Harry Ramsden's in Blackpool

The food is good, the place is nice and the staff was really lovely. I do think it's too pricy and the portion size it to small, But overall its a nice place to go for fish and chips in Blackpool

Very nice atmosphere, good service (especially the waitress with the red hair). Food only took 20 minutes to arrive, lots of choice, very good food. Zack Warren Firth Age 13

The food was great and our server Kasia was so friendly and couldn't do enough for us and our children. She made our experience wonderful!

Lucy was amazing! Lovely to chat to and was really patient with my over 60s club mother! Thanks Lucy x

Jadwiga was lovely! A credit to your restaurant.

food was lovely and absolutely amazing service by Jadwiga, highly recommend and our go to place when we visit Blackpool!

We did the afternoon tea with BuyAGift...good value & enjoyed it.

I didn't realize this was a hotel, but it's on a street corner and easy to enter. The counter was unmanned, but you could order from the large screen on the wall, which I thought was perfect for me since I'm not confident with the language, but then I realized I had to enter my name and phone number before I could complete the order. As I hesitated, a young man came out and brought the food to me efficiently. This guy also cooks. The food was fresh and piping hot, and I was happy with the kind consideration. Thank you, Lewis. The large haddock set was too big, but the large, firm white fish would probably be enough for about three people in Japan. The fish and chips were crispy and delicious. However, the vinegar was too diluted. That was the only disappointment.

Lovely fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens restaurant in Blackpool it had curry sauce and slice of lemon, tar tar sauce nice cup of tea too friendly service, nice atmosphere and would recommend it

Came here for dinner before heading back home to London. The cod I had was great and it was served to me with chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce which was all delicious. I fancied a dessert afterwards and chose to go with the baked American cheesecake. I gave my order to the waitress and a little while later she came back to me saying that they didn't have any cheesecake and that my choice would be limited to just three desserts. I didn't mind this too much and chose to go with the apple pie. A little while later, the waitress once again came back to me with more bad news saying that they now only had either sticky toffee pudding or ice cream and nothing else. I was annoyed at this because just a minute or two ago she gave me the choice between three desserts and now she only gave me one to choose from (plus the ice cream). I would've been less angry if she told me from the start that the dessert options were limited, but she didn't and as a result this left me feeling quite disappointed with my trip to Harry Ramsden's. I ended up skipping out on dessert and choosing to pay and leave immediately. While I had a good experience at Harry Ramsden's in Brighton, this one was quite the opposite I'm afraid and it's unlikely that I'll be visiting this branch again thanks to it's poor service even with how good the main course was.

Jadwiga was incredible as our server. I watched her manage the whole dining experience for her customers and she was phenomenal. A credit to your team. Her memory when taking orders was next level.

Lily was polite bubbly and efficient with good product knowledge

Steven did all he could for us he is brilliant will come back becouse of him

Tables very sticky but otherwise good service and food as always

Fantastic food and brilliant and fast service

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Steven during my visit to Harry Ramsdens. He was nothing short of exceptional, from the moment we were seated. Thank you x

Steven was a great host! Thank you for the brilliant food :)

This place ruined my day. Wasn't busy but took over an hour for food to arrive. Food was very poor quality at a high price

Food was fabulous 👌, well presented and cooked correctly, waitress Debbie was excellent, very helpful and polite .Highly recommended this branch at Blackpool Tower

excellent afternoon tea great service provided by Kasia always smiling and clearly explained each meal

Very good good. The servers are very pleasant specially Kasia.

A quiet day but great service from our server Kasia, and of course great fish and chips

Kasia was very friendly, warm and welcoming Food was lovely and big portions Would recommend

Excellent afternoon tea at Harry Ramsdens Blackpool. Great selection of items and fabulous service by Jadwiga, she was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this!! 👌🏻

Jadwiga was amazing and really looked after our group of 23, as did her lovely colleague, whose name I didn't get. Super service and lovely food all by the seaside!

Jules was a fantastic sever very attentive!!

Fantastic afternoon tea. Lots to eat. Top class food and great variety

Gotta love Harry's. I miss the tower lounge though.

Jadwiga and her colleague provided excellent service

Food was excellent came out hot which was nice. Service was great. Atmosphere was good too, not too many people but we went in just before it got a bit busier.

Our server Debbie was absolutely fantastic, nothing was to much trouble, Harry Ramsdens you need more servers like Debbie, very helpful and smiley. Will visit again just to see her. I hope she gets feedback and rewarded.3 .

