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.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍

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. 🙏

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.

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.

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.
