The Marlin Fish - Speisekarte

First time I've used this place not being from Towester but I must say I was highly impressed with the food...

Really nice food here. However the amount they now charge is crazy! £4 for small chip? £4 for Sausage? Absolutely mental.

Very good service and friendly staff. Asked to swap out an item on a set deal and they happily did this free of charge. And there was a lot of food. Very tasty

A friend brought tea tonight fish and chips from Merlin's in Towcester, and it was terrible, yesterdays chips reheated, I dare not eat the fish it was very dry and did not look at all appetizing so after a taste gave it a miss. Will not be using again.

Don't rely on them being open. I turned up 20 mins before closing time and they were in there, lights on, but the door was locked and clearly they were not open! Rude, unreliable and a waste of time going there. Staff just looked at you. Never again. Avoid.

This chippy is hit or miss. Sometimes the food is fresh, but they need to change the oil more often. The chips in general are always over cooked and too crispy, add old oil to the mix and they are hardly edible. Shame because they could be so much better and I would buy more often if the chips were consistent.

Tried to order a delivery online and when went to place order, delivery no longer available. Ordered for collection instead and when got home large portion was missing. Called and was told that online payment on different machine and if I wanted a refund I had to go back. Sadly the once great service seems to be disappearing so will consider alternatives in future.

Disgusted to have made an effort to drive to get fish and chips tonight, noting the closing time was 10pm to arrive 20 minutes before their (9.40pm) with the door locked and all staff inside looking at you refusing to serve you. False advertising to close early and then just plain rude to ignore you. Clearly local businesses don’t need support or customers! Would not recommend.

The quality and quantity has completely gone downhill whilst the prices have gone up. Portion sizes are around half of what they use to be. Chips are now terrible, almost like they have reheated a batch, and mixed in with a fresh batch to bulk them out. Donner meat use to be the best in town, but now it’s mushy and full of gristle. Chicken kebab portion has now become so small you get more salad than meat with a horrendous price tag. Sorry but they have seen the last of my custom.