Stand out service today from kasia

That was the best fish&chips I've had the batter on the fish was done perfect chips were lovely definitely come bach here again if im in blackpool

We came to Blackpool on a day trip, and had never been to Harry Ramsden's before, the food was amazing and the service was on point. Thank you to our waitress Kasia who was wonderfully attentive, pleasant and checked in on us that everything was OK. Great experience and would highly recommend.

Second visit at this restaurant and we love it!! We were assisted by Steven today, great welcome and great service. Thank you very much . Live Blackpool

Fabulous food and atmosphere. It’s not a trip to the seaside without having some fish and chips. Excellent service also from Debbie. Nothing was too much trouble for her.

Great food and the service from Debbie was great. Will come again

The fish was off, tasted strange thought it was the tartare sauce. Unfortunately I was ill from it. The manager refused to come apologise and the staff knocked the fish off the bill. Worth being sick and losing a day's wage though thankyou for removing the fish off the receipt. This place needs a health inspection pronto.

Excellent friendly service from Kasia. Food was wonderful

Our server Steven was lovely and so was the fish and chips

Very family friendly place! Staffs are so friendly and helpful especially when we are a big group with toddlers.

Jadwiga was a lovely waitress and looked after us well.

Lovely food, prompt and polite service from Steven! Best fish and chips in Blackpool.

Absolutely fantastic afternoon tea. Service by Kasia was amazing and the food was awesome! Will definitely be booking again!

Great service. Jadwiga was a great host!

Lovely service from Steven. Food was delicious too 😋

friendly and very accomodating staff Jadwiga always smile, food is great

Amazing people thank j so very much indeed for getting me and my kids in when I was late

I didn’t get to eat! I drove from southport to see if it was as good as I remembered but experienced indifferent service, unwelcoming facilities, locked out while they sorted the opening sequence out and The take away opening half hour after sit down diners! Will not be bothering again.

I visited with my family on Thursday 17th April. The experience was so bad and exposed some real issues in the working environment especially from the duty management. I reached out direct to Harry Ramsdens as per their standard response to poor reviews. I have heard nothing back from them. So... Staff were not proactive. I waved a waiter to come over...he did so and didn't have anything to take our order on. He returns with a pad, he had no energy or passion. Clearly wanted to be anywhere but there. Drinks order arrived with the wrong beers, this waiter (not who took the order) said well the ticket said this...no apology, no let me check. I wasn't going to get into an argument so let that issue slide. By the time we had waited 30-35 minutes I asked a 3rd waiter who was stood by the pass how long the order would be. He asked the kitchen...which had only 1 person working in it! This waiter and the chef were the only people working hard.(There were at least 20 customers in, 5 waiters and a manager.) They said 5 mins, I explained it would need to be otherwise we'd need to leave. When we arrived at 6.15pm after the tower circus no one mentioned there was going to be a long wait or delays. The team were not properly in control of the service. After just over 5 minutes he comes over and says they've got no beans for the kids meals. They had plenty of time to realise or even go to the shop to sort it. I asked to see the manager which he did. The manager decides not to speak to me and goes to the other end of the table. Her attitude was awful. I said we were leaving, we'd waiter so long and now they can't even make what was ordered. She said. "Well I was going to give a discount anyway". So because she could give a discount they didn't care about giving good service. She was not apologetic nor did she take responsibility. Observing the room throughout our wait I noticed tables left with dirty glasses for a long time, problems with orders on each table. Staff effectively hiding. At one point the manager walks through the restaurant with a contractor carrying a sign, she dismisses a table that asks her for something...she returned later saying "What do you want?" She still didn't notice the sanitiser bottle and cloth left on the banquette! No care, no attention to detail. We left hungry, disappointed and upset...this should have been a lovely end to a family outing something 3 generations could have enjoyed. We were there just under an hour in total. We had given ourselves enough time before trains etc. Just as we were leaving the food was starting to come out the kitchen if we had stayed the meal would have been rushed and the experience was already ruined by the managers poor attitude. The positive reviews over the past few days make me think she either wasn't working or these aren't genuine reviews given there are so many poor reviews recently.

I had high expectations of this restaurant, after my last visit many years ago. The only positive comment i can make is our waitress was attentive. Basic fish, chips and peas took more than 45 minutes be brought to our table by this time we had paid for our drinks as we were about to leave, staff members blamed the delay on the new cook? We had the meal as a means of appology but we hardly ate it because was dried up.. Shame really but how hard can it be to cook fish and chips. The restaurant was certainly not 1/2 full.

