Bizzie Lizzie's - Swadford Street in Craven

Arrive Saturday 5.30. Went for tea and on arrival staff attitude appalling.as we had waited to be seated in an almost empty restaurant ! The waitress said wait a minute !, Ordered regular fish and chips for two. Food arrived one portion looked acceptable the other was unacceptable, no one approached to ask if satisfactory I picked at my portion that was burnt underneath and the fish was nothing more than crozzled scaley end of tail piece of fish. That was basically inedible which should been binned . No staff members came to table the whole time we were there. So I did my best to eat 1/3 ! Eventually I had to wave to get attention and when I explained the waitress said oh and wandered off ! After another wait we approach the till to be told they were deducting the tea x2. I am happy to pay for food that is good, however on this occasion a deduction of a pot of tea for two was disappointing and inappropriate. We paid and left, never to return . Would not recommend, extremely over priced and the service atrocious. They seriously need to look at their competitors in Yorkshire, no wonder the place is empty on a Saturday evening. ,

Thought we would treat ourselves with a chippy tea while visiting skipton. The place itself is very clean, and went at 5.30, so not busy. Lots of staff floating about I had chips peas and fish cake Husband had chips sausage and curry. Sauces come in pots and they brought us a gravy we didn't order, ask for ,but were charged for. My fish cake was chunks of fish, in over battered over cooked batter. Which didn't come with hammer and chisel, so it was left. Over priced, rubbish food Although the curry sauce was nice. Save your money.

Honesty don’t waist your money. £28 for 4 people I wish I had of saved the money and gone else where. Peas were to dry to be mushy Gravy and curry sauce salty and unsure how you can they the wrong We will not be going back

Another lovely visit to a wonderful traditional English restaurant. Paul our waiter is an absolute delight! Spotlessly clean restaurant, a joy. Many thanks! Kit and Jim

Disappointing, uninterested staff, mistake after mistake made, slow service, young lad taking orders & two girls sat on the floor by the drinks fridges for some bizarre reason. There was no background music, the place was eerily quiet, hardly anyone in, strange atmosphere, not sure if there is normally music or a radio on. It all seemed weird, and the service really poor, which is a shame as we have had great visits previously. I wish we hadn’t bothered.

We went here for my father-in-law’s 90th birthday celebration (after a canal trip) and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or efficient. We were able to pre-order which made things much easier as there were 20 of us! All the food was excellent and the restaurant was spotless. Would highly recommend!

Order soup to start and brown bread main course jack potato and chill waiting 20 minutes Arrived with my jacket potato and chilli I asked about the soup she says if you have this now I will bring the soup after you finished your main course I put it in the hot oven.Need some training on sevice bit like faulty towers

We came here for some chips from the takeout while visiting Skipton, I ordered first, 3 people after me got their food before me and then when I got the chips it was a very small portion for a regular. Quite pricey for the amount

Proper fish n chips as it should be! Fresh cooked fish & hand cut chips for two, bread n butter, 1x peas, 1x curry sauce weighed in at about £38 including tip, but the place is spotless, staff lovely, and it’s a great place to visit overall

I have to be really in the mood for fish & chips as I usually find them quite dry. We popped in while in skipton with my 7 year old nephew. Service was lovely, restaurant was lovely. I ordered cod and I can hands down say it was the best I’ve ever had! Freshly cooked, not dried out at all and a lovely crisp batter! My nephew loved his fish goujons and finished his whole dish. I’m planning on going back again next week when I have family visiting!

Been many times,it's not the place it used to be. Ordered 2 Jumbo fish& chips,curry sauce snd mushy peas. Fish far from jumbo size,very small and overcooked fish,dreadful dark brown batter,not golden as shown on the menu,had to send it back. The chips were soggy,cold, and full of fragments of chips. Peas were cold.The fish was replaced but far from jumbo. We won't return.

Thought we would treat ourselves to a mid afternoon snack in the form of chips and gravy. Got two portions of each and found a nice quiet spot to eat. Couldn’t pick the chips up with a fork as they kept breaking, gravy was a tad lumpy and our little boy wouldn’t eat them which is unusual for him. At £11.50 it’s an expensive snack.

Awful food and poor customer service. Ordered Plaice which was hard and tasteless. It looked to be cheap supermarket fish which was inedible. I brought this to attention of staff who brushed off my complaint and refused to do anything at all. The fish covering, allegedly breadcrumb, was too hard to eat. Overall not a venue to recommend at all.

