Foster's Fish and Chips Takeaway in Stockport

Very very average I have only used Fosters three or four times and never had very good food I only went this time as a last resort as two other local chippys were closed should have known better and had a can of soup at home I was disappointed again don't think I will visit again any time soon

I’m rating this 1 * and this is due to the complete lack of commercial acumen of the owner - if you arrive at 19:00 on Friday night and there are 10 people queuing then a reasonable assumption would be some of them want fish! Not wait until you order and then wait 15 minutes until it’s cooked… The quality and quantity are excellent - probably best in Manchester - excellent. Just shouldn’t wait 45 minutes to get served from queue to food

Top notch haddock and chips, batter was still crispy after the journey home!!

Extremely disappointed with the quality of food. All of the burgers were sold out so opted for the Southern fried chicken pieces which was inedible. The chips were disgusting! Incredibly overpriced

We’ve been here a few times. I don’t understand this mixed reviews. Really good chippy!

Clean. Service efficient. Food was good.

I went to get a kids meal which has gone up in price quite a bit from £4.95 to £6.50 but that is ok as prices have gone up all around. Now they have also removed the nice boxed packaging the kids meal came in...which when I purchased 4 or 5 for the family and friends it made it so much easier....giving it to the kids and then straight in the recycling bin. Now I have to get plates out...so price up and no packaging ....more hassle for me. But fine...I understand businesses have to review their offerings. However, tonight, I went to get just one portion of 1 sausage and kids chips and gravy. But no go tonight as they had a limited menu due to Good Friday! Wow, if only normal restaurants had the luxury of reducing their menu by probably 75% due to Good Friday. But anyway....ok. However, finally I paid £7.95 for one large sausage, a small pot of gravy and chips. The chips should have been the large portion as they removed the kids deal, but I just got what you would normally get for £6.50....not sure what I paid that extra £1.50 nearly for....I got the normal kids deal at an increased price. Honestly I find this place very unfriendly and always with a chip on their shoulder one way or another they never give the full service. I only go there because our kids want sausage and chips and its near and I am tired of cooking all week after work...so its supposed to be a fair treat! First review I decided to finally give after years of frustration for various things!

Went to grab a large portion of chips today, cost me £4.95! For re-fried chips from the night before!! Was absolutely disgusting, couldn’t even feed them to my children as they were rock hard. These people are robbing people!!! I don’t mind paying the price if I’m getting good quality food, but not for left over food! My dog wouldn’t even eat these. Then I tried to call them up a number of times and the phone went straight to a automated voice message, and now I know why… as they keep having customers off and don’t want them calling to give them a ear load !! Please stay away everyone, you will be wasting your money!! Go the extra mile or 2 and get amazing food from Whittaker or Luke’s!!! (C/Hulme)

Over priced and small portions . The chips are huge not like normal Chippys and brown from old oil . Staff are nice , but I will stick to Whittaker

If you want good old fashioned fish and chips then go here! It's not the cheapest but quality counts. If the staff aren't serving they're cleaning. All fish cooked fresh to order.

AVOID ! 3.9 score is totally ridiculous, they are more a 1/5 Greasy oily Fish and chips, over cooked like 3 day old food! Disgusting and inedible, they should be ashamed especially at their prices. Go to Whitakers if you are local to heald green or bramhall it's way way better quality

An absolute rip off double the price of all other local fish and chips shops and not even good food, over staffed which is probably the reason for the extortionate prices.

Absolutely vile. The most overrated chippy in Bramhall. All style no substance. My cod had hardly any fish in it and the chips were bland. Wish I could get a refund! Whittakers in Cheadle hulme is the best local chippy in the area. Used the Deliveroo discount code and thought I would give Foster’s a second chance…never again! Try somewhere else.

It's a really nice place. The people are always friendly and the food is tasty. I wad slightly puzzled when I went in recently to order a fish barm only to be told that they didn't do fish barms but 'I can give you a fish and a barm if you like', but I'm willing to excuse that 😀

Considering the amount of completion in the area. Service without a SMILE, the guy cooking the fish grumpy as they come. Portion size not good. Taste really poor. Will never return.

