Fish Express in South Lakeland

Great food & service . Fish is massive

Always come here as my husband is coeliac and they do lovely gluten free fish and chips. They were lovely and brown this time. Someone said they might have been night before chips but if they were they tasted lovely

I have tried many chippies all round the area for gluten free fish and chips, and these are by FAR the best! And consistently so. Lucky for me, this is my local chippy, so I have had them 10 or more times in the last couple of years. Totally recommend!

One of the most amazing fish and chips I've ever eaten

Can't fault the food here. The regular fish and chips is huge. When it arrived we each had two big bits of fish stacked on top of one another. Really good value for money and very tasty

Nice fresh fish but greasy batter & chips.

Best chippy and good amount of food

Delicious fish, very large portion and friendly service - I recommend :)

We had food at Fish Express yesterday lunchtime and it was a great experience. The eating area is warm and clean, the staff are exceptionally friendly and the food arrived very quickly. The meal was excellent - hot, very tasty and a good portion, all at a reasonable price. The lady who was serving was also very pleasant when we left. Thanks a lot - we’ll be back 👍

Good. Really good. I'm from Leeds, and over here, its considered a sin to break from tradition and make fish and chips with a veg oil. While I was in Kendal, I simply couldn't find anywhere doing beef tallow fish and chips. Only veg oil. And so it was with Fish Express too. So my expectations were for nothing special. But I'll tell you what, this is probably the only chippie I've ever tried, which blew me away with the quality of its veg oil fish and chips. Just goes to show, while difficult, it can be done. It was up there with the good animal fat chippies. And every other aspect was good too. Lovely crispy chips. Massive portions. Really friendly staff. There was a guy opposite me having a mega portion. The portion was so huge, when it arrived I thought it was a sharing platter, but his wife had her own normal portion. You really do get your money's worth here.

Excellent fish and chips, portions were too much for both of us but food freshly cooked. Ate in and found service excellent, wide choice on menu.

Very very good fish & chips £9.99 pensioners deal, really tasty, well cooked & the staff especially Annie are so helpful & pleasant, 5 star chippy.

One of the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long while, very generous portion , fish was beautifully fresh and chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, would highly recommend

Excellent meal and a great price

Fantastic haddock and chips. Can't review any other food as I've only ever had the haddock. Lovely indoor seating and some kerbside seating if you get lucky enough with the weather.

Had their £13.5 meal offer which included large cod - chips - mushy peas & pot of tea. It was a generous plateful. Literally not needed anything else to eat all day. Excellent value - cooks care about the food being good as well. I think we should celebrate service providers like these - as a great meal can uplift someone's bad or busy day.

Best around Kendal. Great food & service, only downside is they don't do delivery, have to travel miles to get to it. :( Why do u not deliver?

Beautiful food, large portions and lovely staff, will definitely come back here again

Great place, great fish very fresh, differently recommend it.

Used to be Excellent food would really recommend, but now it's gone down hill big time the Cumberland sausage is not even a Cumberland the lad 5 times I have been so will not be going again.

Probably the nicest fish and chips I’ve ever had! Freshly cooked and quickly delivered to my table, the staff were friendly and it was LOVELY! 🥳

Yummy and great value. Perfect fish and chips, friendly team

Fish Xpress is always brilliant and our go to chippy. Last night was torchlight and regardless of being absolutely heaving, the food was still fantastic and the staff as lovely as ever. Well done!

Took us over an hour to get fish and chips and a burger. People being served after us were getting their food before us even when it was the same order. When we eventually got it we had both lost our appetite due to the wait, they gave us mushy peas instead of gravy, the burger was dry and crunchy, the chips were mushy and may aswell have been mashed potato. Won’t be wasting my money again.

Ordered one portion of chips, which were rough looking, and tasted awful

Had been to Windermere as on holiday and we always have fish and chips once when away. So we drove into Kendal to find somewhere to eat. We came across Fish Express and took a chance. But hey it was good. We ate in and the service was very good, the food was cooked to perfection and the portions were of a good size. Based on our experience we would highly recommend the Fish Express, and judging by all the people sitting in and takeaway clearly it is a popular place.

Seven of us went for our friends birthday, had pensioners special,fantastic food and plenty of it.Best of all it was served by happy smiling staff.The best fish and chip shop in Kendal!

The fish here is excellent. Very nice staff and generous portions.

Great food and fast service with a smile

Awesome chippy. Probably the best chippy chips I’ve had outside of Yorkshire, which is high praise.

Massive portions which did taste good but then we all felt/ were sick afterwards. Would not recommend based on our experience.

Chips were cooked really well, sauces etc tasty. Ordered was delivered slightly wrong but quickly sorted. Very tasty

Wife is coeliac so finding anywhere that offers GF food is hard...but happened to stumble upon this place and what a find. They offer GF Fish & Chips and GF Sausage & Chips. Wife stated that her fish and chips were up there with the best she had ever head...if not The Best. Just looking at the Chips you just knew they were freshly cooked. Please move to Derbyshire so we can have our weekly chip order.

