Crakeside Fish & Chips in South Lakeland

Lovely fish freshly cooked, and nice chips. Does get busy at times, and you have a buzzer and wait outside. Friendly staff. Will be back

4 x Fish and Chips, Curry sauce and a Sausage cooked to order. Tasty and fresh. The Sausage was even cut up for my Dog. Recommended!

Out of 3 visits, we have had frozen chips and soggy undercooked batter on the fish twice. Complete rip off. Could at least let customers know that they are giving you frozen chips. No consistency as the last visit they were proper chipy chips and the fish well cooked. Take your chances but will not be returning. You get better consistency at the pub!!!!! Would upload a picture but they are now in the bin. £30 of rubbish and all we ate was the fish inside the batter.

This used to be a really good fish and chip shop but goodness knows what has happened. Called in for chips recently. Paid £6 for two small portions of chips and they were awful. The proprietors are clearly buying frozen chips rather than using potatoes Come on, frozen chips are for a quick option at home not what you expect from a chippy. Will NOT be calling in again.

We used to love coming here for fish n chips but we won't be coming again. They forgot the peas which we paid for. The portions were very small especially chips. The batter on the fish was burnt. We asked for just salt and got vinegar too which i dislike. Also for what you got it was very over priced.

Called in here on way home from a poor local stay in a nearby hotel, hoping it would cheer us up a little. It did not. Soggy batter on the fish and was no where near cooked. Chips was so over cooked they harbored half the frying oil. Never will be back, sorry its very poor.

Came and got 4 fish and chips and 1 sausage and chips it came to £46, after paying this I would have expected a decent size portion instead we were met with a small sized meal. The fish batter wasn’t cooked and tasted very doughy. Hardly any chips. As locals we are very disappointed.

Absolutely wonderful fish and chips, I have been to others local but not a match on crake side… I will be back

Ordered lightly battered fish and chips plus a pudding chips and gravy. Had to wait for a good 20 mins, similar to everyone else. When they came there seemed to be no salt and vinegar on a requested. The chips were aweful - overcooked and hard. Seemed as though they were the end bits of cheap frozen chips. Hard. The gravy was ridiculously thick, almost solid! Beef pudding was nice.

Owner seems very rude to staff and customers. Food very average and expensive too. Not recommended

We're in the area and decided to pop in. It was £10 for some fish and chips, which I feel is pricey to begin with, and even worse once we saw what we got. Small fish in the worst thick soggy batter, and a really small handful of chips. I understand prices have risen and these need to be passed on to the consumer, but it was terrible value for money and terrible tasting. Very disappointed and won't be back sadly.

Absolutely disgusting What’s happened ??? Is it under new management ??? Fish and chips used to be amazing Fresh Haddock, WHAT A JOKE !!! Batter was burnt and rock hard with a slither of white fish inside, not even the length of the batter. Chips full of eyes . Seems to have got worse over the past year being a bit of a hit and miss all the time, but after last night that’s it . NEVER GOING AGAIN, such a shame it’s gone to RACK AND RUIN.

We live locally and always use Crakes as they used to be the best chip shop in the area but now they are appalling! The chips that we had today were clearly reheated from lunchtime:rock hard, cold and like a bit of concrete. The fish was no bigger than a match box in soggy batter! We will never go again and would definitely not recommend. £18.66 for terrible fish and chips, a sausage and 2 cokes! (Still using polystyrene boxes too!)

Absolutely delicious fish & chips served by friendly helpful staff. We found this little place by accident and very glad that we had got slightly lost on our first visit to The Lakes. Definitely recommend!

Called for fish and chips. Horrible small portions with thick batter and reheated chips. Way overpriced at £19 for two. Grim staff not friendly. Will never go back again.

Popped in a week or so ago for two fish suppers. Took ages to get meals as the locals were being served first. £19 bought two very small, mediocre portions of battered cod and a pile of so-so chips to bulk the packs out. Grim, miserable staff there who obviously can't bear strangers coming in and who put a right damper on our evening. Would sooner have a jam sandwich for dinner than visit this chippy again.

