Most Disliked
Some visitors report longer wait times, especially during peak hours when the takeaway lines grow. There are also mentions of cramped seating during busy periods, making the casual vibe slightly less comfortable. A few customers have expressed concerns about the variability in service speed during the dinner rush, with some evenings feeling particularly hectic for staff. A small number of reviews point out that the takeout containers could be better suited for keeping the food warmer during the commute home. However, these issues do not deter most regulars from returning, reflecting the overall strong reputation of Ed's Fish Bar despite occasional service challenges.

We are new to the area and tried Ed's for the first time last night. We were a little dubious due to some of the previous reviews. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The fish was cooked fresh to order. The portion sizes were great and the food lovely both in look and taste. We will definitely visit again. Good job guys. Thank you.

Eds Fish Bar is an absolute jem of a chippy tucked away in the outskirts of Calne. The food is amazing and the staff are always really happy to see you. All food is cooked to order and even though I have to drive 10 minutes home the food is still hot and delicious. Highly recommended.

Delicious fish and chips - cooked to order and was still hot once home, and the fish was light (fresh)! The large cod was almost a meal for 2!

We’ve found this place a couple of months ago and love it. Slightly cheaper than Melksham. We have fish, chips and battered sausages, all excellent quality, flavour and come with great service. Highly recommend.
