 of us wanted a take away fish and chips our orders were taken With l serious attitude and we were refused a lot of things saying they had run out. we were refused kids fish and chips refused battered sausage half a chicken, chicken breast, then we ordered mushy peas, curry sauce which we were then refused, a cook came to give us a refund who had a worse attitude than even the person on the till my wife and In-laws were in shock of the attitude we received the staff acted like they wanted to be anywhere but there . We completely felt like we were an inconvenience , this is a real shame beacuse the food was decent, and when we have sat in the restaurant on numerous occasions before we recieved great food and service.

Used palmers for years but this was a disappointment, grey fish greasy batter and soggy inside , it was comparable to other poor fish and chips .. gone down hill

Service is top notch! Wonderful waiting serving staff in the restaurant. Gurt portions !

Just moved to yeovil and great to find a good chippy! Reasonably priced, friendly service. Nice and busy in the restaurant and takeout which is a good sign too! Great curry sauce!

The first time we moved down to yeovil we had fish and chips from here as one of the local chippy went down hill the chips are to die for and the fish is amazing the curry sauce is brilliant the staff are amazing very quick it can get quite busy at the weekends so pays to get there a bit earlier

Has to be the best chips in the town. I had chicken and chips and it was beautiful.

Picked up 81 meals for a local quiz. On time and delicious.Who else could have managed this quantity? I did pre-order first!!

Shame that the other branch closed, the portion sizes here are stingy. For some reason they don't sell jumbo sausages, and you have to add your own salt and vinegar. Quality is good though.

Pretty terrible to be honest. Chips where OK but fish was dreadful. Tiny portion and had been sat around for ages. It was dripping in fat and batter was soft. I could ring fat out of it which actually turned the misses stomach. Binned the lot, £20 wasted and had to go back out and buy tea elsewhere.

My first time at Palmer's restaurant. Extremely efficient service. The food was awesome.,cooked amazingly not greasy in any way. The curry sauce was the best I've had. Cleanest toilets I've ever seen

Fantastic fish and chips, always good.

What can we say? We have been going here for many years as a couple or with family and the standard of the food is excellent served up by super, friendly staff in surroundings that are kept as clean as one could possibly imagine. All of this is certainly worthy of a five star rating BUT we have never yet been successful in finding a table free from cold draughts which appear to be coming from what looks like massive air conditioning units mounted on the ceiling. These ‘things’ not only force customers to wrap up well while dining but also to try to enjoy the wonderful fare which has gone cold half way through the meal. Please try to do something about this problem - not just ignore the review.

The food was great , the service excellent and the restaurant was spotless as always.

Staff were friendly and accommodating and both fish and chips were cooked brilliantly and well flavoured. Would eat here again and very happy to recommend.

I am well travelled around the UK and fish and chips is my chosen staple. Palmers are in my top 5 of places to eat from the way the staff have a look of appreciation that you are there, smiling staff are very important they made being served a pleasure as I find going into busy places difficult. I felt very welcome. The chips as well as the Fish were cooked to a crunchy delicious mouth watering taste and my Springer Spaniel enjoyed his sausage. See you all again.

On two recent visits to the restaurant we have found the cod either heated up or over cooked and on the most recent visit the chips also had lots of small hard bits, maybe the last ones in the scoop. Is there a new person cooking or have we been unlucky as certainly not up to the usual high standard. Don't take the public for granted and get back to the usual quality

Good grub and although very busy the service was superb.

Had a takeout as late home from work. Excellent Fish and Chips a Chicken and Chips. Fish Cakes ain't bad either. Would always recommend it.

We stayed and ate in the restaurant and ordered the Seniors meal as very hearty and really enjoyed it

We go here for a treat & sit in. Now we don’t mind paying £15.50 (to sit in) instead of £8.50 (takeaway) for a Haddock as it’s always been the best Haddock around but this visit we were bitterly disappointed as the haddock had shrunk to half the size in fact it was smaller than the cod! I asked if it was indeed haddock & was told yes but it was just smaller now. Gone was a lovely chunky meaty haddock to be replaced by something that was more like a wishy washy pollock.

Popped in for a fish and chips lunch after seeing a film screening at Westlands. Very quick service and good value for money.

Deciding to eat in was probably my mistake! £4.80 for a portion of chips! £2.80 for a glass of Coke.. Admittedly I should’ve looked at the prices before ordering but I do use other Fish and Chip shops and their prices are far more reasonable. The food was good but way too expensive!

Absolutely fantastic meal washed down with an IPA. Just wish I had taken a picture.

Changed the seating in the restaurant now you can hardly move in there, people you don't know having to share tables,, we won't be coming back .hate the changes not good, craming as many tables in so you can make more profit but you have just lost 5 regulars. Well done 👏

Great place for sit down fish and chips. Tasty and reasonable price

Crisp, fresh, tasty, fast, not greasy: always a pleasure. I try to go to Palmer's whenever I go to Yeovil.

