Popped in here for lunch as the kids needed feeding. The menu is very small and expensive. The kids meals are expensive. The kids portion of fish was small and mostly batter. The kids sausage and chip were fine. The place just seemed very penny pinching. The coke was awful cheap nasty flat 2litre bottle pop. That was also expensive. The food itself was OK, lacked flavour. The staff were nice.

Proper old school place, like something from the 70s. We ordered a takeaway and my first thought was that it wasn’t cheap. However things aren’t these days so no problem. Whilst waiting they brought out 2 potions of fish and chips to a couple in the diner and I thought. That’s small, maybe that’s what they asked for?! However the portion size is very small for everything. My wife had chips and gravy which had a small tray sat inside the takeaway tray, something a child would eat. What you get is nice, the quality is there. But I have to give a poor rating because both of us had to grab something else to get filled up.

The staff are lovely, and you are served quick but for what you pay it's not worth it, £31 for cheeseburger and chips, kids cheese burger and chips, and batter sausage and chips and 3 drinks, the burgers were like school cafeteria style and the coke is out of a 2l bottle so pretty warm and flat. It would be cheaper to go to a burger stand and get flat grilled burgers. Looked at some of the grills on front of the harbour and it would have been way cheaper and the burgers looked way better.

Came in for takeaway chips. Waited 15/20 mins. No salt or vining at even though we asked for it. It arrived in a tray…it’s raining. Asked for an enclosed box which we got but it was £2.60 and a really tiny portion. Way overpriced and not worth it.

Visited as a family of 3 including our 3 year old daughter. Adults fish and chips were good, particularly the fish. Child’s burger was average. The 2 staff in were friendly and efficient. Big gripe was the fact that you had to pay for a bread roll, if you wanted one with the child’s burger and chips. You also had to pay for ketchup, when your paying £30+ for 3 of us including a child, this is poor. We raised the issue of the extra cost for a bread roll and ketchup with the staff, they apologised but said it was out of their hands. Because of these extra, unnecessary charges, we wouldn’t return.

Visited with my family 4 adults and 2 children cost over £60 all meals are very basic and they charge silly money for extras like beans & bread, older lady taking order seemed a bit impatient when we was ordering, I ordered 3 diet cokes they came pored out off a bottle very flat and very cheap tasting, I ordered chicken burger and chips was basically a chicken burger on a dry bun no salad or sauce and a small amount of chips I could tell by my first bite it was cold so had a look in the middle of the burger and it was raw and very pink so I sent it back the cook came out and offered to make me another one or something else from the menu but I politely refused as it made me feel sick, I then heard staff saying should we refund her meal guess the answer was no because we were not offered a refund for that meal so I had paid £7.50 for a handful of chips, felt like I should have said something to them because I just feel like that is not an acceptable way to run a business we definitely won’t be returning.

We ate in the restaurant. 2 adults a 10 year old and a 5year old. The table we were given was like something from a primary school, tiny with tiny seats. But then when the food came the plates were tiny and the portions of food were minute. The chicken nuggets looked like they'd been in the fryer for a week. Kids meals are not even big enough for a toddler, served on a saucer. What we saw of the take away portions were tiny too. Better places in brid to eat than this. It's too expensive for the amount and quality of food you get.

The food was reasonably priced and was nice, although the chips portion size was small. Coke drinks expensive and out of bottles. Staff were a little rude, all complaining and moaning about the manager. Some staff were swearing, stating they were annoyed with her. Disappointing that you have to eat listening to that. Clearly the manager does not appreciate her staff and it was clear she was just constantly moaning at them and having a go. First and most likely last visit

We came here for the first time today and had the most amazing experience. Everywhere was spotless clean and you can tell the staff take a lot pride in this restaurant. The staff were helpful and looked after us very well. The food was gorgeous, my husband ordered the special steak pie which was full of meat and the batter on the fish was light and crispy. Would highly recommend visiting here.

We visited for an early tea with the kids, for some strange reason we were put in a jam packed small corner of the cafe, despite the other side of the building being completely empty, I was disappointed with the cost of the “extras” as part of the meal, 50p for a sachet of tomato ketchup, and £1.60 for what they call a large coke, but was actually a small glass poured from a bottle. The youngsters working there were alright, the elderly workers acted more like they were doing you a favour by allowing you to be there drinking their over priced drinks. This place reminds me of a place that has been around for many many years, but not because they have a back log of loyal customers they have accumulated over the years, but more because they have attracted one off people like myself who will go once but won’t ever go back because of the tourists location. The food was pretty standard, not the best fish in chips in the world, some parts roasting hot others has been sitting around for a while. I wouldn’t recommend this place, there are far more appealing places near by .

