Fancied some fish and chips while in Blackpool, and Pablos looked good from the outside. Hones, i’d give it a miss. Clean and tidy, but the service is ridiculously slow, they couldn’t get a simple order right and looked as my wife like she was stupid when she pointed out that we were a portion of chips missing.

Always gead for Pablos when we visit Blackpool. But what have you done to it? Order on a machine. Served in cardboard tray with wooden utensils and tea in takeaway mug. Was always queues not now. What happened to proper plates, utensils and mugs. And I suspect the pudding was microwaved not steamed lie ut used to be. Food average. Sorry won't visit again after 40yrs

Overpriced, poor quality, awful service after unnecessary automated ordering service. Could accept the overpriced charges but for the fact the chips and fish were poorly cooked and low quality. Meal was served in cardboard carton and wooden knife and fork with bread, which they had forgotten, served in a paper bag with a butter pack. We were the only people in the restaurant at the time and had to go searching for a member of staff on 2 occasions to obtain missing items and complain about the meal.

Yesterday myself and my partner went to pablos ,NEVER AGAIN , do not waste your money here ! first issue - they didn’t have large fish or the seafood bucket so settled on one chips and curry and one chips and cheese with chicken nuggets to share - this came to £19 which is so over priced and nothing special at all . Next main issue ! STAFF , After waiting for some time for a very simple order I looked around for sauce - there wasn’t any ? Paying that much I Expect sauce ! So I ask at the counter to be told by one of the older members of staff that it’s 50p , I go back get the 50p and the member of staff rudely tells me I need to go back of the que to simply get a sauce ! At this stage it was not busy and several staff at the counter . The way he spoke to me was rude and unacceptable, speaking to customers like that is going to run an already over priced chippy into the ground . I refused to pay and re que for sauce , a horrible experience , £19 for basically bog standard chips and one nugget portion ! They also got the order wrong and charged me for an extra pot of curry sauce but at this point after how I’d been spoken to I didn’t dare complain . Spoiled what was our first dinner in Blackpool . The manger needs to do something about staff ! We then went to a very busy Wetherspoons , staff lovely , service great and made our evening better . Please find a different chippy ! Pablos is shocking .

Times 2 and cost £21 😳😳 and a half cup or coffee was £3 then we had eat with wooden knives and forks.. the place was run by what looked like school kids aswell. Basically as absolutely rip off fir something to eat and I used to like this place. If u got deep pockets and want no taste food and pay loads then this is ur place. If ur hungry and on a budget keep walking across the road.. £9 for sausage chips and peas is ridiculous and had zero flavour.. won't be going again

This used to be our favourite place to eat when visiting Blackpool, not anymore I’m afraid. Visited twice trying to give it the benefit of the doubt but both times were poor. It’s now self serve machines although you can also order at the counter, when eating in your food comes in a cardboard container with bamboo cutlery. It’s more akin to McDonald’s than a restaurant now but still charging restaurant prices. The food used to be really good but both times my fish has been overcooked and I’ve had to leave half of it as it was dry and chewy, the chips were really soggy as well and the bread was stale. Such a shame as I used to love this place.

We visited here 13th April, family of 4. The last time we visited here was about 3 years ago, when we were last in Blackpool. It's has had a makeover since then and is much more comfy and has a nicer atmosphere. The prices are a little more than other places but we thought this was justified in the quality. The drinks prices are no more expensive than other places. It's is very rare our youngest child (8 yrs) eats much, but he finished every bit of his fish n chips. The staff were polite and very helpful. The restaurant was clean and tidy, tables cleared, and cleaned quickly.

We went there tonight for dinner at 18.25 to only be told “We are closed” We had checked the website and it said they closed at 7pm. We were extremely unhappy and had to go to a far superior takeaway called chips ahoy and the food was awful! Well that’s another story!

Pablos has been massively upgraded and modernised since we were last in. It has perhaps lost a little bit of its charm. You can now order on a computerised terminal if you wish, a bit like McDonald's. The terminal was quick and easy to use. The food was nice and the prices were reasonable but I ordered a coke on tap and they gave us a tin instead - however it wasn't a big deal.

