Atkinson's Fish & Chip Restaurant in Lancaster

£3.50 for 1 regular takeway portion of chips...disgraceful!

Friendly service and great fish and chips

Poor. My chips were undercooked and a mushy mess. Meat & Potato Pie dry but nice.

Very rude. Didn't want to give a single person a table as they know if they seat more more money.

I ordered then returned to my car, leaving my partner to wait (15 minutes!) for the food. Atkinson's are lucky I wasn't there when they wrapped mine, because I simply wouldn't have accepted that fish, it was fit for the bin. Batter was ridiculously overcooked & the fish, which had been cut with a razor blade, was dry as a bone. They've an absolute cheek charging what they do for that. Train your friers & instruct your counter staff to have a bit of pride in what they're serving! Needless to say, if you do go here make sure you look at the food before they wrap it & get them told to replace it if it's no good.

Good food great staff and quick service. Can't ask for any more

Stopped off for fish and chips with the family as last time we were impressed by the food from the take out part. The fish and chips were delicious and the portion sizes are large so you definitely get value for money. The staff are very friendly and the food came quickly. Will definitely go back.

I am a regular and never disappointed. Highly recommended 👌

Popped in at last minute as a hgv driver it's hard to find somewhere you can park outside and grab food , this was ideal

Really enjoyed fish and chips, would recommend

Not sure what all the hype is! Most expensive chip shop in morecambe and heysham. Staff to busy talking about nights put than serving.

Loved it great chips and flavour

11th October I bought a mini fish and chips about 30 mins ago, they were disgusting, both fish and chips were luke warm, despite asking if the chips were hot. The batter on the fish was soggy as were the chips. I shouldn't have accepted the mini fish ' which was spare'. What has happened, this place used to be excellent, I'm done, and won't be back. A photo of what is going in the bin!

We were passing through Morecambe on our way home and stopped here for fish and chips. We wanted a lighter meal so asked for the seniors special which was very reasonably priced and came with tea, bread and butter. A generous portion arrived of lovely chips and excellent fish with just the right amount of well cooked batter and a pot of mushy peas. Nice to see a decent pot of tea served with extra hot water too. We had a lovely, friendly waitress and we couldn’t fault anything. The restaurant side of the shop was clean and bright with tables for two and four place settings. We really enjoyed our meal and thought it was great value. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re nearby.

Best place for a chippy in Morecambe! Brilliant value for money and really yummy! This place gets really popular though so you might have to wait a bit but it’s worth it for the food!! Staff friendly too.

Very nice place. Very nice friendly staff. Patient and helpful when explaining menu etc 😋

Great Haddock and Chips takeaway. Eaten on the prom. Fast and friendly service at the takeaway counter; good big portions, and very tasty

Great tasting proper old school fish and chips

Visited after a break of many years and the food was excellent and the service fast and efficient. Plus bonus scallops free.

A good, cosy, staple restaurant. Our Haddock was nice but would have been better if the batter had stuck to it. It was slightly underdone and a little bit soggy. Nothing that a couple of minutes extra in the fryer could have put right. That said, the meal was enjoyable enough and averagely priced.

Overpriced for what got.fish small for price and chips dry and scrappy, found a better one.

In Morecambe attending Vintage Cars and music venue. It’s not complete if you don’t visit “Atkinsons Fish Restaurant”in Albert Road for a meal. It doesn’t need to be Fish& Chips ant meal that they serve are all delicious and the service you get is excellent. All aspects of this place is good exceptional clean all round and fantastic staff. Highly recommended

Fantastic fish and chips loved it!

Absolutely lovely fish and chips, crispy batter. Very fresh and the standard portion with peas was very filling. Staff very responsive, helpful and friendly. Couldn’t fault it on a busy bank holiday. (Apart from the moaning grumbling couple sat behind me 🤣 mind you, you can’t choose your clients). Thank you we had a lovely meal.

Went for a family lunch with my daughter and 3 Grand children 7 , 5 and 3, the kids meals were excellent, all plates cleared, I had the chicken curry and that was superb, the staff Bernie and Colleen were wonderful with us especially the children, giving them colouring in and crayons. A wonderful family restaurant would definitely recommend.

Fabulous service really friendly people and great food. We're cycling the way of the Roses over the next 3 days, and it was a great meal before we left.

Great chip shop, lovely food, quick and reasonably priced.

