Having been ripped off royally in Cornwall I was pleased to find a genuine meal deal. I’d prefer cod but the deal was haddock so haddock it was. The food was good, the fish was fresh and the chips were tasty. The bread came buttered. We got mushy peas on the side. The servers were friendly and the food was delivered promptly. They happily took credit card payments. The cafe is comfortable and the ambiance was pleasant.

My friend and I were on a day trip and this was the first fish and chip cafe we came across. Large fish and chips, mushy peas, slice of bread and butter and a large latte...£10.50...wow! And it was freshly cooked to order, fast service and the staff were absolutely lovely. We were greeted with a smile and they were polite and extremely hard working. I just wish this place was nearer to me because I would definitely use it again

Best fish and chips in Wakefield with good service. don't believe the last negative comment i was in that day the customers got what they asked for and was very rude to the owner even when he refunded the full amount.

Two stars for good service and portion size, however the fish was definitely not fresh, it had a slight taste of ammonia which indicates old fish frozen for too long so not impressed at all as most of it went into the bin.

Consistently good chippy and cheap eats. Good portion sizing. Chips are not greasy and that's a good thing. I just wish the chips could be a bit more crispier.

Customer service was shocking. Then, having ordered fish and chips with scraps, but was told "no scraps today"...i noticed thick liquid pouring out of the fish. I cut into the fish to find the batter was raw and dripping off the fish inside, which was also freezing. I told the staff who looked at one another and then said they would make another. Feeling sick at this point, i told them i wanted a refund which i was handed with no apology. I have been violently sick for the last 2 hours. Never, ever again. The absolute worst food i have ever had 🤢🤢🤮🤮

Every time my daughter and I go shopping in wakefield city centre, we choose to have our midday meal here, We have never had a disappointing meal, the quality of the fish is first class, the batter is light and crisp, and the chips are perfect. The staff attend to us quickly, and are friendly every time we visit. I am more than confident you will enjoy your meal.

Today I came in here as I was off my work break. I was extremely hungry and decided to go and visit this chippy shop I saw. The staff were extremely nice and the place had excellent customer service. The fish and chips were very good. Everything about was correct, it was one of the best fish and chips I’ve had for a while.If you’re ever in Wakefield you must visit this chippy. You will not be disappointed.

People who work there are very nice and i always chat to them (especially on a Saturday). The eating space is nicely spaced out and toilets are clean especially considering these are public. Amazing deals on offer - 14.49 for fish and chips with a drink and topping for two. The kids sizes are perfect-not to small not to big. The food itself is served a nice warm plate and the food tastes fresh and is the best fish and chips around. It seems to get better and better every time i go in as well- been the best for years since they hired a new chef!

Been here three times now, it's ok for a town fish shop but nothing too special. I came here with hubby the last time, there was a strange smell lingering through the restaurant i noticed it walking in it wasn't good. The meal was what i expected just like the ones i had previously. Very nice but nothing special. Pleasant efficient staff and good service.

I was entertaining my grandkids for the day so we called into here for lunch as a change from fast food. I was concerned on our arrival as the restaurant looked extremely tired and a tad grubby, however, we chose a table at the back of the room. I was surprised by the menu, I had hoped there might be more variety, especially in terms of the children's menu as whatever we looked at seemed to be unavailable.They lady came and took our order and was back within about ten minutes. As she put our plates down on the table she asked for payment. I was rather surprised at this so my lunch waited until she had gone and got the card machine and I paid. One child asked for orange juice and got a watery glass of squash and he didn't like his fish at all (he usually loves fish). I had expected an option where fish and chips, bread and butter and tea were served as a package but the menu didn't offer anything like this.To be honest I was happy to get out of the place, I believe that calling this a restaurant is against the trades descriptions act. It is a café at best. We wont be coming here again.

No estoy seguro de por dónde empezar. Al entrar se podía oler que una barda fregona había sido utilizada en la planta, muy elegantes. . La Mesa había sido limpiado con un paño húmedo fiesty. Olía a gato. Pescado y chip. Con salsa de curry. Mi esposa tenía patatas fritas pescado y guisantes. El bateador alrededor del pescado fue quemada y oscura. Abrir el pescado. . Pescado en sí sabía bien.. Sólo una vez que pescaban. el profundo charco de aceite! ! El nivel de comida aquí es super mala, el lugar está sucio y cansado. Esto podría ser un buen lugar en el centro de la ciudad, una verdadera pena y una decepción. Yo sugiero que evitar.

Fui a la pesca de Inglaterra la semana pasada y me gustó mucho. He leído un montón de comentarios negativos, pero siento que aquí es probar distintas perspectivas. El abadejo de tamaño normal es enorme, una buena relación calidad-precio. Hacen un gran eglefino, que sería un reto en sí mismo. Las patatas guisantes de un tamaño generoso gran relación calidad-precio. El personal agradable. Así que no veo por qué los comentarios negativos. Sin duda alguna el "fish and chips" de nuevo cuando necesita una gran causa alimentar este chippy no pequeña.

