This fish and chip restaurant has changed its name to ANCHORS but everything else is as good as it has always been. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the fish and chips are the best I’ve ever had.

El precio del almuerzo de contracción crediticia ha aumentado enormemente, el tamaño de la porción es ahora una fracción de lo que solía ser y la calidad no se acerca a la de antes. La rotación del personal es bastante alta, lo que se refleja en el mal servicio que recibe de la mayoría, pero no todo el personal y el personal suele ser muy joven y parece desinteresado. No esperaría que irradiaran entusiasmo, pero un cierto nivel de servicio sería bueno. Lo triste es que solía ser muy bueno y ganaron un premio, pero dejaron que las cosas se les escaparan y quitaron la vista de la pelota o perdieron la concentración.

This is my grandmas favorite fish and chip shop. I used to agree with her but the last couple of times I have gone the cod had a soggy batter and the chips weren’t up to the high standard that you would expect. The food is edible but it doesn’t warrant the price.

Para reflejar algunas otras críticas aquí, he estado yendo aquí durante años y parece haberse deteriorado en los últimos meses.Hoy nos dijeron mientras estábamos sentados que no podíamos pedir que nos llevaran, lo cual es algo que hemos hecho en muchas ocasiones. Se vio obligado a caminar afuera al final y entrar en la comida que es la misma cocina.Aparentemente, el servidor se disculpó con mis colegas diciendo que a la cocina no le gustan los pedidos que llegan de esa manera. Pero anteriormente dije que no estaban tan ocupados podrían haberlo hecho. Había otras 4 mesas ocupadas.Ha habido un cambio de marca a "Anclas", pero un folleto en el mostrador explicando que todavía está bajo la misma propiedad.Cambio distintivo en el personal en los últimos meses y también el tamaño de las porciones reducido hoy.La cocina ya no tendrá que sufrir mis órdenes de esa manera, ya que no volveré, lo cual es una pena como he disfrutado anteriormente.Decepcionante. . .

Después de haber pedido que se llevara un gran pescado y papas fritas, me decepcionó llegar a casa para encontrar que el pescado no estaba bien cocinado y hacía frío adentro. Llamé para decir que lo traería de vuelta y me gustaría un reembolso. Me ofrecieron un pez de reemplazo por teléfono, pero rechacé porque ya había terminado mis chips en esta etapa. Regresé a la tienda, entregué el pescado y pedí un crédito a mi tarjeta. Me dijeron que no podían hacer eso y ofrecí un reembolso en efectivo. A pesar de una disculpa por teléfono, no fueron un reconocimiento más mientras estaba en la tienda. ¡Sentí que era un problema para ellos! ! ! Después de haber estado yendo allí durante años y siempre tuve una excelente comida o comida para llevar, nunca he tenido un servicio al cliente tan deficiente. . . . . . .

Guau. Mi esposa y yo fuimos esta noche a buscar pescado y papas fritas. Después de esperar 20 minutos sin signos de que llegara la comida, decidimos que iríamos a otro lado y pedimos un reembolso. En serio, el joven tímido (!) Joven con barba a cargo de la fritura se volvió agresivo y golpeó el dinero en el mostrador. Le dije que tenía una mala actitud y recibí un montón de palabras verbales y creo que incluso habló de noquearme en un momento. Me dijo que "hiciera uno" y estaba feliz de hacerlo. ¿Creías que un chippy era comida rápida? Fui a otro chippy (Bacalao rebozado en Ladybarn) y entré / salí en minutos. Sé que Fosters es un lugar concurrido y la joven fue muy amable y se disculpó, pero el tipo agresivo está seriamente en el trabajo equivocado.

Hemos estado visitando Fosters durante los últimos 4 años y estoy realmente decepcionado de lo cuesta abajo que ha ido en los últimos meses. Ha habido algunos cambios en el personal y el servicio actualmente es muy pobre. El personal parece más interesado en socializar entre sí que en servir a los clientes. Pedimos comida para llevar y la comida estaba fría, las porciones eran muy desiguales con una de ellas significativamente más pequeña que la otra, a pesar de ser del mismo orden. Solíamos estar realmente impresionados por el servicio y la comida aquí, pero no volveremos después del mal servicio y la comida que recibimos esta vez.

we came in here expecting a great experience because of the reputation..unfortunately your only as good as you are now, and now your terrible! we was given menus by a young woman with no hello or smile, she went behind the bar to be more interested in her phone! maybee ordering more suitable shoes for the job---- the doc Martin's didn't quite go with the nose rings... Personality was not her strong point, it's a shame she is concentrating more on her style and mobile phone, than on her job and customers. we felt like we were an inconvenience and did not stay for anything more than our main meals, of which I must say also did not live up to reputation.Such a pity as I am sure a business like this could be fantastic with people who care about what they are doing.Sadly it will be a long time before I return and try again.

