The standout dish at Murphy's is undoubtedly the haddock, praised for its flavorful batter that’s not overly thick.

Most Disliked
As popular as Murphy's is, a few patrons note the unfortunate wait times during peak hours, particularly during lunch rushes. Some have found the queue intimidating when in a hurry. A handful of customers suggest that it might be beneficial to have more preparation ahead of peak times to minimize this wait. Additionally, while the takeaway service is generally efficient, a few diners have reported mixed experiences with delivery, voicing concerns about food quality upon arrival. These minor complaints don't overshadow the overall positive experience, but they do highlight areas for improvement in service efficiency.

I was in a hurry to get the London train, so I didn't have time to wait for the fish, the queue was reassuringly long. However, the chips were by far the best I've ever had. I've eaten in some of the best restaurants, but nothing I've had before compares to these. Next time, I will allow more time to try the fish, which looked absolutely amazing.

IMO the best chips in Hitchin. Bring your own bags, access from the side street. Menu online is accurate. Served gluten free fish on a Friday night with no concerns..

I have been going to Murphy's with my family for seven years. It is consistently excellent and they have the best chips ever. They were voted Best Chips in 2014 in Hertfordshire and are always perfect (even cooked to your order - extra crisp etc))and I have no idea why one of the reviews says otherwise. I have never seen them on an off day. The food and the staff are excellent. I've moved to another part of the country but still visit when I can. If you eat there (they have a small sit down restaurant) you'll be in for a treat. Try the rice flour coating instead of batter for a healthy and tasty change.
