Fylde Fish Bar in Sefton

Visited on probably six times during summer months this year 2024 , me and my wife rate the fish & chip /steak pie lunch 10/10 , meals are served hot , on a warm plate , freshly cooked , with a complementary fried onion ring ( very tasty ) and slice of fresh lemon perfect with the cod fish, but the best of all is Sandra`s home made Tartar sause , made by Sandra herself , so creamy and satisfying , probably the best Tartar I have ever tasted , for a fairly priced and enjoyable lunch visit this place , but most of all , ask for Sandra`s home made Tartar its the best , Southport Locals Ian & Deb

We were on holiday and were looking forward to some seaside fish and chips, with high expectations we were sceptical, how we were wrong, we were recommend and Wow, we had the most beautiful fish & Chips in a lovely clean seating area with amazing service by Dee, she was wonderful and a huge credit to the business. Absolutely 100% would recommend. Thank you.

This once terrific fish and chip shop is slowly losing its way. 2 days ago my wife and I decided on a take out and I ordered, at the counter, fish and chips twice. The queue was in single figures yet it took exactly 28 minutes for my take away to be ready. We opened them 3 minutes later only to find the fish batter gooey and not with the characteristic crunchyness Fylde Road fish shop is renowned for. The chips were soggy and the meal not hot. This is the 3rd time we have been disappointed with this icon in as many weeks. We will not be going again.

Tuesday 18th June. Bought large chips and Cod. Was was shocked to find so many Large bones in the fish. What happened to fish being flitted ? Don’t want to spend my time picking bones from fish.

OMG Iv just had to go for another shop because I’m still so hungry after ordering large chips and large fish. Not good. Quality was really nice but I’m so disappointed at the portion sizes. Just charge me more but don’t disappoint me with your cost cutting.

Without ANY doubt, definitely the best fish and chips I have eaten in a VERY long time. Fish batter - exceptional! Staff - ever so friendly and helpful Venue - clean and welcoming Thank you

Been going to Fylde Fish bar for years and always been fine. Went on the 13/10/23 at 17.30. Served by a lovely young lady. Really pleasant person. The fish, chips and peas were excellent. Went to pay the bill of £24 and was seen by the same lady that took my order. I was commenting on how much we had enjoyed them when the guy that owns it came over poking his nose in. He told me to stop talking to the staff as that was interfering with the service. I said to him are we not allowed to speak to the staff? He said to the waitress stop speaking to them and they will get out of the shop. How rude is that and I’m sure he embarrassed the young lady. He obviously wants our money but has a big chip on his shoulder. I would say that he is not a good person to work for. Will never go there again. What he forget is there are many other places that people can spend money besides Fylde Fish bar. Normally for people to behave in that manor they have problems.

Disgusting attitude from "the fryer" who wouldn't let anyone place an order because she was on the phone for 15 minutes. I had to repeat my order to the girl on the counter about 4/5 times and she still got it wrong. When I got home and realised it was wrong, we called to complain but "the fryer" said "goodbye" and put the phone down. Great customer service!

Went the other evening and decided to sit in rather than take out so the food would be fresh out the frier. Very nice fish, fresh and lovely batter although two of the three were not very big. Chips were lovely as were the sides. Getting to be a dear meal though, over ten pounds without bread and butter or a drink so by the time these are added you're looking at fifteen pounds a head !! Complementary (and massive) onion ring was a plus. Servers looked very miserable ?

Very friendly staff, extremely clean, would recommend that you book in advance due to popurality, the food is excellent.

Chips terrible warm ups for pensioners disgusting for prices you pay worse chips every had going downhill but prices up never again chips do not buy unless fresh

This has got to be the worst chippy chips I have ever eaten. They were so under cooked and really soggy. The score would of been less but the fish was decent.

First visit and many more to come Loved the huge open kitchen....spotlessly clean. Indeed, very clean throughout including the wc. Fantastic choice....I went for the regular. Fish cooked just right with a thin layer of batter. Ditto chips. These guys know how to cook! Great team all working together. However, I must single Sandra out for a mention. Superb welcome; eager to please and a radiant smile. I cannot praise Fylde fish bar enough. Added bonus were the dated photos of Southport. Well done. See you soon. Paul Kelly x

Not so good today. Good fish and peas, but awful mushy chips. (Complimentary onion ring inedible - all batter). Dining room very clean as usual, but cold. Afraid the staff all looked a bit gloomy.

Busy little place! Friendly waiting staff, lovely food! We arrived at a busy time, but the very efficient waitress rearranged a booked table to make a space for us. Service was prompt and friendly, food was very good! Very impressed, and would definitely return. Was certainly very busy with diners, takeaway, and delivery drivers .....so must be very popular.... and I'm not surprised! Great job team ....you were definitely working hard and efficiently... thank you!