Was very good 😊👍 nice large batter fish,an chips, and mushy peas,an a large cup of tea, very clean and quiet a good service, 😁 only a small amount of tables, but will go again,an a large menu has, well

Having decided to visit Morecombe for some fresh air and a walk along the prom, then came where to eat. Searching the web, we found Atkinson’s and decided to give it a try, we are glad we did. Luckily, we found a free table and sat down and a charming waitress, brought us cutlery and said she would take our order in a few minutes, which she did. Our drinks arrived promptly, and not long after our fish and chips came not long after. When we had finished all four plates were empty, which is testament to the quality of the food we were served. The restaurant was very clean and pleasant. We were the last dinners of the day, and the staff were completely pleasant and cheerful at the end of the day. If you are in Morecombe, it’s worth visiting this gem to either eat in or take away

I'm a visitor from 'Down South' so unfortunately I can't be a regular. Their haddock and chips were the best we've ever had, the batter was crispy & light, the fish was lovely and white, the chips were perfect. We sat in about 7pm and the service was nice & friendly. I wish you could open in South Gloucestershire! 😁

Nothing overally special, my chippy is better, bit expensive, would not particularly visit again

Absolutely perfect Haddock chips and curry sauce. Haddock so fresh and firm in scrumptious crispy batter. Chips and curry sauce without fault. Staff busy but very friendly. This is a must go place to visit if in Morecombe. Eating on the sea front with the lake district hills a million pound view. Wow

Not dog friendly , not friendly at all. Didn't stay for fish and chips as didn't feel very welcome as we had 2 well behaved dogs. Some of the customers were reluctant to accept them, not management fault but under the impression from website that it was dog friendly. Won't be returning.

The best haddock and chips I have eaten for a long time. Crispy batter, soft fish, no grease at all. Chips very fluffy inside and curry sauce was absolutely delicious.

Great fish and chips. Best I've had for ages. Chips were extremely tasty. They seem to take extra care on quality. Fish cooked to order and it even lists the boat the fish was caught on and where the potatoes come from. Daughter was not overly impressed with flavour of sausage in batter but I can't comment. Would highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the restaurant ! It had been recommended to me by some local football supporters of Morecambe FC. I had Scampi and chips which came with side salad and tartare sauce . The pot of tea complimented the meal . Lovely informal staff and a very pleasant location just a few strides from West End promenade . Brilliant ! 😊

Went to Atkinsons on the off chance as just staying in the area overnight and we weren’t disappointed. We ate in and both had haddock and chips which were cooked to perfection. The mushy peas and curry sauce were both good too. Best of all was the customer service. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Nipped over the border to have a seaside supper. The price was right as was the service and food. These wonderful institutions need our support and I'd highly recommend you give this plaice yours.

Best chips in a very long time. The fish (haddock) was well received too. Friendly and fast service. I also appreciated the Fentimans drink. Not many tables, but we didn't wait to sit down.

First ever visit. Meal was very good ( and good value), staff were friendly and attentive. Everything that I wanted. Thank you kindly.

Thought we'd try here for dinner after seeing a lot of positive reviews and we weren't disappointed. Fish and chips were excellent, nice crispy batter coating well cooked fish and the chips were spot on. A big thumbs up from both my wife and 3 year old daughter. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, even giving our daughter a picture to colour in with a box of pencils without us asking. And we were allowed to bring in some fruit that we'd packed for our daughter after her fish and chips. The restaurant was well presented and clean so overall a very good experience. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent plate of fish and chips

My wife and I used this chip shop yesterday ( 11/07/24 ) for the first time and it is superb. We each had a chip bun and when it arrived we were extremely surprised by the amount of chips that came with the bun and the cooking was first class. The price was excellent and the restaurant is very clean with very friendly and polite staff. We highly recommend this chip shop to anyone looking for a feed.

Google states open until 9pm, arrived at 7.15 to find it already shut - certainly won’t bother again even though recommended to us. Not happy!

An updated review. My previous review was 5 stars and now I give it 1. I visited at teatime on Saturday 29/06/24. Paid £41.20 for family Fish & Chips and I wish I went elsewhere. Generally unfriendly, unchatty service. Not even a thank you after taking my payment. The chips were old and had a horrible taste (might have been old oil). The fish wasn't very nice. Soggy tasteless batter and the fish was far from fresh. It was so disgusting, I had to spit it out and was immediately swarmed by seagulls, who wanted nothing to do with it either. We all felt queasy with an unsettled stomach. I really don't know if Atkinsons have been taken over (new management) or not, but this was totally RANK and the next time I visit Morecambe, I'll be going elsewhere.

Family get together and delicious tea. Recommend...spotlessly clean ..fabulous

Always top food and great staff can't wait to go back.