I wish I’d listened to the recent negative reviews. Based on the positive views on Google I decided to give it try. It was mediocre at best. The chips weren’t fully cooked and some were very soggy. The cod and the pie were ok, not great but alright. My chips portion was very generous but my partners was quite small. The girl serving was very polite and at one point I overheard her arguing with the chef who was telling her off for asking for more chips. Her response was that she didn’t want to give customers half portions. I’m guessing the guy refuses to increase my partner’s portion in the end. Quite disappointed because last time we went there when it was still under the original management we were very impressed. I’d avoid it at all cost.

I’m a local who lives pretty much around the corner. I have been here twice now, they don’t know how to cook a crispy chip no genuinely. I even asked them for ‘well-done’ chips but hey just don’t get it. Cod had SOGGY BATTER and was small, I got a pie that was inedible as it’s main filling was unexpectedly salt.

I entered the place and there was a younger man having a right go at an older man about going before him in the queue. Shame on you. The place does not lend itself to who has been served etc it’s a right mixed up affair. The woman at the front of the counter never smiled and was seriously rude. I ordered 4 fish but only got 3. The girl kept getting my order wrong. The incredibly aggressive looking man frying fish shouted to her or to me ??? You’ll have to wait for another one. I was waiting for over 30 minutes and no one apologised.

las papas fritas son geniales y no son un mal precio, un pez grande es un pez GRANDE, hicimos la opción de llevar no sentado, pero si desea que los clientes regresen, capacite a su personal para que sea amable con la gente: el pedido fue tomado por un encantador jovencita, sin embargo, había otros 2 miembros del personal allí, un chico más joven que parecía que no había sonreído todo el día, o era tarde y no podía ser molestado, el segundo chico mayor estaba tomando una orden telefónica, ¿por qué? la persona al otro lado del teléfono que hizo el pedido con él estaba más allá de mí, ¡quien le dice a un cliente que debe hacer un pedido antes si quieren servir a las 8 cuando cierras a las 10! ! ! ! la comida fue rápidamente embolsada y casi arrojada sobre el mostrador hacia nosotros, lo siento mucho por la joven que también tiene que trabajar con esto, también estoy bastante segura de que ya no se llama Fosters, con suerte los que están en Alderley no tienen ¡una conexión con estas personas e intenta cambiar el nombre aquí!

Como familia, es decir, 3 adultos y 2 niños, decidimos obtener una comida para llevar mientras visitábamos a un familiar cercano. La vez anterior que habíamos visitado para una comida para llevar, la comida era normal, pero lo que me dejó enfermo fue a un tipo que tenía el cabello muy largo y suelto. Esta vez, sin embargo, afortunadamente no había ni rastro del tipo de pelo largo. ¡Pero puedo decir honestamente que fueron las peores fichas que he probado! Piensa que debieron ser recalentados varias veces, ya que simplemente podías probar el aceite y el desengaño y también estaban llenos de trocitos negros. Mi nieta ordenó el hollumi maltratado y dijo que también era asqueroso. Las tartas que pedimos estaban bien, gracias a Dios, pero obviamente no se trataba de ellas. Sin duda no volveremos a frecuentar este establecimiento, ¡qué vergüenza, Foster! ! !

