Harry Ramsden's in Great Yarmouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent food and good service

Shockingly slow takeaway service for all orders from the dedicated counter at the Great Yarmouth store and the quality of the food was shockingly bad. The chips in particular were soggy and greasy and done looked like they’d been hanging around for a VERY long time. The sole person taking orders seemed to have no sense of organisation or urgency and - when another customer asked where the bread roll was that she’d ordered, he left the counter for a good length of time, went out the back of the shop, and when he came back said it would be another couple of minutes as it was straight from the freezer! Harry Ramsdens don’t deserve (or want) your business based on this experience. I’d also suggest they seriously rethink the idea of putting a card asking you to leave a review in the boxes as this will be what happens!

Staff were friendly and welcoming, food well presented and cooked. Our experience of Afternoon Fish & Chip tea was good value for money and highly recommended. A special thanks to Daniel who served us and the chef Izolly. Thank you.

Food was amazing and service was quick: john, sophie and parys, was lovely and very helpful

The atmosphere was really chilled out and relax, the waitress Pary's was really nice and super helpful. Food was really good and tasty.

Not halal but guy was helpful in suggesting another restaurant that was.

Very over priced, ordered a large fish and chips and there was barely any in the box oh and I had to package everything myself. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

hollie our waitress was brilliant, she helped us out with our grandsons finicky ways and went over and above what was expected, thank you..... the food was great , had the over 60s set lunch, cod chips pot tea bread butter pudding, all for £11

Service and food was amazing. Especially who served us Hollie

Great service nice food didn't no what to expect really Hollie was very sweet and very friendly

We had a good lunch here, they seated our large group quickly and the food was decent quality. Good children’s menu with good portion sizes.

Popped in on a busy Saturday afternoon to get one of the last tables available. The waitress was really friendly and welcoming, and I wasn't mithered with bloody vegan menus. Portion sizes were spot on, and it was delicious. As I left, there was a queue out the door, that's always a good indicator as to how good it is. I will be definitely going back next time I'm in Great Yarmouth.

The afternoon tea was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and I would most definitely visit again as it was a very cheap price on Wowcher and lovely food quality 👌

Came to Harry Ramsdens as we know the name and expect a certain quality. The interior is very dated and in need of a refurb. The service was very slow (we went mid week) and some things on our order was wrong. When the food arrived it was hot and decent so overall 3/5

Dated interior .dirty carpet. All needs a blood good clean . Staff good food good. But disappointed overall. Won't take much to bring this place back to top spec.

I got Harry's special summer deal. Fish & Chips + drink for 9.99 🔥

Hollie was exellent great people skills and bery accomadating thank you. Our friends really enjoyed it to

The food was fantastic! Tara provided wonderful, friendly service :)

As you can see from my previous reviews I'm not one to moan for the sake of moaning however, We attended harry Ramsden in great yarmouth last month and we all wish we hadn't. I have Been wondering what to leave as a review about this place for a while as it still annoys me. Where to start, we had a table for 9 and a highchair booked in, and when we arrived only 8 seats had been provided, we asked spoke to staff who said just grab a chair from over there and you'll have to squeeze in... right ok fair enough it's a Saturday and it's busy however there should of been enough tables and chairs provided in the first place. We waited a while for the staff to come and take our order, I ordered a Stella shandy and a glass of tap water and 2 people on the table ordered glasses of orange juice. The server who had either had a bad day or was just in general miserable then brought out to me a very flat looking beer and when I asked is that a shandy the server said in a very monotone voice that it was, I then tried it and said to him it's not a shandy and he argued to say it was, another person on my table tried it and then told him again that it wasn't so he then went and changed it by I think just pouring half away and adding in the lemonade as even with the extra bubbles it was still flat but i couldnt be bothered to ask anymore as it was all clearly to much for him to do. The 2 that ordered orange juices, we had told this same server we were missing drinks and he said I know im just getting them,well dinner turned up and still no drinks, we had to ask another server to get the drinks we ordered by which point most of the meal was done, as for my tap water well that never appeared at all! Honestly food was meh nothing outstanding chips were very greasy I left nearly all of mine and the curry sauce was watery, the cod however was nice. Overall... I wouldn't eat here again as I know there are several other fish and chip shops on the seafront and I would rather eat out of a bag on a bench than go through that again. And as for that server he either needs to be taught about service with a smile or should be kept outback preparing food because if your paying these prices service should be top priority, i would just like to add the other servers were all friendly!  but if your paying these prices the service should be top priority.