Really good fish & chips well recommended 10 people waiting only 10 minutes to get served

We ate fish and chips which was superb. The fish was crispy and not oily which was perfectly made for our taste. The staff were friendly and prompt. I would recommend this restaurant to visitors and friends

Can't fault was lovely curry sauce was very nice fish was great staff were quik and friendly

Went for a fish take away...£8 it was in a box and I went back to my accommodation to consume it. When i opened the box.... fish batter was overcooked...looked as if it had been re-cooked/re-heated. Our Accomm. Was too far away to go back and complain.... £8 wasted... My wife who is a chef could not believe what they served. Sorry Atkinson you must of had inexperienced staff yesterday evening...

Lovely fish and chip shop , delicious food , good price , good service and very clean. We went with friends while staying in morecombe , found it on TripAdvisor

Staff were polite, and the restaurant was clean and tidy. The food was, as usual, presented very well and tasted amazing.

Awfull,had heard good reviews about Atkinsons but food was disgusting,husband had steak pie which looked like it had been in the warmer all day,he couldnt eat it as was so dry and burnt,my haddock was soggy on the batter and the chips were awful,i will never go here again

I visited here one Sunday with a friend. We ordered the haddock with chips and one with peas and one curry sauce. The curry sauce was massive! The fish was delicious and really meaty. Very nice! The restaurant is nice and welcoming. Only reason for one star less is the absolute outrageous price for a slice of bread. 90 pence!!! Really????? Yes, one slice is 90 pence!

Quick, pleasant service . The food was hot, very tasty , and good-sized portions . Prime location. Highly recommended

Loaded chips are amazing! Great batter & lovely fresh fish. Thanks The Chippy Tour (Youtube) for the recommendation.

Great little spot. It was my first time in the UK and my colleague took me there to experience some authentic British culture and I was not disappointed. Loved it including the great service.

Great fish and chips and friendly service!

On my way to a few days of reviewing chippies in Cumbria, I thought it might be a good idea to call at the popular holiday destination of Morecambe Bay and look for a great chippy. I actually located a fantastic chippy. Walking down the quiet street, which was unusual for May, I felt relaxed. Entering the chippy, I felt even more relaxed, and stayed relaxed for the rest of the day. The chippy was clean and tidy, with a real traditional chippy feel. There was a restaurant side to the chippy too, complete with happy people enjoying their meals. The service was great, but the food was something else. The loaded chips were delicious, with crispy chicken, bacon, and all sorts of goodies on top of delicious chips. The haddock was fresh and thick, with a light crispy batter that won't slow you down on the prom. The chips were chunky and fresh, and farmed in Cheshire and regions are mentioned when and where potatoes are farmed and in stock, while the haddock was caught from sustainable stock off Norway. The trawler name was even given!

Very nice fish n chips to enjoy on the seaside

Food and service are good. Toilets are clean and tidy.

Great efficient service. Huge piece of fish, perfect amount of batter. Absolutely delicious.

Everything great apart from chips being a bit undercooked and being a bit costly otherwise good 4 star

Nice chippy down a side road off Morecambe promenade, rated the best in Morecambe so I visited it whilst there for a few days. Had the fish and chips, fish was lovely nicely battered haddock not too greasy, chips were OK. Friendly service and not long to wait for the fish.

A very good chippy with freshly made produce. The large fish IS large, lovely.

We recently ate at Atkinsons on the way back from the North, and it exceeded our expectations. Everything we had was delicious and the service was quick. The haddock was cooked perfectly, with a crispy batter. The chips were fresh and cooked just right, and the potato scallop was seasoned perfectly. The battered sausage was a nice surprise, and the mushy peas were a nice addition. The gravy tied everything together nicely. Overall, I would highly recommend Atkinsons for a satisfying and quick meal by the seaside.

Delivery lady this evening was lovely! Smiles and good etiquette. Food good too! Would order again 😊😊

Top quality fish and chips. Well worth visiting if you are in the area.

One of the best fish&chips I have ever had

Purchased two fish, large chips, peas, curry and tarter sauce. price £21.30. Chips barely warm, hard thick batter on fish, horrible, as for curry and peas, tiny containers not even full, very disappointed

An institution. A must visit for the number one traditional food. Amazing Fish and Chips. Cooked fresh to order. Prompt friendly service. Always popular when I have visited.

Took my family out for lunch here. We had plenty of food, great conversation atmosphere, and the staff was extremely pleasant.

We visited for takeaway fish and chips and were not disappointed. It's a shame prices have gone up so much but the business has obviously tried hard to keep costs down for customers so it's not their fault. Everything was cooked fresh to order, the only problem is the waiting area isn't very big and when busy becomes quite crowded, but that didn't affect the friendliness of the staff. The food was delicious, stayed warm and was not soggy or over greasy. We would definitely return next time we are in Morecambe.

Best arround Morecambe better to eat in.

Absolutely delicious chips here. Really recommend if you just want some chips as it was a substantial portion.

Great fish and chip cafe and takeaway. Food perfect. Service friendly and efficient.

