What can I say that you probably don't already know... Gibbs is first class! Quality food every single time and service to match. I just tried their spicy chicken burger and I'll tell you what, if I ever get the urge for a certain Colonel's chicken again, I'll head to Gibbs, save money and treat my taste buds because that was MILES better than a Zinger burger!

I always rate Gibbs 5* and order here at least once a month. My partner and I always share a large chips and this is always a good portion between us two. We ordered our usual tonight and I actually laughed when I saw the chips… we had no more than a small handful each. I finished my chips before I’d eaten half of my fish! I hope this isn’t some sort of new portion control, because if it is I shall be going elsewhere from now!

If fish and chips is the so-called national dish, it is a shame that the quality on offer in many places is not better than this. It is the 'classic' British warm soggy chips and thickly battered fish. Heavy and greasy. There was a fish and chip restaurant nearby on London Road that was good but the management changed and the quality disappeared at the same time. The Thatched Cottage on Kirkley Cliff does a good fish and chips, by which we mean fresh chips and crispy batter. Perhaps a review of all fish and chip shops in Lowestoft is due. Given the history of the town one might have expected better but then, maybe not.

My family and I come to this Chippy regularly and it's well worth the 17 mile drive from our house to get here! We have several chippys much closer to home but none of them can stand up to this one. The fish is always beautiful, fresh, and very large. The chip portions are also very large - so much so that my partner and I usually share a portion between us otherwise we would never be able to finish it! They're also extremely good value for money, especially taking into account portion sizes, and the staff are very friendly and efficient. I've been coming here for years and I have no plans to change my chippy! A real 'hidden in plain sight' treasure!

We moved up here in January 2019 and after trying other fish and chip shops we were recommended Gibbs and have been going ever since. We were really sad when due to the lockdown they had to temporarily close. But on the 19th of May Colin re-opened again and up to the time of me writing we have been there many times since, sometimes twice in a week. If you like Skate and Cod then this is the place to go as it is really good value as is all of the fish. We always ask for thin batter and crispy chips and Colin does them perfectly. All of the staff are friendly and always cleaning the front counter area. I hope we can go there for many more years!

As a take away traditional fish and chip shop Gibbs is a bit of an institution. It has been passed on through generations. There is no doubt that its continued success is due to the quality of its food. In a world where fried chicken and kebabs and pissa seem to be taking over Gibbs holds it head up high and continues to provide first class food.

The best fish and chips I have had from anywhere in years. Freshly made to order so a little waiting required but well worth the wait. Good value, large portions. Both fish and chips were very, very tasty. Crispy, flavoursome batter. Firm brown chips and fully cooked on the inside. Not the greasy, limp rubbish other places try to get away with calling chips. Highly recommended. I live 100 miles away and was just passing by. Disappointed that now I’ve been spoiled by quality, it’s going to be a very long time before I get anything as good as this again.

The sausage and burger were nice. Chips were cold and dried up. The delivery man knocked on the wrong door to deliver our food. I saw him and opened my door to shout that we were here. He said the wrong number. No apologies just gave me my food and walked away. I’m pleased I did look out for him as he didn’t ask me for the delivery code which means if the other people did answer the door he would have just given them the food without asking for a code. I thought that’s what the code was for????
