Papa's Fish and Chip Restaurant in West Lindsey

Although the food is good the reference to the bill on the receipt reference was "ginger sket biach" we will be forwarding this to the boss when they decided answer the phone as we sore this on our receipt after we got home .. my wife is very sad about this !!

Awful quality, had to pick about to try and find anything that wasn’t sub standard. I ordered a sausage with out batter, they waited until the other meals I ordered were dished up before telling me they had no sausages and nothing else prepared. Just awful

Wish I’d read the reviews! Unfortunately since reopening with new owners the fish and chips are awful. Only 2 staff on a Friday night so long wait. Tried to give me 1 mushy peas less than I ordered. Wish I’d let them as they were burnt. Fish was ok but batter was either rock hard or soggy. Won’t be going back

Popped in for a quick late lunch, how disappointing. The chips were only warm and had a horrible flavour. The fish was only warm too and the batter was soggy. We won’t be going again for a very long time, if ever 😞

Has gone down hill from what it used to be. Looked very short staffed tonight and sorry to say will be my last visit.

Cold peas, hard warmed up chips and fish smelled off. Car and house now smell worse than fish docks. Used to be lovely. Wont go again!

Been coming here for years for fantastic food. Recently under new management and it is now terrible. Poor quality oil being used (grease drips down the back of your throat) and what appeared to be frozen chips. This place is now a disgrace. Don't waste your money here. Lots of competition in the town.

Called in on my way home, (18:10) today and ordered Sausage chips and gravy, plus Steak Pie chips and gravy. When I got home discovered….. 1. The sausage was missing. 2. The chips were not fresh and tasted a bit like cardboard. 3. Lots of small chips, which were hard. 4. Gravy was overly thick Not a great experience, cannot recommend.

Worst fish and chips we have ever had. Chips seemed warmed up. Fish tasted old and batter still soggy on the inside. Last time I waste 17 quid at this place!! At least the dog was pleased we left the fish!!

Beautiful fish and chips Expensive but worth it Staff are so busy as it is always busy and all rush but friendly

A very quiet night in the Resturant but very tasty! The cod and chips were lovely as were the haddock and chips. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you for a very tasty meal.

I went here with my friend I’d always been told it was good I don’t live rd there but was in the area the menu was ok although I think from the pictures I’ve seen things must of changed since covid which is understandable but nevertheless I had fish n chips with curry n wow so fresh n tasty was dare I say fantastic best fish n chips I’ve had in a long long time n then we had get this a battered chocolate orange lol n it was great aswell to much for one person but so nice if ur in the area definitely try this one

The food is ok, if you can ever get there to have it. In the last year we have been around 8pm on six occasions. Each time we are informed in a rather bored fashion that they have switched the fryers off so there is no more food being cooked. This is in spite of their published hours being at least an hour later. Once or twice I could understand but it’s just ridiculous. Change your published hours if you aren’t going to actually trade them!

I use this Fish and Chip restaurant regularly and find the food and service very good. I prefer cod and I find the nice sized portions of cod a chips perfect. The cod is white and flakey and is always cooked to perfection. Gemma the waitress is always friendly and helpful, with a smile on her face. She is always ready to take my order and it is usually brought out quickly and piping hot. Thanks for brightening up my day.😃

Great gluten free fish and chips friendly staff Gemma is always polite and nothing is to much trouble pensioners special is great value for money would definitely recommend it

I cannot recommend this establishment enough. Food is always delicious, my delivery arrives on time all the time and Daniel Sean who works for Uber eats has always delivered on time, sometimes early. The food always arrive hot when he unzip the delivery bag, he is a very polite nice man and is a credit to you. Only ever had 1 bad delivery from here where I waited over an hour for the delivery and this was not this driver. Apart from that 10/10 for delivery and Excellent work Daniel

