Banny's Fish & Chip Drive Thru in Burnley

I have been to this restaurant previously and when in the area I decided to call again. Unfortunately on this occasion I was disappointed with the food. I ordered Haddock with salt and pepper chips and a coffee. The coffee was fine. The chips were dry, as though they had been in the heater some time, some were hard. The haddock was very greasy, so much so it left a thick grease lump on the paper. I couldn't eat the fish due to the greasy taste. I have given the place 2 stars, as I have previously had a good experience there. I will not be returning any time soon. Fish, chips, coffee and a water £16.45 so it's not cheap either.

Wow, the worst fish and chips I have ever had the amount of grease is beyond acceptable I had to bin most of the meal. Note to cooks leave the fish to rest before serving to allow excess oil to leave the batter. The chips were soft and greasy!

Excellent customer service by Samaira at Burnley.Very attentive and hard working.Food was great.I had the haddock and chips

This is not the cheapest place for a fish supper but it is thoroughly decent with good sized portions and nice flaky fish. The Bombay chips here are insanely good - hot, spicy, saucy and fresh-tasting all at the same time!

Will never go there again food was bland and chips under cooked. All 3 of us were ill after eating there fish. Price wise for or what you get it's over priced.

Awful chips rock hard . Dry as a bone. Haddock thin an not that fresh... batter thick an oily. I came here a few years ago and it was great. Totally gone downhill

Called whilst shopping in the area. This used to be very good quality at reasonable prices, not any more if today's offerings are anything to go by. If this fish is haddock then it's not what I remember. Poor quantity and dripping in oil, chips hard texture, mushy peas watery and flavourless, even the curry sauce and gravy were very poor quality. We ate what we could and binned the majority of the meal. We didn't complain to the staff as they can only serve the food they are supplied. Poor produce at not so reasonable prices. I seriously doubt the fish served is haddock. We will not be calling again and would not recommend anyone to try this more than disappointing.

Me and my partner went to Banny’s . we was looking forward to having fish and chips. I’ve heard so much hype and how good the food is. We ordered 2 haddock and chips with sides I was so gutted as the chips looked awful, I was expecting chunky chips soft inside and crunchy on the outside but quite the opposite they were odd bits and odd marks on the chips been thrown on a plate with no presentation nothing to it just boring plate of food, the fish had more batter then fish. The food was luke warm I paid £36 including drinks. The inside is lovely but it doesn’t add up to its reputation. We wished we went to Banister’s instead as they are fantastic with everything they do and food is excellent there. They need to read theses reviews as it’s not good for business and revamp themselves.

Totally overrated chips were cold scraps fish £6-95 a real rip off not going anywhere near either of their shops again try Holt’s in Nelson super food

Picked up fish and chips for lunch. Very disappointed with the quality these days. Very greasy chips, fish average and not a patch on what it used to be like. Won’t be going back

I drove all the way from London to try this colorful looking fish and to Ser how it was. It was freshly made and tasted good but the only thing and the main thing was the spring onions were full of sand, every bite was crunchy until I got fed up and stopped eating! This needs to stop! Maybe the company should use green onions that are closed on the ends rather than those with a hole. See pics attached.

The fish and chips here are as bad as there other branch at colne . To expensive and the food is not good for the price !! They say they serve proper chips that’s s joke rack time we have been the chips are cold or have been kept warm for ages making them dry and hard . Will not be going back to either place

The fish and chips was reasonable. Spoiled my the blaring rave/techno music they were playing at full blast. These wards are to fill my minimum word count.

The fish was the thinnest I have ever seen top price for the smallest fish. The box was swimming in fat and I don’t think the dripping is the best thing to cook in

They can tell you to takeaway only even if they have seats inside. They discriminate against you. So mind that. Its a first one for me as this has never happened. Strict action should be taken against these people. It was a lady who was serving at counter and said it will be only take out as other family member were eating and there were plenty space.

Dropped in every aspect of its business. We have been here for many years and always were impressed with the staff. service and quality of food. Last night was so poor in everyway we sat waiting for 10+ mins waiting to be served then when the food arrived the portions and quality was awful,it was easy to compare as I only ever order the Traditional Fish & Chips . I have taken many business friends here over the years but we will vote with our feet NEVER AGAIN 😱

Excellent service given by the team at Bannys Burnley. Special thanks to Chris who welcomed us very well. Went out of his way for us. Top service, extremely friendly place for family.

