Probably the worst fish and chips I've had. Only had haddock. The batter was so thick and soft it absorbed so much fat which made it inedible. The chips were very pale and only just cooked. The staff were pleasant enough though.

I've been coming to The Embassy for many years with my family and I think it's probably the nicest fish and chip shop going. The fish and chips is always hot and fresh. You have a choice of either cod or haddock (no ambiguous alternative white fishes that you've never heard of, e.g. panga) and the meal is served with chips which are neither soggy or too hard - they're crisp and tasty. I'm a bit baffled by some of these other reviews - it's as if they visited a different restaurant.

On our rescent trip to Southport we had eaten a fair amount of chips. We jumped in here on Easter Sunday but I think we regret it. Worst chips we have ever had. Soggy and undercooked. Kids meal was stingy and my 8 quid sausage meal looked like a kids portion. So many better would not recommend.

Ordered Fish, Chips, Mushy Peas, slice bread & butter plus cup of tea. Lets start with the fish ..very good. Then the chips, awful, it was like eating crisps at times with some very crunchy ones ... watch you teeth fillings you may loose them...next the slice of bread and butter... forget the butter as the slice was scraped with a 2 inch band off butter in the middle of the slice the rest of the bread was dry....next the mushy peas...mmmm not bad. Last but not least .. the cuppa tea... it was a 5 second tea bag dunk, yes a two stir of the bag and then pressed to the side of the cup. All we ended up with was a cup of hot water with milk. I found that this Restaurant charged £2 more per equivalent meal than one of its competitors on Lord Street. VERDICT would I visit this establishment again .. definitely not

One of the best places I’ve had chips, fish and peas from. Fantastic traditional tastes exactly what it should be. Great service from the staff too. They offered a senior meal which was just enough to satisfy our hunger. Definitely going again.

Only 4 tables of people in the restaurant however after 40minutes of waiting for food asked where simple order of 3 fish and chips were to be told “I only have one pair of hands” and carried on like it was normal. Once we eventually got food it was OK but chips were cold. 1year we had with us wouldn’t eat as was stuck in a highchair for 50minutes whilst we waited for the food. And overall the place felt dirty Worst chip shop to visit

Awful fish, we asked for Haddock and was served with something really tasteless, that we could not eat, at a cost of £18.05 for two meals. When we asked for the manager she informed us that they didn't have any Haddock and the counter staff should have told us. Thankfully they refunded our meal in full. What a shame to be serving such poor fish in a lovely clean restaurant in a prime position just off the promenade. Would not visit again.

No complaints with the food- it was cooked to order with acceptable portion sizes. However, I was surprised that staff weren’t wearing masks and customers had to leave their table to get their own condiments. Only salt and vinegar available- no ketchup or tartar sauce! Nothing was said about Track and Trace either.

Walked in and there was no one in with the current situation this was perfect for myself and other half, sat down and then ordered. I had gone to the toilet and by the time I got back the food was on the table. My fella got the seaside special and I got chips. At first I was like urhm ok but after tasting the food and then realising half way through there was more than enough in the portions that the price of the food was more than acceptable. A quiet and nice little restaurant, the area was clean and tidy and staff were more than helpful. Good tasty hot food, and not overly crowded.

Wish I'd read the other reviews..... A 30 minute wait for fish and chips which were overcooked and absolutely tasteless. Even triple my normal amount of salt and vinegar couldn't save them. 5* sign on the window for hygiene....needs a 1* sign beside it for food. How can you even get fish that is tasteless??? Avoid unless you're keen to be badly disappointed and feel cheated with the quality.

There was an eat out to help out sign on the counter but when I asked if that meant we got the food half price we were told it's only on certain days, which isn't displayed on the sign. Fish and chips okay but had to wait far too long. After paying £19 for 2 meals we were then charged a further 20p when we asked for tomato sauce which we thought was disgusting. Although there were signs saying keep 2 meters apart the tables were actually only about a meter if that. There was a track and trace sign with a number to text, which we did but we didn't see others doing this and I thought staff should be asking them to. Won't be going back

Hubby and I visited Southport for the day and decided, once again to go to the Embassy Fish and Chip Restaurant. Hubby had the Fish and Chip special which consisted of a large cod, chips, peas, bread and butter and a pot of tea. I settled for Cod and Chips and a Latte. Once again we were not disappointed, the fish was as fresh as could be, flaked and the batter was beautiful. We say we will try somewhere else but to be honest, its so nice we are thinking that we may go somewhere for the same meal and not enjoy it as much. Well done Embassy, you did it again.