I had used this take away a few times when I moved to Lincolnshire about four years ago. It was not great but edible. I noticed that each time I visited the cooking of the food deteriorated. I vowed not to use this take away again, however, I thought I would give it one more try and I should have put my £15.00 in the bin. The chap behind the counter was short staffed and he was cooking and serving, however, this is no excuse. The chips were dry if I could call them chips more scraps and off cuts. It seems like they had been reheated. I asked for breaded cod as I knew he would cook it fresh and even this came out dark brown rather than golden. The fish was overlooked, chips dry even the steak and kidney pie that you cannot really make a mistake in cooking tasted like it had been sitting for hours in the cabin ate. Both my and my wife will never use this take away again as we could not get rid of the disgusting taste. We left three quarters of the food. The irony is that they promote themselves as having an award. Looking at the pictures on this review site I can tell you it was not what I was served. Note to Adam’s Bay’s managers please send in a mystery shopper and order a portion of your own food then tell me what you are serving is something you would be happy to pay for. Either you are using old oil or you need to change your chef. I cannot comment on the restaurant only the take away. And my advice is stay away!!!!!!

First time here and well impressed. Portions are huge and the price is very good. Staff and Service is good and the establishment clean. It's open 7 days a week aswell! Restaurant or Takeaway for your pleased. 5☆☆☆☆☆

I came in today to enjoy gluten free fish and chips with my family seeing as it's clearly advertised that you're the only fish and chip restaurant to offer a gluten free menu in the area. Suprise suprise, as we sit down and are brought...

Takeaways from here so hit and miss but after 3 bad ones in a row I give up and its never again. Everything was undercooked and to be honest horrid,and its pretty expensive too. Definitely not recommend

Had a takeaway two nights ago was disgusting food was rubbery and was clear it had been held for a long time and they just couldn’t be bothered to cook fresh as it was the end of the day first and last time of using...

Visit there often, last time tried take away plaice and it was huge, even split between my partner and myself it was a bit too much. Loads of well fried chips and the tempura prawns are well worth a try

Really excellent fish and chips served by friendly helpful staff. I have to be "dairy free" and when I contacted Adam's Bay before booking, they couldn't have been more helpful and sent a full ingredients list. We chose to share a starter - a spectacular...

Perfect. Lovely food, lovely staff and I've never seen such a huge portion of chips as we got when we ordered a large portion. We'll definitely be back if we're in the area again.

Late dinner, large haddock and chips with curry sauce, great food, hot and fresh, fish had great batter, great service as well

Not sure it deserves its no 1 rating, visited to collect tea for the 4 of us and ended up with 4 pieces of fish that didnt have a great deal of flesh and a sprinkling of chips in each box. With two curry sauces...

After Getting Fish And Chips From Here Over A Year And Half Ago.. My Gut Was Not Happy At All,Chips Were Really Greasy And Fish Was Abit Slimey Inside. Gave The Benefit Of The Doubt And Recently Tried Again,Curry Was Spot On And The Fish...

We had the £18.40 special and to be honest the best fish and chips we've had in years that good we traveled 40 miles back the next week . Great staff the best chips and value for money any where keep it up

Give it a miss ,the Fish ,etc no problems its the chips .they are hard cold manky ,they did in prove ,but they have gone back to being disgusting, They say its a good place .yes for passing trade who most likey will not return .locals use Middies just down the rd on Trinity street .Or Johnsons .Adams Bay i would not even take the most hated Enemy for a meal there .On second thoughts i would buy the fish .and go to Lidi get the cheapest chips ,and cook them ,than go back to Adam's bay .

They'd rather lose a family of 4s order of nearly £30.... over a forgotten large sausages from the previous weeks order.....not "policy" apparently to honour there mistake....because we're all liars and trying to con them I was told . So if you get home and are missing items...you have to phone up and go back and get it....hope you dont live 13miles away like us though..Think if I was going to con them i would have chose something more expensive than a sausage

The food here is unbeatable! Fantastic range, cooked in beef dripping! The tastiest fish and chips around! Great service and friendly staff.

I enjoy their fish and chips , clean shop, friendly staff. Not my first choice but still good food !

Take Away , They have stayed open during this pandemic & keeping the customers safe , Fish & Chips , absolutely lovely!!! X

Due to COVID-19 we collected our takeaway instead of dining in the restaurant. Adams Bay never fails to disappoint. Lovely food and staff. Highly recommend.