Delicious food & great service. We had haddock, chips & mushy peas and Sausage, chips & mushy peas. Piping hot & absolutely delicious. Our first visit & we’d definitely be back.

We always stop here when we are at our caravan and it is the best chippy I’ve been too! I would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon!

First time buying here. The portion was small for 9-50 (2-00 more than our local chippy) but it tasted pretty good. Friendlier interaction would have helped (I always expect a chippy to have a bit of banter) but this was very business-like and cold. It was a "needs must" situation so they got our business but I don't think I'll be recommending or rushing back. If they ever read these reviews - a genuine smile and a bit of appreciation for customers would go a long way to improving the perception of this plaice (see what I did there?) But they are in a situation where they don't need repeat custom on a regular basis so they can be as "functional" as they need to be - this trade to them is not a passion but a business and my observations won't change anything but it is cathartic to express them :-)

I had a great meal... from an Ulverston family-run chippy nearly an hour after I arrived at Crakeside! What happened? Crakeside used to be OK. It is a casualty of the plague years. Yes, the service was always rude (that hasn't changed) but at least it was honest and moderately priced. Now it is £10 for single fish & chips. This visit fish was dangerously undercooked, with half missing, looked like it had been dropped on the floor. Fat in fryer was so dirty it had black bits all over the chips. The blonde thought they had been sprinkled with pepper! And battered sausage was fatty and bland. Staff agreed to make an adjustment for allergens, then didn't do it, but lied to my face. Do not eat here if you have any sort of food sensitivity or allergy. Between the poor food hygiene and terrible service it is a trip to Casualty waiting to happen.

Called in here with my family after several recommendations. Staff friendly. Love the retro pager system! Food was of a high standard. Excellent!

Fish and chips is now £9.50 so I would have expected it to be cooked well. Fish batter and chips were hard. I even left some of my chips as they weren’t pleasant. I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Lovely fresh food, we had fish and chips and the battered sausage. We are here twice whilst away on holiday.

Staying a few miles away on holiday - and the number of people waiting seemed a good sign. Everything is only cooked to order, so you order, pay and get given a bleeper for when it is ready. Probably waited about 10 minutes on a...

Stopped off on our way home from a dive at coniston, on arrival there were hoards of people out side (looking promising). After placeing my order I was given a beeper, it took that long for my order to arrive I had to change the...

I'm writing this review almost a year after actually coming here (we went here twice over a one week holiday in the area). The simple fact that I'm still thinking about this place hopefully tells it's own story, but to cut to the bottom line,...

Fish chips twice with peas and beans £22 . One bite and it went in the bin , fat oozed from the batter ( and basically it was just batter as hardly any fish in there) , chips not tasty at all . We both...

Had been before and was looking forward to dinner there, ordered fish peas and curry, sausage and chips with can of coke and cappuccino, came to just over £16.00, the fish was either overcooked or had been in a cupboard for a week and warmed...

All of the fish is cooked to order and our meal was perfect- crispy, light batter, the freshest of fish in big portions, the best curry sauce ever and great chips, too. We live up in the mountains of the Lake District and Crakeside is...

Visited today after doing a local walk, car park was busy but got parked with no problem. Food ordered and given a buzzer to let us know when to collect food. Was really busy with lots of local workers. Waited about 20 minutes but plenty...

Bought supper for 9. Very expensive. £8.50 for fish and chips. Batter was soggy and full of grease. Pie looked like a Frisbee. Fish cake was tasteless. Don't waste your time and money!

Fantastic fish, chips and curry sauce. Fresh fish, crispy batter and generous portion of chips. Fruity curry sauce. Good price. Lovely friendly service. Would recommend and next time we’re on holiday here we would visit again. Thank you.

Always loved the fish and chips here. Great portion and well cooked. Today, was shocked at the price increase to £10.10 for fish, chips & curry sauce. I’m afraid at that price I can’t afford to buy them anymore. What a shame.

Fish, chips and curry £10.10 really???!!! For 4 it cost us £40.40. Always was a favourite of ours, but no more not at that price.