When in Blackpool, it’s got to be fish ‘n’ chips 🐟 You can order at the counter or on a self-service screen like at McDonald’s. I got a large fish and chips, costing around £15. The size of the fish was huge; I could have happily shared a portion of chips with my friend. Service was very quick!

This is possibly the worst experience of a fish and chip shop we have ever had. The waiting time was ridiculous, but obviously it was going to be busy on a Saturday night. Once the food was eventually produced, by the time we had been given our drinks (part of the meal 'deal', although we had to ask for them as they were not served at the same time as the food) all our meals had cooled substantially. We also tried to catch the attention of a staff member to get some ketchup, but just gave up in the end. The chips were pretty terrible, we couldn't work out if they were over or undercooked or just a combination of both (some were cold, others were red hot). My fish tasted very over-fishy and unpleasant and couldn't be eaten. Our two slices of bread came with enough butter for a Ritz cracker. We left most of the food. It was nearly 40 pounds for for four of us, and most was left uneaten. At least there was a donut stall nearby. I would just avoid this place. The cup of tea was nice though.

the food is nothing special, not even in the top 20 in Blackpool, yet they are the most expensive in Blackpool. To give you an idea, They charge £3 just for a sausage, yet less then ten yards away you can get sausage, chips and curry for the same price and the the same quality. They is no excuse for charging that much. On the next street you can get 2 jumbo, 2 small sausage, 3 large chips, 3 sides for only £9 When you come to Blackpool and avoide this place.

We called in this fish and chip restaurant today expecting some fresh, delicious fish and chips but wow it was disappointing! The fish was dry, old and wafer thin the batter was nice and crispy but that was probably because there was little in it, the portion was small and for a pound shy of £10 each it was nothing short of a rip off.With the thin, bland milkshakes and some cans of coke it cost nearly £40 For 2 adults and 2 children to eat.I need a whole paragraph to describe the gravy, it was lumpy, tasted old and ruined everything it came into contact with, it was almost as foul as the expressions on the face of the miserable staff I had the pleasure of meeting. All in all, in Blackpool, I don't expect much, but for twice what I'd pay at home I didn't expect to get half the quality.If you can't get fish and chips right meters away from the sea then you don't deserve to get rich from people having a day out, treating themselves

overpriced with the smallest of portions. Hiking up your prices and reducing the number of chips means you have lost life long customers.

We have been going to Blackpool fro many years and used to visit Pablos as children with our Mum and Dad in the 60's . It was good then and it is good now. Basic Blackpool Fish and Chips just what you need on a cold and wet raining day on the prom before you walk down the front. We had a very enjoyable meal and was not disappointed by revisiting a very old haunt which brought back some very happy memories. It has many options to choose from and offers a lot more either eat in or take out but it has to be Fish and Chips for us in Blackpool which was delicious

Old school chippie, but brought up to date with an impressive range of meat-free options, many of which are fresh-prepared to order. Portions are generous, gravy perfect (and veggie), menu sufficiently broad that you could eat here several times and always find something new and interesting. Note for southern softies like me; Holland's pies rather then the Pukka ones we get down south. I get that they're a northern thing but I had a couple on my most recent Blackpool visit, and Pukka would clean up here if more shops stocked them; they're much better.

Went for fish and chips here because it stood out as the biggest and busiest chippy on the prom so we assumed it would be the best (should have went with my gut instinct that 'pablo' couldn't make good fish and chips) staff had no customer service skills whatsoever and were quite rude. Fish was flat as a pancake and had brown bits all through it, struggled to share the chips with my toddlers cause they were all the scrap ends. The toilet is kept locked so you have to try and find a (unhelpful) member of staff to open it. We was hoping to have the fish and chips experience by the sea instead we were completely let down. Had much better chippy at home.

Came here for our first night in Blackpool after travelling for 4 hours on a train. It looked big and clean from the outside and had a reasonable priced special on the board outside so thought we'd give it a go, seriously wish we'd of kept walking. The place was clean, the tables were clean and staff were accommodating, that's why it gets a 2 star not a 1. The food is bad!!! Anorexic fish, never seen fish so thin in my life, stale around the edges bread, mediocre chips, cup for my tea had pink lipstick on and chipped all around the edge. If people are saying these are the best fish and chips they've ever had, I feel bad for them as they've obviously been denied decent chippies in their lives. Then to top it all off I couldn't even get any coke, a place called pablos with no coke... What's that all about??

