Drake's Fisheries in Bradford

Best chippy in town!!! Fresh lovely white fish, tasty chips and amazing potato cakes. Excellent portions!!! 110% recommended

Chips are very very scrappy no good for anyone who has certain needs for eating and dangerous for children ,not a bit of potatoe cause the chips are cut that thin and for the money you pay for them deffo avoid and spend your money somewere else and the fishcakes are just as bad very dissapointed.

The fish and chips and cake must be the worst I have ever had. The cake was rock hard with no potato or fish in it. The fish were very thin and the chips were also rock hard and scratty. This place has just gone down and down. Been going since it opened. Nothing like it was originally when the very first fryer was in there (bring him back). They are not worth the money that's for sure.The staff don't have any contact with the customer and come across rude. I certainly won't be going back and suggest people give this place a wide berth.

Just bought our tea from here ,what a waste of money. The chips so hard and scroney had to bin them and mussy peas were more like green water. Will not be going there again.

Shockingly overpriced poor quality fish & chips. Used to be a good chippy 5 years ago. Price of fish is more than murgatroyds and a quarter the size. Your sliver of fish and £1.40 for a dry cheap teacake was the end for me. London prices are cheaper and that saying something. I understand cost have gone up, but you have taken it to a whole different level. Go look at prices of other local chippys, some with a massive restaurant are not even charging what you're charging. Genuinely hope all your shops go under and rightly soo for your greed Read all the other reviews not just me.

I had a pie in the oven and decided I wanted some chips from the chip shop so I drove to Drake's to get two bags of chips one for me one for the wife, to be honest I am not a lover of their fish because I find them a bit on the thin side but I have had chips from Drake's before and they have been fine when I got there at about 4:30 pm 3/9/24 I was the only customer there,£5.70 for two bags of chips not bad price but oh my god when I got them home two bags of dried up offerings they had been under the heat for God knows how long had to throw them away they were like eating over done crisps never again.

Been many times like other people reviewing, however at 4:30 pm on a Wednesday I got hard inedible chips, I think I’ll stop going now because it’s a luxury due to the price, very disappointed.

Not Fresh and expensive at the same time

Visited here a couple of weeks ago. The chips where lovely, the batter wasn't very crispy and it was quite thin. Quite expensive for a chippy.

Fish was ok but the battered sausage and cake were disgusting dried up and inedible how they could even think of serving this to a paying customer is beyond me, i wont be returning.

Bright fish and chips twice in the shop, we live 5 minutes away, it was 9-15 at night, we opened them up at home the chips were hard and chewy, we couldn’t eat them. Luckily the fish was nice. This is not a cheap shop and I expect a shop with the Drakes name above the door to provide fresh cooked fish and chips. These chips must have been old and refried. It is not the first time this has happened here. We will take our custom elsewhere in future

Slowly declining..prices have gone up and serving gone down.

My partner has just bought some fish and chips and a chip butty one Curry source one beans from this shop 9th July 2024 and cost £22.00 they are taking the micky the fish was hard the chips were old and chewy I had to throw it in the bin it wants cosing down discusting I work hard for my money 💰 there very lucky that I have not been up there and thrown them back at them

I paid 10.50 for fish and chips and not even enough chips to go with the fish

Having been a loyal customer for years, sadly today was my final visit to this shop ….. £7.40 for a “Fish Butty” is horrendous, I nearly had a heart attack when I was asked for “SEVEN POUNDS FORTY” …. The staff are absolutely amazing, the food is spot on, but the manager is an obnoxious little piece of work !

The fish was acceptable, but it was clear the fat/dripping needs changing. It is producing black bits on the food. The chips had been reheated, and awful.obviously dunked back into the pan to reheat, resulting in dried up inedible chips. Curry sauce, none existent. The tiniest ladle of curry sauce was put on my chips, so small I couldn’t even taste it , at a charge of £1.65. This has seriously gone downhill. Will not be revisiting.

Food hygiene needs looking at there. Girl took my money (coins) then handled and buttered my tea cake without washing hands/ putting gloves on after handling money. Just kids getting paid minimum wage that don’t want to be there. Fish also very very greasy and soggy

Bought fish and chips twice and a fish. The fish was terrible it was hard the batter was too hard. Too much bi.carb in batter mix and overcooked.

Always good food and excellent service. Staff are friendly

Quick pop in fpr fish and chips usually busy at peak times and they d0 delivery aswell via uber ect but pick up instore is good staff are ok too give them a try 👍

Don’t bother worst chips I’ve ever had. I’d go hungry rather than go there again .

