Mikes Fish in West Lancashire

Very friendly and efficient staff. Quickly attended to. Food was average at best. Chinese sauce lacking in flavour and too thin. Chips OK just about. Spring rolls not good (too squidgy). Meal score 5/10

Portions have shrunk a lot and prices are high! Only got 5 skinny ribs, you used to get at least 8!

Last 3 times ive been the chips have not been fresh on all meals sausage dinners chips curry and fish and chips they where disgusting and all family of 4 had to bin them from there meals if they was fresh i wouldnt complain but spending roughly £20/£25 each time i would expect them to be eatable not for the bin very dissappointed when there fresh there nice but very rare now

For me, the best Fish and chips around! Throw curry or gravy on! Even peas! Top drawer! Great staff as well Roll on Phat Fryday 👍🏽

Probably the best Chinese meal I’ve had, EVER! The portions are great and the food was ready when expected. Lovely. Highly recommend!

Always enjoyed Mike's, not been since they got took over Went today , ordered a Chinese, sLt and pepper ribs , don't know any animal with ribs this small , more like knuckles there was no bone in them just like the grissel ends and it's all disguised by a coating , salt and pepper chicken was overcooked and the spicy noodles had no spice and raw onion , the special chowmein had no chicken or beef in it , it was just charsui with the odd prawn , with a little slab of ham charsui and chicken on top , 2 meals and a side and I had the pleasure of paying £22 for it aswell , definitely won't be going back , The fortuna is alot better for Chinese .

The best chippy in Skem. Everything Hot, Fresh & Tasty 😋. Spotless , definitely recommend, always busy.

Nice and clean. Friendly staff. Fish quite good. The barbecue sauce is too salty. Chips not so good - a bit dry.

I've tried them all and its good food, good price and usually a a bit of banter with the staff. Always open to which is handy. Certainly one of the best chippy's in the area. Best in Skem.

I was very polite and asked them for well done chips. Their response was and I quote ‘we will do it this time, but if you ask again, we will say no.’ Ive never had this issue at other chip shops before and they made out they were doing me favor. The bill was £6.10 which In comparison to Sandy Lane Chippy up the road where it usually costs me £5. In addition the staff are a lot friendly and offer a better customer experience. Unfortunately Sandy lane was closed as I visited at 1530 hours. I will not be venturing back to Mikes in hurry and I urge others to do the same as it was an unpleasant experience.

My friend said it was good, chow mein well he must had different one to me same night, I was disappointed in it, I my favourite from chippies this one It was dry, tasteless meats, had no vegetables in it, two king prawns, no prawns or mushrooms. I had some good meals from Mikes.

As per title :) best chippy in skelmersdale - Crispy Chilli Beef is fantastic :) Friendly staff, great service

Mikes Fish and Chips is a good Chippy popular with locals and workers from the many businesses in the area. Nice friendly staff and good food. Some great deals on offer too.

This is our local chippy and we always choose mikes! Fish and chips are great generous portions, the meals deals they have on during the week are great, especially with a large family, we go At least once a month and they always have a variety of deals, specials and offers.

Good prices lots of choice prompt and efficient the only drawback the curry sauce everything else is great

Bank Holiday Monday and all chinese restaurants are closed around here, so bit the bullet and ordered crispy chilli chicken from Mikes. Our previous visit we got the fish & chip 3.99 deal which we found to be like eel in batter and was binned. Never again we thought. Got home and found the chicken to be a dry cold lump of mess. No sauce at all, a few onions and chilli slices thrown in, When mixed with the rice, it was tasteless andinedible. Thrown in the bin, absolute disgrace, I have just wasted money again. This has to be the worst Chinese food in the UK

I phoned to order some Chinese food, however lady spoke very poor English so we visited shop instead. We have gone here for years but it’s been taken over recently and food has gone steadily worse. My fish and chips weren’t cooked properly and my husband wasn’t happy with his chicken chow mien. We will not be going back.

came here the other week for fish and chips, after reading in the local paper it was 2.50 for fish and chips, got a shock when my wife said it was 4.50 and the fish was small as a hobbit, looked like it was caught down some ones back garden, don't thing we will be going there again.

Local chippy. Always fast service which is great. The chips could do with being cooked a little more,but other than that... All the food tastes good. My family love this chippy.

