I got a fish and chips on a Friday afternoon at 1:30PM and I was charged £11.50 for the meal, the flavours were fine but I got a thin fish and 7 chips like I know we’re in a cost of living crisis but 7 chips! Also the lady at the counter was not the nicest person and this was at the Dib lane branch

Fabuloso Fish & Chips hoy de la sucursal de Dib Lane. Hermosa pieza de pescado, muy carnoso, perfectamente cocinado. Bonita masa crujiente y sabrosas patatas fritas

Really pleasant staff and clean shop but unfortunately that's where the positives end...shockingly small portions of distinctly average fish and chips. Curry sauce was so watered down it barely had a taste. Fish wasn't the flaky white haddock I'd hoped for, instead it was grey and overcooked. Really disappointed for the money I paid. I've had far bigger and far better portions for far less money. Unfortunately I wouldn't return

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and disgust with the recent meal my family and I received. The fish portion was shockingly small—barely larger than a butter knife. This is absolutely unacceptable. While I understand the balance between cost and quality, and although the fish was nice, the portion size was completely inadequate, leaving my family and me still hungry. This experience has soured our opinion of your establishment, and I regret to say that you have lost us as returning customers. Additionally, after reading other reviews, it appears you claim to weigh each cut of fish. Can you please explain what this weight is and how such a minuscule portion could be considered acceptable? Response to your reply. This seems to be a common occurrence across all branches. I don’t believe this is a one off

Le escribo para expresar mi profunda decepción y disgusto con la reciente comida que mi familia y yo recibimos. La porción de pescado era sorprendentemente pequeña, apenas más grande que un cuchillo de mantequilla. Esto es absolutamente inaceptable. Si bien entiendo el equilibrio entre costo y calidad, y aunque el pescado era agradable, el tamaño de la porción era completamente inadecuado, dejándonos a mi familia y a mí todavía con hambre. Esta experiencia ha amargado nuestra opinión sobre su establecimiento, y lamento decir que nos ha perdido como clientes que regresan. Además, después de leer otros comentarios, parece que afirma pesar cada corte de pescado. ¿Puede explicarnos qué significa esto y cómo una porción tan minúscula podría considerarse aceptable?

The food, staff and shop are all lovely. Unfortunately like everywhere the price has gone up, and the portion sizes have gone down. I've just unwrapped my meal and the fish a lot smaller, and hardly any chips. It was the same lovely quality, but I was taken aback by the smaller size.

We found the Dib Lane branch just before Christmas and we’re now weekly visitors. The service is good and the young man cooking the food knows his stuff as everything is cooked just so. I don’t know how he does it but the batter on the fish is always crisp but the fish isn’t dried up at the ends, as you often get elsewhere. One major bonus as far as I’m concerned is that they use dripping here for frying instead of flavourless oil. It makes a big difference to the overall taste.

I know the price of fish, potatoes and oil has gone up and these guys are trying to keep their prices down but the last couple of fish I got from here looked like they had starved to death. Tried to order a special or a fish cake to compensate knowing the fish was small but they had run out.

for money is rubbish. £3.50 for large chips that were anything but large and were soggy and old. I get times are hard for businesses but they are for working people too and so I hate when you get fleeced for something as basic as potatoes. Not wasting money here again.

Used to really love this place, however, the last few times I've visited the fish has been the smallest portion and is mostly made up of grease. There is no crunch to the batter, and the portions sizes are inconsistent, my fish was what I would expect for £9, my partners however, I think they must have given him a child fish, that or they had spare lunch time specials they needed rid of. Said I wouldn't go back after the last time, but this time i mean it. I will take my business elsewhere for my weekly fish and chips. Think some of the staff have lost their drive to deliver quality food.

Really good fish and chips, fish cakes,fish bits for children who wont eat a full portion. Ate haddock and chips at the Magpie at Whitby last week and they were 3 times the price and half as good as Captain Thornton's. Must be the cleanest chip shop in England. A pleasure to buy there. Five years later, post COVID and I'm back again. Nothing much has changed..that is still excellent haddock and chips... we've eaten fish and chips in Sunderland, Newcastle, Staithes and Whitby and this Capt Thornton's is the best.

