£6.00 for a half measure of chips in a box and two half filled cups of gravy. Sorry but that's a rip off.

Second time ordering but this time we had barely any curry sauce on chips, very dry and luke warm. Definitely not worth the money. Unhappy wasting £20 on two portions of dry chips

I ate the cheese and onion and I have to say the batter was very tough and not that nice. I was honestly very surprised and disappointed with the quality. It will not stop me ordering food from you however if you’re not told then you don’t know. Also would it hurt your delivery driver to be nice, my son (who has done that job!) the driver just said CODE 😳 nothing else.

Loyal customer for over 2 years. Got served by new girl with candulas still on wrist. I always get large chips loose but got portion of small chips in a box. When I said they were not the size of large chips, she added one scoop of chips and charged me for another portion of small chips. Its a long walk down London Road to get to Fontanna's. NEVER AGAIN, best to stay with chipshops at the top end if town.

the order stated the food would arrive at 6:25 but whenever that time would slowly arrive the delivery time changed, eventually coming at 6:45. the food was cold by the time it arrived and I had to head it up in the microwave. the taste of the food was good, but food itself being cold was disappointing

Whenever I’m passing through Carlisle station, I always take the time to visit. Food is always excellent and the service was great on this visit. I was advised there would be a wait while they cooked me a cod, which was fine as it’s definitely better cooked fresh and it wasn’t a long wait anyway. The food did not disappoint, it was all fresh and tasty and for £7.80 for a ‘small’ (it was still a healthy portion) including a side of gravy it’s a very reasonable price. For similar quality and portions down in Yorkshire where I live you’d be talking easily over £10.

What has happened to Fontanas Fish? Its gone from the best in the town to the worst since covid. After 2 previous visits, that to be honest the fish was very disappointing, we thought we’d give it one last chance. The fish was dry, thin, tasteless, very small portion, and overpriced, got put in the bin. It was by far the worst fish we’ve had. Feel sorry for the staff, as they were great. Chips were ok, can’t comment on the other items that they sell. It’s going to be the Fryery for us from now on, its back to our no1.for fish and chips in the town.

Fontana’s fish and chip shop was a find for us many years ago while travelling south of the border heading on holidays. When you see somewhere like this with a long (Zigzag) queue you can expect the grub to be good and it doesn’t disappoint. Stopped here last night after running an errand to Carlisle and had the fish and chips, more like a whale supper tbh. Portion of chips was enormous, loads under that fish, and too many for me to finish without being gluttonous. I like how they name the trawler the fish was caught from. Bit of a wait to be served about 10 minutes but worth the wait if you are calling. Oh, and only £7.50 cheaper than back home.

It's going downhill. Sometimes it feels like you are inconveniencing the staff. A bit like they can't wait to shut. It's all cleaned up and ready to go home if you call after 8pm which isn't late for a chip shop. Place is always clean and food is generally good quality. Lots of just eat or uber drivers now maybe yhey don't need walk in customers now.

We stayed for a weekend at a local AirBnB and stopped here for lunch. The food was incredible! Tom and his team were amazing and looked after us, the beer was great and the whole place had a lovely atmosphere (also dog friendly with a doggy menu!) We had the classic hot dog and the hell hound, they were HUGE! Tom gave us some great recommendations and honestly it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had out. Everything is locally sourced and homemade and we even bought some Cumberland sausage to take home. Fantastic service, food and beautiful location, I would highly recommend

Stayed for two nights in order to spend a day at the nearby Solway Aviation Museum. The Sally is exceptional in every respect and is clearly on a mission to ensure the satisfaction of all its customers. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped. Our breakfasts and dinners, chosen from a good range of options, were well up to expectations and attractively presented. Above all, the staff; each and every one, are to be commended for their excellent service; friendly, attentive and efficient. Just the best! Thank you all for making our brief stay such a pleasure.
