Lion & Herring in Great Yarmouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food cooked fresh , staff friendly and establishment clean

Best chips in yarmouth. Decently priced and always quick service too. Only complaint is that it's not a 24 hour chippy!

4 staff members behind the counter and nobody in the queue. Took a lifetime to serve me the most unappealing portion of fish bites and chips in the universe. The fish inside the batter was about the size of a penny. I'll NEVER return to this place. £15 for 3 meals of this size. Unsatisified and hungry 😠

Seaside fish and chips, YEAH SKINon fish no no no no Never had to ask for it to be removed no no no no no no no SO its a big NO NO NO NO NO from me.

There is plenty of space inside, free cash atm and toilet. The large herring and chips were large and good priced. Fast served and very good food. We are coming back!

never received order even after speaking to driver and clarification of my exact location atrocious service

The plaice was vile. Had a strong fishy smell and ammonia and strong off fish taste. I’m pregnant and would not call that safe to consume.

Lovely freshly cooked plaice and chip. Just the right quantity for a pensioner and realistic price. Mug of Tea was lovely

A rainy day in Great Yarmouth and you really want to sit in and have fish and chips, so was delighted to find this place just off of the main front. Very friendly welcome with the counter in front and the tables and chairs to the left. TV on the wall and music playing. Both sound on but not a disaster on the ear drums. To sit down we had to pull the table away from the bench seating along the wall, something which we later discovered to be a shop policy as once another couple left, the table was pushed back against the bench seat, which doesn’t make it too welcoming, but probably helps with sweeping and cleaning (something they were very rapid at doing). As for the food. Medium cod and chips for both of us, with mushy peas on the side. It was all very tasty and the chips were cooked to perfection. Nice and fluffy. How it was served was the concern for me. It was served on a small round polystyrene plate. Absolutely no room for the peas with salt and vinegar needing to be administered by lifting the fish out of the way. Wooden knife and fork as well. Fortunately this didn’t detract from the food quality which was very nice but I left feeling that this restaurant was suffering a bit of an identity crisis. It called itself a restaurant and looked like a restaurant but it identifies as a take away. Honestly I think I would have preferred paper to the polystyrene nonsense if I wasn’t getting a proper plate. Don’t let this put you off though. Friendly guys, good quality, reasonably priced food. I’d go back.

A nice friendly restaurant that you can dine in or takeaway. Also great value.

We had haddock and chips for lunch and sat inside. The staff were lovely. The batter was very light and crispy. The price was very reasonable and we will go there again.

Driver or cyclist went wrong road chips were cold fish was very oily and the oil coming off it was syrupy colour won’t be ordering again

As always great food and lots of it

Lovely staff, tasty cod and chips and the portion size was spot on. They make a decent brew too. What's not to like? Will definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

Great fish chips mushy peas 🫛 😋

The chips was too hard to eat so we didn't eat them and the fish was such a disappointment, tasted warmed up and just not nice. Was not worth any of them money tbh. Very disappointed

Absolutely first class service...My new 'go to' place for fish & chips...cooked to perfection...(I asked for my chips a bit browner and they duly obliged...lovely stuff!!)

I was left wondering where my chips had gone as the meal included them, didn't it?

Food was very greasy. Gherkins were inedible. Not recommended.

Definitely go again great prices, good food filled the plate

no updates, food arrived 1hr & 10 min after ordering. Delivery driver didn't say a word just handed me the food. Food was cold & chips were especially poor quality . Probably the worst food I've had on just eat so will not be using again.

Nice fish and chips good food selection

Nice quality food with space to sit and eat. Service was friendly but not very speedy.

5 meals, including 2 children, but everyone agreed it was just disgusting. Worst fish and chips ever, avoid.

BEST bit of haddock I've had in years...top notch...

Service was fast and staff were friendly. The chips were hot but a little soggy and pie was heated by microwave. Sausage in batter was the best bit.

Great food. Would highly recommend.

Lovely staff but fish was really disappointing, tasteless.

We only parked near this place!

My food got delivered to wring address

Delivery is 2star as I had to order my meal twice as my first order got delivered to wrong address so £30 is a expensive chippy for some fish and chips

Great place, abit more on the expensive side for fish and chips in Yarmouth but still tasted nice. Only main complaint would be the gravy needs to be warmer

Lots of vegetarian options, good price and dogs welcome with indoor seating!