We came for afternoon tea for my daughter 40th birthday there was 12 of us it was amazing food brilliant service by hollies and the team would defo recommend and will defo be back thanks again

Cold food, terrible service. Will never go there again.

Lovely cooked fish and chips. Great friends service

Food was great and Sophie was lovely, she was very helpful and understanding about our noisy kids! Would definitely come again 😊

Amazing food, cod was delicious and we all Left stuffed!! Thanks Tara & Tia you were fabulous!! Lee, William and James

Our waitress Tara was very welcoming and friendly. The food was piping hot and delicious.

Had a lovely meal this evening the service was great especially from Hollie

Very very disappointing !! Heard very good things about it and when it came I was not impressed. First of all service very bad forgot things from the order and blamed it on other things. I ordered fish and chips, well the fish tasted absolutely horrible and did not taste fresh at all, the batter was worst I’ve ever had and was definitely an over cooked bit of fish. Curry sauce was cold. The food was served on the smallest plates ever couldn’t even cut anything without having to move stuff onto a napkin. Did not specify curry sauce was lumpy which I think is a big thing. Ordered a hot chocolate which just tasted like manky day old water with some cheap hot chocolate powder. Ordered sausages and it was NOT hot all the way through. It is simply to cook these sorts of food if u can’t do it correct don’t do it at all. Cutlery was dirty and not matching. Overall do not recommend to anyone coming to Great Yarmouth fish shop next to arcade looked 10x better.

Wowcher Harry Ramsden Deal - Absolute disgrace the deal is not what it seems, I ordered 2 vouchers for 4 people Maximum stated on offer, but you cannot book 4 people via wowcher link, it shows as fully booked till the end of time, asked for a refund which I received minus the £4 non refundable admin fee..They have a limitation on people which they don't state. Also you can't check availability until you buy one. Customer Service for Harry Ramsden is non existent sent Complaint and after 5 days no reply,, they Couldn't Give a monkeys once they have your money.. Wowcher didn't Wow me at all .Rubbish from Both Parties.. Avoid.

Fabulous food and excellent service by Tara &Tia.x.

4 meals. All cooked beautifully.

Grabbed a quick lunch of large Haddock and chips. The fish and chips were quite perfectly cooked. I took a takeaway and then sat out in the open outside of the restaurant as it was sunny, with a good view of the ferry's wheel and rocket ejector play rides opposite of the road 🙂. In all, I liked the whole experience and would recommend it.

Just a lot for average food, but can't moan about the service

Was given a voucher for afternoon tea. My wife and I went and it was certainly an afternoon tea with a difference. The service was excellent and the food selection very good, would highly recommend it.

Great fish and chips, lovely helpful staff

Had fish and chips twice last week at Harry Rsmsdrns in Great Yarmouth. Although closing at 8 they were turning people away at 7 already. People were very disappointed.The wines we wanted were out of stock. When the chef went outside to bring in the banners her clothing was disgraceful. However the food was ok.

We purchased the afternoon tea as something different. Have to say did not dissappoint....food was well presented and delicious. Our server Hollie was friendly and helpful, nothing was too much....100% return

Sorry but very average. We had side dishes of chips and sausage in batter which by the way was a lot cheaper than a main meal, don't know why. Sausage in batter was OK, well cooked, crispy batter but nothing special, chips were very disappointing, not crispy, tasted like they had been kept warm certainly not fleshly cooked. This is Harry Ramsden the world famous chip shop. You'd think they could cook a good chip but on this occasion they didn't.

Thought I'd treat my daughter after a day out based on the reputation of the brand. I had the sailors supper which turned out to be a skinny strip of fish coated in soggy undercooked batter that was way too thick that tasted burnt. The chips were greasy and Luke warm and looked wilted as if they'd been reheated which was surprising as they were apparently really busy and the mushy peas were cold. My daughter's battered sausage was so greasy that she said it tasted of cooking oil and had a mouthful of oil with every bite. The service was really slow - we'd finished are drinks before the food appeared. To be honest it tasted like either the oil needed changing or the whole thing was not cooked properly. The waitress asked if we'd enjoyed it so I politely told her no it tasted burnt and like the oil needed changing and she was very defensive and quickly handed us the bill! Both my daughter and I left most of our meal as it tasted greasy and burnt. Will not be returning here again!