Sadly, this will be my last visit to Harry Ramsdens. I lived in Blackpool for years and this was my go to for quality fish and chips. But not any more. Firstly, cost. Its expensive, which is fine if you get good service and excellent food. I had a regular haddock and thought I got the kids size, 2 bites and it was gone! I asked if they brought the wrong size but no it was the regular for 15.99. Tasted ok, nothing special. Now my Father went for the over 60s special for 11.99 where you get fish, chips, mushy peas and a drink and pudding. OMG! The fish was the size of a fish finger. My Dad was gutted and had to eat something else a few hours later. Overall, ok tasting food, poor service, got the order wrong, waited ages in an almost empty restaurant. Staff standing around stretching but not doing much except the older blonde lady who was running around all over and was friendly. The review is based on food, size and lack of value for money and the other staff. We wont be back, having been there for many years. Sorry but no! I ran a restaurant for years and an 8oz regular fish is always a certain size and to give a pensioner a fingers worth of fish is terrible. I just wish I had taken pictures to prove this review.

Harry Ramsdens is always our go to whenever we visit Blackpool. Always great food with friendly staff. Steven on this occasion was very friendly & prompt. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely dinner. Debbie was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble

We used to visit the original restaurant many years ago when it was a little way along the Prom. Back then it really was superb and a treat but now it’s no different than fish & chips in your local pub chain. The chips were cold and the fish mainly hard batter. The staff however were friendly.

Went for the afternoon tea which we received as a Xmas gift. Really disappointed. We got the smallest fish on the smallest bun that wouldn’t fill a child. The rest was worse, battered gherkins!!! One battered sausage to share, onion rings, some sort of fritter? ? Mushy pea? Not sure! and a few chips! Staff were lovely as is the restaurant, just think for £30 there could have been more fish! Who even eats battered gherkins 🤢

Food very nice . Very good service and Debbie is professional and very friendly and fast at her service Other good visit lovely friend and very good service from jules

Debbie was our server, she was very helpful and attentive. Top class food ar per usual.

Great food…. Great service and Jadwiga really made the service. Anything we wanted she was there to help. Thanks jadwiga

Really fast and friendly service

Brilliant service very helpful great experience would come again

We had the afternoon tea, food was lovely and our waitress Debbie was brilliant. Thanks

Lovely atmosphere, vibes were perfect. Staff were attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Debbie was a legend and made sure we were happy throughout our time here. Will be back again for sure!!

Visited here with my partner on a day trip to Blackpool - we had tickets for a show at Winter Gardens and thought the 'classic' fish and chips by the seaside would make for a good evening. Table we were seated at was sticky, like it hadn't been cleaned in about 5 years. Restaurant had other patrons but not absolutely rammed busy by any means and there appeared to be plenty of staff on (although they looked very stressed so I can't imagine how they would cope if it was actually busy). We waited 35 minutes for food at which point I asked the waitress to chase it up, as I did so another couple said they had been waiting for 50 minutes and had decided to leave so we did the same, just paid for our drinks. I asked the waitress if there was a reason for the delay as we had only ordered fish and chips and...it's Harry Ramsden's...that's their main dish. She had the audacity to say 'everybody arrived at once' as I looked around at a half empty restaurant. Also everyone that arrived after us was told the restaurant was closed even though 1) it clearly wasn't and 2) this was about 6:30pm and the closing time online and at the front door say close is 8pm. Did not appreciate being lied to my face. So...we left hungry, would not return and would not recommend, terrible really considering the history of Harry Ramsden's.

It was the worse fish and chips I have ever had. Definitely all pre cooked and kept warm....I needed to saw through the batter to reveal dry tasteless fish....utterly awful. They did apologise and knocked a little from the bill. We'll judge this one on our feet...and walk on by.....

Was here for afternoon tea, and it took over 2 hrs wouldn't come back. The food is average at best.

Just left disappointed still been generous with my rating the atmosphere is good and the staff are good but my table was sticky so much so that my cup was sticking to the table felt really dirty Portion size was not great for a regular fish and Wendy’s the point in the paper in your plate almost impossible to cut your food without ripping and then having to detach it from your food Tbe food was good but probably would not return

Jadwiga was really helpful will be go back soon

Impromptu trip away for a few nights with the family, we decided to treat ourselves to some 'posh' fish & chips rather than those you see on the sea front. Although the food was very tasty, the batter was crispy and was not greasy at all. The only downfall to the meal was that the chips were just say warm, borderline cold.