Visité a Fosters con mi compañero y pedí una bandeja para dos. Solo había una persona delante de nosotros, así que me senté a esperar que fuera una preparación inmediata. Unos minutos más tarde, un tipo con una barba de cara completa entró y me ordenó algo muy similar a mí. Otros llegaron y el lugar se puso muy ocupado. Después de 10 minutos más o menos, mi orden (o eso pensaba) estaba siendo preparada. Naturalmente, me puse de pie esperando recibir mi comida cuando el hombre de la barba tomó la comida y abandonó el edificio. Le pregunté al servidor qué estaba pasando con mi pedido y me dijeron: 'Él es el propietario, ¿qué puedo hacer? 'Entonces, el dueño entra, empuja al frente y toma su comida gratis sin pensar en los que realmente pagan sus gastos generales. Los demás en la cola fueron atendidos muy por delante de nosotros gracias a este tratamiento grosero. Señor Foster, su comportamiento fue simplemente deshonroso.

My husband, daughter and myself took my three year old grandson for lunch on Friday of last week. The restaurant was pretty full when we were seated and continued to fill as we ate. It was a scorching hot day and the very young waitress was, for the first half hour we were there, the only member of serving staff until a young gentleman arrived to help. Despite being really swamped , she was friendly and helpful, and patient with my little grandson, taking the time to chat and have a laugh with us. The waiter who brought our food was most apologetic about a small error with my order. These two staff were having a difficult day but I'd like to give them credit for being professional and charming. The food as always was delicious and well priced.

Fosters used to be an almost flawless chippy in the heart of Didsbury. However over the last 12 months or so I’ve noticed a deterioration in its standards. The fish doesn’t seem to be of the same quality. The haddock used to be fulsome but now seems very schrivelled. I can only assume that are not sourcing the fish from the same place or are ordering a poor standards or cooking it in a different manner. So much so that the last few times I’ve gone for the safer option of hake which is always nice, well cooked and tasty. The chips are far too few in supply. I don’t really believe in the “free chips” nonsense as you appear to get far fewer to start with in the first place and human psychology dictates that only about 1 in 20 customers ask for extra chips anyway. They should just give everybody a normal size portion and let those who want more to pay for them or give them away free. The curry is very nice as is the chocolate orange cake (one of the nicest cakes I’ve ever tasted) and mint chocolate ice cream. The staff have always been lovely but I get the impression that they always could do with one extra set of hands on deck in either serving or frying. The take away is never as good as the sit it. The fish and chips are put in cardboard which whilst fancy doesn’t keep the food warm. They’d be better off doing it the traditional way which does keep it warm or using a conductor like foil. Shame really because you’ve never had a proper Fosters until you’ve sat in the way it is and I only live a few mins away so can only imagine how cold or luke warm it would be if I lived 3 or 4 miles away. Well run in the main and a good place to take family or friends.

It's easy for a traveller to the UK to succomb to long-standing prejudices: That the brits only know a few fish by name and those they do acknowledge, they wrap in batter and broil in oil. Sometimes these conclusions are irresistible. But what stands out here is not the cod thought it be delicious and ample, but the tangible happiness of the staff. They don't hover here, or disappear silently. They participate. You hear them.

We went on a Thursday evening. My first visit, although I don’t live too far away. Extremely impressed with the staff. We received attentive & friendly service and will definitely return.Thank you & keep up the good work!

Ok here is my honest review of Fosters!Disappointed! Tonight we were fancying a proper chip shop tea! We chose to eat in and i would give the surroundings ten out of ten! But and this is the shame, I do not feel that i have had a chip shop meal. The chips were not chip shop chips, the curry sauce was what i would expect from a chinese and the fish needed the batter to be crisper. They claim the tartar sauce to be homemade, in my opinion it was mayonnaise with a flavour that was unrecognisable! Overall had i have gone to a pub for a meal and been served this i would have been complimentary but this is NOT a chip shop meal that i would like to have again. We had cokes with our meal and these were warm. Would i recommend this chip shop? No sorry i would not.

Fosters is fantastic either for those with or without allergies. Gluten free food is available on Sundays. There is even gluten free vinegar available. It's good value for money and has lovely surroundings and the staff are attentive and polite. This is to be a regular haunt for us.

Just got a take away after craving fish and chips.On arrival I stood for a good 5mins no acknowledgement, they seemed more interested in getting the previous orders ready.Eventually the lady took my order and I must stress the language used was very street wise and not professional at all, which I was shocked at.Eventually got the food and I must say it was very nice, apart from the service which needs to be looked into.