A restaurant serving fish fillet with potatoes The food is very delicious and the service is excellent

Chips were very good, staff was friendly but the fish was quite tough and chewy. My boyfriends fish was ok. Location is good.

Called in today while on a day trip, ordered a battered haggis, was cooked fresh and was the best haggis i’ve had, very tasty and was coated in lovely well cooked batter, staff were very pleasant and friendly too, will be back for more when in the area. 27/8/24 Called in again just over a year later, ate inside this time, ordered the Haggis, Chips and Mushy Peas, also Haggis with Curry Sauce, and a Fishcake with Chips and Curry Sauce,. Food was up to the usual beautiful standard, lovely Chips which were cooked to perfection, great service from the staff, and the dining area had just been cleaned so was spotless, will be back again when in Kendal and recommend to everyone 👍

Quality fish & chips Staff were amazing

the chippys were well crispy watered the mouth and the fish tasted brilliant to perfection keep up the good mam 😋

Well what can I say food was so good forgot to take a pic considering we live in a sea side town in Kent and been to many around the country this place in Kendall in lake district beats them all definitely worth a visit you will not regret it ....fish and chips was amazing.....

Wow. Genuinely in shock. For context I’m from the south of the Uk.. I’ve never experienced such amazing portions of food and lightning speed service! This is what it is about, the front of house chap was so attentive and even asked the person in my group if they wanted gluten free vinegar as they had the gluten free option.. we didn’t know gluten free vinegar existed! The food was gorgeous, all amenities laid out on the tables ready for you to choose salt, pepper sauces. The express choice of a meal and drink and either chip butty or mushy peas is amazing. I didn’t think I’d finish all the food but I did! The south of the UK fish and chip shops, have a lot to learn from this place. Credit where credit is due, 5* all round. And everyone is so friendly, thank you. 🙏

Very kind stuff and huge portions.

Delicious really, really good fish, chips and mushy peas. Warmed me through on this cold day in August! Oh, and dog friendly!

Tasty fish and chips and ample portions What's not to like 😀

Go to lunch spot for a takeaway for lunch when I used to go to college

A fantastic fish and chip shop! They do gluten free everyday so coeliac friendly, including battered fish, battered sausage and even gluten free curry sauce!!! Will definitely be visiting again next time I visit the Lake District! Really yummy too.

Fantastic fish and chips , dog friendly and made us feel incredibly welcome

Excellent, friendly staff, fabulous Haddock and chips, just a great chippy. Having travelled a few hours specifically to eat there, I was not disappointed or judging by the other customers, nor were they.

Visit July 2024. Lovely crispy gluten free batter fish and golden brown chips. Very friendly staff

The staff were really lovely and friendly. They made us feel very welcomed. Good selection of food options. Prices were reasonable and food was tasty. Portions huge! Curly fries a must try!

The tastiest food . I really recommend this place

Great fish and chips Really tasty Amazing portions Good value for money

Great fish and chips Really tasty Amazing portions Good value for money

Popped in with mum for two pensioner specials! Small fish & chips which was more than enough!.. Really tasty and a good plate full, and traditional pot of tea 😋

They reassure me they used a separate fryer and utensils for gluten free. I then watched as they used the same utensil for the gluten free as the gluten side. I complained and they refunded but they did not look fussed whatsoever about the seriousness of this. Appalling hygiene standards

We had fish and chips today and the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. The best chippy we have been to for a long time. We would highly recommend the Fish express.

Really love this chip shop every time I come down.friendly staff and fantastic food....a must if your in the area.... Amazing gluten free option!!!

If you love fish and chips this has to be one of the very best places to eat and the young staff are an absolute credit to the place, friendly, and professional, nothing to much trouble and even offered our little dog a biscuit. I had the pensioner special which was a massive portion of fish, chips, and mushy peas and included a choice of tea, coffee, or cold drink. The quality was first class and delicious. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant Great Quality Food, Excellent Prices, and 5***** Service. 👍👍

Great place. Ate in all ad fish chops and curry sauce. Fantastic quality and freshly cooked reall enjoyed it all round worthvevery penny thank you

Best Fish and Chips I've had in a very long time. Much better than the ones consumed at Whitby a few days later. Large portion of cod, freash and lightly battered. ?Chips crisp, with fluffy inside, and great mushy peas. Would definitely return if ever in the area again.

Was on a coach trip, 7 of ate here, wow, the staff were friendly and welcoming, we dined in the fish and chips were the best we have had, we will be back, thank you.

Just popped in for a pensioners fish and chip meal. Food cooked fresh. Decent size fish, I thought it may be smaller but it wasnt. Friendly and helpful staff. Im glad my dad has this food option when he comes into Kendal, on the days he doesnt want to cook. Thank you.

Best Fish and Chips I've ever had.

