Ignore all the other chippies in the Wokingham Road and make for the Three Tuns crossroads - well worth the effort. If you need to be gluten free, they generally don't have the 'floured', processed chips favoured by most these days. I usually ring first to check as very occasionally they have to use a different supplier.

I've been in the UK for three months now and finally found a "chippie" that looked worthy of…read morevisiting. Located in the same shopping plaza as the Asda (reviewed separately), I was pleasantly greeted when I walked in. It only took me a moment to determine that the special was the "regular cod and chips" so I ordered that. There are separate prices for eat-in compared to take-away, which might be normal for Brits but is unusual for an American. Not a problem, I paid an extra £1. The fish was cooked to order and was brought to me at the table. Very hot, I had to wait a bit for it to cool. The batter was nice and crispy. Inside, the fish was light and flaky and very delicious with a few drops of the table vinegar. The chips ("fries" in American) were standard. Overall, a good experience. I'm glad I waited. I would return to this place!

A few hours later we all got really ill. I will never ever eat from there again, the management have no telephone manner.

I just visited Loch Fyne for the first time with a group of out-of-town colleagues who had all been…read morethere multiple times before (ironic given that I'm the only UK-based one!). The Reading location is pleasantly situated along the canal and has a warm, cosy feel to it. Although I wasn't able to sample most of the menu given my shellfish issues, the menu has a lot to offer for seafood die-hards. I ordered the poached smoked haddock with spinach, peas and mash in a grain mustard sauce. I wouldn't order it again, but that has more to do with me than the dish - I often find myself gravitating to a dish based on the sides rather than the main attraction. That strategy pays off a majority of the time, but even though I keep thinking I'll develop a taste for smoked fish, that penchant has yet to transpire. That said, my colleague who ordered the same dish loved it. And the spinach and grain mustard sauce were yummy (although I would have liked more of it)! Loch Fyne is a good option for chain restaurant-laden Reading. I wouldn't mind going back.

Asked for take-away and was told that there was only 1 option - fish and chips. I have to say, it…read morewas a good set of fish and chips but nothing astronomical. The battered haddock was decently fried but nothing special and the chips were... well chips. I was less than satisfied with the mashed peas. However, the reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the service while I was at Loch Fyne was fantastic. All of the staff were very courteous and the ambiance felt great. Next time, I will have a sit-down meal instead.

The fish was good, the chips weren't bad but just a bit soggy/not the style I like. Everything comes in a nice box that makes the take out very easy. Quite a few options for kids and the cod bites went over well with my five year old. The "bites" were really more good size strips.

Lovely chips, that don't taste of oil, and presented in a branded cardboard box (similar to a very…read moresmall pizza box). This is brilliant as you don't get your chips clumped together in a small paper bag. Battered sausages were nice, even if a little greasy. Maybe a bit pricey (large portion of chips is £2, jumbo battered sausage £1.75), however the shop itself was clean and well presented. Opening hours are very good for the area, as they are open all day (11.30am-10pm Mon-Sat) and they're even open on Sundays.

Best fish & chips around emmer green, caversham and maybe all of Reading (but I haven't been to…read morethem all yet). Average prices - very good quality food. Strangely though, the portion sizes are very hit & miss - sometimes you buy for one and have enough for at least two people, but sometimes you buy one to share and end up with a pair of rumbling tums. Beware! Friday evening you could be waiting half an hour as this place is popular!