Stunning food will definitely be back staff are very polite and helpful

Young kids are messing about behind the counter. They wrap the fish so tight that when you unwrap, it looks like half of the estate has been through it.

This place does really nice food. The 1 problem I have is the fact they NEVER put scraps on. I always ask for it on the notes on delivery. Even when I go in the shop and order I have to ask twice and watch to make sure they go on. Theirs no number to call the restaurant as it just goes to an inbox. Its not the main part of the meal no but for me a chippy just simply isn't the same or as nice without them. They are free and should be included when asked. This is the 3rd time in a row now so I will be buying from a different chip shop from now on. And I buy alot of them so this is a real shame on this place. The notes should always be read from online orders incase customers have dietary requirements etc so theirs just no excuse.

Husband ordered cake and chips, absolutely rubbish, chips were very sparse, cake was nothing like I've had before, thin piece of potato in between 2 bits of over done batter. Tried to ring up and let them know how disappointing they were, but mailbox was full!

Absolutely love this place I go everyday for my lunch I try everything foods always spot on the staff are so friendly and always smiling and laughing couldnt recommend anywhere else but here for great food and great service

Just had the best fish and chips for my tea from here, will definitely be back again. It was very busy the staff were very efficient and polite.

Our family always use Drakes, honestly definitely the best chippy around.

Always my go-to chippy and they never disappoint! Loved the food and staff are friendly too!

Food is always really nice from here and the portion size is good

I enjoyed my meal it was hot and very tasty. I wish that maybe a senior meal could be on the delivery options as the portion was very large and I had to waste some of it which seems a shame ordered again today 15th April. Very disappointed the food tasted as tho it had been reheated from lunchtime. Not worth the price. Won't be ordering again

Just ordered for the first time after hearing good things from others. Just paid over £40 and they are disgusting. Opened them up and its swimming in grease cant taste anything other than that. Chips taste like they were warmed up and rubbery. Absolute joke and won't be going back. Dont know what those who recommended this place had but what a waste of money

Fish and chips were beautiful they also except card payment

The fish, chips and curry sauce were of the highest quality. The fish was made to order. Staff were polite enough they just weren't very friendly.

Staff have no pride in what they send out. Typical chain branch relying on an outdated reputation. Overpriced

Excellent fish and chips. Well cooked and nice crispy batter. One portion of chips is definitely enough for 2 people.

I just got fish & chips delivered as a treat to myself. They were absolutely awful. They had been microwaved, probably from lunchtime, the batter was that hard you couldn't bite into it and the chips were just greasy piles. Will not buy from here again. Forgot to mention I did ring them but no answer, so I left a message.

Prompt service fish and chips very good

food undercooked, greasy, staff arent good at their job, place was stuffy and chips were soggy with greasy undercooked fish and lumpy gravy. also found a hair in my chips, which was definitely not mine

What has happened to the quality of the fish & chips Really disappointing Rubbish Dried up fish Chlike scraps and cold

Come all the way from Germany and this is the first Shop what i visit Reasonable prices and fish and Chips are incredible.

Really nice food from here love the chips as they are a nice golden brown taste lovely, tried the fish fantastic moist succulent & at a decent price all. All the staff are great fantastic service what more can you want

The fish and only half a portion of cold chips a cold fish cake absolutely horrible food fish was that frazzled it was unbeatable terrible

Been going for a couple of years. Fish and chips Ok.BUT.on Friday 8th at 3.ish.bought fish and chips. and were dreadful. Chips warmed up.from day before. Not changed the cooking oil. If this happens again. I will not be using Drakes anymore. Mr G.TAYLOR.

Food absolutely terrible this eve Got it delivered as home and carnt drive, due to a recent operation. Came quickly and Uber driver, nice and friendly.. food diabolical, a portion was Missing and the rest of the food was Cold, overcooked and the chips were all Scragg ends and dried up. Most went In the bin and we’re a real Disappointment! Won’t be using again. Tried to phone and complain but apparently they have no phone! Really? 😔😞

Rang 12 times to ask about dietary requirements and not once was the phone picked up

Got fish and chips ×2 chips looked like warmed up from dinner time really disgusting. Fish really greasy and soggy.best part of meal was the mushy peas what a waste of £18

I'd not visited this place in years and called in with a friend just for a bag of chips. The staff were all so lovely, especially the young lady who served me, and all were dressed as Teletubbies for Halloween (or at least that's what they told me!). The food was delicious and as good as I remember.