Had cod and chips takeaway the other day, couldn’t manage it all. Fantastic value for money! Staff are friendly and efficient. 5 stars *****

Had take away fish and chips tonight very disappointed mostly batter and very little fish and for the price not good

I cant reccomend Adam's bay highly enough. The staff (especially Chris and Becky) were amazing, super polite, friendly and couldnt do enough for us.I have a gluten allergy so it was fantastic for me to have GF fish and chips which were huge and absolutely delicious! I was very pleasantly surprised to see they also offered GF desserts like Chocolate fudge cake, sticky toffee pudding and my favourite Apple and cinnamon crumble and custard (which was amazing).We travelled from Surrey (4hrs away) and knew we had to visit Adam's bay as we dont have anything like it near us (and certainly nothing that offers Gluten free) and I can definitely say - it was 100% worth the journey! Whenever we are next in Gainsborough we will be back here for sure, infact I'm going to pop back tomorrow for takeaway GF fish and chips before we go back to Surrey

Take away food, halumi burger and chips Fresh and tasty with generous portions Always hot and fresh, often cooked to order

Very disappointed this time, as on previous visit we had a lovely meal. I'm sad to say who ever was in the kitchen didn't care the oil in the frier was dark brown (well over a week old to get that colour, and horrible taste). The cod batter wasn't drained of oil. obvious on the white plate, as was the unpleasant taste. Weird dry chips, just sad that a simple meal was so poorly made. My partners fish was very thin (even though it was supposed to be a large). Didn't eat the meal! Didn't complain in the restaurant, as my partner found it uncomfortable to do so. We will not be going back after paying £29, to ad insult to injury.

Family of 5 visited Adams Bay in Gainsborough, the welcome was lovely and the service was professional and friendly, Carla and Chris was so very helpful and nothing was to much trouble, we will definitely be visiting again

This place is brilliant. Staff amazing and lovely. The girls were great and I second a comment by someone else on here about the lad ear piercings. They were so friendly. The food Amazing. The choice fabulous and the cheesecake best I’ve had. It was my birthday too. We will be back!

Our first visit here for tea tonight, I had the gluten free fish, chips, mushy peas and homemade onion rings,they were absolutely delicious.the menu is such a variety that it would please everyone in your group.from steaks,to Currys,to salads,to marinated chicken. The staff are excellent,and nothing was to much trouble..the restaurant was bright clean and welcoming.i highly recommend a visit. We shall definitely be back..check out there gluten free desserts too.x

Called in Restaurant but on Sunday me other half and one of the kids, place was a bomb site managed to get a table, young lad served us 10/10 polite and on his Todd !! He was serving and making drinks, hosting and everything else bar the frying from what we had seen, he was a real nice lad and deserves a pay rise didn’t get his name but has black ear piercings food was great and service was excellent and considering he was on his own never stopped smiling well done son !

Having left the house at six in the morning and travelling 220 miles to stay in the area, we were tired by dinner time. We thought we would make the most of being able to get takeaway delivered (can’t get this where we live) placing an order and following its progress on screen, we were gutted to see the order had been cancelled!! Now being ravenously hungry we decided to head out and find food!! I had found Adam’s Bay on Facebook and we headed straight there. Managed to park very easily in the good sized car park and we headed for the door of the restaurant rather than the take away. We were met by the very friendly Emily and found a table. The restaurant was very clean and the decor tasteful. Our order came in good time and was really tasty, with ample sized portions. When finished we decided to order dessert and chose the battered mars bar which was also recommended by the diners on a nearby table. Having been curious about this delicacy for many years I now feel enlightened! It was delicious! The service provided by Emily and Chris throughout our visit was faultless and really welcoming! We will definitely be back next time we visit the area! Thank you for saving the 23rd anniversary of our first date!

Always a pleasure to go here. piping hot food cooked to order in pleasant surroundings and serviced by friendly team. always top quality....food, serve and ambiance. Long may it stay just as it is.

This was our third visit to Adam's Bay & like the previous visits, the Fish & Chips were superb. I had the large cod which was enormous!!!!! The staff were all very friendly & helpful and it was a pleasure to meet one of the owners - Helena. Besides the delicious fish & chips, we must recommend the Creme Egg Sundae - a must have dessert!!!!!