Was really greasy and fish was overcooked, wasn't really impressed

Disgusting fish and chips complete waste of money we had a couple of mouthfuls and left the food and walked out with hindsight I should have demanded a refund.

Good place to have traditional fish & chips, also would recommend chicken if you're not a fan of fish

reasonable quality and mighty fast!

I’ce cream was just put in bag with hot food so was defrosted when delivered, chicken breast was the size of a pigeon breast, ordered many times before but after this debacle never ever again.

My food never got delivered and the restaurant did little to help. And just eat itself is a useless company to try and resolve or even find someone to actually speak to .

If I had seen such poor reviews, I honestly would have gone there, but my fish & chips was absolutely lovely, some of the best I’ve tasted.

Excellent driver. Great service

Rank fish must of been sitting there for hours Reheated fish Greasy as hell Never again Served on polystyrene trays Never said thanks when leaving Toilets need a good clean too

Good fish and chips and cheaper than most places we looked at in Great Yarmouth.

Always delicious food. Great value for money. Fast delivery xx Thank you

Lovely fish and chip's hot and crispy fish lovely.

Good delivery time. Kids said nuggets were good, chips were tasty, pies were nice, cod was also good but skin was on, which is down to personal preference that we like it without. The only negative was the battered sausages weren't very hot and the actual sausage was a funny texture and didn't taste very nice. Overall good so would use again.

Great staff 👍 Decent food 👌 Great battered sausage !! Sauces let it down tasted watered down

The fish and chips arrived on time and nice and hot, Haddock was lovely and tasty with skin on just the way I like it, chips were great too ...

Tasty food, clean restaurant and quick service. I thought it good value for money for the amount of food.

The worse fish and chips ever,anywhere. Dripping in old brown oil,the oil in my care engine is cleaner. Served on a paper plate with plastic cutlery. If your fancying fish and chips look elsewhere, the staff won't mind not with the couldn't care less attitude. They will give my town a bad reputation.

Food was alright quality but arrived cold Sadly enjoyable meal just a shame considering the delivery time was fairly fast

Chips looked like there were cooked at 6 am and have been cooked 10 times since Disgusting Fish completely soggy

I honestly don’t like leaving such negative reviews (i know, ‘That’s what they all say, Karen!’) but the chips were brown, rubbery and tasted like they’d been warmed up since this morning. The pie had clearly been microwaved and was dry and rubbery. I would absolutely not order from this place again. Even the kids (whom I have caught licking live snails) wouldn’t eat it.

Great to find somewhere frying chips in oil. The chips were delicious, like old fashioned home made ones.

Probably the worst battered sausages I've ever eaten. Even the dog who normally is sniffing about for the end bits stuck his nose up. Gross 🤢 chips are clearly cooked in old oil, was 1 chicken nugget short and they forgot the mayo. Wish I'd spent the extra couple of quid and gone Ramsdens tbh 😪

Absolutely disgusting. Everything was definitely cooked in old oil. Chips were so dark in colour and inedible. Fish was mushy and dripping in oil. Left with no dinner to eat and our weekly treat money gone. Ordered off just eat hoping for an easy tea but ended up with a mess. Tried to speak to the restaurant over the phone and was told it’s the potatoes they use and when I disputed this they just hung up. STAY WELL CLEAR

Absolutely disgusting. All the food was clearly cooked in old oil. I contacted the restaurant to be told it’s the potatoes they use. Sorry but the food is not right and it isn’t the potatoes to blame. To top it off they hung up on me while making a complaint. Left with no edible dinner and our weekly treat money gone. STAY WELL CLEAR

Poor quality fish and chips considering it was a seaside cafe. The Fish and chips were dry. Service was adequate but nothing to shout about The general ambience was poor, and the place was plain and undecorated.

Lovely fish and chips also something vegan for my wife to eat. Good positions of food.

No good . Cold chips ,thin no flavour curry .not a welcoming place from the lads , don't work in a place I'd you can't be friendly

To start with we would never go there again ...the girl needs people skills when serving, sweeping the floor why we were eating....going to the meal the chips were dry and bitty the curry was water the peas were tin peas which had a horrible taste ...I think you should get a better chef ,the toilets not nice the atmosphere was not great to sum it up it was utter s##t

Food was all over cooked and grim.will never order from here again

Excellent fish crispy and not oily as most of the fishes

Lovely food , as always , definitely recommend 👍

Quick service and delicious cod & chips.