Great fish and chips,but my favourite has to be the beef curry and chips.they also do lots of other meals I’m sure that they are just as good

The food is always lovely and the place is always so clean and the staff are very friendly and the new hours are brilliant

This is the best Chippy in the universe. The food is Hot,Yummy,Tasty,well cooked,well presented,it's always very busy. Staff are very sweet,they always wear a smile.

Had several meals from Mike's over the last few years and never been disappointed, the staff are very friendly and always quick to serve you. A good menu and good value.

The Corry and chips are very good excellent staff team work to do the food and it is better than asherst fish and chips shop because there were mush up chips not nice at all your mikes fish and chip shop is best in world I am very very very proud of all the staff well don

It ok chips are soggy and greasy to much fat I won’t go back there dothin chippy is the best one ether in world

New promotion, Wednesdays, Fish & Chips £3.99.

Great service, looks clean, nice food. They do a great omelette and crispy chilli beef Not much more to say 🙂

Food is superb. Excellent value Special offers on different days If you can find a better fish and chips for £3.75 (Wednesday offer) then let me know where, please. Service is always quick with plenty of friendly staff.

Well done the staff at Mikes, you got it it right👍enough staff no long queues and good food 🥘 when ordering you never wait long for fresh cooked food. love it 👌🏻

We regularly eat from Mikes, their phone order service is fantastic to save queueing at busy times. Monday and Tuesday offer of cut price Chinese meals is fantastic. You can feed a family for under £20. Wednesday is cut price fish and chips. The variety of choices is really great. The staff are helpful and attentive, the shop is always clean and bright. One of the best take away shops in the area.

Just had a fish sandwich and it was lovely! Fish was cooked nicely and wasn't too greasy. Can't comment on anything they do though.

Chinese meals also available (also very good) orders can be taken over the phone and are ready in minutes.unbeatable prices

Mikes has a varied menu, they cook lots of food fresh. The staff are pleasant and the venue is always spotless. I particularly like the TVs and seating which helps with the wait when your order meals... the wait isn't overly long that said.

Always packed, go to the other chippys the owner is stood behind the counter scratching his backside waiting for a customer, enough said. Go to this one on a Friday and see the queue, it is like this for a reason Because its the BEST

A bit hit and miss with this place. Used to be really nice, but on my recent visit, got a sausage dinner and the chips just tasted very greasy and the sausages were full of bits of bone. Was absolutely disgusting. Will never go here...

Often treat my self to a Donna Meat and Chips, I think it the best in Skelmersdale, eaten there for over 5 years.Do some meal deals on certain days of the week, Wednesday is Fish and Chips, other day Chinese meal all one price.

God. Where to start. Greasy meal. Greasy shop. Greasy hair on the staff. Peoper scummy place. Sorry. Will never go back and will advise lads in work to give it a miss

Greasy limp chips, fish like rubber, staff grumpy and I'm not convinced about the hygiene. Definitely the WORST chippy in Skelmersdale.

The quality of food and service not up to standard, much better chip shops near. Chinese food awful.

This chip shop also has small portions, some of the food is ok but would only go here if the others in town are closed

We used to go to this Chippy but our last visit will be the last.Poor service and terrible food.The best Chippy in Skem is Ashurst Chippy and will go there in future.

Personally the best chippy in skelmersdale never had a bad meal great value for money portions are big

Used to be good, but now its inconsistent and always wrong orders! Too far to go back and answer is tough! Prove it! Will not be going back

Love this chippy every time I have gone here the food is always lovely the staff really friendly and it always looks spotless clean. The big plus side aswell is the price,as it is great value for money.Would really recommend mikes chippy.

Staff are very polite food is always cooked nice valve for moneyparking is ok phone ordering is reliable

Travel to Mikes chippy in Old Skem from Ashurst. The meals are very good but the chips are a bit of a let down. They are fine when you first open them but for some reason I can't explain after a few minutes they go crusty and lose heat very quickly.I find this is happening in most of the chip shops in Skem and put it down to a poor quality oil the chips are cooked in but I might be wrong in that assumption.

It's not just this month we've been here. It's been A LOT of times. Every time ace food and served by friendly faces. U got the normal British fair to Chinese and u don't have to go to a foreign kebab house that are dirty and expensive to get one as they do a beltin donner too. Lots of space inside and you can watch TV while u wait. Instead of going across the road to be stared at in a smelly kebab shop. Top place mikes, all brits keep it going.