Fish, Chips and mushy was perfect. Hollie was friendly and very helpful with great service. Definitely worth the visit!

The food was fantastic just right amount of everything and service was good particularly Hollie who was very attentive and friendly and made us feel very welcome will definitely recommend.

Very lovely food and service. Even if they did forget our tartar sauce haha! No problems at all Served by Tara & Hollie

Perfect food, Perfect service. Thank you

Hollie and Sophie were very welcoming and helpful, food was lovely

I bought the fish and chip afternoon tea for my hubby as a Christmas present and we finally got round to booking it. We visited for a lunch time booking and on arrival were shown to a lovely table with a good view of the marine parade and the sea by a really lovely waitress. She took asked what drink we were having with our afternoon tea and we both chose the coffee which was really good, nice flavour and not weak. The afternoon tea itself was really good, the mini fish fillet burgers were lovely, the mini fish cakes were divine and had proper chunks of fish inside, the sausage, onion rings, fried pickles and chips were delicious , hubby said the mushy peas were great and for me the curry sauce was the best I've had in years. The wait staff were all really friendly and nothing was too much trouble, they even put ice and lemon slices in my glass of tap water which was a nice touch. The dessert section of the tea was fabulous, the banana fritters were the best I've ever had with crispy batter and still firm banana instead of mush and the bread and butter pudding was delicious and fruity. My only niggle and it really is just a niggle is that the plate with the biscoff sauce and custard pots on had a lovely sprinkle of chocolate sauce on it and while it looked pretty the pots left chocolate sauce on the table which hubby panicked about and made sure to clean up. The toilets were nice and clean and while there are steps down to them they weren't too steep and there is a good hand rail. We were really impressed with the service and the food and will definitely visit again

Hollie was really friendly and helpful.

We had a fish & chips tea (Red letter day gift card). Sophie was very welcoming and friendly. The food was great and we will recommend HR to our friends.

Something different to the usual afternoon tea. Food was amazing. Service was polite and friendly with a smile. Well done Hollie - a super waitress. Would highly recommend.

As a regular ordering the same fish & chips, this time the fish and the chips were warmed up not fresh as usual. terrable!

Tara was a fantastic help service was excellent and very polite

Great fish and chips in a good location, batter on the fish especially was great. Team Member Tara was very helpful and attentive

Tara is amazing. We went on Monday for my partners birthday, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Tara gave just the right amount of attention while still letting us be on our own. Tara explained the app as well and was more than accommodating. Keep up the good work, Tara! Hollies and Sophie were absolutely amazing! They were welcoming and accommodating to my fiancé's birthday treat as he doesn't eat chocolate cake. They came out with 3 scoops of ice cream with candles, you made his day! Thank you. Honestly, this is the BEST Harry Ramsdens I've been in and I keep coming back every year just for this restaurant

Its was a sunny Monday and we chose this place for no particular reason. As overseas tourists are not familiar with this chain and on reading the reviews can see that they are very mixed. Drink prices were a little on the high side but we enjoyed our mixed seafood platter (usually a starter I think) which we shared and was plenty for two for lunch. The place was surprisingly full for a Monday however service was efficient and friendly. Not haute cuisine but certainly fine for a Monday! No complaints.

Couldn’t understand why it wasn’t packed. Hollie was lovely after a stressful parking experience. Very friendly, all food was delicious and amazing value. Super clean too! The Afternoon Tea was never ending :) Won’t want to eat again today now!!

This was very disappointing. The potatoes were very poor quality so couldn’t eat a lot of the chips. Overpriced for what it was. When I complained about the poor quality chips the staff just said they weren’t getting good quality potatoes from the supplier but still charged me full price for the meals!

Good price on our meals. We were served by Tara who was very helpful and cheerful. 5 stars for her.

Tastless fish n chips, very bland, wasn't worth of my £120, Sorry Harry won't step foot in this place again.

We had the afternoon tea fish and chips. We couldn't fault it at all. Daniel the chef cooked the chips perfectly and plated up the food which looked delicious. We had both a main and pudding with our voucher. Tara and John the table servers were approachable and nothing was too much trouble, they were both cheerful and talkative. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic. Would definitely come again. John and Hollie were so friendly and helpful. Food amazing.