I ordered through Just Eat. The site forces you to add a condiment such as salt or scraps before allowing a selection to be added to the order. We ended up with what seemed like more scraps than chips, and at nearly £10 for fish and chips, this is a cheeky and unwelcome portion reduction technique

Bit disappointed to be fair Chips were average Had a battered sausage,had better Mushy peas not nice Hard and not mushy like normal chippies Staff friendly To be honest with my review The chippie in Idle Towngate is much nicer and food is better than the food I had.

Very good fish and chips. Food is very tasty and well cooked. Staff were very efficient and dealt well with a long queue. Recommend

Charged us nearly £4 for about 3 chips adding to my meal , went back as was very dissatisfied and the lady serving was very arrogant and rude

Just ordered a large order. Fish was very well done, mainly batter as hardly no fish and when you did get fish it was very chewy.

Very good standard of fish and chips cooked fresh.

We ordered fish and chips through Just Eat. For our order to be taken we HAD to include salt & vinegar or scraps.! I prefer to add my own condiments. There was too much salt on mine and my partners chips were forgotten! We tried phoning numerous times but no one answered the phone. Very poor Drakes.

Great chippy. I'm in every Friday for fish n chip fryday!!!

Normally OK but this week the scollops were very thin and hardly any batter OK so they were hard. Also one of the orders were not wrapped up very well, all spilt out int the bag whilst driving home, I think it's because they have somebody new serving on. Not been watched over.

Ordered fish cake and chips and it was honestly the worst I have ever eaten, all I could taste was burnt oil total waste of money. Food went to the dog

Taste wise is very good many people saw going there

Cooked to order, great fish and chips, it's a weekly must

Only had a cake butty. And still wonder if I was given a scallop Found a minute piece of fish. Well maybe a piece of tail. T cake wasn’t fresh it was breaking up. It’s a drive past for me in future.

Excellent customer service and first class food, provided by two young lads. Highly recommend.

An overall nice fish and chip shop with friendly staff and quick service. Food poritions are not as big as expected but I would still recommend buying from here. The prices are decent with quite a large menu and the location is nice for locals. Take out only.

Freshly cooked great tasting fish and chips

Chips low portion than before Depends upon who’s working But a sertan crue rude low portion Not welcoming very big 😩🙏🏻

Been going here for a few years and it’s got better since we first started going. Fish is lovely and well priced

Great food cooked fresh Great service

Updated 09/05/23 Two lads serving on one of whom I guess was the fryer but disappeared mid fry and the serving lad finished off the fish and chips. The quality of which was less than the previous standard. It seems the blond haired girl fryer outshone these two lads by quite some distance with regard to frying to perfection. So if you are buying fish and chips from Drakes fish shop 5 Lane Ends. Make sure you go on the days when the girls are frying as they make a remarkable difference. One might say it's a womans touch. Well I agree wholeheartedly. Pleasantly surprised. Chips small but were done to my liking. Fish a good size. A little more work on the batter I thought but all in all very nice. So much better than the previous Drakes. Thank you very much 👏😋

If you get the right fryer Saturdays I think he works.. trust me you will now go elsewhere 🤤

It's a fish and chip shop. No more to be said.

Chips are to greasy could do alot better

Outstanding fish and chips!!!!!!****** From A and J 🤗

Nice enough staff, food was a bit cold and chips undercooked which really ruined it

Our just eat app won’t let us change the delivery address to stay at the correct address (we have consistently tried) and therefore this means that sometimes we forget to change it right at the last minute (our fault). However when this has happened with other takeaways they happily (and easily) changed the delivery address but when my dad rung to do the same a woman answered and was unbelievably rude and nasty to him (who lost his dad today and this resulted in him having a nervous breakdown). I am furious at how they spoke to him and their serious lack of customer service is concerning. Absolutely no need. Don’t order from here

After a 12 hr shift we decided to treat our selves to a chippy tea . Ordered fish and chips ×2 , a cake , a scallop and 2 curry sauce . Was charged over the odds but I thought maybe price increase . While wrapping my order I noticed a fish on its own I said I didn't order that and the young man said he put that through and I had paid for it . Rather than mess about getting a refund on my card I said I would take it , then as my order was finished I asked about my 2 curry sauces to be told they wasn't on my order so had to pay for them separately, then when we arrived home I only had 1 curry sauce even though I had paid for 2 . So my partner had to make sime gravy . My partners cake wasn't a cake just potato no fish inside . A very expensive tea that turned out rubbish . Will not be rushing back . Its run by young children that are not listening to the customers

Disgusting, greasy, the chips were green in places and scabby, the spam fritters were soaked in oil. I certainly wouldn't be going back.