Had a meal tonight and it was terrible the chips didn't seem fresh they were hard and tasteless, the fish wasn't really up to scratch, and my overall experience was awful and one of the worst chippy I've had in my life. Over priced and disappointing Would avoid. Whitikers in cheadle hulme is 10x better

Price now extortionate and portions halved. I thought long and hard about writing this and feel really sad to write this review about a local business during tough times. We have always used Fosters but today have paid £25for a tray for 2(fish and chips and 2 sides for 2 people). The portions have halved since the last time we had this(8 weeks ago?). The peas and sides are half a portion (in smaller containers), the fish is more batter than fish, chips aren’t for 2 people. Due to the expense of this meal we used to share between at least 3 of us but tonight did not satisfy 2. Not sure what the answer is but it felt extortionate and prohibitive for the future. Just had a quick look at another local chippy and fish and chips x 2 and 2 sides nearly £6 cheaper. Can’t comment on size and quality but will try next time.

This place is good the popcorn chicken was nice, the fish was nicely cooked crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. Honestly the best fish and chips around. Recommend to all.

This was a snap decision to have Fish & Chips. Waiting time was short.The staff are helpful and friendly.

Chips were lovely, homemade tartare lovely and same with the fish 10/10

Excellent local chip shop. Good portions with fish cooked to order. Pleasant helpful staff.

Brilliant fish and chips and the service could not be better. Genuinely trying to give customers exactly what they want

Great chippy , highly recommended

Went into Fosters for a quick tea after a very busy day. It was roughly 8.30pm. Closes at 9. Now I completely understand that at that time of night they will be winding down, cleaning etc. Fryers may be turned off etc etc. Maybe a limited selection. I understand. I work in hospitality I get it. But at least acknowledge the customer when they walk in. Don't make it obvious that cleaning is more important than a customer standing there. If you are going to serve food until 9 make sure at least the staff explain if its limited. This isn't the first time I have been disappointed just felt compelled to air my view on this occasion. Its a shame. The only chippy in the centre of Bramhall.

Best chippy in Cheshire You can't beat a Fosters fish and chips, the chips are always excellent and the fish freshly cooked.And very good customer service,the staff are second to none,service with a smile 🤗👍

What terrible service, ordered haddock and chips with 2 people waiting already. People who came in after me got their orders and after 20 mins I asked where mine was…….they forgot, so my fish was dried up and rubbery and they use frozen chips. Never again.

Badly cooked fish - should not have been sent out! Chips were nice and popcorn chicken not worth it. ☹️

Cooked in rancid oil. Not edible

We have been customers for many many years and have always enjoyed the food and the service. Yes prices have risen steeply but you sometimes have to pay for quality. What customers do not pay for is disrespect and poor service. We arrived placed an order and the team member laughed at us. “Why the laughing “ “oh there is no fish. We have a large order to do so no one’s getting fish as the fryers are fully committed. Now I get on line ordering and it’s a god send to businesses and would not want to see it stop. However if you have a walk in business and cannot provide what your customers come in for it’s not great. There was no apology, no what else can I get you. Well off to the Dorchester on Bramhall Lane Hazel Grove we went. Fanatic fish and chips served with a smile…..and a thank you….best of all £5 cheaper than Fosters The Dorchester gained customers for the future.

We ordered a takeaway here on our way home from dropping our son at University. The woman who served us was unflaggingly polite, not just to us but to every customer. The food was perfect; piping-hot chips, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. My wife had mini fishcakes, and I had the steak pie. Really enjoyed every bite of this. I would recommend Fosters to anyone travelling this way.

Called in at lunch time, chap behind counter was preparing fish at the back of the fryer. He turned round and I said hello, he said hello back then carried on doing what he was doing. No sign of me being served so after 3 or 4 minutes I left and went elsewhere. Clearly doesn't understand the importance of customer service!

Very soggy chips. Wasn't impressed

I heard great deal about their fish and chips and I would say all true. They have real tasty fish and chips woth sauce.

Way too expensive not value for money

Firstly was very price and for the quality of the food it was not worth it at all. The chips were undercooked and there was hardly any gravy on my chips. Would not recommend at all! However, the lady who served me was lovely.

We’ve had food from here before but after last night we won’t be going again. I went in and ordered fish and chips for 2 but when I got them home I had to go straight back with them as they were so bad. The fish was over cooked, dark batter and dry inside and the chips were limp and looked like they had been hanging around since yesterday. The usual guys weren’t frying. I took them back and after a bit of talk they agreed to replace them. Off home again only to open up the box and they were worse than the first lot! My partner and I went back for the third time and the women frying were arguing that the potatoes were ‘new soft potatoes’! I wonder if the fish and chips has been partially cooked? You can’t see how they’re frying them. I’ve never heard anything like it! Anyway after some time they gave us our money back and at £20 it’s not cheap. We then went to Whittakers in Cheadle Hulme where the food was freshly cooked and tasty. Also far cheaper than Fosters. I’d recommend you go and try there. Very disappointed with Fosters.