Greasy and poor service. Closed early when i got there, person inside didn't even acknowledge me. Poor

Such a good chippy tea. Great quality fish and chips, batter crispy and fresh, chips lovely too. Would recommend battered black pudding and battered sausages. Absolutely delicious! Plus really fast service (even on a Friday night) and friendly staff.

Called in on Saturday for fish and chips for the family . The woman who served us was rude and when we got our order home and unwrapped she had missed off mushy peas we had been charged for. The fish and chips were not...

Looked forward to Friday night fish and chips and traveled 10 miles to get them. The chips must have been cooked last week and reheated over and over again until they were like glass. They were completely inedible and ruined the whole thing. Prices are...

Stopped here for lunch bank holiday Monday, two adults two children £30 for fish and chips it just wasn't worth the money, and they didn't even bother to put napkins In the bag, wouldn't go here again

Whilst visiting the lakes on a Anniversary weekend away ,me and the wife got the urge for fish and chips. I searched on Google maps and found crakeside fish & chips and set on my way with around 14 miles to travel. On arrival I...

Tiny place serves a wide and varied menu. Very popular so expect to queue - they use a buzzer system and cook things freshly. I love the food and the wonderful family service and visit regularly.

Having owned a fish and chip shop for nearly 15 years I was expecting better. The batter on the fish is straight out of a packet, crispy on the outside but doughy on the inside. The Haddock didn't really taste of anything but the chips...

Fresh fish and chips. Electronic buzzer to hear when ready. Outdoor seating area. Fast and efficient service. Friendly staff

This was a really disappointing experience. Very unfriendly service on arrival and then missed the fish of the order. Quite a major mistake for a fish and chip shop. Will not ever use again!!!!!

Awful..... Half of the order was missing! Ordered 5 meals and not one was received correctly! 2 kids meals were missing the juice and sauce which I was charGed for, 2 sausage meals had no batter even though I asked for batteted sausages and the...

Best chips we’ve ever had! they were lovely. Fish and battered sausages really good too. Good value and great little place.

So looking forward to fish and chips tonight 6pm so disappointed. Batter undercooked on inside raw batter mix on fish. Had to remove the batter. Not usually like this.

Takeaway last Friday 18th June. Chips were cooked but soggy. Fish batter was oily. Portions of fish were small. The large was the size of my local chippy's small. Inedible.

Lovely fish & chips, nice staff. Chips were beautiful and well cooked, fish was big and cooked well. Best chippy I have been for a long time.

We have been using this chippy often before lockdown, so when we planned to go today I looked at the opening times and noticed the bad reviews, we got there at 12.30pm and it was packed, the fish and chips were lovely, service was great...

We stopped at greenodd on Monday night - we were trying to re-charge our cars battery which had caused our car to stop - rescue vehicle involved - so glad to see chippy open - ordered haddock adn chipe mushy pes and tartare sauce -...

My mums lockdown birthday so went for fish and chips and what a shambles. Ordered two fish and a large chips and mushy peas with salt and vinegar ... What I received was two broken up fish, chips and No mushy peas and NO salt and vinegar. Although still got charged for the peas even though not received! And the fish was so broken up i couldn't even tell how many fish were there. Won't be returning.

I visit this chippy regulalrly and have only ever received great fish and chips and the curry sauce is the best. Staff are polite and courteous. Very good covid measures in place. Theres parking and outside tables and seats too. Perfect after a motorcycle ride out around the lakes. Well Done Crakeside. I'll be back.Menu is on the wall and easy to read.

Both myself and my wife called in for fish and chips one with peas one with curry sauce.When we begin to eat to our horror the chips where like concrete and nearly chipped my teeth off, they were the worst chips I have ever had in my life, they had obviously been sat for God knows how many hours,the fact that they were still willing to sell them to us for me represents fraud as they knowingly sold us a product that was not fit for human consumption, the fish closely following behind being over cooked, the batter was nearly black and the fish was very small but what was left of it crumbled into tiny mush particles, the curry sauce was the lubricant of this horror show, even with the sauce on top of the burnt offerings that would normally make fish and chips softer however it didn't make a difference. I was still unable to bite through without damaging my teeth. The sauce itself was discusting and because I was so hungry i tried eating a bit of the fish which later returned to haunt me with stomach pains and upset belly I returned to the shop but was only offered more teath snapping chips. No thanks, as I suffer from anxiety I was not able to challenge them further other than to say please don't waste your money.