Stopped for lunch here with five adults and four children, one of which is an 8 month old. Should have taken the greeting we received for the warning it was and turned around. But we didn't, so after "you'll need to leave your buggy... Urgh, there's a baby in there *eyeroll &huff*" we were led to a far dark dingy corner in an otherwise not particularly busy restaurant and told we could spread out over the odd collection of 3 & 5 seat tables next the pot wash door and nook they stored the hoovers. We took our singular menu and took turns choosing then finally went to order. Now I'm not going to say £8:30 is unreasonable for medium fish and chips, but £2.90 for a "milkshake" which turned out to be nesquick and £1.60 for a "large" coke which wasn't even half a pint and came out of a 2ltr bottle that likely only as much as that glass definitely is. That's not to mention the massive food safety issue that arose when I ordered a "blackcurrent" squash and fizzy water which wasn't blackcurrent at all but mixed summer fruits. Not that the woman making the drinks at any point informed me of this. Luckily the person who was set to receive said drink wasn't allergic to any of the fruits in the drink. I wish this was the end of our woes here but it just got worse. We wanted a toasted tea cake for the weaning 8 month old, but we're told we couldn't have one because they didn't do them when the restaurant was busy. Same reason we couldn't have the egg and chips from the children's menu. Apparently they were too busy. So new orders placed we returned to our tables with our cutlery and sauces. Now i will say our food came quickly. I will also say this is likely because most of it had likely been made for hours. The chicken nuggets were as hard as bullets and seemed to have been cooked and recooked again. Portions were miniscule. That medium fish and chips would hardly pass as a small. The kids meals had maybe a dozen chips on the plate and the adult portions weren't much better. A portion of beans came in a tiny bowl and was emptied onto the plate with just two scoops a desert spoon. Hardly £1.40's worth. We ate our food and left with haste through the still half empty restaurant and past the still glaring "hostess" who apparently thought we were beneath her and her restaurant. Too bad it's the other way around. Avoid. Worst fish and chips at the seaside ever.

Personally, I would not recommend the dine in fish and chip restaurant. Poor staffing and covid awareness signage to avoid other customers. We also asked for sauces when ordering food assuming it was free of cost as there was no price for sauces on the menu and was charged for each singular sachet. However the table next to us was given them for free because they didn't have enough change, so why is it one rule for one customer and one rule for another? 2 males waitors working and heard them gossiping in the corner and the food served was average at best and was not worth the £23 bill for 2 customers. Will definitely go somewhere else next time.

My Girlfriend and I ate here with our 4 kids and to be honest despite the very dated decor and ramshackle appearance the food was okay.The menus state that this place has had the same owners for the last 40 years and I honestly believe the place hasn't seen any sort of refurb in that time. There wasn't even central heating, just several electric heaters dotted around the place. There is plenty of choice on the menu, and there are kids options. It's not the cheapest and given the environment, I'm surprised they charge what they do. I think we paid about £38 in including drinks.Service was ok and the food arrived quickly. Surprisingly the food was pretty good. Not the best I've ever had but good enough.I would certainly not go back or advise anyone to visit as there are much better places to eat but most were closed on the day we visited over New Year.

We walked past Allens Nosh Bar and decided to give it a try. Had we known from Trip Advisor that it was rated 47th of 47 quick bites in Bridlington we wouldn't have gone in. There are no good points. The decor is really dated and worn. The chips were awful. I heard others complaining. The cost of the food was expensive. I think they even charged me for two sachets of brown sauce.

