First-class fish and chips. Just like it used to be. Not expensive. Still the same great fish and good chips.

Popped in for tea last night and was greeted by a friendly team who took my order quickly. There was a few people ahead of me waiting for their orders but the owner let me know that he knew I was waiting and would be with me in a minute. Really appreciated that along with the tasty hot cheesy chips.

Owner wasn’t the most pleasant cocky didn’t like me asking for my chips to be a little browner put it this way I wish I hadn’t bothered he moaned on about it not sure if he was trying to be funny or serious he didn’t seem pleased anyway . Food bland chips well not a spec of Grease on them no matter what chippy I go to their never that dry after being double cooked never ! Fish well bland the batter was so plain not one to moan about flavour usually because normally it’s not an issue usually it’s either soggy it over cooked if am moaning about it ! The chippy is clean and looks lovely old school style chippy but the food didn’t match well the curry sauce and peas was the only enjoyable thing He was all I’m from Huddersfield I usually tell people if they want double cooked chips to open their own chippy up !! If he has I would of walked away and gone further into town to another place But I would say over priced not that nice and won’t be returning

Guy with bald head serving needs to chill out! I ordered chips cheese and gravy, young lad served me and barely put enough cheese on to cover 3 chips so I POLITELY asked if he could put on a touch more.. bald guy pipes up that will be extra charge before walking over and seeing my food and admitting ‘ah yeah you’ve been a little tight with the cheese’ and putting more on. However he continued to bark at me about how expensive the cost of cheese is and he’s there to run a business! LOL I didn’t ask… I just wanted a fair portion. Although i would love to go back and support their business (as clearly they are struggling) I won’t be spoken to like that and embarrassed in front of other customers! Rude rude rude.

I was away with my boyfriend and we read the reviews for this chip shop and decide to try it. Unfortunately it was the worst fish and chips I have had. Fish was small no cod available. Haddock was small and dry with a strange taste would try another shop if your looking. Sadly disappointed.

This Chippy provides a well-cooked, tasty, meal, time-after-time, at reasonable prices. I used-to work nearby; and, now, when I have made a special detour towards this faithful chippy, as I finish my meal and the last morsel goes down, I find myself promising myself: "I really must come here more often." The quality and service is rock-solid.

Best chippy in town, I personally go for the smokey sausage, curry sauce with medium chips with a cloudy lemonade chaser. They have a mini menu, daily specials and a nice selection of pickled eggs and onions furthermore the buns come fully equipped with butter on both sides which is really good for that self built fish and chip and tartare sauce butty. The staff are great and friendly, they gave me a nickname "sausage dave"

We had always heard positive things about Far Cross in the past, so massively disappointed, the chips were so bad that both our portions went in the bin. Don't know what they're doing differently, but the chips were lukewarm, rock hard and just so so dry, like they'd been cooked a week ago. Scampi was nice, but we're both still hungry since that's all we had!! Please sort it out, you're just stealing people's money at the moment.

This was one of the first places to reopen in Kendal after lockdown and is a regular place for our Friday night fish and chips. The fish and chips are excellent and good value, and the staff are fast and friendly. They have an efficient ordering system in place and you can book a slot or just turn up. Booking is recommended to save waiting. All staff are masked and distancing is well maintained. If you've booked just go straight up and announce your name at the door and the food is ready in just a few minutes. Warmly recommended!

Was in two minds whether to visit this shop but the ratings looked good. Went at 4.35 shortly after opening for the evening. Walk up only/carry out. Said cooked to order. waited 10 mins. Got order and headed home (15 mins). On opening (they parcel it up behind the counter where you cannot see). The fish, two pieces, was swimming in grease and overcooked with awful tasting batter, and the chips were the other extreme, barely cooked! I love fish and chips but will never visit this place again and advise others to shy away. There are others in Kendal. I was going to the Fish Express but this happened to be a bit more convenient so thought I would try it. Big mistake.

The shop was full at 7pm on a very wet February Wednesday evening and that said one thing it’s good fish and chips Despite being full the fish was cooked to order it came quickly Only one fish haddock today but it was good maybe shops down south could learn something every fish type of fish available and not always as fresh why? How you like your batter is a very long book and then no agreement but most important the fish was not over cooked.