The restaurant is neat and tidy, but that's about it. My family only went in as the children were desperate to eat, but letting them eat the crumbs off a pub carpet would have been better than this. This fish was well cooked in crisp batter but it was so old it disintegrated into must on first cut...even my 5 year old with hunger pains complained. One fish was so bad it stank of chlorine and was sent back...couldn't face anything else after that hideous cack, but even when asking for money back there came no apology. The drinks were massively overpriced and the whole experience was grim...don't they make enough from their Funland slot machines to provide something better than rotting fish and manky undercooked chips. Go to any other fish and chip shop in Southport rather than this depressing 'restaurant'.

We've been to this restaurant many times but on this occasion, we were disappointed. Ordered chips, curry and fish for ourselves and then sausage and chips for the little one.

Fancied fish & chips whilst visiting Southport. Many of the other chippies were closed as it was after 2000 so we have this a try here - there were quite a few people in.

Just been in restaurant and had the special which was £9.10p for large cod,chips, peas,b&b; and a drink. Very disappointing the fish was so thin at one end it was like having a sheet of paper between batter,hardly any fish in it, chips were ok but would give it a miss definitely not worth the money. The staff were messing around the customer service was terrible. Nobody came to ask if it was ok, or even acknowledged we were there. No wonder we were the only ones in the restaurant.

Popped in after some fun at the local arcades before heading home; husband and wife with 9 year old son. It’s exactly what you expect from this type of venue – average food at average prices, with average customer service and cleanliness. For example, the staff were talking amongst themselves as we left, despite there being obvious litter on the floor that should have been cleaned immediately. It served a purpose, but we probably wouldn’t return.

In this world if binary opinions it comes as no surprise that 5* and 1* reviews dominate whereas the obvious reality from our visit is that Embassy lies squarely in the middle doing some things well and others not so well. New Year's Day and the restaurant was busy but service was reasonably quick with the queue moving quickly. As it was busy the fish was cooked to order and lovely crispy batter, the chips were a bit anaemic and the portion with the fish less than generous. However a portion with (very tasty) gravy was plentiful. The staff spent a lot of time chatting amongst themselves but weren't rude or unpleasant. Decent without being outstanding.

Going in for a cup of tea, we bought our grandson, a plate of chip, costings ( £3 ) for a small plate !

From the outside it looks nice and clean with a good seating area, the inside is a little like a time warp however it is clean and tidy.We had the Seaside Special cod chips mushy peas bread and butter plus a drink of your choice for £16.20 for twoAfter a short wait it was delivered, The fish and the chips were freshly cooked, nice mush peas and proper white thin sliced bread and butter.Now we differ from the other reviews, nice white firm fish, crispy batter, great proper chips, mush peas you could stand your fork up in and fresh bread,We really enjoyed our meal, the decor was as we remembered it from 20 years ago, its clean, the staff are friendly and the toilets are clean.

Went in for lunch while shopping in Southport. Very disappointed in the quality of the food. Soggy undercooked chips, tasteless peas and a small piece of fish. Expected better. We won't go back!

Our first vista's to Southport really fancied some fish and chips for tea the one we had been recommended was shut so after a walk about we unfortunately stumbled on this one first expressions look good clean with a good seating area .we had the seaside special cod chip peas cuppa and bread and butter for £8.10 each OMG it was awful the fish had no fish in it totally tasteless the chips were awful most of them was black the bread and butter was stale and dry. We didn't eat it ended up wasting £16.20 and going to weatherspoons for some edible food. . AVOID

I have visited this restaurant on 2 occasions: the first time, in late 2016, I ordered the fish and chips special which came with mushy peas, bread, and a mug of tea. That time the chips were chunky and fresh, a nice texture, and the fish was nicely cooked and the batter was tasty. The next time I visited was in May 2017 and there was a change: the chips were actually dry and grey in colour! The fish in batter was dry, and the batter was like cardboard: I complained and the chips were replaced, with some that were slightly less grey. The food was almost inedible. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant now, this was probably the worst fish and chips I have ever been served.