It’s our go to place as coeliacs. The batter is the best we’ve tasted. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. We book to eat in for ease. No gf steak pie this time but look forward to it next time

Excellent food best chippy in Southport staff friendly clean can eat in or take out would recommend to anyone

Lovely fresh cooked fish and chips. The batter was that perfect combination of crispy and light not dripping with oil from the fryer.

Ordered through the app. Missing portion of chips. Wouldn’t answer phone so couldn’t be rectified. Meals were OK but fish (full size on menu) very small. Overall poor experience that we won’t be repeating.

Out for a day trip, with 3 others, took them out for dinner, We were early just after opening. Service was good, my fish was not hot in the middle so could have been cooked more, tea a bit pricey I thought overall not bad, but not motivated to return soon.

We have been using this take away since it first opened. Yesterday 21/12/2022 tea time my wife purchased 2 fish & 1 portion chips. The fish was Luke warm to say the least & hardly any batter on the fish. Needless to say we will...

Today me & my family visited. This is our first time & I can't recommend this place enough. We sat in & eat our food. The staff are lovely, great with the kids. The eating area is spacious. Reasonable prices. We will be visiting again....

Used to be great but the last few takeaways have been very disappointing and they often run very late meaning you’re waiting for ages to pick it up. Have finally given up on them!

The fish is consistently better than the chips although batter not as light and crispy as used to be. Chips could be much much better . Used to be crispy and fluffy but tend to be consistently average now bordering on soggy sometimes. Shame as...

After a 25 minute wait to be served we brought home Haddock, Cod and chips with Mushy peas and curry sauce. The Fish portions are small although tasty. The chips however are a bland anaemic affair. Soggy pale starchy and bland. If they are so...

I’ve eaten here many times and you can guarantee it will be good. Friendly staff and well organised establishment. Always freshly cooked fish and chips, easily the best in the local area.

Went for lunch was excellent food service was excellent and very friendly can not wait to return to this lovely restaurant

If you want to try authentic Fish & Chips this is the place to go! Fresh fish with a very light batter, chips and choice of mushy peas (my favorite) or baked beans. They do a small size which is perfect for smaller appetites. Service...

Kate is the best, really made our day special. Well worth the extra drive to the top chippy in Southport

The team at Fylde Fish Bar are always friendly and professional with great service! Fresh fish and fabulous home make steak pies are always top quality. The best in Southport!

What more can I say, fish was delightful, staff were lovely. Like the collection alarm, saves waiting around, you can pop to the shops while they are cooking your fish. Highly recommend, will definitely be back again

Excellent food, service and atmosphere, came home to Marshside for a great fish dinner, food is first class.! We were looking forward to this since last visit 3 years back as good as ever..Thanks!

Really disappointed with Fylde fish bar tonight Ordered 1 portion of takeaway fish n chips and waited over 20 mins. Same thing happened a couple of weeks ago and was hoping it was just a one off but obviously not. Regular customer and I definitely...

Thank you so much! I really struggle to find delicious GF options for my wheat allergy, but this was an amazing find. We will definitely be back. Great value for money too. Helpful staff and extremely clean premises. Thank you for being so thorough! 😀

Visited on the recommendation of a friend who lives locally. Stopped off whilst returning from a day trip to Southport. There was a queue before opening time (which is always a good sign). We ate in but take away is also an option. The restaurant...

Nanny, Mummy, Princess and Littleman were in Southport for a weekend. After driving up on a Friday afternoon, it was decided to try this restaurant, even though we hadn't booked in advance. We needed a gluten free meal for Nanny, and when we drove into...

Visited southport this weekend and googled gluten free chippy for my daughter. We came across this one and it's the best chippy we have come across that do gluten free options we was also able to sit in. The owner couldn't do enough for us...

Lovely food with a good choice of meals. Different options if you don't want fish. Friendly staff and great service. Clean and pleasant surroundings.

As a former Restauranteur, eating out can be a bit of a busman’s holiday. Add to that the fussiest relatives known to man, suggesting somewhere new is an huge responsibility, (as I’d be held FOREVER responsible for any errors). However, we were throughly delighted from...

The fish is always fresh, cooked to perfection with nice crispy batter and service brilliant. Love the laid back atmosphere and that nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Remember to ask for the tartar 😝

everytime i go to fylde fish bar there is an issue burnt chips , excessive prices , no haddock ,no small cod oh we have started closing at 8pm on thursdays even though the sign on the window says 8.30 . today best one yet...