Came here after arriving in Blackpool, we've never visited Blackpool before and therefore didn't know where to get fish and chips from. We decided on Pablo's restaurant close to our hotel. It was easily accessible with the pram and spacious inside. They had confectionery dispensers at the entrance and the minstrels looked older than the Queen. We sat and the food came in a good time. The bread to butter ratio wasn't good and only white bread too, plastic straws in a seaside town isn't good at all. The redemption comes in the mushy peas and chips, delicious! The fish was awful though, it was basically rubbish and flavourless batter with barley any fish, it was easier to eat like a sandwich. Very close to earning a 2 star but the chips and peas saved it, unfortunately I wouldn't eat here again.

Small fish (have caught bigger at the park) few chips and lashings upon lashings of funky coloured mushy peas. Oh and the bread for the special is already unwrapped, buttered and left under the till ready for orders.. the chicken steak was basically a chicken burger removed from the bun and slapped at the side of a few chips.. very disappointed in our visit. And seems most people in there are just looking for a convenient toilet to use which was clearly labelled for customers only but certainly dident apply.. will never stop here again.

Absolutely disgusting customer service. Never been treated so rudely by members of staff. We ordered food for the family, the bill must have come to around £40. Two of the young children in my family wanted subway because they’re not really a fan of this kind of food. They came in and sat with us and started eating their subs, for a large female staff member to scream at the kids shouting that they can’t eat those in here. So the children had to pack their sandwiches away and wait for the rest of the family to finish off their food. Fair enough if this is the rule- say it politely and ask people to wait to eat it until after they’ve left, but quite frankly they’re children and we had already bought £40 worth of food from this place. For the sake of good service, surely you’d just allow it. She was so loud and unnecessarily rude. Then followed another man to shout at us some more! All for a bloody subway sandwich!! It was extremely embarrassing and people were staring at us. Throughout this fiasco, they were refusing to give my cousin his food that he had just ordered and were shouting at him to leave!! Had my parents not already been sat down eating by this point, we would have left. No need for such behaviour. We are a respectable family and if this is how we treated our customers, we’d have none left. Avoid at all costs, no customer service and horrendous, rude, disgusting staff members. I’ll stick to Wetherspoons next time.

The best and my personal favourite spot for a good meal of fish and chips. The Pablo's special is around £8 and with that you get fish and chips with mushy peas and butter on bread and a drink. It's very filling and taste really good. The have an option for a few desserts if interested and also offer table service. Makes life a lot easier when visiting with children. They offer a kids menu as well. Give it a try and don't say I didn't tell you that it was a fabulous place to eat at.

We travelled to Blackpool today by coach on a trip out from a care home. I’d spotted Pablos on a trip the week earlier and thought it looked worth a try and easily accessible it did not disappoint! I rang ahead to try and place a large order however everything is made from scratch-perfect! The lady I spoke to assured me she would take care of our large order once we arrived and we wouldn’t wait long. True to her word it was freshly prepared and in no time and tasted delicious! Service was above and beyond they provided boxes for us to carry the food, plenty of condiments, napkins and forks and a bottle of vinegar free of charge! If your in Blackpool especially in a large group give this place a try! You can take away or eat in the restaurant! Thank you for helping our trip run smoothly Pablos see you again soon! X

After a day at the pleasure beach, we decided to stop for some food! After a disappointing meal we had in the Yorkshire fisheries the different was night and day! Hot chips, lovely battered fish not greasy! Highly recommend !

go in the left for takeaway and the right for eating in. Chips were ok and not the best I've ever had. Sausage in batter was nice though. Worth a try if you want.

Took our three kids for tea after a long day at the Pleasure Beach for some food. Had an okay meal. I’ve been coming annually since I was a child, first by my grandparents, bringing friends as a student and now with my family. It’s a treat I really look forward to as it brings back great memories. Sadly, I think this might be my last time as I witnessed a guy (presuming Pablo) being incredibly awful and degrading to a young member of staff in front of the whole restaurant. Myself, my husband and children were horrified and we sincerely hope the young girl is okay. I truly regret not tackling the guy (was tired and not fully in the game) at the time, as it was truly atrocious. Mind you, a good lesson for the kids in how never to treat people, regardless of who they are.