Top qualo fish (fresh with crispy light batter) & chips (with free top-ups for the greedy), friendly & attentive staff - reasonable lunch time 'credit crunch' offers too. Recently spruced up interior adds to the enjoyment of dining in here too

My partner and I have come to Fosters a few times, we love the food and the staff are so warm, friendly and efficient and know many of their customers by name. In particular I recommend the John Dory, and the chips are pretty good too! You wont go hungry as the portion sizes are large, but this makes up for the slightly raised prices- although this may also be because it is in didsbury. The actual place itself is also very cute with fairy light and with a welcoming cafe vibe. Overall, I would recommend to a friend.

We had family visiting from abroad and staying in Didsbury. We were recommended Fosters because some of my cousins hadn't had Fish & Chips for a long time. We were not disappointed, the variety of fish and sizes was great, the bottomless chips is a great idea and the best i've tasted in a long while. I presume they were cooked in beef dripping because they had that special and particular taste i recall from my childhood. They come with a variety of sides, we chose mushy peas and curry again both tasty. The staff were lovely and we were served very quickly, theres nothing better than freshly cooked battered cod and chips, If your in the area would definitely recommend a visit.

Decided to get some grub with the Mrs and walking past this place we went in on an of chance, wish we hadn't! Rude staff and a 25 minute wait for 2 soggy bits of fish and cremated chips! The overall taste of the fish was nice but was let down by everything else. Would not recommend

Arrived and was queuing by 4:25, we wanted a lunch deal which was fish chips and a side before 4:30. We got to the till at exactly 4:30 and we were refused the lunch deal! The woman didn't even check the time or apologise, plain rude! We decided to leave and get dinner else where :)

On arrival, no staff appeared for 10 minutes - there was a queue of 6 - a telephone order to be collected had not even been started...half an hour wait. Food was abysmal - cold catering bag chips but worst of all the cod was TINY. The standard size cod is advertised as 8oz it weighed in @ less than 5oz & that included the greasy soggy batter. I tried it a few weeks ago & was served a similarly small size fish so it was not a one off.Has this place changed hands ? 6 months ago it was the best now it is the worst...

Used to visit regularly first time in around a year. Never again fish was almost inedible for both my friend and I. Totally underdone,too much batter and fish appeared wet. What a shame will not be visiting again

Only went in to get a small portion of chips for my daughter. Small portion not possible only regular and large, and for a regular the price was shocking. Once open the chips were cold hard and 50% were full of black bits. So glad we didn't spend any more in this place. Wanted to go back in and complain, but was too much hassle. Whilst was waiting a deliveroo driver was in waiting for an order. I seriously pity the fools that had made the order. Will never go back here again

Now it's had its makeover, it is even easier to accommodate a large party.I have dined as part of a club visits and as a twosome, and enjoyed the menu both times.Refill chips are a great idea, as you leave feeling satisfied and well fed, always the sign of a good decision to go Fosters.

I've had a couple of takeaways from here that haven't been quite as good as I'd hoped but popped in for a sit down chip barm post-cricket on a Monday night. Service was friendly, smiley and quick. Chips were really good! Crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, no complaints!

If you're dining alone of with friends and you don't have much time or money, this fish restaurant is a good bet. Freshly cooked fish, tasting of the sea. Excellent variety of fish on the menu. A pot of tea or a beer, it can be ordered with your food. At seven o'clock, you'll be served right away. I dine alone and think this is worth the effort of travel. Friendly staff, very attentive. Very clean and well decorated with local information to browse while you sit. 25% student discount every day and a brisk takeaway service. What could be better?

I ordered the salmon burger and chips. For a start I could get nicer chips from my local chippy for for half the price. I"m not even sure the salmon burger was salmon. It was hard and lacked flavour. In fact I stopped eating it after a few bites because i was concerned it might be chicken. Very poor, will not be ordering again.

Traditional style pub on the bank of the canal with a distinctly countryside feel to it. Big terrace and 2 floors of indoor seating, plus a huge bar, offering a good selection of ales (incl. hand pulled) and usually fast / efficient service. Food is traditional pub fare, looks great for omnivores but a bit limited for vegans. Also it’s dog friendly. All in all, one of the best pubs in the city. Just tried the vegan Sunday (nut) roast today. Decent, but a bit sparse on vegetables for £20 (incl. service charge). Shame, this great pub lets itself down on food, certainly on the vegan dishes we have tried.