Very friendly service. Great food.

The restaurant was in desperate need of updating and brightening up. The air con was off and the rest way too warm The food was such a disappointment. Of the 5 of us , only one managed to eat more than half their chips as they were if such poor quality. They were full of ‘eyes’ and black bruising. The peas are so not like HR were known for, they are now over processed. We recently tried HR at Blackpool and thought the same about the food and the restaurant then too, we thought we would give HR another chance. Won’t be returning sadly

Tara was amazing and friendly helping with the better deals and great service😋

Godd fish and chips. The pastry top of the pie was hard and dry. Staff pleasant.

Just had a brilliant lunch with my wife and boys, looked after by Sophie who made sure we had everything we needed. Both my boys and myself had cod and chips which was perfect, cooked well and no bones !! Fully recommend Harry Ramsdons in Great Yarmouth, Thank you Sophie !

Excellent location, food amazing, service impeccable. Special thanks to Sophie.

Very good food ,value for money , clean , and Staff very efficient and friendly. Our waitress was Hollie

I purchased an 'Afternoon Tea' via Wowcher for £19:99 which was for 2 persons. Hollies, served us who was very polite, welcoming and kept checking on us if everything was okay. Restaurant not very big only snag was that the toilets weren't very clean & I'm afraid not very disabled friendly. Overall great food, great service A☆☆☆☆.

Good service pleasant surroundings good staff

We ate in and we were the only customers so lacked any real atmosphere but the staff were friendly and kind. The food was average but good if in a hurry as limited choice out of season.

Good fish and chips. Service with a smile. What you would expect from a Harry Ramsdens.

Excellent service from Hollie & Tara today who served our lovely afternoon tea for my besties birthday. Thank you will definately recommend.

Food was absolutely delicious and Hollie’s service was fantastic!

What an amazing experience having the afternoon tea at Harry Ramsdens. Hollie was so attentive and made our celebration very special. Thank you Hollie x

Expensive absolutely awful service! Useless go somewhere else.... Literally anywhere else.... Half an hour wait for chips and still waiting... Pathetic

Lovely and relaxed, food was so filling and tasted good, great view x x

Very nice place to eat - I had cod & chips which was spot on! Tracey is a brilliant host who brings a bit of humour to the dining experience

Chips were awful, looked brown like they had been sat around and cooked a few times but still tasted undercooked, don't know how anyone manages that...... Bought a large cod and a medium cod couldn't really tell which one was large both about the same size which wasnt large by any means, the curry sauce was more water than anything else, if you had tipped it in the box most of it would have leaked straight out, I've had worse meals but never spent £32 on fish and chips and felt more disappointed.

High end fish and chips. Halloumi bites over fried, less is more regarding the batter. Good quality food, nice restaurant and service.

The pensioners deal was a very good bargain 👌

Great service and came out quick would highly recommend.

Holly at your Great Yarmouth branch was amazing on both visits after the Great Yarmouth road race waited open past closing time , your lucky to have her on your team

Friendly staff (Hollie & Kyle) Well cooked food. Prompt service Fully recommended.

Me and my family visited this restaurant this lunch time and what an amazing experience we had , we had a lovely lady called hollie look after us ,she was the most polite and welcoming young lady and Really made our experience great we would love to revisit this place , service is top quality

From walking in to walking out, we were made to feel very welcome, staff were very friendly and helpful, very well presented, the restaurant overlooking the sea, in a great place. I would recommend Harry Ramsden to anyone

On a visit from the USA. I had the Fish And Chips with mushy peas. Nice view of the water. It was a great recharge after a lot of walking and a Norfolk gully washer. Thanks Tara.

Shout out the Tara the best waitress in the land! Get this woman a processco!

Tara was really friendly & served us with a smile.

Hollie was an amazing server and so attentive.

We were given a gift for our 54th Wedding Anniversary of a Harry Ramsdens Afternoon Tea. Hollie, our server was very polite, kind and helpful and looked after us very well. We come here a lot for the over 60’s meal and always get good food and excellent service. We really enjoyed the Afternoon Tea and thought it very good value. Hollie, thank you again for making our afternoon more special.
