Best KPortal Reviews
The place is great, a bit retro but very charismatic. I tried 5 times Fish & Chips in Carlisle in 5 days and this was the best. Clean operation environment, nice service, nothing to complain about. Good parking options. We will come again.
Definitely worth a wee visit, delicious fresh fish & chips, with a wide variety of options available, including vegetarian and vegan. They do a few desert dishes. We opted for the kit kat sundae ???? worth the visit in itself.
A handy stop off for a quality chip shop…
This place is quirky but that’s why I like it, it really feels somewhat like an old American style diner - it could be because I somewhat remember it as a Little Chef but there’s just something that feels nostalgic about Johns Plaice.
As soon as we entered, we were greeted by smiling waitresses who showed us to a table and brought us menus promptly, the menus by the way are huge! There’s a wide range of food here, not just fish and chips!
I ordered a ham roll with chips and gravy, my partner ordered an egg mayo sandwich with chips and gravy, she got told there was no egg mayo left so she went for a tuna sandwich instead.
The food was all really tasty, big portion sizes too!
My ham roll was filled with thick, good quality ham and the bread was soft, my chips and gravy were good too - just very filling!
My partner enjoyed her food too and we both left with happy bellies after a good feed on our way home.
There’s ample parking here and they also offer takeaway which is great for if you just need a quick bite.
The food was nice and the service was fast but the workers didn’t care about what was going on for example a child was running about for 5 minutes before any of the workers noticed
We came here on the way back from Carlisle, many times we have driven past while on holiday in the area, and said one day we will stop for food, well today was the day we stopped, we can say it was worth it, great food and plenty of it, good service.
Was looking for a decent fish and chip restaurant near Carlisle so decided to try The Original John's Place - service was quick and friendly, prices reasonable and the food really tasty with good sized portions. Strong recommend.
Best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time- especially when you were so busy on Good Friday. Thank you so much for our takeaway????????????
Possibly the best and certainly the most consistently good Fish and Chips in Cumbria. Can always guarantee light crispy batter on the fish and well cooked chips.