Pre-ordered our food on line but still had to wait over 30 minutes on arrival before it was ready. Food it's self was not very nice. Chips overcooked, fish soggy and onion rings inedible.

Dropped in on chance with big queue outside. Bright welcome and got table in window. Fish and chips, peas and curry (the latter cos this was first place I got forced to try it 😁). Yes we waited but not a problem and food was...

Used to love it here but the quality has really slipped recently. Much better chippys around. The chips here last time where raw in the middle. By the time we got home (to birkdale, we'd been to churchtown for a walk for the day) it...

So I decided to treat the family today thought it would be lovely but it was a huge disappointment! Fish was soggy, the batter wasn’t cooked properly there wasn’t any crisp to the fish what so ever. I ordered a fish cake and that was...

Ordered the Mother’s Day seafood platter and the only review I can give is: Seafood platter = heaven in a box!

Have just finished our tea, which we had been looking forward to all day. Fish/chips/peas...normally 10/10...tonight however an 8/10 at best. Chips...lovely, peas....lovely...fish...lovely...however the batter...bland,not crispy, very greasy. I will return as this is our favourite chippy....but could do better next time.

Not good today. Chips undercooked and very hard unfortunately went in the bin. It’s a shame as some days they are a nice light brown and cooked to perfection but when they are pale and hard it’s puts us off returning. Very hit and miss...

Didn’t have a booking fitted is in and excellent fish and chips. Great service explained where the fish was from

Overrated. The swan is miles better ! Can't understand all the hype for a below average chip shop.food was greasy and Luke warm ,will not be going again

Delicious delivery tonight! Delivered on time and hot, tasty food 😀 would highly recommend! The onion rings are to die for!

Thankyou for opening your click and collect service we have used this several times since it started both at Marshside and Burscough. Excellent quality as usual. Makes life feel a little like normal.

what can I say, but amazing food as always and even during lockdown we have had food delivered and it is the same exceptional quality as you get in the restaurant. Delivered hot and on time with MD Travel. Thankyou so much to all involved, we will be ordering again sorry no photo I was too busy eating!!

Our favourite chippy delivering in lockdown. Hurrah. Easy to use ordering online. Delivered within timescale given. Hot and tasty . Excellent. Well done Fylde road chippy.

We took advantage of Fylde Fish Bar's collaboration with M D Travel to have our fish dinner delivered during the lockdown.Absolutely awesome!The usual high standard food we are used to (albeit understandably a smaller menu), delivered bang on time, following strict social distancing and protection by the driver from M D Travel.Thank you so much. We really enjoyed it, and have missed it for weeks!

Had delivery yesterday. Food amazing as ever very hot. Order come earlier than pre ordered which is good. Hope they carry on with delivery after lock down

Had a delivery yesterday, the food was superb. In fact we have another delivery booked for next week.

Just had a delivery of fish and chips .The order arrived at the exact time I ordered it for delivered very efficiently by M D TravelThe food was hot.The fish was lovely...the batter just how I like it crispy.Hubby had sausage and chips...again excellentGreat to be able to have fish and chips again from my favourite and best chip shop around.Well done to all

I follow Fylde Fish Bar on Facebook (yes, I think they're that good) and they recently launched a new delivery service. I took advantage of this last night and it was great. Better than I expected as the delivery service worked like a charm. I selected my delivery slot earlier in the week via their new app. Payment was easy and the food when delivered was exactly on time and completely contactless. In spite of everything we're all going through, the food was top notch and exactly as it was before Covid-19 reared it's ugly head. I'll definitely be using the app again and would heartily recommend you do too if you're in the delivery area.

Thanks to fylde fish bar for my home delivery delivered on time with friendly service and food to its usual high quality 👍

So excited to receive our delivery this evening! Highlight of the week and what a way to end it! Delivery was amazing and safely done by MD travel, food arrived still hot and all cooked to perfection thank you for a fab service, well done xx

Fantastic food and great delivery service would highly recommend the fish chips and mushy peas with homemade tartar sauce

This has easily been the best proper chippy in southport for years. Add to that the only to open up in lockdown with a newly developed app and deliver amazing food to your door. We were craving fish and chips for weeks!!Delivery needs to continue after lockdown as I am incredibly lazy so the attraction of being able to stay on the couch in my underpants and let the wonderful people at Fylde fish bar deliver to us is amazing. I just need to give them a key so I don’t have to get up.Best chippy ever.

Brilliant to see this great fish and chip shop work with MD to provide us with delivery service. App was easy to use to order. Food came near enough on time piping hot and tasted lush. Would definitely recommend this delivery service for a treat to brighten up lockdown. Thanks

I was lucky enough to be one of the first people to benefit from this amazing chippys decision to do home deliveries!!