Ordered through Uber Eats, picked up myself. Quality is OK, fresh with reasonably crispy batter on the fish. But these have got to be the smallest portions of fish in North Leeds. Try Frydays or Portside, at least a third more for your money.

If this review had been made 6 or 8 months ago then I'd given it a 5 stars. Never had a bad meal from these champs. OK the prices have gone up, which is expected as C.O.L.C has taken its toll. But why has the quality and quantity been dropped? I can't help but feel unsatisfactory about the meal I've had. Just not the same quality and quantity. I'm not begrudging the portion size but I more concerned about the quality. Prices have gone up but its unjustified to cut quality and reduce the quantity too. From a 5 to a 3. Still a good chippy. Nothing in the area to compete with so no pressure. Make sure you ask for slate and vinger as its seldom offered before its wrapped up.

The fish, batter and chips were excellent quality and VERY tasty but...the size of the fish was seriously unbelievable! One end measured about two centimeters and the other about five! The tiniest fish we have EVER been served! And at £20.20 for twice and two small peas, we were VERY disappointed. Bought from here for twenty years...but will certainly think twice prior to returning. We were too tired to photograph or return (hence the takeaway meal!), but the fish was intentionally placed in those boxes blatantly without conscience. Hard times for all yes, but the way to lose custom. Such a shame.

Firstly, must say - the Fish & Chips are always nice, without fail. However, in past few months, fish have become notably smaller than they were previously, still nice though, so we usually buy twice a week, sometimes more. As they recently increased their prices (again! - 2nd increase in 12 months), I looked at what the price was 12 months ago. My order (which hasn’t changed), was £11.60 in July 2021 - Now, the same order, albeit with smaller fish, costs £16.05! That’s a 38% increase on this time last year, even though the portions are smaller. I’m aware that we all have cost of living issues, and that inflation is fast approaching 10%, but a 38% increase is extortionate. As such, we’ll go elsewhere from now on. Nice fish, good service, nice staff, but becoming a rip off…Now more expensive than Murgatroyds, even though their fish are twice the size and just as tasty!

Spent £6 on small fish and chips but needed a small ketchup for 35p. I only had 25p in change and a couple of £20 notes that I didn’t want to break for the sake of 10p. When I asked if they could let me off 10p for the ketchup the woman at the counter refused which was a big surprise seen as I just spent £6. Fish and chips were also nothing special, curry sauce was watery and smelled strange.

This is usually the best fish n chip shop in Leeds imho, but very disappointed in my last visit. 20 minutes wait for the order to be cooked/served. I get cooking to order/reducing waste etc but this was at 5.30pm. I could understand if it’s near to closing time but this is a very busy shop so I’d have expected them to be more prepared. The fish was delicious as usual but looked like a battered sausage, totally cylindrical, all 5 fish were like this. The chips were hot but very pale and soft. It wasn’t the usual fryer (think he must be working at the new Chapel A shop), so hopefully things will improve by my next visit.

Some of the best fish and chips I've ever had - and that's including those that seem to taste better when you're by the coast. I'm not really a fish-in-batter lover, they don't sell pies so I tried the fish and I'm so glad I did. Freshly cooked while you wait, tastes amazing. A limited menu but what's on it comes highly recommended by me.

Captain Thorntons recently opened a branch in Chapel Allerton, Leeds7, home to many overpriced and pretentious eateries, so I was astounded by the quality, value and quantity, and have gone there regularly since. A large, thick, superfresh haddock in a light crisp batter, cooked freshly to perfection, perfect light brown chips, slightly crispy on the outside, generous portion served by a delightful young team who genuinely like their customers- what's not to like. A lifetime connoisseur of the delightful dish, I cannot remember when I found a better takeaway meal. I'm hooked on their fish!

"Consistently OK" is probably my best summary, they're in no way bad but also not exceptional. Portion sizes aren't very generous. What they are is consistently the same which is presumably why they win the awards they do. Reliably average fish and chips at around £10 each with a side as part of their meal deal.
