About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Watton on High Street, Deniz's Plaice has earned its spot as a beloved local gem for authentic British fish and chips. Specializing in classic fast food fare, this charming eatery delivers a satisfying experience that has won over both longtime residents and first-time visitors alike.

From the moment you step inside, Deniz's Plaice exudes a welcoming, no-fuss atmosphere that perfectly complements its straightforward, made-to-order menu. The star of the show is undoubtedly the fish and chips—crisply battered, golden-hued cod fillets paired with thick, fluffy chips that strike the ideal balance between crunch and tenderness. Customers repeatedly praise the freshness of the ingredients, with fish cooked right in front of you ensuring every bite bursts with flavor and warmth.

Angela Harkin’s glowing testimony that Deniz's Plaice offers “the best fish and chips in this area” echoes the sentiment of many patrons who have made this their go-to spot. Giles Sloane-Hunter highlights the great value, noting a medium cod and chips portion priced at just £10, an excellent deal for such quality and volume.

Further enriching the dining experience is the genuine friendliness of the staff and owners. Marta Nowakowska remarks on the “lovely customer service” and a “super friendly” owner who makes every visit feel personal. Even casual diners find themselves engaged in warm, easy conversation, making the meal more than just food but a moment of community connection. “Great chat from the guy working in the place,” says one customer, capturing the inviting spirit that makes Deniz's Plaice truly stand out.

While almost all aspects of the experience rate highly, the honest feedback about the flavor of the frying oil from Thinesh Pathmaraja reflects the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and freshness, as each fish and chip order is cooked with care and attention to detail. This openness and dedication make Deniz's Plaice feel less like a faceless fast food joint and more like a conscientious local favorite.

For those seeking a fast, flavorful, and authentically British fish and chips experience in Watton, Deniz's Plaice should be top of the list. Whether you're stopping by for a quick takeaway or a casual sit-down, the combination of superbly cooked food and heartfelt hospitality turns every visit into a comforting, memorable occasion.

    This is by far the best fish and chips in this area, having tried all of them, I'd definitely not get from any of the others now. Really hope he never closes down

    Great fish and chips. Probably the best I’ve had in 10 years. The wife also enjoyed it and she doesn’t usually like anything. Great chat from the guy working in the place.

    I called in the afternoon to have fresh fish and chips make for collection. They made it in front of me as requested and it was very fresh. The fish was a nice golden colour, as was the chips. The staff were very friendly and I'd recommend their food. I personally didn't like the taste of the oil for the chips and fish but it was otherwise okay with very nice staff/owners. lovely people. good customer service. easy parking in front of the shop