Last Decorated in 1973 Allen's is a miserable restaurant with food and staff to match.We ordered chicken burger and chips, scampi and chips, chicken nuggets 2 white barms with butter, a banana milkshake and a coke.£25 lighter our food (use the term loosely) arrived.Chicken burger bathed in grease and stringy the chips were not your normal chip shop chips more like big slabs of over fried potato.After one bite it was sent back for a refund.The soft white barmcake could only be seriously used as a paperweight it was stale and dry and topped with margarine.The waitress did apologise and said oh I'm sorry you didn't like it her genuine surprise cemented the fact that they had obviously given up all standards some decades back.Scampi batter was very weird and the insides were all mushy.i kindly ate a few out of politeness but could not finish them or the potato slabs.Stomach cramps followed.Waitress asked if I wanted tartare sauce and after my 2nd refusal she said she would get me some as the scampi would taste better, intrigued at this mystery meal transforming sauce I expected her to bring over a bowl of homemade sauce however 2 sachets of bargain tartare made their way over and were not opened so I cant comment on if they would have made the inedible, edible.Our son had the misfortune of having chicken nuggets which were fried within an inch of their lives and after a few minutes turned rock hard.awful.The children's beans had been super heated to 500 degrees Celsius dont think they were Heinz.Banana milkshake was Nesquick powder and the coke I think was poundlands own standard.flat warm brown crap.How this place is still open in beyond me.We got a part refund and did the nice thing of informing two people who were considering the same ill fate to eat elsewhere.Yours hungrily Adam and family

Visited with my wife and daughter as our usual place to eat is closed Sundays and we are not likely to return.Firstly the young lads who were serving and waiting tables were really polite and helpful but that is where the compliments end unfortunately.The seating and tables have seen better days and are chipped and torn with bodge repairs done to them.The Coke we ordered was poured from a plastic bottle, was warm and tasted like cheap chicken cola.Most of the cutlery was clean but after starting to eat I noticed my fork had dried mushy peas on the back of the handle We all had fish and chips and although the food wasn't terrible it wasn't great either, small fish with a lot of grease dripping onto the plate is off-putting.We are regulars in Brid and always on the lookout for new places but won't be keeping Allen's on our list.Could be a great little place in a good location in the town but needs some love from the owners if it going to survive much longer.There are plenty of other options in Bridlington so repeat customers must be few and far between.

Visited here yesterday with a large group of friends for some fish and chips. As soon as we walked in they asked us to sit away from everyone but to get to our table we had to actually climb over seats because the layout of the seating was so badly thought out for a start.

I wanted basically a small fish and chips to take away, first let me admit, after seeing the bored outside advertising fish and chips from £4.95 sounded fine, maybe I did not read the bored properly before entering the premise's.

The food is over priced, the portions are small, the soft drinks are flat and the service isn’t great! Would not return, there’s much better places to eat just a stone throw away!

The worst restaurant I've ever been to! The food was incredibly bad and greasy, especially for the expense of it. The drinks were lukewarm and small for the price. The decor was out of date and created no atmosphere. I strongly do not recommend trying out this restaurant!!

In Scarborough area for fortnight's holiday and called in here for a family meal on our first night. All I can say is let's hope the rest of the holiday food improves!! The food was the worst I have ever tasted. The portions were small, the fish was incredibly greasy and the burgers contained little, if any, meat. The large drinks were tiny and the diet coke was served from a lukewarm bottle kept below the counter. And to top it all it was expensive for the quality of food served! I am surprised the business has survived this long!!

Found this gem on a day trip to Bridlington, we were seated promptly and our orders taken. We opted for the pensioners special, fish, chips and peas at a very affordable price. The food was prepared when ordered and was piping hot when served. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal, so much so we returned two weeks later. The reception and quality of the food was equally as good. We will always go back whenever we visit Bridlington.

Visited here on a fairly quiet Sunday.. we eat fish and chips outside the takeaway door.... mistake.. the smell of drains was very strong and put us off our food. The fish was ok... but the chips were a small portion and were very greasy and had been fried and fried again. Wouldnt return.

It must rely on tourists randomly walking in off the street, because you wouldn’t return to this shambles of a chippy.

Visited over bank holiday weekend with my 2 young children and went in as appeared attractive from outside. Once inside, found the place very dated and in need of a refurb. It is not buggy friendly at all, we had to choose a table in the corner as was the only place we could put a pushchair without it being in the way.

I have read the most recent reviews for Allens and cannot agree with them - for the price we paid we felt this place provided good value.

Visited here on a busy Sunday afternoon and although the food was nice it was expensive for what it was. Pretty certain other nearby places offer fish, chips, side and a cuppa for the same price and their portions would be much bigger! It did taste nice but by the time we had queued to order then told we had to go to the cash point down the road to pay we would've eaten anything!

We waited an hour for eggs and toast. Owner only cared about Door Dash orders going out the door. Given that Courtenay has so many great casual dining places, give this one a pass. Give your business to restaurants that care about providing good service to their customers.