Slow service on a Saturday night. Server forgot to ask for fish to be cooked which then sat for 5 minutes before being boxed. One piece of fish ok, the other tough. Chips were not fresh at all, soggy, overcooked and several had blackened where they had been stored. Not recommended.

The sizes of fish and portions of chips suit those with larger stomach capacity. At a quiet time there was no ready-cooked fish. As a result, service was slow but the food when ir came was fresh.

The fish is always good here because they make it fresh to order. Sadly the chips are quite often terrible, the last few times I have been here they have all been brown and burnt with the texture of cardboard.

It used to be really good, but the last two deliveries have been nothing but average with an above average price.

Service good, young lady serving with older lady frying. Various sizes of fish priced accordingly. I chose medium size. Small portion of chips was asked for but Larger portion than I thought I was getting. Unfortunately the fish was too 'battered' i.e. over cooked for me and running with oil the chips were also too oily for my palette. Almost £10.00. I will not be back.

1 star and considering that a lot! I had to wait 25 minutes for 1 cheeseburger and 1 fish&chips while was 2 people waiting prior to me and 10 more people order and served and gone after me. If the girl lady (the cook) needs 25 minutes to make a burger I am wondering in what terms of contract she was employed under! If you do not believe me what the cctv footage from 24/05/2022 at 15:35 when I reveived my receipt and the time i got served! AN AWFUL OF SERVICE !

The Bramhall shop has gone seriously down hill. £19 for a fish n chip dinner this evening for chips that were swimming in oil, over cooked on the outside and hard inside, the fish gave the impression that they have been cooked and re heated in the oil, also swimming in oil. This used to be a reasonable chippy. Way too poor a quality to want to waste 10% of my state pension on ever again.

Great chips. Nipped in for a chip barm and pleasantly surprised by quality and quantity of chips. Double fried fat chips - crunchy and v tasty.

Just paid over £12 for Fish chips peas & gravy, fish was nothing short of disgusting it must have been hanging around for a few hours as it was chewy, worst fish i have ever tried to eat and couldn't. The rest was ok but not worth the money.

Best fish and chips ever. Always perfectly cooked and piping hot. Excellent staff who are very efficient and extremely pleasant.

Not the first time lately that the chips were burned and cold in the middle, but will definitely be the last. . The taste of burnt fat was awful. What beggars belief is they know they're like that when they serve them up to you. What happened to that decent Fish & Chip shop we used to have in Bramhall?

Arrived around 9pm closing time 10 Pm. Asked for a sausage, no sausages left, ok. Asked for a portion of chips, no chips left. Seriously 1 hour before closing and you’ve run out of chips? Yes only pies left. Wow, I am speechless!

Date: 11/2/22 Time : 8.40pm Chips were overly greasy and burnt. Almost like they’d been re-cooked for a third time (as end of the night) Very disappointing !!!! Won’t be returning here for a while 🤢

'WON'T BE GIVING THIS PLACE ANY STARS' Me and my work colleague went for a takeaway lunch today at 1.50pm I ordered 2 chicken burgers and the lady said that will be £11 please which I thought was very expensive but then thought it's going to be good. Anyway I took the food to our truck oped the box and there were 2 pieces of what looked like macdonalds chicken sandwiches and thy tasted disgusting, Won't be going again.

Fish and chips bought tonight. Fish ok, but chips soggy and cold. Two fish and one portion of chips cost £16.50, so would have expected better. Used to be a good chippy, fish served with a wedge of lemon, and worth paying a bit more for, but the last two visits have disappointed, hence to poor review.

Whilst the fish & chips are okay, I was disappointed that the order online option was significantly more expensive (50p more on cod, £1 more on scampi etc) + did not offer the OAP option (or make mention that it was available in store). Whilst I understand a hosted service will take a cut (even though there is no in person order work required), it should be indicated & perhaps an overall surcharge, rather than such a lot / article.

