Fish King in North Kesteven

We have been regular customers at Fish King and must comment on Saturday's food received. It was well below the standard normally received, in way chips tastied strange, and vinegar present, when not requested. Furthermore, the fish had limited flavour compared to normal, and finally, the pie pastry was extremely hard. I hope these comments are taken on board so the standard is returned to normal.

I can't complain about the service, the price or the size of portions. I'm guessing it is how the fish and chips are wrapped. I bought the meal and within 10 minutes was serving up, but when I opened the container, the chips were sticking to each other and to the paper in the box. The batter was far from crisp, is this because it is packed with the chips? A real shame, because it was a nice bit of fish. Maybe consider serving the fish and chips in separate containers?

Order online and collect, always ready on time, walk in and out. Very tasty and generous portions.

Vary nice chip fairly priced it tasted vary good vary hit serviced quickly

Easy one of the best chip shops around, gives great portions, very good value and can taste the freshness, will definitely be back

Amazing value for your money and great food always

Great fish and chip shop - takeaway ONLY now, but always quick service and the option to click and collect too. Great value for money for big families with their pizza box FULL of mains and sides! Not a huge veggie selection, but it is a fish shop - at least the chips are veggie suitable unlike some local chippies!

I'm up here visiting friends and family and we had fish and chips from Fish King. The best fish and chips I've ever eaten. Generous portions. My friends always use them and have never had any issues. Next time I'm up I'll be having them again!!!

Just stunning and worth every penny. Take away felt Fresh, hot, batter was thin and crispy. Way too much food. Can’t fault it !

It's ok, the shop is clean, the staff are nice and friendly but my God the chips are so soggy, undercooked and disgusting - completely inedible. Eaten here 3 times now, and every time has been the same which suggests this is their default style. Cod, Haddock and 1/4 pounder were all ok.

Once again we have returned fish and chips due to the fish not being cooked enough. The batter looks nice and brown but the fish is really uncooked, sloppy and tasteless. Even the inside of the batter was soft and uncooked the first time. They gave a replacement, it was no better. Luckily we dont live far from them to return but we shall go elsewhere now.

Absolutely the best fish and chips I've had in a long time .. great portions and affordable prices

Extremely busy , assistants helpful

Satarday 6.30pm,fish,chips,peas x2..fish overcooked and dry,small chips ? Best part of the meal was the peas,you must have a new fryer person because it was way below your standards,will be going elsewhere for a while.Staff great as always.

Came in yesterday never been in before first impressions were very good the place was spotless the food in the warmer looked fresh and the staff seemed friendly we were served by a young girl named Emily she was very polite and smiled all the time made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent couldn't fault it at all we will definitely be back.

Extremely good value for money almost too much food.

Charlotte is an amazing employee, every time I've come in she works above and beyond to make sure people are looked after. She is a credit to the business

just brought takeaway large cod & small chops !!!! so disappointed with the fish & batter was so dry to the point of dehydrated & the exact opposite with undercooked chips !! Defiantly not a great traditional Friday night special, will not recommend or use this chippie again

The food was really good here, the sharing box is great value, at £11, while also having more than enough food for 4 people. Great location as it is very near lincoln but was not too busy. The fishcake was really good.

I arrived at Fish King today as a very hungry hippo with my family. We have never been before but had recommendations from a few people. We opted for the £11 sharing box. It's a pizza box with 4 items (your choice of sausages, burgers, fishcakes) plus 4 pots of sauce (your choice of either curry, gravy, peas, beans) then the box is crammed with delicious chips. All well cooked, batter crisp and bubbly, chips not anaemic like some places and very tasty . After 30 minutes of stuffing our faces In a nearby park we all had delightfully full bellies and brought a load of leftover chips home to fry up with some spices and enjoy as salt and pepper chips tomorrow. Will definitely return in the future. A solid 9/10 from the Hippo.

Really good chippy with consistently great food and the online order facility avoids the need to queue which I love. Value is decent also.

Service is very fast. Lovely food. Nice interior. No indoor dining.

Nice fish n chips.only issue I found is that they don't know what a fish butty is. It has chip butty on the menu, but when I asked for a fish butty they said they didn't do that. Would it have been that hard to put a fish into a bun? Never had a chippy that refused to do a fish butty. But other than that, good chippy.

Superb chippy, rarely had a better fishy feast than the tempting grub on offer at The Fish King in North Hykeham. Fantastic fish, sometimes you get one the size of a small shark and the chip portions are large too. The associated choices, fishcakes, burgers, etc are all top notch too. Sensational food, can't beat it. Recommended

Good fish and chips at a reasonable price

Will recommend any day of the week good fish and chips.