Drove an hour to get here & it was so worth it. Fish and Chips were excellent , big piece of fish which was beautifully cooked & excellent chips. Really friendly service and everything is cooked to order. Definitely the best Fish & Chips I’ve ever , I’ll be back as soon as I can !

This place is a disgrace? Rude owner and shocking food. Was offered a replacement for 1 fish. Owner demanded £4.50. When I refused and walked out he said”Go on f**k off”I’m sure the Lake District Tourist Board would be very proud of him. Save your money, the food is not worth £17 we paid!

Having recently arrived in our lodge two of our party was sent out for fish & chips. Order was taken and you were given a fob and asked to stand outside. Once order was ready the fob vibrated & flashed. Very good idea in these uncertain times. We all enjoyed our meal.

Tuvimos una mezcla del remolino Cumberland, pescado y patatas fritas. El remolino de Cumberland era hermoso, no era una salchicha falsa de ninguna manera. Las fichas también eran preciosas, pagamos mi tarjeta, lo cual fue genial. Te dan un temporizador de plástico blanco, por lo que cuando esperas afuera sonará un pitido y esto significa que puedes ir a recoger tu chippy muy buena idea, todos los pedidos se hacen frescos. ¡Vendré aquí de nuevo!

The fish was 90% batter and hardly any fish. Greasy too. The chips were poor. All in all,disgraceful.

Paramos aquí después de un día de pesca en la cercana Coniston. Sin duda, uno de los mejores tés chippy que he probado. El pescado era delicioso y estaba perfectamente preparado, las patatas fritas eran iguales y con unos guisantes blandos de gran sabor para una comida fabulosa. Definitivamente regresaré.

Ya he estado varias veces y no hay nada realmente malo con la comida, aunque la salsa era un poco picante para los niños en la visita más reciente. Sin embargo, prepárate para esperar, ya que puede llevar un tiempo conseguir tu comida. No había visitado antes de COVID, por lo que no estoy seguro de si esta es la norma o como resultado de los cambios que deben implementarse.

Stopped for fish and chips on our way to Manchester fantastic as always. Great customer service would highly recommend

Tuve que esperar 35 minutos para pescado y patatas fritas.Fish era espantoso. Recocido maltratado. 95% de masa y una pequeña cantidad de pescado.Ni siquiera lo suficiente como para hacer 1/2 dedo de pescado.A pesar de pedir sal y vinagre, las patatas fritas sabían a pimienta.Nunca regresare.Este lugar solía ser un bloque de baños.Hubiera sido mejor ir al baño.

¡Oh Dios mío, qué gran regalo!Ambos comimos pescado, patatas fritas y los guisantes blandos más sabrosos que he probado en mi vida. Podría haberme comido un plato de ellos.Esta es una gran joya.La masa del pescado también fue la masa más ligera y crujiente que he comido. Normalmente recojo el pescadofuera de la masa, pero no hoy. ¡Me comí hasta el último trozo!¡Incluso el bollo de pan que tenía mi esposo estaba tan fresco como puede ser Y correctamente untado con mantequilla!¡Valió la pena el viaje de ida y vuelta de 230 millas para conseguir el mejor pescado y patatas fritas que hemos comido!¡Gracias Crakeside Fish and Chips!

Hoy comimos pescado, papas fritas y guisantes para dos a un costo de más de 15. El pescado era del tamaño de un dedo de pescado, estaba demasiado cocido y estaba muy seco y la masa estaba tan dura que no podía comerlo, las patatas fritas estaban secas y picadas, los guisantes estaban bien. Estafa total y el tiempo de espera fue ridículo. Cuando los dueños anteriores lo tenían, la comida estaba deliciosa. No volveremos a ir allí.