Waited quite a while for order to be taken then waited another 15 mins just for drinks. Food arrived. Both had reg haddock, chips and peas. Fish was lovely. Chips were awful, dry, cardboard like. Shame as it was £15.99 each. Servers were very polite and friendly.

Very good and speedy service with smiling polite staff.

Everything was okay but the table was sticky .

Thank you Steven for such good service, thanks too all food was excellent A±

Service on the slow side, once our order was taken food seemed to out in ok time- drinks took alot longer (after food) and I had to ask for them. The table was very sticky.

Our waiter Stevens service was excellent but when we arrived we were shown by a female member of staff to a draughty table right by the door and she didn’t return to take our order, so we moved ourselves to another table where Steven served us. Good meal but poor initial experience.

Very great service and good food. Thanks a lot for the great service Jadwiga and Maciej

Excellent service! Debbie out server was excellent!

Debbie was amazing .. customer service was outstanding.. so attentive to our needs . Checked in at all times and just couldn’t do enough

Our server Debbie was fantastic. Friendly, professional and helpful. Good veggie choices. Food was hot and everything was clean.

We chose here for lunch on a Saturday expecting the quintessential fish & chip experience. When it finally arrived after a 25min wait the food was excellent and sort of made up for the slow service. It wasn't particularly busy and there were plenty of staff on. It was just not very well organised. Maybe that was because we were out of sight of the main restaurant in the conservatory (nice sea view though). One gripe was the teapots that just don't pour without spilling and served with a coffee cup. They need branded crockery! Great Club 60+ menu for seniors -£12 for a 2 course meal with drink.

Great afternoon tea, food delicious 😋. Good staff , very attentive.

Awful experience. Waitress was new on shift and made mistake after mistake meaning that one person in our party never recieved their meal! This is shocking! The new member of staff should have been shadowed, ensuring no/limited mistakes were made. I spoke to the staff explaining we needed to go as we had a booking to attend and to make sure the bill reflected our experience. We were shocked to have been charged what we did……we had an awful experience and they still charged us! We will never ever return. Awful awful experience. I’ve never been to a restaurant for a family meal and someone in the party not be served food! Clearly there was no manager on shift, or an incompetent manager at that - a good manager would ensure customers were never treated in this way! Additionally the restaurant stinks of bad drains.

Slow to come over, slow to ask for drinks and food. The server didn’t know what was on menu either. Very slow to serve food. Plenty of staff but you had to chase everytime you wanted something including to bring the food over. Had to speak to one of the managers about the service. Far for ideal especially with hungry children. It wasn’t like this on previous visit.

Wife and friend called in yesterday, over an hour wait, cold chips and so called large fish needed a search party, left the food, awful service and food,over hyped and definitely over priced, one to avoid

Staff very helpful, very good food!

Waitress very friendly but service from the kitchen super super slow. Had to ask someone to take our order. Took over half an hour to get food. Table next to us sat down after us and got theirs first. Was lovely when it finally arrived. No we vinegar left in bottle either. Small portion was really big.

Perfect fish and chips. Coupled with excellent service and with a smile by Lily! Thank you for making our meal very pleasant 😍

Lovely experience with reasonable prices. Waiter let it down a bit by forgetting part of the order but on the whole I would go again.

Nicole and Steven and ALL of the staff at the Blackpool Harry Ramsdens, you accommodated 30 B&Q staff and were wonderful! Quick service, helpful with our requests and made us feel really special, thank you so much!

Great service, Nicole is a great girl :) she recommended me to try the tar tar sauce & am so glad she did, AMAZING!

Great food and wonderful service from our waitress Debbie

Enjoyed the food had fish bites and chips, well cooked and hot, and we were well looked after by Debbie could not ask for better service first class

Kasia our waitress was cheerful, efficient& lovely.

It was quiet when we went in so nice and peaceful my sister is a vegetarian and the menu didn’t have the standard v next to much also she had concerns about meaty stuff being cooked next to veggie stuff the server Steven was excellent the chef didn’t get his name came over was informative and reassured my sister that her veggie pie mash and veg would not be cross contaminated it was so good of them excellent would recommend the fish was delicious

Steven was our server and he was lovely! Thank you x

Lovely dinner and service, served by Steven 😊

Our server Debbie was lovely and the food was brilliant.

Visited tonight and couldn't fault anything. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Would leave more stars if I could. Steven and Debbie were such fabulous hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them. Super friendly and super lovely!