Called in saturday dinner and the place was not very busy, lots of half finished plates still on uncleared tables, not the cleanest of places , but we were very hungry and thought we would give it a try. The fish and chips looked nice enough but the fish was poor quality and didnt taste freshly cooked and was bland, the chips wernt any better either, service was poor,staff more interested in geting your money than bothered wether you had a nice meal or not. Wont be going again

I found the fish and chips to be good though not great. The fish was large, cooked well and the chips were slightly different however importantly not greasy. I would have said it's an acceptable option for fish and chips in the area however the service was very poor. Forced smiles. Food dropped on the table. Glass left upside down when brought with the drink. I was never asked if I was happy with the food either.It's fair to say they are small gripes but each small thing contributes to the overall feeling of not waiting to be there. I would not have hired the person serving. They over shadowed the meal ultimately.I'd only recommend the take out option based on my resteraunt experience. I can't say how the fish and chips measure up to other options in the area.

We was on a shopping trip and spotted The Olde England Fisheries and thought lets give it a try.Great selection on the menu to chose from and also a menu for the kids.They now sell alcohol too and at just £9 for a bottle of wine thought why not.I noticed the size of the fish(or whale) and just ordered that, my partner had fish chips mushy peas.Very fast service by a cheeky waitress.I can honestly say i have never tasted fish like it , it was perfect and very tasty.The place was very clean too.I cant wait to visit again, friendly staff and the owners too.

I called for lunch on Thursday 10th September, I had been shopping, and it was a warm day and I fancied a meal that I could eat outside in the sunshine. and as I passed the Old England Fisheries, the smell drew me in, to the takeaway counter. The restaurant was pretty full, I ordered fish and chips, I could have sat on the outside seating but decided to sit watching the water fountains in the bullring.which is a few yards away.The fish had light crispy batter, and the fish was large and cooked to perfection, it was light flakes the best I have tasted in a long time. the chips were just the way I like them, cooked in Palm oil. and proper potatoes I would think fresh , not frozen , good value for money and a good filling meal.

Attended this chippy recently for dinner, as soon as you walk through the door there's no indication to whether you should wait at the door for a table or sit yourself down. Miserable waitress came over, took our order and walked off. A thank you would have been nice.Another waitress came out, this one looked abit happier, slammed our food down and said how much it costs and walked away.Food was lovely, cannot fault it. However there was 3 flies that kept landing on us or our food. One fly landed in my partners tartare sauce and got stuck in it!!! It was absolutely boiling in there and I heard a few other customers complain about the heat and the flies. Can of coke was £1.15.Will not be returning sadly.

Fish was wafer thin so just tasted of oil & batter just dropped off when i put my knife in the "fish".Went to restuarant part, waited 25 minutes for our meal (take away was empty) and the waitress, who we heard telling another group she was tired, never once said Please or Thank you & dumped the meal on the table like it was too much trouble. Floor was very slippy, could do with a proper scrub..accident waiting to happen.Plenty of competition in the area so dont know why they let theirs be so bad.

Once upon a time, ever biggish town in the UK had at least one combination Fish & Chip shop and restaurant, where you could get a reasonably priced fish-themed lunch with tea, bread and butter. A lot of them have disappeared, or been replaced by coffee bars, but the Old England is still there. I ate on a Thursday lunchtime when it was very quiet, and had the special lunchtime offer - £4.99 for fish, chips, bread & butter and tea (or, in my case, coffee). It came more or less instantly, was well cooked and a decent piece of fish. There weren't a huge amount of chips, but more than enough for a light lunch. The staff were polite and very efficient, and overall it was a good experience - not somewhere you'd go for that special meal, but a great day to day place to eat - especially at the lunchtime price!

First time in this eatery. My husband and I went in for lunch. It was pretty quiet. We both ordered the fish and chips special, which came with white or brown bread and butter and a choice of coffee or tea. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. The food arrived promptly, was freshly cooked and delicious and was greatly enjoyed by both of us. I am quite fussy about fish and chips, having been disappointed on numerous occasions elsewhere, but this was one of the best.

Title may be harsh but i think it somes it up. We couldnt even unwrap the food it was so wet and the fish just disintegrated into mush. Completely tasteless. Shame because portion size was spot on. A few teaspoons of scraps were thrown on at best and these were pale and again soggy. The chips were basically inedible with the amount of grease. They looked so under cooked i can safely say i have never had them so poor and i have experienced a few bad ones. The curry sauce was nothing to write home about either. Maybe the rest of the food give me this impression but i have been very very honest. The food was not placed in a carrier bag to sweat and we drove only for a few mins home. Tried others in the area and totally different experiences. Felt so bloated and greased up we managed about half before skipping the rest.

You have an impressive vegan menu. I had the plant based fish and chips. It was absolutely delicious, followed by the apple crumble and ice cream. The rest of the family had the Beyond burgers and chocolate torte. We will definitely be regular customers now. Service was excellent and it was such good value for money.