When ever we have been to Southport we have always gone here for lunch last time it was a party of 12 (last year) just my partner and I went Saturday 3 June 2017 We have always enjoyed our fish & chips peas curry ect that is until yesterday. The chips looked hours old they were cold the fish wasn't much better peas burnt in fact the whole meal was disgusting. If it has changed hands since our visit last year it wont be open long. I did notice when we walked in there was a lot of food on the plates on the tables that were waiting to be cleared I wished I had gone with my gut feeling and walked out £16 -20 wasted we left and went for some lunch. If all that food was left on plates I would be wondering why

Poor hygiene and poor customer service. Staff eating food and drinking behind the counter. Staff handling money then touching food/plates bread to butter it. Staff using phones behind counter and not washing hands. Licking fingers to separate plastic bags then serving food. Tables not clean. Poor customer service from woman serving who short changed £10.

Well I suppose it's what you are used to. We really enjoy good fish and chips. We ordered fish and chips twice, tea, coffee, bread and butter. We had to pay extra for tea, coffee and the bread and butter was 60pence per slice! I think the fish had been on a diet it was that flat and the batter wasn't nice. I think the chips must have been cooked earlier and warmed up, neither of us ate many. The restaurant was clean and staff ok but very matter of fact and didn't connect with us at all. Cost just under £16. Wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend

Called in here based on first impressions from outside and 5 star rating on window. Scores on the doors for hygiene. Four adults and one child eating in. Clean, bright and spacious. Portions generous. Lightly battered cod, nice and white inside, was good size and tasty. Chips nothing special. Mushy peas were good. Nice cup of tea.We had to collect food from counter when ready. Staff were pleasant. Good value would return. Did not visit toilets so cannot comment on them.

Excellent food, well cooked and very friendly staff, a great traditional chippy with meals at around £6.00 I don't think they can be beaten.

After a long walk down the pier and also the length of Lord St - the gang fancied some Chips - so stopped here - Chips were cooked fresh and the sausage my son had was said to be excellent - it was really busy but served quickly - so thanks for a great end of the Bank Holiday

The food here is nothing special but we all know chips fill an empty stomach.I would happily give them a decent review if they were polite.No staff members smile, they all look at each other when you go in like they're weighing you up, staring. It's awful.This place should be closed down. These people are not giving a good impression to tourists for this town.

Lovely traditional sit-in chippy. No fuss or frills decor and quick service. Basic menu and choices but always nice to have a round of bread and butter with a fish supper. Food was excellent

Advertised as Traditional Fish & Chips, frozen chips, poor curry sauce. Staff all wore baseball caps, no hairnets on the girls long hair which was hanging over the ears of one girl, the man doing the cooking emptied 2 black bin bags of rubbish then went straight back to preparing the food without washing his hands. We ordered bread and butter, it was cheap spread NOT butter, in fact for what it was the place is quite expensive, £10.58 for 2 teas, 2 plates of chips(£2.50 a portion),2 curry sauces and 2 bread and cheap spread, would not go in here again.

Went in as the shop opened to order some food. Expected the chips to be really fresh due to ordering 2 minutes after the store opened. Very disappointed to find the chips overcooked. Not what you’d expect for the first batch. These chips look like they were last night’s leftovers warmed up. The quality of the fish cake wasn’t much better. Will not be ordering from here again. Very disappointing as I often order from the good catch in formby and the quality of their food is so much better.

Must just be nice for chinese dishes, sausage dinner, fish n chips very below average. Salt n pepper chicken wings awful. Think they have give up trying to make them nice. I prob won't go back to a chippy based on my only visit here. Hello fresh here we come.

Best fish and chip restaurant in the area and always use it. Mostly pick it up ourselves, but tonight it was Just Eat. After initial delay on delivery (no fault of Fylde) they re-cooked and delivered a new meal and free drinks. Lovely people & food.
