Far Cross Chippy in South Lakeland

Always very good fish and chips here and staff good to.

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.

Excellent service food always hot and enjoyable

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

Lovely fish and chip not greasy well worth a visit

Very pleased we chose for our tea. Well cooked fish, light batter and proper chips. Husband extra impressed as served gravy. Would definitely chose nxt time we are holidaying here. Very tasty.

Very good fish and chips in Kendal. Well worth a visit. Fast efficient service, friendly staff, proper old school fish and chips.

fish was a bit small and the chips were too crispy and hard

First-class fish and chips. Just like it used to be. Not expensive.

Always good fish and chips, price is good and always cooked to order 😋 never had an issue this place and gor for treat days!! Whether lunch or tea get yourself down there for a proper chippy!!

Thank you to the staff at this chippy they were very polite and the chips scraps and curry was the best I've had since we have been up here for a holiday and we have a full tummy for our journey home thank you so much (garlic sauce next time would be amazing lol) x

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.

Nice staff , friendly and great atmosphere, very welcoming . The fish and chips were gorgeous .x

The best fish and chips we have EVER had!!!! The fish was so light and crispy, then just fell apart, the chips were cooked to perfection and the gravy could have been drank on its own (it was sooo good!) Service was fast and great communication coming from the staff :) We will definitely be back - Thank you guys

Oh my Cod! This chippy was fin-tastic. The chef was not only friendly, but his conversation was as crisp as his chips!

They were so nice , great service,friendly staff,all round lovely place.

Great friendly service, fantastic fish n chips

Ok, the food is spot, you all know that but the staff turn the 4 into a 5. Brilliant place and well worth the trip to fill ya belly. We travelled from Workington to eat here

Good taste of food, clean and tidy place. Highly recommend

Chips absolutely fantastic, not greasy. Would definitely recommend 😊👍

We ordered 2 haddock and chips. Batter was horrible, overdone, way too thick and too much for the amount of fish. The chips were even worse! Very hard, barely edible. Worst fish and chips we have had for a long time.

Great chip's not greasy. The rest of the food was great. The staff worked like clockwork they were very efficient a very good team. Definitely recommend this chippy.

I had fish and chips which were lovely, fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and quick.

Proper chips, lad. There might be a queue down the street, but it's worth the wait

Very friendly staff food delicious highly recommend thankyou

Good place to shop good fish smd chips

Best chippy in town with really friendly staff great food. 👍

Absolutely loved this chippy probably the nicest chips we've had up north the wife said her gravy was beautiful go give it a try the owners were so friendly too 👍

By "Far" the Best chippy in Kendal!! Always Hot , and they always Have Delicious Scraps ! .. something you don't see these days ! A+ Service ...

Freshly cooked fish to order. Great value.

Lovely food fast and friendly service

Service excellent...Food Brill..👍👍

Excellent Fish and Chip restaurant on my old stomping ground.First rate across the board...

Best chippy in the north west! Always a treat to get a bite From here.. friendly efficient service and great value 😁👍

Great Fish & Chips. They cooked a huge order for our company in record time. Very friendly and a pleasure to deal with.

Found it very expensive and quality wasn't the best. 17.10 for standard fish, cheesy chips (tight on cheese) a mini fish and chips and a tub of curry sauce. Batter on fish was a bit soggy, and the fish slightly dry. Certainly won't rush back.

greasy food and undercooked fries

Bloomin lovely with a great service

Delicious! Beautifully crisp batter and perfectly cooked chips. We will be back

This chippy was lovely clean and tidy the food was very good and tasty wasn’t really greasy and everything tasted very fresh

Best fish and chips in town bar none

Reliably good quality with welcoming staff. Can't go wrong

Friendly staff, great value for money, lots of choice, cash and at option, kids menu as well as other dietary options, just wish there was a dine in option available.

Had to stand outside in the pavement to be served,won't bother again

Phone order for time slot easy to do, food nice and hot, no waiting, good overall experience

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten. So tasty. Found quite by chance on holiday in the Lakes.

Quality fish and chips. Since the pandemic I order by phone and we agree a time for pick up. Always ready and no que.

First time as we can't usually get a park beautiful we will certainly be back

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.

We both have been using Farcross chippy for some time now, and have never been disappointed with the food and staff. Ed and his staff are always very polite when you are ordering your order. The food has always been great can't get enough of it. One if not the best chippy in Kendal you'll go far to get any better...

Having been seduced by the bright lights of Fryday's, it was nice to return to Kendal's finest, best value chippy 'Far Cross Chippy'. Just had a well done fish & chips, can't remember having better anywhere, simply superb.....