As always, even during these difficult times, Fylde Fish bar is dedicating time to make sure they produce top quality food in a safe environment for all.

Best fish and chips I've ever eaten and worth the 177 mile journey. Fish so delicate and the mushy peas just perfect. The steak pies are home made and filled full of succulent steak and gravy. Apple crumble comes in a large bowl swimming in lovely custard with a swirl of toffee. Staff always happy and friendly.

Signed up to TripAdvisor just so I could leave a review. Quite simply the most friendly place and fantastic food anyone could wish for. My partner suffers from Coeliac and the choice on offer was better than anywhere we have visited, she could basically have anything on the menu. We both ordered the 'Cod Set Meal' which was £9.95 and brilliant value, as it came with chips, a choice of gravy or curry sauce and a drink. When we came to order for our 18 month old daughter, we was told that kids eat free on Mondays which was even better. Now to the food itself, just absolutely FANTASTIC! Fresh, tasty and the nicest curry sauce we both have tasted. The portion size was amazing for the price and we both struggled to finish. The staff themselves were all incredibly warm and welcoming, and made us feel comfortable through our entire visit. All this for £20!! We will not think twice about visiting again and will happily travel to do so, and we advise others to give this wonderful establishment a try and the recognition it deserves!

Visited tonight for our Grandmas 81st Birthday. I had messaged the Facebook page the previous evening to enquire re booking and told them it was a birthday visit. We turned up and they had provided a Birthday banner which was very sweet. Food was delicious. My 3 year old is super fussy and ate his whole meal of fish bites. I was told the fish dinners were delicious. I asked for a slimming option and was offered grilled fish with jacket and salad which was terrific. Had a really nice chat with the owner too who took time out to speak to us and wish Grandma a happy birthday. Really great family restaurant!

Absolutely cracking food and service! Loved every bite. We are so happy there’s another one opened closer to us.

Visited Friday lunchtime so the place was quite busy. We seated ourselves and waited for service. Another couple came in and sat at a nearby table. They were served while the staff ignored us even when we signalled directly to them. Eventually our order was taken but not before we were asked to move tables. My partner was ready to leave but I persuaded him to stay and we put up with the further delay while we settled at our new table (right next to the door to the toilets!). The food eventually arrived and couldn't be faulted. The fish was very tasty and the chips were also of the highest quality. Perhaps the staff should consider serving customers in the order they arrive in the restaurant.

Sister's family, Anne & Douglas. You don't enjoy service like this too much. The people were friendly, happy and they enjoyed helping us. The dishes were fresh, tasty and the haddock A1, mushy peas ditto. Everything was so fresh. The decor was open and comfortable.

Love the lightly battered fish , chips are some of the best I’ve ever had. Staff are quick and polite. Will definitely return

We came as a party of 6 3 being children. The childrens meals where nice and all enjoyed also good value for money.

Everything is always superb and consistently great quality been here and the birkdale branch many times

Visited and used the restaurant a few times. We love the good selection of meals on the menu. The service is second to none. It’s obvious the staff have had good training. We will be back soon.

Fabulus Fish & Chips, friendly service and a good price...😋 A little out of town but worth the drive... 🚗

Always get gluten free fish bites here and they have been always excellent, but the last two times I have been very disappointed! The portions are getting smaller and there was barely any fish in the batter so felt like I had paid for fried batter!

Popped in with hubby whilst kids at football. Sat in cafe style restaurant. TV displaying a roaring log fire is a nice touch. I had cod and chips with a hot curry sauce. Husband had homemade steak pie with chips, mushy peas and gravy. The food was well done and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. Manager very welcoming, feels like a family run place. Could not fault it. Really nice fish and chips, really nice atmosphere.

After waiting for 10 mins for cheese and onion pie was served a soggy microwaved pie. Even after asking if the pies were cooked in the oven and being told they were so expected a nice one Took one bite and chucked it in the bin. Waste of money won't be returning

Went for tea tonight as always excellent staff so friendly the girl serving us goes that extra mile always a lovely welcome food is just excellent fish well cooked always fresh cant wait to go again love this place

Best chippy out of town a bit pricey but clean and consistently good food car park good service nice friendly staff eat in or takeaway

Best chippy in southport! Lovely food and quick service always with a smile:) definitely recommend to everyone!

Haddock,Chips and Curry Sauce - All Gluten Free and freshly cooked.This time as a take away, which is presented in first class packaging. First class.

We have been here a number of times with my elderly grandpa to eat in the restaurant. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating. The gluten free fish and chips are the best I’ve had and food is always of high quality. Would definitely recommend.