Food arrived on time and hot. The chips were nice, the cod and cod bites were lovely, however, the savaloy was hard on the bottom where it had been out for ages and the curry sauce was really watered down and tasted funny.

Don't eat in here after 7pm...Whilst you are eating, the floor is being swept throwing up dust etc around your table....When complained, was told we have to because we have been open since lunch time and we close at 8pm.....So, we had to suffer whilst we were eating....NEVER NEVER again!!!!!! Don't care attitude...When asked for money back..was told he would have to speak to Manager....who then was unobtainable!!!! Somebody was there..hiding in the background!!!!! Ruined meal...

We popped in here for lunch, we noticed it up the side road and had a look in, place looked clean and tidy so we decided to eat here, we were severed by a younger lady who was extremely polite. Food was reasonably priced and came rather quickly. The only downside was having to pay for sauces, you’d expect tomato ketchup to be available when sitting in but overall the place was great for a quick lunch stop. Food was great and enjoyed by all 4 of us.

Very good fish, chips and mushy peas, a very clean establishment and friendly staff.

Missing an item and when I called, they said it was there but wouldn’t be sending the driver back to deliver it. Said I could cancel and re-order but it meant I’d have to pay the delivery fee twice! I tried to explain this but it wasn’t great customer service from the restaurant. Won’t be using again.

Really nice fish and chips, arrived quickly too and polite delivery driver.

Fish was burnt and dry. I got soggy rolls I didn’t order so fewer chips. So unlike usual standard from this restaurant.

Traditional fish and chips and extras. Good sized portions.

Brilliant tasty fish supper will be back

Do not eat here, dry small piece of fish, cold chips, polystyrene plates and plastic knives and forks.£38 for 2 adults and 2 under 10s too. Had to pay 10p extra for a sachet of tartare sauce too. Awful. Save your money

Best fish and chips we've found in Yarmouth

A little hit and miss the fish and chips were ok, the chicken burger wasn’t, it tasted old unfortunately

Young girl on the till had no people skill and was more concerned about her fake nails than takin orders 3 of us had battered sausage and are now ill from this so make sure there cooked properly

Fantastic fish and chips would recommend this chip shop to anyone coming to great yarmouth

Freshly cooked Cod and Chips, served by friendly staff. Large portions at a great price. Will definitely use again next time we are in Great Yarmouth.

Always amazing, fresh, hot food. Staff are lovely. Thank you for always providing amazing food.

Great food , best chippy in Great Yarmouth

Nice to get out of the cold. Food a lot better than we were expecting. We will use this place again.

Batter sausage was the smallest I’ve ever had. Had to pay for ketchup 10p per sachet which was day light robbery. The chips were dry, a good size for the price but definitely will not be going back. Still in shock that you have to pay for ketchup in a chippy!

Worse fish and chips possible. Gosh was dry and old, chips was okay. Curry sauce was nice. High chairs were terrible and service was shocking. The girl there needs to learn to smile a bit. Only reason we came here was because nothing else was open, never again

Over priced £30 large chips cod pie chip’s sausage chips really greasy gravy and curry really runny just horrible all together

Service was quick and delivery came slightly early. Fish wasn’t the best. Curry sauce was very thin and tasteless. Sausage was just ok. Wouldn’t use again personally

Best fish and chip shop , would definitely recommend

Just got two hake and one cod and chips takeaway. The fish was all burnt and tasted of old oil. Worst fish and chips I've had in a long while.

Food was very over cooked unfortunately

Kind and freindly welcome with fast service and great tasting chips, restaurant itself was empty but was taking away anyway, served straight away reasonable size and prices for a chip shop by the seaside.

Really nice fish and chips Friendly staff Decent size portions

Good quality fish and chips just needed chips with salt and vinegar also maybe try changing the oil in the fryers as this was very dark brown and didn’t have the best taste

Friendly staff, nice to be able to sit and eat out of the wind. Prices reasonable and food cooked to order quickly. Nice too!

Rubbish chippy. Friendly staff. Food was garbage

Lovely fish great chips and peas

Smaller portion of chips than usual, cold and late

Scrummy food, not greasy and just enough so that none was wasted, lovely will defo order again

Went out the way for the worse fish n chips in yarmouth. No large cod.if it was cod cold chips and expensive and topped off with some old pickled onion juice. Robbery in the day. Stay clear