Go here quite often, as it's close to work and good value for money and they make good chips. The staff are always pleasant, even if they are rushed off their feet. They always donate free chips to our charity events too and none of the other local businesses do this.

I have been using this chippy for many years and always give them the benefit of may be they are busy, but have got the wrong orders so many times now, and then having to go back there which is 10 mins drive. I ordered Prawn Tomatoe and got Prawn Toastie the Curry is never the same every thime you go in there. Would only recommend them for Fish and Chips

Quick and efficient service and very reasonable price. Variety of served will satisfy most of the customers

Always served quick plus you can ring your order through. Always hot, always tasty! A wide range of food on offer from Chinese to burgers to plain old chips. Its been in the town for many years and the reason its successful is because it serves good food.

This is the best place in Skelmersdale for fish & Chips. the chinese meals are the best around the town

We visit Mikes regularly, as we live close by, and the fish is really lovely. They cook it specially for me, as I don't like a lot of batter, and it's great.My family have the Chinese and say that's good too.There have been a couple of times when the chips are better than others but I think it depends what time you go but they are still great.

This is a very good chippy. Food and service is always of a high standard.We had cod and chips. The batter was crisp and thin how Ilike it and the chips hot and delicious.The girl serving was very friendly and the owner Mike always game for a laugh.He agreed that he is the image of Paddy from Emmerdale.

Great Chippy lovely food English And Chinese staff great. Always head for mikes after a holiday. Quality banquets at reasonable prices and very generous portions could do with bigger parking area as so many people go for there food

I have always been a regular customer to Mike's Chippy for years, but on my last visit there, I ordered chips and beansprouts. The women shouted through to someone in the back my order, & a few minutes later, a man appeared from the back to say my beansprouts are on. The man then started flipping the chips with one hand while be waited, and started picking items from his nose with the other... Obviously I won't be returning. The women couldn't understand why I found it disgusting either! What?!

Great staff, customer service and great food. Ideal location. Fish and chips perfect, unlike most chippies where they can be soggy.

I had some friends over visiting my house for the first time and we agreed on this food service to grab ourselves some dinner. We went in and ordered food and she put vinegar on my chips without asking (I don't like vinegar) my friend politely let her know that this was a mistake and that I only wanted salt, she immediately jumped to giving him grief, 'Well why did you say to put vinegar on then'We politely explained it was a simple mistake and likely just a mishearing. Then she asked if my other friend wanted vinegar on his chips, to which I replied "Yeah, one minute let me check" to which he didn't, however she had already splashed vinegar all over his food. Again, we explained this was incorrect and not what we asked for.At this point her, and her two colleagues immediately started calling us liars, giving us grief over a simple misunderstanding. One of which even remarked 'perhaps you shouldn't have been lying'Calling us liars, really? Then the manager did nothing, simply remarked to his colleagues 'Are they complaining?' to which they simply said we were just lying and idiots.We quickly paid and left and once we got home I rang up the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, once I got on the phone to him to ask if we could talk about what happened he hung up!Never have I seen such awful customer service, I will never again go to this establishment, especially not when they share a road with several other take-away services.

Terrible service, extremely rude staff and the manager was not even bothered when the customer was spoken to in a horrific manner. The food wasn't that good either, there are plenty of other takeaways in the area that provide better food and more importantly a friendlier service!

Take Away: Always good food, very good service. Best chips ever. From the meals to the chips - it's all good. Not over priced either, very good value.

Let's get this straight Mikes is a Chip Shop and Chinese takeaway so for that reason I can't score it a 5. No idea why Trip advisor categories restaurant and takeaways as the same they are clearly not.However I would score Mikes a 5 if i was scoring takeaways.I've been going to Mikes for years and I've never had a terrible meal so I am shocked to see some bad reviews. I can honestly say that Mikes is by far the best Chippy in Skelmersdale whiteout doubt.If your looking for a good Chippy Tea then this is the Chippy for you.The Chinese meals are always good too and there is a huge selection.

A nice local chippy which provides a tasty easy meal a reasonable price offering a mix of cuisines so covers most taste parking available nearby so easy to nip for the chippy supper

Everytime i go there it is Always busy, you never wait too long for your food, i have never had a bad meal in over ten years and the staff are always very polite

Good food cooked well, wether Chinese or English I have never had a bad meal here. The staff are really helpful, never a long wait no matter how big the queue is.