We love coming to the chip shop but unfortunately wasn't happy with the fact that mobile and delivery was prioritised over customers walking in

Great chip shop with fantastic staff. Reasonable prices and excellent food.

Great menu choices. Food was piping hot and delicious 😋

First time I've tried this shop for a much better service and quality of food than Rookery Lane.

Absolutely first class food and service. I am partial non-verbal and the staff are so patient and courteous and always ask how I am. Please pass on my thanks to them all.

Monster fish, decent price. The other customers smelt and looked a bit... fishy

Awesome Chish and Fips good selection, fab deal pricing and great quick service. There's even an app to go to if your planning ahead so ya can walk straight in and collect your order. What's not to like 🤪

As per usual, very busy but the staff are very well organised and complete orders efficiently. Meals were all piping hot and delicious. Hands down the best chippy in Hykeham.

Absolutely deeeeelicious chips...

We haven’t used this chippy for about a year The last time we had food here it was lovely But tonight omg!!!!! Shocking it was disgusting the chips had a really dry horrible taste to them none of us could eat them Won’t ever use this place again! My husband was shocked cause apparently it was quite busy!!

Great fish and chips as always, good size fish too .

Excellent and reasonable price by today's crazy standards

Came to get fish and chips expecting fresh fish to order like most chippies.. here they had around 10 fish already cooked and ready to go in the warmer.. I appreciate preparing for a rush but there were only 2 customers in the shop and fish only takes a few minutes to fry fresh. Our fish had soggy batter and the fish itself was rubbery, probably due to being sat in the warmer previously. The fish had no decent flavour, nor did the chips, except for the taste of possibly old potatoes, maybe the last toward the end of a batch. The chips were also soggy and coming apart in the wrapping despite us opening them up and tucking in minutes after purchase (still in the car, eager to eat before we got home) there is no good reason for this quality except laziness. Would not recommend especially as there are many chip shops in the surrounding area with much higher quality.

Huge portions and really delicious 😋

Best fish and chips my husband and I have had for a very long time We live in Navenby, will definitely be back

Well over six miles from my house, but the delicious fish and chips make the journey worthwhile. I've rarely had to queue for more that a few minutes, and have never had to wait for cod. Chip portions are really generous. Helpful staff.

Very nice food massive portions nice staff on counter

Excellent fish and chips. Great ordering service.

It’s enough to say it’s one of the best chippies in East Midlands. When living in area surrounded by average to very bad chippies, I always look forward to next trip to Lincoln where this place is a must go stop on a journey.

Amazing fish and chips! The staff is friendly and polite, service is always quick and value for money is great. The fish is fresh and tasty, the batter is just perfect and the chips are delicious. We love their chip shop curry sauce, it's so flavoursome! They certainly use quality ingredients and they are very consistent. And the portions are enormous!

Fantastic girls serving , and delicious fish and chips

Chips on the evening of 2nd June were awful. Dried up and inedible. The quality was extremely poor and they should be ashamed to let these go out. I felt like bagging them up and taking them back.

Stopped off on way back from the airport after holidays and craved fish and chips and was sadly let down. Soggy and greasy and chips were floury and bland. Was recommended to us in the past but due to not being close by hadn't had a chance to go. Had three bites and felt sick it was that soggy and greasy. Spent over £20 on it to be wasted as it was terrible. Would not recommend it to anyone and has put me personally off fish and chips for the foreseeable future.

Once again the food was really good. Lovely crispy batter . One portion of chips was enough for two of us to share

What a fantastic fish and chip shop. The staff are very friendly and the prices are really reasonable. Cannot fault the fish and chips some of the best we have ever had. Would recommend if you haven’t tried this fish and chip shop please give it a go sure you won’t be disappointed.

Used the online ordering, can't fault them.

Good food and service. Good of alternatives if you don't want fish.

Wow Wow. The battered halloumi is so good, it’s a must have! Sarah was so lovely too

Always been a great experience. Well served, polite staff, great value for money. 5⭐️

Good value and decent quality food although I do feel that portion size has started to decrease on recent visits.

Great local chippy, very reasonable prices and friendly staff

Great fish and chips!! The batter contains no milk so it’s perfect for anyone with milk intolerance. The staff are really friendly and I get served quickly. The food is delicious and there’s plenty in their portions. I definitely recommend here

Amazing food! Large portions, super delicious

Hit or miss sometime good sometimes not so good

Over priced ..made to feel very uncomfortable by the two young men doing the frying ..sniggering and whispering like a couple of ten year old children ...will not use again .