Visited here on a busy Saturday lunchtime for some classic fish and chips by the seaside. After a short wait, we ordered at the counter and paid promptly. I decided to try the special for £7.50 - fish, chips, soft drink, bread and butter. The fish was cooked well, if a little greasy. The chips were good and the bread and butter was standard. It is probably one of the better fish and chip shops in Blackpool and, for me, the best one around the south pier area of the town.

Expected the traditional flavour of fish and chips..what I got was very far from it. Cheap bread and marg...mushy peas resembling dog vomit and unpleasant tasting chips. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Expensive & Poor quality food, ended up taking ours back and asking for a refund, chips we're warm at best and still solid in the middle, sausage undercooked, fish undercooked and slimy batter. Both my stomach and the other halfs are turning and now got s***s haha. Cheers for that. Wouldn't reccomend to anyone. We passed 2 or 3 other chippys on the way. Should have gone there instead and I'd reccomend others do too.

This place was recommended by one of the tram conductors. Never having been to Blackpool before, we took him at his word. Pablo's did not disappoint. Had the fish and chips with mushy peas. It was a delicious meal! Right on the "main drag".

I am a local of Blackpool and on Sunday the 21st of April myself and my friend decided to get some food from Pablos. We bought our food from the takeaway section and planned to eat it outside but due to the level of litter scattered around the outside tables and bins (EXTREMELY UNHYGIENIC) we went to sit in the inside eating area as there were multiple tables and there were NO SIGNS saying you could not do this. We were eating for probably 10 minutes when the woman who served us from the takeaway section (I don’t know her name but she was short and middle aged) came bursting in and shouted at us to leave because we weren’t allowed to eat takeaway food in the restaurant. My friend told this woman that it was fine and we would sit outside but before she could even finish her sentence the woman shouted again ‘no, you need to get out right now’. We literally did not have 10 seconds to even collect up our belongings and get our food as this woman was rudely shouting at us in front of the whole restaurant. Therefore, I shall never be eating there again due to the complete lack of customer service skills the staff members seem to have, even though the food was actually quite nice.

Why do I like this place so much? I have certainly enjoyed better meals, better ambiance, well better everything really. Perhaps it’s the memories of being here as a child, I think that helps! Or perhaps it does exactly what it’s always done, first class fish, chips and mushy peas, And interesting people to watch!

Very very busy when we went. Downside was service was slow as they needed more staff on the tills, cooking was fine as the fish were piled up! Decent fish and chips, plenty of them and good price. Would go again.

After walking for what seemed miles we came across Pablo's. It was packed with diners and the queue was extremely long. To us that's a good sign. We found a table and went to order our food. Large portions, well prepared and cooked to perfection. 6 people for less than £40 ...excellent value.

We had fish and chips and they were delicious and cooked to order. The fish was coated in a very light batter and you could tell how fresh it was as it was so white. Staff were polite and helpful even though it was very busy.

Staff were so friendly, we came about 1pm and it was really quiet so got a seat and ordered straight away. Shared a full rotisserie chicken between two adults with some extra potatoes and gravy, a bit more expensive than two meals from burger king but worth it imo. The wait for food was about 10-15 minutes so not bad at all. Chicken was juicy and the gravy was very tasty - wish the portion of gravy was bigger but we did try to share one between two of us. Great find if you don’t want to eat a burger and chips like most other places at the park!

I was on my way to carch a train from Blackpool North station and decided to get something healthy to eat and spotted Subway. I am trying to make better choices at the moment so decided to have a salad. Unfortunately they do not have any cutlery so if I wanted to have this I woud have to use my fingers. Apparently they are in the process of switching from plastic to wooden cutlery but this is not available for them to purchase which is a bit of a mess up by the company. The staff were friendly and sympathetic to my dilemna but it was out of their hands. Fortunately the salad was excellent and had all the things in it I enjoy. I would have given them 5 stars had it not been for the lack of cutlery.
