I’m not one to write reviews but I couldn’t go home without leaving this chippy some praise.
During my stay in Ambleside I became a regular in this hidden gem. Not only was the food delicious and served swiftly, but the staff made the visit worth while.
The food always hit the spot and the service was phenomenal. I wouldn’t usually eat in a chip shop however their friendliness welcomed me to give it a try. I’ll be more than happy to come back in the summer and give it a go.
I felt as though I really got to know both staff by the end of my visit. Reminded me of home with their friendly faces. Chats about work and life. Felt like they were treating like a son.
Wether you’re in Ambleside for business or pleasure, it would be wrong not to give this chippy a try. Spend some time speaking to the staff and you’ll have the same experiences as me.
Signing off,
One very happy customer.
Lovely chippy. Great staff. Great food. I tried all the chip shops in Ambleside for fish and chips, and this one is by far the best in Ambleside. I got fish and chips from there twice in the week, and wow, beautiful. Great family run business.
A classic fish and chip shop! Lovely and fresh and generous portions. I got a regular fish and chips and it was more than enough, the lady serving us was super friendly and added loads of salt and vinegar for us! Would definitely recommended if you’re in Ambleside!
I left a nice review however days later Gary harassed me days about my review so I am telling the whole story now. Fish and chips were cold and swimming in oil. We kindly asked Sian to cut the burger in half and she jumped down our throats and said...well mcdonald's don't do that for ya now do they? Another customer told them how rude they were being but they were only getting warmed up. The other customers order came ready and something was missing...Gary instantly accused her of trying to steal and upon her leaving he told us he was close to throwing her out. I tried to take the bad food and service in a joking manner however future patrons must know what we experienced so they can choose on their own whether to visit this establishment or not. So what's it gona be Gary? Should I should it deep like you told Mary?
Most expensive chips and cheese I’ve ever bought in my entire life at £6.20. I was disappointed with the minimal portion of cheese that was given. When pointed out, staff refused to correct this. If the price hadn’t been so astronomical for what it was, it wouldn’t have bothered me one bit. They also attempt to charge more for sitting in and for ketchup. No wonder the place was dead. Rip off, wouldn’t recommend.
Friendly staff, basic fish and chip cafe and takeaway in a central side street of Ambleside not far from a competitor. Quantity and quality is good (a little greasy), prices - well, f&c is no longer a poor man's dinner unfortunately - typical.
Fish and chips were very good. Chips were nice and crispy. Fish was decent. Good size portion (I ordered large). The lady that served us was very polite and friendly. Speed of service was also decent.
Very great food and great service. Food is hot and comforting. Great fish and chips shop in general. I recommend