Always good service and excellent portions go 3 times a week

Fresh out yhe fryer and lovely fish, altho tiny. Chips were either frozen or processed.. lots of reasons I know this...but I do know! So highly disappointed today I'm afraid.

First time of using would go more often if we lived nearby.

Top fish and chips. Very generous portions. And click and collect meant no waiting.

Great quality and service. Love the battered mushrooms and steak pie. Fish is excellent. Big portions. Great prices.

Everything you need from a chipshop. Actually pleased I don't live closer as that would be dangerous!

Small portion of fish and chips is enough for two to share. Great value.

Ordered many times. Excellent food, great service. Best in Lincoln!

Excellent service, well organised food great

Me and my partner visited today! And was very disappointed by the taste of nuggets and chips that tasted like urine! We ordered to sides and only got one! Never will we visit again

Have gone here for years always been good but visited recently and the menu had changed. Instead of Haddock, Cod etc it just said Fish. I asked what type of fish was it and was told erm think its haddock. Got it home didnt taste like Haddock or Cod probably coley Or whiting. Not good enough.

Very disappointed This chip shop used to be the best in the area, however having got home with our meals, when we opened the chips I thought they had given us mashed potato. It was difficult to find an individual chip, the mushy peas had so much green food colour in them I thought the Hulk had had an accident, they were very dark green (unnatural). The batter on the fish was also very average and not as bubbly crispy as I have experienced from this chip shop before. We had ordered a regular and a large fish but it was impossible to tell the difference between the two and neither fish was that large. We will not be visiting again in a hurry. Have given The Fish King another try, and what a difference!!! This has completely turned round and is back to being the best, well done,staff are excellent too 5 stars

THE FISH KING has recently opened in Lincoln. It is by the side of the river, opposite Marks and Spencer. Went today and can recommend it. Nice food, clean restaurant and pleasant service. I had Regular fish, chips, mushy peas bread butter and tea. £8.95. If you visit Lincoln you will find this to be a good ‘PLAICE’ to visit

Large fish and chips was extremely bigger than I expected, amazing quality and portion size, couldn't finish the chips, mushy peas and curry sauce the best.

Excellent service and top quality fish ❤

Superb quality of food always. Cannot fault and excellent customer service. Best Chippy in North Hykeham, have used for years now.

High quality food great staff very clean shop excellent value

Great fish and chips with a very good team behind the counter.

Great fish always cooked perfectly, light brown batter. Busy on Friday tea, but you can click and collect. Loads of staff at busy times so waiting time is minimum. Friendly staff always. Medium fish is large, fish is what I call 'thick' no thin fillets here. I would say better than the 'elite', its always very consistent food too. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely the best place to go for fish and chips the only place in lincoln thats decent compared to other fish and chip shop best and only place to go 5*****

Two chippies closer to home than this one,say no more

Amazing as always. Friendly staff, covid safe and exceptional meals every time

Great food best I've had in Lincoln pleasant staff always clean and seem welcoming to customers thanks from the amazing COD

Best chippy in Lincoln/Hykeham. Always fast n hot.

Always excellent grub, friendly and efficient.

If there is a better fish shop within 10 miles I don't know of it Even the 'Small' fish and chips at £3-80 is more than enough for the average person The quality of the fish and the large chips is excellent A weekly treat for me and the missus and we love it

Quick service,lovely cooked fish b

Been a great chip shop for years but tonight I got served a potato fritter rather than fish. An honest mistake I'm sure but there was a lot of kids behind the counter tonight and not much supervision.

Not the cleanest of places and a bit smelly. Although food very good

Had the fish and chip deal , fresh hot and delicious , will use again

Very good quality and value , staff friendly and efficient

Very good fish and chips, definitely recommended.

Good value food. Well presented & cooked

Great prices for good quality fish and chips.

Quite simply the best Fish & Chips ANYWHERE and has been as good since the day it opened years ago.

I only write reviews if they are exceptionally good or exceptionally bad, there is no inbetween. Fish King has always been very good, never had any complaints whatsoever. Their new potato chips were absolutely gorgeous! And with their haddock it was a beautifully cooked meal. Can't fault it. I'm not going to waste my time going anywhere else. I have tried a few others in Lincoln and have been very disappointed.

Yes nice pie and chips with curry sauce.

It's the best in Lincoln! (Cod & chips).

Always good, it's fish and chips we all love,