Food was nice service not good just stood there. To take order didn't say anything lots better when he left not interested in serving lady came in took over 100 better

Amazing fish and chips and must peas quality cod

Lovely staff, very friendly, fish and chips were delicious, massive portions for the price! Tasted fresh and would definitely return if in the area.

Popped in with friends on a Wednesday evening for dinner. We saw some positive reviews online saying they offered gluten free fish and chips. And they did indeed, I had gluten free fish and chips, they made it fresh for me so little bit of a wait, but it was delicious! I don't think I've had better gluten free batter before! They even had gluten free vinegar for the chips which was a lovely addition and much appreciated. My friends said they enjoyed their sausages and normal fish. Portions were very generous, and the price was incredibly reasonable.

Went in tonight just for chips and curry sauce with a cup of tea. I was made to feel really welcome by the lady behind the counter and my food was delicious. This will be my go to treat whenever I am in kendal.

Extremely tasty veggie burger...honestly, the best I've had in a restaurant! We eat here whenever we're in Kendal, and it's unfailingly been a good experience. Great food, good menu choices for a fish and chip shop, always friendly service from a small, hard-working team. Of course we'll be back!

Every time I come to Kendal, I pay a visit to fish express in the town centre. In my opinion, their chips are second to none. We'll worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great fish and chips, big portions, very friendly staff. Will be back:)

Excellent chip shop, would definitely recommend.

Very often my fries looks like to this

Sometimes it's perfect but sometimes the chips can taste strange, the quality varies a lot

Just called in at lunchtime today, fish and chips best I've ever had, bloody lovely 😍

I went in at a very busy time, around 7pm, Friday evening Lots of people waiting having ordered and queue in front of me. I did consider leaving again but then it was already my turn to order. Three guys working, one on till taking orders, one cooking, one putting orders together. I was in there less than ten minutes despite all the customers. Very efficient, very polite, very tasty food. Chips just right, batter crispy and golden, fish succulent and nicely cooked. If I didn't live 5 hours away I'd go again soon.

As a regular customer, I know the food is always first class. It's a clean and welcoming restaurant with great staff.

Honest opinion food was amazing but hot take got the regular fish and chips and my god it was huge could have fed 2 of us with the regular if I was local would I become a regular

WOW!!! the fish was lovely and also massive. the chips were fresh chunky and just like we used to get when I were a kid. the curry sauce was also bang on worth driving an hour just for the chip shop!!!

One of the best fish and chip restaurants I’ve been to. Always great service and food is always delicious! They make it fresh when you order too.

The only chip shop in Kendal that I’ve found do GLUTEN FREE BATTER and it’s delicious! Great service every time.

This chip shop was recommended to us. Good service and excellent fish and chips.

Dined in and the portion was huge. Beautiful fish (very large) in lovely batter. Would definitely eat ghere again if visiting Kendal.

Fabulous service, great food… we will be back & recommended.. very kind staff considering we got there bang on 7.30pm.. food was hot & lovely.. great start to our vacation.

Good food and good portions. Traditional British eatery. Enjoyed our visit

Fish was freshly cooked, but not well drained (oil leaked through the card box and the paper bag onto clothing on the way home.) Chips were okay. The server was very polite and efficient - he used hand cleanser between tasks. I was concerned about the cook's hygiene - while standing by the food she scratched her head twice, wiped her hand round her face and nose, and brushed bits off her tee shirt. No hand cleanser between all that. I was wondering whether to cancel my order, but didn't because it was late, we were very hungry and not many chippies were open (Monday). Fortunately there were no ill effects.

Fantastic food, service and portions. Always love a dine-in option.

Stop off Kendal and decided to have fish and chips. This chippy was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Food, staff and service were excellent. Not sure what else to add other than we would also recommend.

Wow, my wife and I visited Kendal for the day and we both agreed its probably one of the best chippies we have ever had. Keep up the good work and we shall return in the future.

Their fish and chips were delicious. Very big portions and very good service. 👍

Fish and chips Is the nicest iv ever eaten, always worth a visit when in Kendal.

The best fish and chips we have had in a long time and reasonably priced too. Service was fast even though they were busy.

I’ve lived around the Lakes and The Dales for over 30 years and I’ve never come across a Chippy like it. Quality food, lovely staff, gentle atmosphere. Great

Best fish and chips I have ever experienced in uk and in addition with excellent customer service as well.i strongly recommend to eat in. Thank u fish express.

Staff very good fish and chips Great and good price . We visit every time we are in kendal.

Great gluten free fish and chips!! They even offer gluten free curry sauce for our coeliacs out there so you’re not missing out and you don’t just have an “it will do” option. Also, even when they’re busy, they’ll sort anything out for you if you have any complaints regarding your order. Definitely recommend this place!

One of the best chippy tea ever. Huge portions. Pies, haggis. All very tasteful. Congrats to the owner Daniel.

Good food at a reasonable price

Fantastic chips. Great value. Waitress welcoming and an asset to the business. Would recommend to anyone.

A great portion of chips with a good Cumberland sausage. My friend was very happy that they do gluten free. I highly recommend fish express.