Googled to see if Foster were open, it said they were until 9.00 pm so i drove 3 miles only to find they were closed !!!! Thanks for nothing

Ordered on Deliveroo, I very rarely write a review but when Christmas has been ruined thanks to food poisoning it's definitely a reason to give feedback. The Cod was certainly chewy and tasted reheated. We have both just woken up with horrible food poisoning! How dare such a place try to save £5 of raw ingredients let alone on the day before Christmas! If I could rate this any lower I would! And yes we have all heard about the rumours of refusing food to disabled people without masks!

Best ever fish and chips tonight. Chips perfectly cooked with no bits.

Really good fish and chips. Would recommend.

Ordered cod & chips x4 on Friday teatime. Usually the long queue is worth the wait but not on this visit. Fish was nice but the chips were inedible!! All small scrappy sharp bits you wouldn’t feed to a dog!! They were very dry and looked and tasted as though they’d been warmed up or re-heated. Absolutely atrocious! All four of us left our chips due to being inedible. Been here and the Alderley Edge Foster’s many times before and always enjoyed the fish and chunky well cooked chips. I have no idea what went wrong this time but was definitely not worth £33 we paid. Will not be returning any time soon.

As always great fish and chips .... great pie and chips ..... delivery on time and service with a smile .... really enjoyed

Best fish and chips I've found...so impressed with the freshness of everything

Simply delicious with friendly professional staff. An utterly enjoyable treat 🙂👍

Fosters are the best fish and chips I have had to enjoy. Chips double fried as standard was pleasent surprise, as I like my chips with cranchy feel. Highly recommended!

Excellent quality. The chips are double fried, the best way, which is quite unusual in the area.

Had fish and chips x 2 with mushy peas the other day. But very disappointed. Scraggy pieces of fish and chips seemed mostly the scrapings from the bottom of the chip pan. All in all far too expensive for the quality.

A bit expensive but have a great menu size, quick service and good food

Amazing again ! Perfectly cooked and delivered to the door on time and piping hot, what more can you ask for. Definitely the best around. Thanks Fosters x

SUPERB! They double fry the chips, so they're nice and crispy and absolutely delicious!

Pretty good . Lovely food . But a bit of a wait if queuing outside, best to order online then pickup

They must have worked really hard to get this so wrong, the chips were massive and under cooked, soggy and mushy. The fish over cooked and tough? I would drive a long way to not go back. We have so many good chip shops in...

I visited the shop yesterday. Whilst i was in the queue. I overhead the staff refusing service to a disabled man. There was alot of debating going on. Which made me feel very uncomfortable. From what i could gather, the man was refused service because he wasn't wearing a face mask.It was clear to me this guy was disabled. He left shocked and shaking.Having a mum with dementia i know how difficult it is to get her to don her mask. Clearly they need to change their opinion, and stop discriminating. I personally will not be returning.

Great food ... well cooked and service superb ..... very good customer service and covid guidelines really well adhered too

Very very satisfied with my meal. Unfortunately a certain male member of staff wouldn’t stop drooling whilst looking at me.

Nice 🐟 ..lots of options than any other chippy. The homemade tartar sauce was bit expensive but really nice. The batter was on the thicker side for me so next time I will definitely go for thin batter option

Probably the worst fish I have ever had , which is disappointing as I have had some good ones in the past. The fish was almost inedible , batter wanting. If the main man isn’t frying don’t bother going

Great fish and chips, good portions every time we go

The man taking my order kept staring at my chest. Nice chips though!

So, it was very tasty, however, when you spend 15 pounds on one portion of Fish and Chips (with peas and curry, not including delivery) , you expect to receive something bigger than a large fish finger. I've eaten from here plenty of times in the past and typically, their regular Cod (the largest on offer on Deliveroo) is what you'd expect from a fish and chip shop. However, this one was half the size. I rang to enquire what had happened, and the lady manager implemented a "the customer is always wrong" mentality. I'm certain this is not indicative of what they serve typically, unless they've decided to half the size of the fish they have served me in the past, and the size my dad got last week, so I wouldn't be put off by this review, however, in this case, they have earned these 2 stars. I hope they don't rip anyone else off.

The fish was delicious chips lovely 1st time been there

Great fish and chips must be the best in stockport they never disappoint

Best chippy in town. Edit: not as good as it used to be.

The fish was was overcooked, burnt, dried out & tough. Chips seemed thrice cooked & very greasy. Most of the food went in the recycling. More was brought up in the night. Draw your own conclusions... Avoid!