We picked up fish and chips for lunch and can highly recommend Crakeside Fish and Chips. The fish was freshly cooked to order and was delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. Recommended!

Normally go a couple of times a month for fish and chips when working or passing through the area, however I won’t be going again after travelling from Egremont I headed towards the crakeside for my tea when I placed my order I was told they had run out of fish!!!!!! A fish and chip shop with no fish becomes a chip shop that can no longer be relied open, especially when you have to travel to it due to its remote location. Next time I will head into Ulverston where they have a couple of very nice and very reliable FISH and chip shops the crakeside has lost my business

Despite helpful and friendly service, all our 3 fish dinners were dry and the chips weren'y very nice either. Shame as we had been looking forward to eating there as often a queue outside. Had we opened our dinners outside I would have asked for a refund.

Really dry fish, overcooked burger, chips average, small portions - really disappointed. On holiday and whenever driving past noticed that it’s always busy, queues outside so thought it would be much better. Won’t be returning.

We were on our way to Ulverston for Fish and Chips but were all starving and saw this Chip shop on our way with big queues so decided to stop here. However, the closed sign was up and it was minutes from closing but they very kindly said they would still take our order.3 Haddock and Chips, Battered Sausage, Chicken Nuggets, curry sauce and mushy peas. All cooked to order and very nice.We have recently holidayed in Devon where the Fish and Chips were disgusting but these restored our faith in good Fish and Chips!Lovely batter, nice white fish and lovely chips.Also, good value. We will call here again next time we are in the area as we were so impressed.

Impromptu visit and amazed by quality, friendliness and Covid efficiency. Sat outside on a wooden bench with a tin of french wine from Porterage & Co and had a wonderful hour with my husband. You must try it. Well done both businesses for meeting the demands of your customers.

You would think for someone who relied on his customers would change his Web page to closed. Not open at 11.30 today. TripAdvisor telling you it's open now at 11.00. So driving from ulverston was a waist of time. He's lost me a a customer for the future. At the prices he charges I don't think he will miss me but at least I will save on petrol.

Always fresh cooked and good portions with fast service even when there is a queue out of the door ..

Best food from a chip shop for a long time, the food disappeared really quickly, always a good sign. . Have made a note to visit again when in the area soon.

I’ve just had very disappointing fish and chips. Very small, hard, dry, over cooked fish; hidden in dry boring batter. Chips disappointing too. I really wish I hadn’t bothered.

after a walk and with a hunger pain we called here, warm day so sat outside. Chips perfect and lovely fish - if not a little small. great flavours may i add

A small hidden gem, the food always tastes fresh! The menu isn't huge but it doesn't need to be! Reasonable pricing and generous portions. We get the chips and go and sit at the picnic area over by the water on a sunny day, bliss!

1st & last visit - average menu outdone by awful food. This has to be one of the worst fish & chips I have ever tried. Only stooped as we were hungry on route through Greenodd (and wished we hadn't bothered).

We enjoyed our fish & chips from the Crakeside, the ladies in there were very efficient and organised. No dining in facility.

Called for tea had four portions of fish and chips all cooked to order and all cooked to perfection well worth the wait excellent fresh fish

Somos asiduos en Crakeside chippy debido a que tenemos una caravana cerca. La comida es normalmente fantástica, y siempre voy por patatas fritas y un budín de carne al vapor. No estoy seguro de qué salió mal, pero se sirvió este budín, absolutamente asqueroso, exagerado y casi sólido (completamente no comestible). No estoy seguro de cómo el servidor pensó que esto era aceptable para darle a un cliente.Realmente decepcionado: entiendo el estrés cuando está ocupado, pero esto era inaceptable, especialmente para un chippy más caro.También incluí una foto de la otra tarta de carne que nos dieron, que era la misma que la que nos dan habitualmente. ¡Vea la diferencia usted mismo!

Nice place to stop off and grab some nice fresh fish and chips. They cook to order and they have a couple of benches outside if you want to eat on site.

food cooked fresh to order. perfectly cooked lovely cumberland sausages and chips. would thoroughly recommend.