Disappointed with the quality of takeaway. Chips & fish not freshly cooked, chips dry and rubbery fish just about warm.

Very disappointed with the quality, portion size and price. Ordered the large fish could not tell the difference to the standard fish. Our meals were very dry and a tiny portion of peas. 55 pounds for 3x fish and chips with a brew not impressed. Staff were friendly and helpful on the plus side.

Had takeaway fish and chips. They were expensive and luke warm. The chips were tasteless and the fish was dry and tasteless. The luke warm tasteless fish was also quite small Will not visit Bizzie Lizzie's again. Very disappointed

Lovely staff and great cod and chips. Friendly and engaging to make sure everything is fine. Always a joy to visit when in the Dales.

On Monday we Called in. It was not busy. The food was very nice and tasty. I had a Starter and a main. The only down side to our visit was the long wait. so its 4 out of 5 i can give it.

Awful plaice. Obviously not fresh just supermarket boxed type. Staff unhelpful in dealing with complaint. Not recommended

On arrival we seated ourselves, after 5 mins we placed our order, one breaded plaice and chips the other battered plaice and chips with a cup of tea and a glass of water. Everyone around us were brought their food before us even though we placed our order before them. After 15 minutes a staff member approached us and said they had done our order wrong so it would be another 5 minutes. After 10 minutes out food eventually arrived. We had waited 30 minutes from ordering to food arriving. When paying we were asked if everything was ok on which I replied no as we had waited so long . A gesture was given that we got our drinks free wow a cup of tea and a glass of water. We will not be returning.

Visited with my husband and mum, food was beautiful and the waiting on staff were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.

Haven't eaten here for a few years so visited today, Wednesday 6th December, on a rare weekday day out with my husband. Was lovely & warm inside Bizzie Lizzies on a freezing cold but sunny day & we chose to sit in the window overlooking the picturesque canal. We both had the lunchtime favourite cod & chips, with included bread and butter for £12.95, plus 1 portion of beans & also a lovely pot of tea for 2. It was piping hot, the fish was very white & tasty & the batter was delicious, the chips were plentiful & spot on. We both enjoyed it very much & the waitress was very pleasant too. We would definitely recommend it to everyone & would visit again.

Lovely. We had fish & chips and fishcake & chips, both were really nice. Well cooked, generous portions and reasonably priced. The fishcake was really unusual, never had one like it. Not what I was expecting but I really liked it, would definitely order again (and I get why they sell out quick). I've been to both branches and this one is consistently the better of the two. One of our favourite chippies.

Wife and I went to the restaurant tonight. Could not fault anything ! The staff were all very helpful and friendly - particularly as my wife is a coeliac. The waitress ( Anisha ?) was extremely attentive and is an absolute asset to the business. Food was excellent - being served hot - and everything was very tasty. Generous portions and very competitive prices. Would highly recommend and will definitely return next time we are in Skipton.

Went here for lunch, they do a chilli in a Yorkshire pudding and also a veggie chilli, when I asked if I could have veggie chilli in Yorkshire pudding I had to listen to a conversation slagging it off so when confronted them they basically said I’d have to pay for the meat chilli in Yorkshire pudding and a veggie chilli, I didn’t see a problem with them just putting the veggie chilli in the Yorkshire pudding and would of paid the same price, not very accommodating and got made to feel awful because of the conversation that was held right in front of me, in hindsight I should of walked out!!

Went with 2 friends I ordered lightly battered fish with half a portion of chips, my friends both ordered fish and chips. We were shocked at the small size of the fish when it was served, we thought we must have been served a pensioners portion but when the bill came it was charged at full price. Needless to say we won't be going there again. £13.90 for a portion half the size of comparable fish restaurants. Extortionate!!

What a disgrace! I visited on a Saturday evening and ordered Cod & Chips. I was the only person in the take away area, and was served very quickly. My problem is the portion size. Despite being served in what appeared to be a large polystyrene container, you only realise later that the lid is about twice as deep as the bottom. Therefore, the portion of chips was miniscule. You don't even really notice this until later when you sit down to eat. The chips ere also covered by the piece of fish, so it was even harder to see how many you get. The fish was not big either. To be fair, everything tasted really good but I finished what should have been a large filling evening meal, and was still hungry. Previous reviewers complain about the price, but even though I had to pay above the odds at £8.30 for this portion, that would have been fine if I had got a decent portion of food. This meal was an absolute rip off. I'm not sure who Lizzie is but I do know that she is busy ripping off customers with a tactical decision to use these particular containers for take away food. It really is these types of businesses that get other good ones such a bad name. I will never be back - the people of Skipton deserve a better fairer chip shop.