I’ve had food often from here. The tikka fish is absolutely delicious and the curry sauce is the best chippy curry sauce ever! The portions are generous. Well worth a visit.

Visited on the 28th of April 2023 for two haddock and chips. Upon getting them home I found both fish had dried and shrivelled within the chewy batter. The chips were hard and chewy. I wrote to the restaurant the same day.....and still not received any reply. Truly poor quality food; the service of the staff was very pleasant.

Delicious fish n chips after watching burnley play, first visit to bannys after recommendation from family who have visited the colne one. Service was quick and efficient and the food was fab, Batter lovely and crispy, fish white and fresh, and the chips were so good , ate everything too, average size portions.

Decided to have a treat for tea after a busy day. Went for haddock, chips and mushy peas as this is my favourite at Colne. What a shock when I got it home. The lovely piece of filleted haddock covered in a golden crispy batter had been replaced with a flat, almost circular piece of smooth dark brown fish swimming in grease! The chips were similar and the mushy peas were hard! It is. To say I was disappointed was an insult. How can two businesses under the same banner be so different, one so good and the other so poor, Would definitely not recommend and will never ever be persuaded to give it another try!

Well I must say fish doesn’t get much worse than this. I had haddock which was a skinny piece in vey great batter. It was just so poor.

Been coming here for years , I drive over from Blackpool to have my fish and chips fix , always been great , They need to change the oil , I visit yesterday and they have changed the barm cake , It was literally falling apart it was stale complaint with the staff and they admitted it , Not a nice experience, you won’t get away with cutting corners in this business,

Not bad at all and I was in the mood for a quick meal. The batter was a little heavy/oily for my taste but the chips were great. The Gravy side dish was good too!

Have visited both the restaurant and the takeaway many times over the years and always enjoyed everything. We visited the takeaway in November and was very disappointed in our meal as the fish was very greasy and oozed oil. We decided today to give it...

Our daughter was mesmerised by the experience as were myself and my husband. We had the best time and we will be coming back for many years. We enjoyed the adventure and recommend everyone to go and enjoy a magical Christmas adventure!!

WE have visited the takeaway over a number of years and all was good. On the last two occasions we visited the fish batter had not been properly drained. It was consequently soggy and oily. We will not be going again.

Its just Average fish an chips nothing to rave about! But it fills the stomach! But i rather go to a local fish am chips then this place’ am its over priced for what if is!

We came across banny’s while in burnley! The manager was lovely so friendly and full of suggestions! The lemon fish was delicious and the salt and Pepper chips! Yum! Defo worth a visit!

Absolutely amazing customer service from the manager Chris, great welcome, gave us recommendations on what to try, and the food came super fast and tasted delicious!! Can not fault them and I’m hardly this impressed!

Having had not so good an experience with quality and value for money on last trip I was a bit reluctant to revisit today but thought surely cant be that bad again - I was wrong it was!!!!! Paid £13 all but a few pence...

The fish and chips here are great value with a comfortable, casual seating area. I visited with my grandmother, and Chris really went out of his way to fetch our things out to us and help.

It’s my fave place to go to for fish and chips! I always get served with the best of service, always with compassion and a smile. With particular reference to Chris and Shez who are always willing to go the extra mile.

No chairs provided to eat food having walked down from Boundary Mill to buy fish and chips. Stood up leaning on a wall like many others disgruntled and dissatisfied customers.

Pre prepped ready cut chips!! There is no point claiming the accolade of being the first drive through chip shop if your chips are pre prepped ready cut and sliced chips. Just absolutely terrible!!! Rip off prices!! Terrible potion sizes!!! Rude staff!! Chips aren’t sliced...

Ordered take away fish and chips from the Drive thru. The take out box had finger marks all over it. Yes i can understand the workers wear gloves however if theres going to be masala marks or food marks (red powder) finger printed on the take away box how off putting.Will be avoiding until standards are sorted out.

We're just back from visiting the drive through and it was AMAZING!! We've never been before but will definitely be back. We all had fish, chips, peas and curry sauce. Everyone's food was fresh, hot and really tasty. I worried it may be greasy (like some chippys) but it wasn't at all, it was really good quality and we will definitely be returning! Samaria served us & was LOVELY and so helpful. Well done Bannys

What a waste of £20, really greasy, luke warm. Really can't see how they can charge these prices for this rubbish. I would not bother, don't waste your money

Excellent Haddock & Chips as always . My choice of chip ship on a Friday. Well worth a visit . Tastes like fish and chips should do !