I came in today with three friends who are over from Canada. We all had leek and potato soup and a sandwich. The soup was,awful it tasted of vinegar! We asked for it to be changed, so we had tomato and basil, which tasted like vinegar again! One of my friends managed to eat hers! I was not offered a refund! Do chefs/cooks not taste the food anymore before sending it out to customers? Would not recommend.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Just had one of the worst dining experiences of my life, for a 30th birthday celebration courtesy of Lucy’s on a plate Ambleside! I honestly don’t know where to begin with this, maybe the appalling manager, slow service, bland overpriced food, not sure really but here we go. So we email this place the previous evening to our booking enquiring about a reservation for 2 people, we heard nothing until WE contacted them around 3/4pm the following day to be told “oh yes im just on with the bookings now and was just about to call you”which I didn’t believe but that’s fine, on the phone I explained it was a special 30th birthday meal for my partner as they asked were we celebrating an occasion. We were looking forward to our meal and arrived slightly early about 6.20 for a 7pm table, we thought we could maybe have a drink if they had a bar or somewhere to wait for the table. We were shocked to see the manager fumbling around with his booking sheet to clearly see he didn’t have our names down, just to write us in in front of him, he then makes a joke saying “that would of been embarrassing”yeah it certainly would have been embarrassing so not a great start at all, we sit down to read the menu and notice some essay on the front talking about the guests and what they were celebrating, no mention of my partners 30th birthday just a half arsed after thought saying hello Andrew and Rhianne, as we were clearly forgotten about. After looking at the menu we decided to go for 2 pork belly starters £12 each and lamb shank £28 and lamb tagine £24, starters came out pretty quickly around 10-15 mins so great, unfortunately BLAND!! The apple puree could of been anything as there was no flavour at all, no sweetness to balance the dish just the flavour or pork and a little black pudding Bon Bon, BLAND! Then we wait for almost 1 hour, yes 1 hour for the main, asking the waiting staff how long, got told if it’s not here in 5 mins I’ll go and punch the chef, yes haha very funny but just get me my food I wasn’t up for jokes by this time, then the mains come, my lamb shank was dry had next to no sauce or should I say gravy at all, the mash was lukewarm the veg the same and very undercooked, I’m all for al dente but this just wasn’t and a piece of parsnip no bigger then your little finger, this place is a long way off fine dining! I asked for some more sauce and was brought a gravy boat of wishy washy gravy that they must use on every dish! Honestly very similar to a bisto gravy, where’s the lamb flavour or the reduced stock to coat the lamb shank, absolutely nothing! My partner said the lamb tagine was lukewarm again but after waiting an hour we were so hungry we just ate it, she said the cous cous was just bland and had nothing special about it, she said the cous cous from Sainsbury’s ‘food on the go’ was much nicer, why is this when we’re paying all this money? We also noticed there was no check back to see how we were enjoying the food as tbh they just weren’t bothered! When our plates were cleared(25 mins after we had finished) we were asked was everything ok, I said hmm yeah ok to which the waitress replied “ok yeah” great and takes the plates. This is where I would of informed the manager that someone was not very happy and suggest they go and speak to them! I was very reluctant to say anything because I’m aware I’m celebrating my partners 30th and didn’t want to make a scene, after such terrible service and food we just couldn’t order a dessert as we weren’t going to give these people my more of our money, we receive the bill at £115 for 2 starters 2 mains and 2 drinks each one of those was non alcoholic. Very overpriced for the quality you receive. Then to top the night off I go to pay, this is where the manger really shows his lack of experience, from me counting out the money to pay he never once asked “how was your meal” how did your partner enjoy her 30th birthday celebration” nothing! Didn’t even say enjoy your evening, honestly I recommend you research this place before going here as it’s beyond bad!

First few times I've tried here it's been nice but the last few times I've had carbonara pasta it has been so bland, the man behind the counter had dirty hands as well not good for health & hygiene 🤢🤢 It just put me right off