To be fair the food is good,although portion size has reduced,but my main gripe is the price.Highly overpriced and we had to ask for our order to be taken after waiting ten minutes,then it came incomplete.Really not what it used to be, unfortunately will be giving it a miss in future.

Called in for fish and chips as been before and well was disappointed jumbo fish and chips and a small portion and my wife’s gluten free fish and chips was a very thick battered fish. Staff were slow and not atentive we wanted gluten free...

This used to be a great fish and chip shop so, as we were passing last week, we decided to have fish and chips in the car. They were awful tasting chips so were mostly discarded. The fish, supposedly cod, were two thin tail ends...

Nice chippy. Used to be excellent but it's slipped a bit. Portions are loads smaller than they were and they always seem to forget something in the order. Tastes like they've swapped to veg oil instead of dripping too. It's an OK chippy, nowhere near...

Just arrived in Skipton today. Decided to go to this highly recommended chippy. We walked in at 7.45pm. Staff member snappy and dismissive. She was a small girl with glasses who clearly does not want her job. After ordering a fish she said is that...

I always visit here , the pensioners special is just right for us it includes a sweet so we get ginger sponge and custard will be back soon

We pop in to sit down around once a month as my wife loves the option of half salad. It’s a Friday teatime and always fairly quiet and quick service… Despite at least four staff we had to call them to take our order after...

Fish was over cooked and dry. And very expensive too. Have been in previous months and was always top notch. Had a few bad meals now. Won't be returning for a while.

Everything about this visit was excellent - our server -Charlotte, was very pleasant and efficient. We both had fish and chips - the fish was moist and succulent the batter crisp and light . The chips were delicious- I had no complaints ! Thank you...

On a recent visit to Skipton we went to Bizzie Lizzies for lunch. We both had the senior citizens special Pat had fish and salad and I had fish and chips-both excellent. I had the ginger sponge and ice cream and Pat just ice cream....

Fantastic fish and chips at Bizzie Lizzie's, exemplary standards for gluten free, and they charge the same price for GF. Delicious food, brilliant customer service, a must-visit place!

On a day trip here and just had the most amazing food here. Was recommended to us earlier today by an older local gentleman and I would fully recommend it to anyone wanting to eat, especially if near the boat trips on the canal. View...

Very good Fish and Chips. Really Fresh Fish...... Brilliant White Flakes that fall apart easily. Efficient Service. Very clean Restaurant.

The chip shop fries in beef batter. Called to check if the fish and chip shop would cook in vegetable oil, and they told us it was fine. Asked about the availability of a cheese pie - and yes, they did. At 4pm, rang to...

Nice chips. Enjoyed. Friendly staff. Take out chips. Paid cash. Wooden fork, serviettes. Serve yourself, salt and vinegar. The car park one. Been before, will go again. Decent portion of chips.

Wonderful friendly atmosphere and lovely food. Highly recommend. Especially for any ceoliacs looking for a great gluten free selection and guarantee that it is safe.

Charged nearly £9 for 2 portions of chips and told we weren’t allowed to use the toilet facilities as they were for restaurant customers upstairs only. Looked into the restaurant and there was barely a soul in there … Was our custom not enough to...

Fancied treating ourselves to a nice little hot snack for lunch so decided on 2 x portions of chips with gravy. Had a mild coronary when I was charged the princely sum of £8.65!! That's right, nearly 9 quid for chips and gravy. Having regained...

Very disappointed. On being seated was appalled at the dire state of the table. It was set up for dining with filthy cutlery and crockery. Indeed one set of cutlery was stuck to the napkin. The waitress apologized and replaced with clean but In these...

We were a little disapointed with our meal as this was a returning visit after a couple of years. Sadly to say not as good from when we went before.

Great fish and chips and mushy peas. All in my group enjoyed their fish and chips. Had take away and sat by the canal side to enjoy them. Great value and delicious. Followed this by a couple of beers in the Boatman. Top notch all...

Birthday lunch out with my elderly parents. Never disappointed here and fish, chips, mushy peas and desserts enjoyed by all of us. Very friendly and helpful staff, we will be back soon!