Called for Fish and Chips, as we had friends visiting. Chips were pale and extremely undercooked, not crisp at all. Fish was small and tasteless.

We were tired after a day of driving. We were staying at Penny bridge and just decided to head down to the chippy to have a quick dinner. Fish seemed fresh, if but a bit tasteless. Overall, a pretty decent place.

Getting hungry after a long drive around the area I checked on trip advisor for places to eat. A chippy isn't normally my choice as the grease can cause me real problems. No danger here, the positive reviews were totally accurate and we had a gorgeous meal sat in the sun. Lovely service but do be aware it's cash only. Certainly very popular and rightly so

Called in for fish on its own wi two buns can of pop 650 bit steep but hungry . Fish small and tasteless young girl behind counter very nice old lass on fryer had a face as long as gas mans Mac Off putting to say the least batter was best bit of meal

Dos visitas en una semana, por lo que no puede ser malo. Feliz de haberlo visto en nuestra llegada tarde a Crake Valley. Pescado fresco, sabroso, crujiente. Porciones sensatas. Un personal bueno, honesto y amable que da un servicio eficiente. Pequeñas instalaciones pero mucho pasa en ese pequeño espacio. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

Appreciated fish and chips cooked from fresh. Weather was nice so we ate on the bench outside. Very nice.

Se detuvo por las fichas. Eran frescos, calientes y sabrosos. ¡Una gran astilladora justo donde la necesitábamos!

A gem in an otherwise sparse region. Will cooked, fresh, tasty and will definitely go of ever near by again.

Viajo por todo el noroeste con trabajo y siempre espero volver a Greenodd para obtener mi dosis de Fish & Chips. He probado otros en el área y ninguno se acerca. Acabo de estar otra vez esta noche y pensé mmmmmmm, necesito dejar un comentario. La comida está siempre recién preparada, el personal es muy amable y el lugar está impecable por dentro y por fuera. Si viaja hacia Ulverston o Western Lakes, asegúrese de llamar a Crakeside Chippy, ¡no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente! ! ! ! ! ABSOLUTAMENTE DELICOUS

Called in on way home, 2xfish,chips and peas (curry for me)- cooked fresh and well worth the short wait, fish had perfect batter. Lovely service from friendly staff. Defo be calling again soon.

Tiny soggy fish, cold chips, peas tasted burnt ! miserable rude staff !! wouldn’t recommend at all !!

Fue un año desde que lo visitamos y fue una mala experiencia ya que no llegamos hasta la hora de cierre y la grasa se filtró en el pescado a través de la masa.

Estábamos de vacaciones en Coniston y habíamos planeado tomar un té chippy el lunes por la noche para tratar a los niños. No se dio cuenta de que el ruido de Coniston está cerrado los lunes, así que subí al auto y conduje hasta Greenodd. Las patatas fritas, el pescado y especialmente mi anillo de Cumberland estaban recién cocinado a la perfección. Muy sabroso, buen tamaño de las porciones y no demasiado caro. Simplemente perfecto y salvó el día!

Visitamos este chippy cuando el restaurante en el que pensábamos comer estaba completo. Muy contento de haberlo hecho. El pescado y las patatas fritas eran encantadores y un precio extremadamente razonable. Mi hijo comió la hamburguesa de pollo y dijo que era lo mejor que había probado nunca. Salsa de salsa y curry también muy buena. El servicio era amable y servicial. La mejor comida de pescado y papas fritas que he tenido en mucho tiempo. Si volvemos a subir, definitivamente regresaremos.

Amazing, perfect fish and chips. Can't tell you how good the meal was. Light and crispy batter, perfect chips, sweet curry sauce, 6 quid each, overall the Best we have ever had!

We brought a minibus full of Scouts here for dinner at the end of a day out from camp. They produced tasty food for 20 people quickly and cheerfully, threw in a bottle of ketchup for free and it was half the price we'd pay at home (Fife).

Extremely cheap 4 small pieces of fish small borderline stingy chip. Not friendly staff. What happened used to be great here. Now recommend keep driving straight past. What a joke.