We decided on a family tea worst thing we could of done the chips where disgusting reheated to death pies where dry inside really horrible meal won't be going again

Sorry I did they where horrible as if they had been warmed up not nice atall so I ended up binning them. And having a tin of salmon must be the worst chippy in skem

I went to Mikes chippy tonight at around 4.45pm I was with my partner, I asked for a bag of chips as they're are really good and you get a lot, this bag of chips had to feed 5 of us! I went outside to answer the phone, I got the chips and as I've got home they're was only enough chips for 1 person, I also paid £1.20 for these! I don't rate this very good I don't know what is wrong with them tonight! It's disgraceful.

Been here a couple of times now and sorry but not impressed at all .I think they cater to too many tastes !Why not specialise and make the best tasting food you can.Chinese is awful and so is their fish Knocked off my list

Dreadful plaice soggy chips cold soggy batter on the fish it went in the bin I had beans on toast rather than eat the stuff from that shop

Fish is fab. Special fried rice with bbq sauce not so good sauce has no taste an looks like its been watered down. ....salt and pepper ribs and chicken are also good.overall good value. ..but you get what you pay for. ..

live local won't something different to eat(or just plain lazy)well worth going to mikes price is right

My wife and I went to mikes today as our normal chippy was closed, just curry rice and chips but it was as good as any chippy we've been to

Great food, reasonably priced. Very clean inside. We have food from Mikes chippy a few times a month, never been disappointed!

The place is always clean and well lit, service average to good, food varies from average to good BUT small portions and a bit dearer than some!!

well known by the locals "mikes" is a great chippy, hard to say much about a chippy but from a cone of chips to a meal I've never had a bad experience here

I w as told Mikes was the best chippy in Skem, what a disappointment, the service was good and the place was clean but, the food was awful. The chips had been warmed up ( probably for the third time ) the curry tasted like salty soap, and the less said about the battered fish the better. ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Will adapt the menu to suit my requirements. I have always found mikes to be clean and well lit. I travel from the other end of Skem to buy my takeaway

We love Mike's chippy. From the monthly take-outs to the time my daughter had had her first baby and, having been at the labour all day, we stumbled in there late in the evening and they politely listened to me regale them with tales of the birth - we always look forward to chippy nights from Mike's. The staff are lovely, the food is always delightful and it's great value for money. Thanks Mike's for being there for us in Old Skem :)

Me and my colleagues visit Micks at least once a month. None of us (there are 6 of us) have ever had any complaints about the food. We only order off the Chinese menu and think it is the best around. The staff are very friendly and they look happy in their jobs. This is reflected in the standard of the food on offer. A clue to how good it is can be found in the fact that the local Police and Fire fighters are repeat customers. Always a good sign! Try the spicy Singapore vermicelli or the sweet and sour chicken. Forget the one star reviews.

Great chippy, friendly staff and always hot delicious meals. If it is not on the menu they will make it for you. Salt & Pepper King Prawn is the best ever !.This is a Take Away not a sit in restaurant open 7 days 4.30pm - 10pm Chippy Chinese

Food cold. Fish like rubber chips not cooked .place over staffed....will never go there again would starve first....place was taken over not long back think this could explain alot AWFUL save your money

Comfortable seating with music to keep you occupied, cheap meal deals, clean.Meals aren't the best I've ever had, and defo not the worst. I would go again. X

Mikes chippy is the best in Old Skem and if it weren't for the fish batter being a bit soggy and on occasion disappointing they would be the best in the whole of Skelmersdale. Shop and staff are clean and friendly, menu has lots of choices including Chinese food that is better by far then even the local Chinese shops! The prices are good and always have new offers available along with meal deals too.

just look the beef and mushroom dinner, the beef curry also very nice as is the sweet and sour, best curry in town for me

English and Chinese food, all very nice and value for money. Oh, and they do kebabs with loads of sauses and salad.

We always use this chippy, when it's just us and when we have family over for Chinese. Always satisfies us and our visitors. Everyone we recommend it to is impressed as well. Portion sizes are huge! We get a set meal for four between six and a portion of chips extra and there's usually quite a lot left over. Food is always tasty- will remain our usual chip shop!
