Most Disliked
Some visitors note that peak hours can lead to a cramped environment, especially on busy weekends. The shop's cozy size sometimes translates to longer wait times during these rush periods, particularly on Friday evenings when the place sees 100% capacity. A few reviews mention occasional queues, indicating others share the sentiment that a quick lunchtime stop might require a bit of patience. Despite its merits, a minor complaint includes limited seating available, which might not be suitable for larger groups wanting to dine in.

We moved near dereham last year. Only recently tried 'The Perfect Catch' and we're now addicted! We'd gone off fish and chips because they were always soggy. This place is great and clean. Lovely ungreasy chips, and batter is crispy. Staff are friendly. Our son loves them too, and can't fault it. Our go to is jumbo battered sausage and chips or Cod and chips with curry sauce. Yum. We never go to McDonald's anymore. Thank you for restoring our faith in the good old British Chip Shop.

Very tasty traditional fish and chips amongst a variety of other options including vegetarian. Portions are quite large and good value for money. Free ketchup dispenser and chip forks/disposable cutlery also available. Sometimes there's a bit of a queue and the shop is cosy but a nice place for a quick lunch overall.