Excellent fish & chips pleasant staff

A popular and well established Fish n Chip shop with adjacent Cafeteria.

Good value for money and lovely fish and chips

Just ate fish, chips and peas here with my wife and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely interior decor, spotlessly clean and service was great. Fish was massive and everything cooked to great standard. We got here 4.30 as it opened and queue was down the street. Always a good sign

Not happy with quality of produce, Ordered chips ( they was stale dry), sausage ( rock hard lol been left in the dryer too long). Chips £3.30 Sausage £2.40 Small peas and curry £1.50 each. Total £8.70. Not great value if you ask me, dinner went in the bin. Shame because the workers know what their serving the customers. Cheeky really!!!

The fish was soggy when I got it not dobe fresh at all poor service of the staff would not recommend they say they are cooked fresh there was one in the warmer whist I was there the whole time I probably got that one very bad the price of a fish n chip dinner these days very un acceptable an apology does not change the fact that our whole treat was ruined by you.

This is the second time we've had fish and chips they were discusting a waste of money we never learn we still go back this is the fourth and last. The chips were not fresh they were warmed up my partner said the fish was nice but what is the point complaining because they don't listen. I will give them 1 star for everything The staff are not to mad but they want to learn to do fresh chips not warmed up from dinner time or last nights We are both discusting.

Nice place, good service and good fish and chips

Fish was well over cooked curry sauce was awful to definitely not worth the price

Overpriced rubbish. Meant to be the best chippy in Morecambe. £7 for a measly portion of cheese chips and gravy? Have you a chip shortage? You’re a chippy

We are from Mansfield, and we were all feeling cold & hungry after the Morecambe V Mansfield Town match,so we decided to have some hot Fish & Chips by the Seaside.Atkinsons was the first Chippy we noticed open on our way back, so decided to eat from there. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. The batter & Haddock was excellent and tasted fantastic. The chips were spot on as well. 😎👍

What can I say best Chippy around and best Fish &Chips and every thing is brilliant concerning this Restaurant in Morecambe staff brilliant and the cleanliness in all aspects of the restaurant 100%. Highly recommended Jock

Mini fish, chips and peas to take away and eat on the sea front. Great.

Was on our way to the Lake District. But had a stop and a look around Morecambe. Nice chips and it is nice and to know that there is a board on where the fish is from, where the Potatoes are from and what the potato type it is. I liked that there is dine in and take out.

Great food, good portions with friendly staff. Sit in bit was fresh and tidy with a goody bag given to my granddaughter and a wordsearch and pencil. She was delighted and also ate everything in her plate. We will return.

Best fish and chips I think I've had.

I had evening meals at Atkinson's on most evenings during my stay at Morecambe recently. The food was excellent and staff friendly and welcoming. A very good experience.

Really tasty jumbo sausage and chips takeaway had from here a few nights ago, good portion size & value too. Highly recommended & will visit again. Many thanks to all the staff

Drove up from Clitheroe to spiritually visit my mother's ashes which were sprinkled into the bay many years ago. Morecambe was her favourite place back in the day. Googled for a good chippy and ended up at Atkinsons, delicious haddock and chips with curry sauce. Fish was snowy white, always a good sign, perfect chips and tasty curry sauce. Price was a little high, but portion size was generous, service was polite and helpful. Highly recommended. Pity odd reviews were quite vindictive. Before you offer a review be honest, and helpfully critical. Personal gripes can undermine businesses and cost jobs! My experience was very good.

A bit disappointed on this visit. Takeaway fishcake and chips with curry sauce. All good except for the chips. A bit pasty looking with quite a few having black bits in them☹️

Ordered large chips. Carton wasnt full, and wouldnt call it a large portion.

First time to Morecombe and thought I'd try seaside fish and chips. Some of the best I've had! The fish was delicious. Served with a friendly smile too. I'd recommend this place

Menu limited Food good but pricey

Sadly only a 3 star rating. I have been a customer for many years and since covid restrictions have lifted I have seen a dramatic increase in prices, with a reduction in quantity. Such a shame as the food is to a good standard. No longer worthwhile me travelling here as I do, I am now on the lookout for an alternative. UPDATE 08/10/2023 - I OFFERED MY REVIEW ABOVE 2 MONTHS AGO AND DISAPPOINTINGLY RECEIVED A SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED RESPONSE FROM ATKINSONS. TO THOSE OF YOU LIKE ME, WHO ARE UNHAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE, HERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE: WESTGATE CHIP SHOP, MORECAMBE....WHO INCIDENTALLY, HAVE JUST BECOME FINALISTS FOR BEST CHIP SHOP TAKEAWAY NATIONALLY... GIVE THEM A TRY.