Absolutely disgusting full of grease, they were terrible. I through it all away one mouthful was enough don’t waste your money go somewhere else instead

Great idea , just the food does not live up to the restaurant at Colne , quick enough service , fish had soggy batter , peas were a rock hard ball of reheated weirdness , chips were good though ! Won’t rush back

Great flavour and portion size good service glad they have a takeaway Covid measures were excellent thank you

A drive thru fish and chip place. Why isn’t there more around!? No wonder the place is busy. I like the menu, too. The mozzarella sticks, the burgers, the desserts. The only downfall which is a major one is the chips, they aren’t great - which is quite strange!

Called 2 weeks ago drove to beauty spot to eat only to find 3 Small milk sachets for 3 tea/coffee. Called today same order asked for reasonable amount of milk drove to beauty spot to eat only to find no utensils /napkins too greasy to eat with fingers ended up driving home food cold wasted.

Great for take away fish and chips. Always good value and great food Love the curry sauce too Not sure if they are doing the value August deal

Had lunch there today . Fish and chips with Madras sauce . Very nice food hot and quick service. Staff very polite and all staff are covid protected and Safe. 10/10

Best fish and chips for miles. Well except the restraunt at Boundry mill. Love fish Andy chips ? This is your place . If your visiting Burnley football call in . Drive thru 👍

Very dissapointed this week , at the takeaway , Fish had very thin batter and still not cooked properly { wet and slimy inside } we had to take most of it off as it was nasty , chips were some hot and some warm , The staff were as pleasent as ever , always polite , { cant fault the staff at all } , We only drove to k f c car park to eat them , they are usualy red hot , The main upset was a big hair in the box , put me right off , thats me done with Bannys ,

Visited for the first time. We ordered Tikka fish and chips, but got 2 smallish strips of fish on a bed of chips. It looked a fraction of the size of a picture posted on their website!! It was tasty and the dressing, onions and fresh chillies were very good. £15 for 2 was a bit pricey for what we received.

Good food and still always hot by the time I get home; however, the service is soooo slow. Staff have always been polite. Could do with more choices in cold drinks though. Apart from the service, very good!

Visited here for the first time, really wanted a fish butty and was advised that the signature fish burger was the closest equivalent, extremely disappointed with the burger. The fish was oily and an extremely small portion of fish for the cost. Melted cheese on top of fish with mayonnaise which is a strange combination. Chips were excellent, fresh and a good portion and the service was fantastic just a shame that the size and quality of the burger was not value for the money . A traditional fish butty would be more appropriate.

Once again, Banny's take away never fails to deliver. Great quality - large fish, perfect chips and superb service. Well done (Josh ?) and the team, We will certainly be back. I would highly recommend Banny's if you are looking for fish & chips in the area. They also have a splendid table service restaurant for a few pounds more. Enjoy!Top tip: Download their app and get a discount voucher.

My first visit I chose fish bites. The food was hot but was served on a come plate hence the meal become cold sooner.I had requested brown sauce and immediately offered tomato sauce as the person had not listened to my request.No one came to remove my plate and offer a dessert. I therefore paid for my meal and gave the person my feedback as I’m doing now and suggested a warm plate for the food and for someone to at least check if I wanted to order a dessert.An adequate portion of main meal though and cooked nice.Would I return? Yes I would try again.

Great drive through and great freshly cooked food. Very little wait even at busy times. Friendly staff too!

Usually pay a fortnightly visit or thereabouts for a great portion of freshly cooked fish, chips and curry sauce. Very tasty and not greasy. Usually adequate and filling portion sizes . Would just say a bit on the pricey side compared to other chip shops!

We are fans of Bannys in Colne and tried the Burnley one as it’s closer to us. This one is just like other fast food outlets. You do not get the same choices as Colne. No garden peas, no coleslaw, no pepper. Plastic cutlery, paper cups etc. The fish and chips were OK, good juicy haddock. Will definitely stick to the original one in future.

Eaten here twice in last 2 weeks. Food always great. Good service. Probably back in near future. Mmmm

Firstly, this is not a true drive-thru, you park in their car park and order at the counter, but they do have a large car park so there is plenty of room. We have been twice in the last 3 weeks and both times the fish & chips tasted superb.Cooked fresh to order and served in a nice card box, you can actually eat these outside as they have a number of picnic tables available - they also serve hot drinks if you want one. The portions of chips are really big so go for the small portion if you don't want too many. In fact, even the small portion is enough to share.They have Bombay Chips on the menu that look really interesting and seem very popular. We shall be trying these next time.