Genuinely impressed. It takes a great deal to impress me when it comes to Fish n Chips, but the fish butty I had from here from crisp, light and tasty.

Just had fish and chips and wife had a kids fish and chips. Both were big portions and hot. Nice staff. And the food was excellent. Really really nice.

Great chips, staff lovely. Recommended.

Really good fish and chips, really fat chips, and the batter on the fish is nice and crunchy, not soft and soggy

Worse chippy ever horrible burnt food I did not know you could burn chips this bad

Absolutely disgusting the food was inedible I wouldn't feed it to my dog🤮🤮

Brilliant, popped in here after a swimming session and had a lovely tea. Staff lovely, food great and the service was quick. Thank you.... oh! by the way, best chips round here.

SO RUDE!! Customer service skills are lacking. ‘What do you want’ as we walk in. Disgusting

The fish was ok and so were the chips . can't say much more.

Got a cake wrapped up &when I got home it was disgusting, only 3mins..it was like a lump of concrete

Ordered through just eat a couple of days ago. The food quality is shocking. The fish were scrappy, thin and looked like they were cooked in mucky oil. Not the type of chunky fresh fish i get from where i normally go ( it was closed ). The food didn't seem fresh at all, the batter was thin and missing on parts of the fish which also had that over fishy taste and smell. Horrid.

Great traditional fish and chips. Don't know why they don't seem able to cook them properly like this outside Yorkshire.

The staff are very friendly and greet you with a smile however the food itself is average, it used to be one of my favourite places however the last few weeks the food has been greasy and full of oil to an extent that its left me feeling unwell after forcing it down. If they spend a little more time to drain the oil off the food and put a little more care into what they send out then this place could be one of the best around once again.

Overall nice food, odd time they haven't been great but I find that at a few different places

Come on, what the heck?? Paid nearly 18 quid last night for two soggy small portions of fish and chips.... The lass at the counter didn't care one bit.. I didn't get her name, she was a bigger woman. she wrapped up my order before I could see if she put salt, vinegar and scraps on it like I asked, so I TRIPPLE checked she did it. So after we got our food and tripple checked she sorted the salt and vinegar with scraps, we went up to our usual eating spot on the Moors, opened up my sog tray to find NO SCRAPS, NO SALT, NO VINEGAR!!!!. i was more annoyed at the fact I TRIPPLE checked with the lass !!!! She obviously couldn't be bothered unwrapping my food and sorting it out so she just said yes to me when really she knew straight away she didn't do it... Won't be back here again, standards have dropped so much and I lived at five lane ends for fifteen years. The chips were small scrappy chips and I wish they would let you put your own salt and vinegar on your food. Fair enough about COVID but that's a thing of the past now. People can argue otherwise but restrictions are not about any more and the COVID laws have vanished...

Always been a fan BUT... the last few orders have been very disappointing. Food obviously been stood around as very very dry. Some items missing. Tried to ring and had to leave voice mail..never returned the call and when I rang back the voice mail was full!! Totally rubbish service...gone downhill since the fire!! Won't be coming again.. ..

I bought fresh chips and they are a very good portion and taste very nice..The staff are very friendly and welcoming.. Great place.

Best chippy around, highly recommended

Very good clean and tidy obvious prices are high due to the economy so more of a treat than convenience 🐟

amazing place had fish and chips from there today nice food

Best fish n chips for miles . Ive ordered online & collected ,fish n chips always freshly cooked & on time ,staff nice n friendly .

Great staff most of the time. Sometimes trainees on . Quality is great. The specials are to die for. July 4th , just got fish and chips , sorry but got to say this , terrible, asked for lightly cooked it was overcooked and crunchy and looked like a child's portion, I had same problem last time this frier was on , I give praise where its due but come on , I nearly drove off when I saw who was frying , next time I will !

Called at 9.30 pm Friday evening. Purchased 3 x portions of chips and a curry sauce. I appreciate it was late but, the portion sizes were small and consisted mainly of scrappy tiny chips. Will not visit again

fish and chips used to be a regular yhing now its a luxury very expensive really, good job it tastes nice 👌