Good value and tasty fish and chips - too bad they only offer 'medium' fish and no large option (assuming they just can't source larger fish?)

Traditional fish and chips it may be but no cod available.

Great food friendly staff. Can have to queue for abit but worth it

Good chips, good mushy peas,sorry but the fish was only average rather dry and didn't smell very fresh.

Had fish & chips tonight & hubby had beef chilli & chips.....absolutely lovely 😍 👌 & fast service 😋

Really enjoyed the fish and chips, just how they should be, fresh tasty and not greasy at all. Both agreed best we have tasted for a long time

On holiday jusy North of Kendal, went here on recommendations. It did not disappoint. Fresh and tatsy fish and chips.

What is it with fish and chip shops in Kendal? Service absolutely hopeless. Waited nearly 10 mins and they only served one person. Still fifth in queue wasn't waiting any longer. Didn't appear short of staff just disorganised.

beat the queue. ate the chips. was not disappointed. went back the next day.

Really impressed, chips crispy and fresh, superb fish - as good as I've tasted in a long time with excellent batter. Topped off with homemade mushy peas. Fish not as big as many modern chippies - but size isn't everything...... Absolutely memorable!!

Best chippy in Kendal by a mile. Don't go anywhere else. Friendly, cheap and the burgers are the best.

Tasty fish, chips and mushy peas at a good price.

Very nu e fish and chips. Definitely must have try.

Always get great food and service from this chippy.

Always the best in Kendal the Best Buy “Far” Cross chippy

Cheesy chips! Grand little chippy clean, friendly and good value. Will be back.

Very nice fish and chips I would go again

Enjoyed fish and chips on a friday evening whilst on holiday in Kendal.

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"

Best fish and chips great value for money

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.

It's handy not badly priced and when the food is fresh it's nice but to often kept warm then it's disappointing

Lovely fish and chips. Great value for money and very helpful staff. Thank you😄😄

Hate to leave this review as normally very consistent... but Really bad fish an chips today ... the fish was bad ... the chips were greasy.. it’s normally the best in Kendal ... Come on far cross ...

Excellent food served in a timely fashion

Good steak pud and chips! Service good and covid safe. Great staff.

First time visit. Friendly, efficient, safety conscious and even by the time I'd driven 3 miles home, the fish was still crisp and delicious.

Good fish n chips. Quick order and easy safe pickup from window.

Short walk from Wainwright Hse. Great haddock & chips. Remember to order online for click & collect as can be busy.

Made a visit when stopping over locally. Food was great and service was 1st class. Recommend a visit....

Definitely recommend this chippy. Really good chips. And as any proper chippy does... They do scraps!

Gran Chippy. Teníamos pescado y patatas fritas con salsa de curry y fue absolutamente encantador y el mejor que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. Personal amable y buen servicio. Excelentes precauciones de COVID para la seguridad Recomendaría ? ?

Great Chippy. I had Fish and Chips with Curry Sauce and it was absolutely lovely and the best I have had in a long time. Friendly staff and good service. Good implementation of COVID precautions so felt safe. Would recommend 👌 👍

We got scampi, chicken and cheesey chips with curry and all were delicious. Super affordable and the best cheesey curried chips I'd ever had. Will definitely be going back there whenever in Kendal!

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!

The best battered fish I’ve had for a long time! Great with their curry sauce. Highly recommended

Extremadamente impresionados con mi visita de hoy, de un cliente extremadamente ansioso hicieron un trabajo brillante de distanciamiento social y las medidas que tienen en marcha son ejemplares. Aparte de eso, el pescado, las patatas fritas y la salchicha rebozada eran encantadores, muchas gracias a todo el equipo.

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.

Very friendly staff excellent food

best chippy for us - especially the fish and onion rings!!

I have eaten a number of times from here and so far I have had no reason to complain. The food had been excellent well cooked and the staff very considerate to all of it's customer's...

Decent little chippy, and very east to reach from the train station. The chips are crisp and golden - I prefer a light brown myself, but that's a matter of taste. Not cheap, but not too dear anyhow.

1 of the best chippys ing Kendal 👌

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.

Freshly cooked, tasty, tasty, very very tasty

Very good we are on our way home to Leeds and I just typed in Google close fish and chip shop and we arrived at yours thank you staff friendly

Popped in for dinner while training locally. So great I went back the next day. Best battered sausage ever! Great friendly service. Well recommended.

This is probably the best chippy I have been to.... Simply a must visit...