Sunday evening fish and chips after a day out. Fantastic fish (cod and haddock) with crispy batter all round. Thick chips cooked all the way through perfect. Really good home made tartare sauce, which had less bite than the supermarket stuff. Really complimented the fish. Spot on 👍🏻

Very poor meal tonight and delivered a half hour late. Soggy chips on top of overcooked batter and dry fish, very disappointed. Trying to support our local business but not happy to pay £22 for poor quality and service.

Shocking overcooked over priced food tasteless fish.

Excellent food but need to get better organised in getting customers orders instead of only serving one person at a time if a member of staff came outside and took peoples orders at a safe distance it could be cooking, I saw at least 4 people turn away as the wait was far to long

Sorry guys, not really sure what happened tonight. Fish overcooked and dry and chips lacking their usual crispness, peas had a bit of an odd metallic taste to them as well. nothing like the first visit last month and not sure there will be a...

This evening I called in and ordered a tray for two. I ordered the same a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent, fresh out of the fryer, piping hot and tasty. Tonight’s version, however, was quite the opposite and a huge disappointment. The...

Ordered online - very easy. Picked up - lovely light battered chunky cod and homestyle chips with mushy peas. Also was included salt and vinegar sachets and lemon wedges. Very tasty and piping hot.

Lovely crisp fish and chips with mushy peas and lemon wedge - ate every bit! Also appreciated the salt and vinegar separately as my partner does not like vinegar! We ordered online and picked it up on time, bypassing a queue outside.

Excellent fish /chips / mushy peas / tartare sauce and all hot when got home . Great staff and service . Chunky fish . Delicious 👍🏻

We had a take away the other week. Fabulous fish with light crispy batter, proper chips and mushy peas like they should be (thick and mushy). Great service as well

They've got this social distancing and contactless payment thing sewn up and in the bag. And the fish was fab too. Well done Fosters!

Second time of visiting, lovely fresh cod and enough chips in a portion for two people. Chips lovely, large and not greasy. Social distancing measures very well implemented, friendly staff and no queuing either on a Friday early evening. This is shaping up to be...

Awful overpriced dry chewy and tasteless! Waste of money as most of the food went in the bin ! First and last time I will be going in there , very disappointed ☹

Awful, burnt , dry and tasteless, complete waste of money as most of the food went in the bin , really disappointed

Food is always nice here, friendly service, would recommend, my kids love it too, I think they’re addicted

Popped in for a quick bite, ordered the half portion of fish and chips and peas, came in a box, fish same size as a fishfinger, never half a fish, paid £4.50, very nice, but advise people to order normal size fish and chips, I can’t afford to return here sadly, so thanks for the taste, But it is basically a happy meal without a toy.

So I wrote a much deserved bad review 4 wees ago. I have ordered takeaway for years from here then had very bad experience.Gave it one last chance tonight and...... it was amazing!! Best delivery ever. Stick with these pies and upgraded extras. So glad you are back to former glory!

Our search for decent fish and chips continues. Fish was OK, not good, just OK. But the chips? Hopeless. Dry, old-looking and just didn't taste nice. They were like yesterday's chips re-heated. In their defence they were advertised as "twice-cooked" so I guess that explains some of it. Personally, I prefer "once-cooked" chips so maybe its me. Pretty expensive too. Three fish, one chips, over eighteen quid! I'll continue searching...

Very Dissapointing , went in at 5 pm , on getting home (2 mins away ) , the fish was obviously reheated , barely hot and chewy , the chips again not fresh ( prob leftover from lunch trade ) , portions of curry sauce and peas very average but at £15 for 2 fish and 1 portion chips and 1 curry and 1 peas VERY , VERY , POOR VALUE. I can only assume they have had an off day or maybe taken their eye off the ball but sadly bad enough for me not to return . Will keep you updated depending on response .

This is not a restaurant, but simply a take-away; an old fashioned fish and chip shop. In fact it does sell other things besides fish and chips, but it is this that the shop excels. The chips are extremely well cooked indeed, and the fish with a very light, tasty coating of well cooked batter. The fish is generally cooked to order, so you must be prepared to wait a few minutes to be served. Portions are generous, especially of chips, and fish is available in a very large, though expensive, size as well as normal, and in smaller pieces for old age pensioners. The food is well presented and wrapped in a box ready to be eaten straight away or taken away. Highly recommended if you want high quality, but traditional British fish and chips. A standard above the average chippie nowadays.