Wednesday, drove miles into town & its closed 7.30!!!!!!pm very disappointed especially as i checked you were open

Too expensive fish/chips not that good try polats chippy in coronation avenue really nice bargain

Clean and tidy very friendly staff

Palmers do a really good breakfast

Opening hours wrong. Not hard to update them

Great chicken nuggets and chips. 👋😊

Normally I’m really pleased with the food. However tonight my chicken was barely even cooked ! Someone please tell me how this is ok?!

Lovely chips, battered sausage. Quick service and hot.

No Savaloy, overpriced, under portioned, do your own salt and vinger. It's a commercial fish and chip shop. Not a proper fish and chip shop

Always come for breakfast. Cooked to perfection and really good deals 2 for 1. Most definitely recommend.

Lovely food but chip portion size has gotten smaller and smaller for the takeaway side of this shop. Me and my partner are not huge eaters but you need a large portion each to be enough chips

Best fish n chips efficiently served 😋

Expensive, Fish still had oil in the Batter

Called in to market st, shop. Fish and chips cooked fresh as you wait. 👍

Delicious fish and chips good size portions and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Very expensive and cold. £9 difference between eat in and takeaway.

Popped in for sausage and chips sausages were OK not the best Chips were disgusting black bits everywhere dry little bits that had been left in the chipper very very poor

Lovely fish and chip very clean and tidy would recommend a visit

Disappointed today my partners poached eggs were both hard! I had a midi breakfast and my eggs were over cooked and hard.

Incredibly fast and efficient service and great fish and chips. I have driven past this place so many times and thought it was a fancy looking fish and chip shop but only just tried it. VERY impressed!!!

the fish has shrunk beyond belief the batter was very dark brown & very greasy we have been on every visit to the area since it opened - unlikely to return to this branch

Don't let long queues put you off, they soon go down!

Best chips around. Bought fish cakes and chips. Tasty fish cakes too. Excellent quality of food, service and value. Would recommend.

Stopped in for lunch today great staff cod and chips was perfect very clean toilets and restaurant aswell 👌

The service is always good. The bread rolls are a bit hard and curry sauce could be better. Fish was delicious.

Great takeaway nice food and fast.only thing chip portions sometimes a bit small portions and you don't always get everything you ask for

Always a good plate of fish and chips !

Food here is consistently excellent. We love it!

Used to be amazing but I feel the quality has dipped over the past few years (esp the chips)

Very good fish and chips will be back

I’ve just been to get fish and chips and was shocked at the tiny piece of cod when I questioned it she said it went by weight so I would like to know what weight should it be?

Best fish and chips in the South West, always spot on and staff are friendly and affiant .

We had takeaway fish and chips and mushy peas and scampi Fish, scampi and peas very nice. Chips not quite up to their usual deliciousness !

Had the full breakfast very nice and good price 👌

Simply the best fish and chip restaurant around. Great quality, great food in a lovely environment.

Great sized portions for very reasonable prices. Lovely staff, short wait times also

The best fish and chips in the area. No debate. 👍

Couldn't believe this "chippy"? So good. My first visit but I will be back.

Always good food. Great service

I've lived 30 miles away from Palmers most of my life and have always heard how good Palmer's F&C are. Recently I ate in, fish, chips, and peas. I must say I've missed out all these years, if your passing have some,

Excellent quality and price is reasonable. Food is always served within 10 mins of drinks being brought to table which helps when your super hungry! Always friendly service from the team! Only thing to niggle at is where is the battered onion rings, mushrooms or curry sauce which is a staple with any Fish and Chip shop?

Stunning place. Definitely a must see for all the tourists in Yeovil. Edit: got food poisoning

This was our first visit to Palmer's and overall I would say that it was nice. It's no frills, there is nothing high quality about the food. The service was great though, the staff were friendly.

Generous portions and very tasty.

Excellent service as always and very good fish and chips so so fresh would recommend going when they open as you know then its cooked to order .

Great fish and chips. Friendly staff.

I enjoy the food here and travel a long way to get my fish and chips here. Friendly cheerful staff. Great food

We got our food within 1 minute of ordering, best fish and chips in town!

Great service can recommend thanks

Best fish and chip ! My family love it when I get them all some

It will do the job pricy for the portion size and quality if your used to going grass royal or polats I'd keep going there

A super friendly place with a large parking area and a spacious area to sit and dine. Very fresh cod, batter a tint bit dark for my liking and fruity nice curry sauce. Lots of drinks even milkshakes. I had an ice cold ginger beer. Will revisit asap

Took my granddaughter here and ate in the restaurant, very good food

Lovelly food good service u can dine in but I'm not a fan of the decor tbh but they do a great cod n chips

We have had regular fish & chips from Palmers for a few years now and generally they are not too bad, sometimes a bit hit & miss with the fish being too dry or the chips being overcooked, but overall they seem to be the best you can get in Yeovil. However on Friday (national fish and chips day) they excelled themselves, both the fish and the chips were delicious!!!! worthy of a review and 5 stars!! if they keep the standard they served on Friday up then I would highly recommend.