We visited Friday after a long Hospital visit and we were starving!! The fish and chips were excellent......hot and very good tasty haddock! We took an extra fish home for the following day!

Went into Bannys in the way home from boundary mill tonight as we always do , but tonight the fish was dry and tasteless has the management changed ? If so they need to get it back to where it was before , the toilets were also disgusting with toilet paper all over the floor and the were dirty , I don’t think we will be going again as it’s completely put

It could be 5* but for plastic sachets of sauce and vinager and plastic knifes and forks. The food is always excellent: freshly prepared to order.

We usually go to Banny's at Colne , But have been going to the drive thru instead, you can sit in and plenty of seating.

I ordered haddock &chips; burger and piripiri haddock it was amazing best fish & chips after a long time ,cookie dou was great, this was my first visit and we'll visit again.

Best fish and chips near us. Used both the eat-in and the drive through. Grandchildren love it and they're fussy!

Food was differently nice, came here with the whole family, everyone loves it! The service was great, especially from Chris who took our order, looked after us all right to the end. Chris for president!!

Called for fish and chips,ours was fantastic my son had the bbq chicken burger and my daughter had coeliac kids fish and chips and she really enjoyed it. Really good value for money, Excellent.

Good standard of service most enjoyable meal from this well known local Fish & Chip shop. A good idea as a drive through plus an alternative eat in facility.

Called in for tea, fish very thin hardly any in, chips were ok, peas nice enough.

Called in on way home.. Had to ask to order, food arrived - fish good, chips full of eyes and bits, peas watery ; had to ask for sauce. Then had to ask to order desserts!! Think staff need to be a bit more attentive to customers

I wasn't overly impressed, the fish was ok but nothing special, the price was reasonable, but it wasn't a quick service, fortunately there wasn't a queue.

We ordered a portion of fish and chips, a fish kebab and a fish lightly battered which came to just over £17!

Currently sitting in the restaurant and can safely say thoroughly enjoying our meal.

The Peri Peri fish with chips was incredible along with the lemon & pepper fish & chips... The salt & pepper spicy chips was delicious...

Such an easy drive though and the staff are always pleasant and friendly...and the food is piping hot and fresh...proper fish and chips

Came here today with my family and ordered the Peri Peri haddock with the Bombay Chips. It's a little on the more expensive side however the amount of food you get is great, and the taste goes very well together. Fish and Chips with a little spice. I'd definitely recommend this combo.

Called for take-out fish n chips and was very disappointed. The fish was translucent and completely tasteless, batter was absolutely saturated and dripping with oil, chips had a lot of eyes and scabby bits on them. Nice boxes and paper bag though.

I ordered fish and chips and at £6.50 I thought they had better be good. Well the portion was good but the quality was poor lots of chips over whelmed by the take of tired oil and a large fish which was mainly soggy batter very thin fish ate half then binned em they should visit jolts of Nelson to remind themselves of the standards they had

Usually go to Banny's in Colne, thought we try the drive through in Burnley, Great idea! We had haddock, large chips onion rings, sausage, gravy and mushy peas. All were fab, fish was nice and crispy, onion rings were fabulous. Definitely go back again.

After reading the reviews I was really looking forward to Bannys fish and chips. The place was reasonably busy with a long line of cars for the drive-thru. I ordered haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy. The member of staff was polite and friendly however the fish was awful! It was all batter ! It was cold and after opening the extremely hard batter the fish was about 1/3 smaller than the batter shell. The chips were not evenly cooked, some were soft, others were hard and under cooked. The peas and gravy were fine. Next time I’ll try a different fish and chip shop when I visit.

Always great fish & chips However this was the first time I have used the takeaway. They serve food in Cardboard boxes & paper bags if needed.. wish all takeaways did this. Well done Bannys

We went because we had been recommended this was super Fish and Chips in a very attractive llarge restaurant called Banny's with an attractive nautical atmosphere. It was excellent . I think they serve the best Haddock money can buy - it was just delicious with nicely cooked chips and of course with a generous portion of mushy peas . And we enjoyed a refreshing drink of Tea. All severed by excellent staff . Lots of Car Parking right by the Banny's Restaurant - part of Boundary Mill. So can pop in to Banny's after shopping at Boundary Mill - next to the far east end of the M65.. So easy to get to from all over East Lancashire..
