Ordered The Works Fish Wrap costs over £6 only to find it only had 2 small fish pieces & no rice very disappointing & definitely not worth the money. Would not order again

I came in for the first time today and asked the gentleman behind the till if the chicken burger was indeed a chicken fillet/breast of which he replied yes . To my amazement when I got home, the burger was a Frozen cheap formed chicken burger that was also poorly cooked. Will not be returning.

chips are lovely, but you better hope you don’t get served after someone waiting for fish because they go in order, so I wanted one bag of chips and had to wait for the fish to cook and the order to be done for the person in front of me…doesn’t make sense when they could just do my chips and not how any other chip shop do it very frustrating also cash only is annoying!

I’ve been here 3 times and every time it’s been cooked fresh and tasted banging! Portion sizes are a little smaller than I’m used to and prices are reasonable.

Local fish & chip shop but despite phoning for your orders you will still endure a lengthy wait when you go to collect. This happens time and time again. Aside from the poor waiting times and slow service the food is always tasty.

Since Asians started working there, the pub has been forgotten, the fish has no skin so it is of unknown origin, the fries are dry and mixed with old ones. It wasn't that good before the Asians took it over, I won't go back there again

This is always on the regular list. Their chips are not fried with any of the fish so always a plus for Vegi or Vegans. The Chilli is the best. The chips are always nice and fresh and the fat type.. Classic.

Been twice since moving to the area. First time was great, phoned order through and given appointment as requested and got my dinner shortly after arriving to collect. Food tastes lovely and is hot. Second time was a bit mad. Got appointment slot, etc, same as before but had to wait a good 30mins after my appointment time. The staff worked hard but were taking orders over the counter too, which made all appointments behind schedule and pointless. People who had booked were not happy. Due to Covid, no chairs for those who cannot stand for long or customer toilets. So as it stand 50/50 but the food is really good, so i will try again to get a deciding vote.

Before there were new owners, the food was lovely. Cooked properly, staff were amazing. But today we ordered and my brother's burger was over cooked, his bun was covered in blood from the patty. There were hairs in the bag of chips and my nephews saveloy didn't look cooked at all.

Ordered from here tonight and had an awful experience. Despite being ready ridiculously quickly - probably should have been the first clue - the food was terrible. The chips were hard and smothered in salt. The hot dog didn't taste like any sausage I've ever had before, the ribs were all fat with no flavour, the burger was tough and had no taste. Three different meals for three different people with different taste preferences and it all went in the bin after a few mouthfuls. Half expecting food poisoning tonight. Oh and they only take cash which is ridiculous during the time of COVID.

Just do not like giving a one but this is what I have to do. Travelling with my wife towards Bedford on the A6 we decided on a take-away. Checked the internet and we were just a few minutes from the Lakeside Fish and Chips and what's more, it had good reviews on Tripadvisor. Fond the place quickly using sat nav. There were quite a few customers so I joined the queue. I will explain here I have 3 criteria I look for, availability, (we both have diet issue), quality of food and service, the most important for me is service. I waited a couple of minutes and the guy in front said, "you can go in, I have ordered". So in I went, straight up to the counter and there I waited. No one spoke to me. People kept walking over and picking up there orders. So I asked one, "Am I doing something wrong"? "Yes", he said, " You have to place your order over there". I looked where he was pointing and there was a milling lot of people, I could not see a counter. They glared at me, my face didn't fit, I had not ordered first. Still no one, not ever the staff said anything. So I left. I cannot comment on the food, I never got any. The vegetarian choice was very limited but not an issue. So I purely give my score on service of which there was none, only hostility from the others who knew what to do. So why did I score 1? Because you can't score zero.

What do I say. I have never been in a fish and chip shop where the service is so slow. I understand they cook fish to order, but the oils is never drained off properly and makes the fish very greasy. When pies are already heated and chips are ready please serve them when they are ordered and not make people wait till after others fish has been cooked. We were so disappointed we travel a little further to get our fish and chips

Went to Lakeside Fish and Chips in Wixams, Bedford for lunch with a group of friends. Was expecting average fish and chip shop food but the menu is very different and not like I've seen before. Fish wrap containing salsa, rice, cheese, creme fraiche, and lettuce was one of the best combinations I've ever tasted. They also offered a healthy option of grilled fish which is something I haven't seen in a chip shop before. This was perfect for my friend on slimming world. They provided food that suited us all. Staff were very friendly, and all food was cooked fresh which meant a five minute wait, but was defiantly worth it. Will defiantly be returning to Lakeside.