Absolutely digusted to watch a member of staff touch their mouth and nose,then handle food without washing their hands. Not acceptable in the food industry. The member of staff this was mentioned to couldn't care less. Disgusting behaviour

We normally go to Westmoreland Fisheries in Skipton but they were closed for a week, so we decided to try Bizzie Lizzies, I don't know if the oil was rancid but the fish and chips were minging, the batter was dark and hard and the...

This review is going to be short and simple, Bizzie Lizzies is, in my opinion the best takeaway and fish restaurant in Skipton.I'm a bit of a fish and chip officianado having eaten here many times over the years. The restaurant is modern and very...

Best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Food came out quickly. Staff were very friendly and polite.

We always eat here when we visit and the food tastes great ,we take advantage of the pensioners special which includes bread and butter tea and a sweet but as the name suggests Lizzie's was busy and the waiting time was a bit longer than...

I had lunch here today, and was really disappointed with the food. The fish was greasy, with too much batter, and very little flavour. It tasted as if it had been brought in already battered, and frozen, then tossed in the deep fryer.

A lovely treat. Food is cooked fresh to order. Can highly recommend the Yorkshire fish cake and chips which were gorgeous. Friendly staff too.

Lovely restaurant with great service, Proper Yorkshire fish and chips cooked in beef dripping, good portions and plenty of options, batter was so light and crispy 👌

Called in for fish and chips with the family my wife is gluten free and they are very gluten free friendly fish and chips lovely great service and food was well cooked opted for the large haddock and it was a good size we all...

We are always very eager to eat here, the fish and chips rank amongst the best available, anywhere. Beautifully lightly battered fish and crisp fluffy chips. The restaurant was fairly quiet today and the waiting staff were very friendly and chatty. Food arrived in very...

Terrible from start to finish.Dined on Sunday evening we were 2 couples.Ordered fish and chips 4 times .Tea bread and butter.The 4 meals arrived after quite a delay but the chips and peas were cold. Called the waitress over to tell her thy needed warming...

Seated straight away in the restaurant :) but after 45 minutes we had to ask where our food was. We were told that it was busy (there were only 4 tables occupied & apparently we were a big table ... 7 adults and 1 child)....

Mystified at the negative reviews. We visited in January, and again in April. In January they were clearly struggling with staff shortages - as many places experience these days, but on both occasions the fish & chip experience was as good as ever. OK, portions...

The Best Chip shop in Skipton, anytime we are visiting Skipton we always go to Bizzie Lizzie's for Chips gravy & Batter scraps, as it is absolutely gorgeous and well worth a trip anytime.

This was undoubtedly the worst Fish and Chip Restaurant I have ever been to. The waitress was incapable of taking an order. It took half an hour to explain the most basic order. The batter was 2 inch thick with very little fish. Everyone felt...

Excellent food and customer service. Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout. Would go again recommended. Keep up the good work

This place used to be the best, we always came here every time we came to Skipton. We came before Christmas and it was terrible, but we thought that was a one-off, so we came yesterday, and I’m afraid to say we won’t be back....

Been here many times before normally excellent food however on today's visit the chips were soggy and appeared to be possible reheats. The fish was much smaller than usual , For the same price could have got a good pub meal. Staff asked when paying...

Very disappointing. Previous visits have been outstanding. We had stale, luke warm chips. The lightly done batter was dark coloured and lacked texture and flavour. For an increased price, I would expect continued top quality cookery. Mistakes by new staff are forgiven.

Purchased 2 take aways , chips and small curry sauces they tasted descent, and they didn’t skimp on the chips, the servers were polite and friendly, but just a bit over priced at £8.30 for two

I went in with my partner and children to celebrate my oldest daughter birthday to which she turned 12 years old today 18/02/2023..and i was absolutely gobsmacked to be accused to be a liar that my daughter wasn't 12 year old and that I was...

Outstanding service, delicious food and extremely reasonably priced. Never fails to be an outstanding experience. Thank you x

Excellent food once again. We always have the senior citizens special and choose to have half chips, half salad with the cod. The staff are always delightful and friendly. We travel a 60 mile round trip for our fish and chips and we have never...

Menu is really clearly labelled for intolerances. Gluten intolerant people and coeliacs are very well catered for here. Gluten free fish & chips cooked in a separate fryer, mushy peas and gluten free vinegar. Absolutely delicious batter and huge portion. My family all enjoyed their...

