Reviews Overview
Most Liked
People love the incredible value for money, especially during lunch hours when the specials hit the spot. The chicken burger, often hailed as one of the best around, leaves guests raving about its size and flavor. Patrons frequently mention the fast and friendly service, enhancing the overall experience. Additionally, the use of grease-proof paper atop the chips garners praise, ensuring that the dish stays crispy and enjoyable. The extensive menu, which includes not just fish but also a variety of burgers, desserts, and sparkling drinks, appeals to a wide range of tastes.
Most Disliked
While most reviews are positive, a few customers noted that during busy times, the fish may arrive a bit greasier than expected. Some patrons preferred a more consistent preparation, especially on hectic days. Occasionally, the portion sizes can feel overwhelming for those with smaller appetites, prompting certain diners to suggest more options on the smaller side. Lastly, though the time to wait for food is generally short, peak hours sometimes lead to a bit of a delay, which could test the patience of the hungriest customers.

Great Food as expected from an award winning takeaway restaurant. When busy the fish could end up getting served quickly and be a lot greasier than other times. Portions are huge (for me) so single fish often comes with a few chips which is a nice touch and often enough! Best fish & chips in town non the less and worth the slightly higher price than others in the area!

I got the single fish instead as I can't handle big portion. Both the food and service were excellent. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

Very good fish and chips. The introduction of a grease proof sheet of paper atop the chips on which the fish is placed has made all the difference. Was a really tasty meal ... for two of us. Recommend. Very busy which is always a good sign for a chippy (and it does way more than chips). And a great social venue as well as you get to catch up with half the country!

Had some fish and chips here last night while staying in Broughshane. Can see why it won an award. Fish/Chips/mushy peas and the scampi were all cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend this shop👍

I have enjoyed my fish and onions rings from The Merchant for a few years now. Its the best I've ever had. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is spotless clean. I don't eat takeaway often, but I'll always chose The Merchant.

Great fish and chips. Very friendly staff and helpful. The portions are large and could feed two people. Highly recommended. I would also have no problem in recommending this place to anyone.
