Price and Portion Size
Pros:
"The prices aren't too bad: just under £30 for a regular fish, XL chips, steak pie, jumbo sausage, 2x battered sausage, mush peas, regular chips, meat and potato pie, home baked barmcake."
"The Good - Portion size £2.50 regular chips great value large portion."
"Very handy for the seafront, can get very busy in the holiday season and especially when the Illuminations are on."
Cons:
"Ordered two sausage, chips and gravy with a can of pop each and it came to £21.40."
"But prices gone up a lot and chips have more than halved in portions? Probably around 15 chips rather than the big portion you used to get."
"Disappointed chips were half cooked ordered large portion and didn't get a lot of chips."
"Food wasn't the best and for the price of an XL chips to what you actually get!!! It's disgusting! More like a small chips and the price is disgusting!!!!"
"Shocking. Where do I start?? £5.20 for a reg haddock....seen more fish on a fish finger!! Avoid."
"Food was hot and palatable but even though I asked for plenty of salt and vinegar, she shook the salt and vinegar only once."
"£7-odd for half a scoop of chips, two anaemic sausages and a bottle of water."
"Went in thinking being award-winning it would be nice, only wanted two portions of chips, I might as well have just eaten raw potatoes."
Service and Staff Attitude
Pros:
"Always come here when in Blackpool. Best steak pudding by a mile."
"The girl behind the place was boss dead funny and nothing wrong with a sense of humour."
"Really enjoyed our fish, chips and peas, my son had a steak pie which was in his words 'awesome'. The staff are always nice, friendly and helpful."
"Friendly staff but I noticed my partner who was ordering for us had to repeat the order 3 times."
"We have been coming to this chippy for years but not anymore! The steak and kidney pudding was terrible and the portion size has been reduced drastically!"
"Went here for the first time tonight. It wasn't very busy and was clean but there was only one staff member on duty who was both brusque and virtually unintelligible."
Cons:
"But the girl with brown hair serving acted like she was doing me a favour in serving me."
"Not tonight, a flimsy paper style tray that once filled with gravy was so flimsy, it's was collapsing when held."
"The fish and chips are absolutely delicious, ice cream is gorgeous, cakes and fruit Scones are to die for, staff are all very kind and helpful."
"We've just had a takeaway from this place, it was an awful experience; from the rude staff to the woeful portion sizes and flattened, greasy, fish and pies at the bottom of the bag when we got home."
"Hi. My family and myself visited this chippy last night. Well, that was a mistake....."
"Unfortunately fish and chips were more slop than top. Saw another review saying cooked with lard, might explain the soggy overly greasy mess of chips we received with our meals, not to our taste."
"Worst chippy in Blackpool, the girl behind the counter has no customer service and shouldn't be working in a role where she has to speak to any customers, infact she shouldn't have a job at all, she'd be under qualified for the dole."
"Greasy, the fat ran of the fish, if you could call it a fillet of fish, it was soggy, had skin on, awful, best chippy, OMG, chips hard and cold and it was so overpriced £19.50 fish, chips and peas twice, didn't eat it, awful, fat ran out of the tray when I opened it, had to get paper towel to mop it up, needs closing down."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Went here before commencing a fishing trip in Blackpool. The fish and chips was actually quite nice, a bit greasy maybe but nice for under a fiver."
"The homemade steak pudding which was nice at first then the grease coated your mouth. Shame as the insides were the tastiest of the whole meal."
"The fish was very tasty but lacked crunch. Very greasy as well and fooled a bit by the price."
"Really enjoyed our fish, chips and peas, my son had a steak pie which was in his words 'awesome'."
"Is part of the Bispham Kitchen (which I think is a lovely place), great fish, chips slightly undercooked - but I'm sure they'll leave them in a bit longer if you tell them. Generous portion. Tasty curry sauce."
"We went in tonight just as they were closing and the two kind lovely ladies cooked our order fresh the haddock was fantastic and full of flavour and wonderful chips best of all the home made mushy peas were delicious and full of flavour."
"One of the best chippy's I've been to in Preston! The batter is crispy, not soggy, the chips and fluffy in the middle and crunchy on the outside and the Irish curry sauce is delicious."
"This has to have the best stake pudding on the planet we came from Southampton to try this and I'd do it again absolutely lovely 😍the chips are perfect friendly service 👌people you must try this you won't be disappointed."
Cons:
"The chips were strange, hard yet soft, tasteless with a strange grease after taste."
"The chips were average, the mushy peas were grey, the batter on the battered sausage was like cardboard."
"FISH - Upon entering the chippy you are asked if you want fish, I said I did and was asked what size so I asked for a large and that was accepted. moved along the counter to the person taking the orders and was asked what I was having, I said a large fish and fish and she replied they only do one size of fish and its regular. why ask if there's no choice? bizarre."
"Food just not worth buying which is a shame because we used to get steak pudding and chips regularly many years ago. The last time we had the steak pudding it was greasy and not much meat in it."
"Just ordered from here. Threw it all in the bin. Old fat used, chips not cooked properly. Fish very greasy and steak not cooked."
"Possibly the worst chippy I’ve ever been to. Chips had clearly been sat for ages. Greasiest fish and stale bread cake. Zero flavour."
"Worst Chippy Ever! Food went Straight Into The Bin Only Place For It Complete Waste Of Money...Service Was Rude I Thought So Anyways Get Better Food At A Burger Van Fish Had This Yucky Slime On It & The Stake Pie Wow 😂 Extremely Dry Tasteless 😳"
"Chips was not cooked still hard in the middle and tasteless. Gravey just tasted like water Homemade Steak pie 🥧 I would start buying them in cold dry and tasteless."