What’s happened? Have eaten here, sit in or takeaway many times. On this last occasion the fish and chips were very, very ordinary. Also the portion size was much reduced. Don’t think I’ll bother next time.

Been walking in the area. Spotted this restaurant on way round. 3 of us decided chip and fish for us. Greeted on entry gave us time to read and discuss menu. Plus my brother wanted to be advised on the specials board. Lady took our...

Just had a takeaway chips to make some sandwiches and they were the worst chips I have ever tasted they were greasy and rubbery made me feel quite sick they ended up in the bin

Have been to bizzie Lizzie's when ever we come up north and always been happy - unfortunately we won't be coming again. Food was cold and greasy, the staff are clearly unhappy, making comments about one another in front of the customers, they look miserable...

Not been for a while, will not return. Disorganised staff, dreadful food, order incomplete. To say this place has gone downhill is an understatement.

When entering Bizzie Lizzie’s we waited for about 5 minutes before anyone greeted us and showed us to our table. The waitress she’ll be back in a minute to take our order. Just over 10 minutes went by and she eventually came. When our food...

Service was great and staff were friendly. My wife had fish and chips I had fish with the salad. Fish was lovely but batter was soft and slightly greasy. Chips were not very warm. Salad was excellent, but crying out for a decent dressing rather...

Love wasting my break walking back and forth for mo reason due to inability to use correct signage. Go to the one at the big car park, chips aren’t vegan. Sign saying can get them cooked in sunflower oil at the other location. So schlep...

Been here many of time and always been to high standards.last couple of times terrible. Chips was hard and mushy peas fish was rubbery and the batter was like yorkshire pudding in the middle. And at the prices for the portion sizes we won't be...

Terrible service, staff more interested in messing about than working. Had to go up and ask twice to place my order. Ran out of curry sauce… Wrong drinks delivered. Food was ok.

Just generally rude staff not that organised, food was served fast which was good however it seemed slimy and the batter was not cooked well. Staff making looks at each other and making remarks while serving their customers. Won’t come again!!

Ordered and paid for fish and chips, and when I got back to where we were staying, turns out they'd forgotten the fish! I did eventually get it on return, and in fairness it was good fish. Chips, peas and curry sauce were more run...

very good food, and lovely staff however one woman (seemed like a manager i believe?) came over and was very rude asking us to put away drinks we had brought. now, i understand to an extent but me and my friend are students with limited...

Really good food and Kim was a really good waitress and there is a wide variety of food in the restaurant

We received a recommendation from 3 separate friends for this place and we weren't disappointed. Lovely fish and chips, really welcoming staff and lovely desserts

We visited at around 7pm on a Friday evening. We went to the restaurant side rather than the takeaway in the hope of getting a decent meal eaten in slow time. To be honest, with the benefit of hindsight we should have gone to the...

Our first time here....and will DEFINITELY return to try out further dishes on the menu. We'd had a wonderful day walking round Skipton, the market, Ancient woodland and the canal walks feeding swans and ducks, absolutely captivating....and we were hungry after our shopping nd walking....

I came to this fish & chips takeaway on Friday the 26th August 2022 , the one on the side of the canal. The fish batter was awful & not fully cooked it was that thick... the fish inside wasn't to bad, I got a...

We ate in the very clean and pleasant restaurant and were served by very friendly staff. Take away is also available

We stopped in for lunch in the restaurant whilst visiting Skipton and were really impressed with the food and the service! I don't normally write reviews but we had such a lovely lunch, I wanted to recommend to others. The food was delicious and the...

Amazing chips with scraps, we are from Oldham so we don’t get scraps very often. They were beautiful and really nice quality chip. Didn’t purchase anything else so can’t comment on fish etc. young lad serving us looked very nervous though 😊

Lovely food, real spot for locals and good home style British comfort foods. Service was really good, the manager was lovely. Really nice chips and beer.

We took our family to Skipton for a day out as they live north of the border and had never visited Skipton before. We decided to have a fish and chip lunch at this restaurant and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our...

Visited as looked nice and presentable. The restaurant was clean and bright and the staff attentive. However the food was so slow arriving. And when it did it was very mediocre. I ordered the chilli and chips and the chilli could easily have come from...

I have visited the shop on 4 occasions with a group of 10 people for fish and chips to be cooked in sunflower oil however on each visit I always get the same excuse we don't have staff or staff are not trained up, I...