Been wanting to try this place for a while now , we called in on our way back from buying a car. We were welcomed by a young man (didn’t catch his name) he was very friendly and served us promptly. Our food was AMAZING! Being on SlimmingWorld options are normally limited and boring but I had grilled Cod , salad and a jacket and was so tasty . Already planning on returning

Family visit on a late Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was quiet but still took quite a while to have our order taken... Then when our food arrived it was wrong and things were missing. Quite expensive considering the taste was just average nothing special.

We visited as a family for my mums 91st birthday gift as she loves fish & chips and my son had heard good things about this place, we were not disappointed! Lovely clean place ,great staff especially Chris our server who was great with my mum. As for the fish & chips they were lovely, great chips and very light crispy batter on the fish we will definitely return.

I can’t believe the bull I have just been given by the takeaway staff. I am sat outside contemplating how to put this into words, but here goes.

Amazing food, tastes great, would definitely go back and would definitely recommend going here. Really nice staff aswell

Adams bay is a very good restaurant with a wide choice menu you can choose from the fish menu or the grill menu they also have seniors choice. all the meals are good value for money and well presented. The staff are very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. I would recommed anyone give adams bat a try

After seeing all the local press about the battered Terrys Chocolate Orange we had to try this place. And we were not disappointed. We were greeted at the door by a lovely member of staff who showed us to our table. I am not a fan of fish and chips so I was happy to find they sell other dishes and ordered the chicken pieces. When my dish arrived I was amazed at how much chicken was on my plate!!! My husband and eldest both had fish and chips and the fish was massive!!! The restaurant must be owned by a family with kids as they look after the little ones with their menu options and the prices are very reasonable. Service was spot on. Drinks were replenished promptly. We all left space for dessert as that was the reason we went and OMG what a treat!!! Words do

This family run business is a gem in Gainsborough. I often come here with my family, as it caters for everyone. My daughter is now vegan- so the falafel options and vegan curry are right up her street.

Visited Adam's Bay on a number of occassions, it's always great. Excellent service and great food.

Another fabulous visit! Freshly cooked food was delicious and plenty to choose from, staff are welcoming, friendly and go out of their way to help. Another family meal that we all enjoyed!

Fab restaurant and great family food! Worth a visit! Staff are friendly, atmosphere relaxed and I thought good value for money. 😊

We have tried the sit in restaurant on 3 occasions now the 1st was a success although it was dead we had to chase staff to at least take drink orders let alone food, but on this occasion when food did arrive it was very nice hence our return, 2nd visit burger was dry and tough drinks cold and sides had literally been shown water not cooked, we thought maybe the chef had had an off day abd gave the sit in restaurant a 3rd chance, again it was dead and again we had to chase staff to not only take drinks orders but to point out there was a queue waiting to be seated, the food on this occasion diabolical that bad my son actually threw his back up within minutes of eating it, hot drinks again cold and food took ages to arrive, I think this restaurant needs to employ more staff or maybe retrain the ones it has, they seem pleasant enough but very lack luster this may explain now why the restaurant itself is always dead with people choosing take away instead, personally I think the food is extremely over priced for what you get and the quality, microwaving food is just not acceptable full stop, retrain staff, serve better food, don't keep customers waiting ages and don't get an attitude when asked to take order, cook it fresh and then you will get your what was once good reputation back at the moment its rapidly going down hill won't be returning obviously

A birthday tea with my brother last night and unexpectedly the birthday boy's meal was free - fantastic! We both had huge haddocks which were PERFECT. Also perfect service from Beth our waitress (great job on a quiet night Beth - thankyou!)Lots of variety on the menu but even better than that GLUTEN FREE FISH N CHIPS are available - that's a REALLY big deal as its the Holy Grail of Gluten free food. Go there, now - especially if its your birthday and you like a choclate orange!

I have visited this fish and chip location many times and had excellent value and service at the take away,, yesterday I decided to sit in the restaurant. What a disappointment. There were 4 customers in when I arrived and seated, the staff were pleasant and soon took the order, unfortunately it took over 20 minutes for the food to appear, the tea had by then gone luke warm and the bread had started to dry. I thought they had gone to Grimsby to get the fish and said so.

Great whitebait, fantastic haddock, only disappointment was that I was too full to go for the deep fried chocolate orange!

Called in today for regular cod and chips, got back to the car, fish was looking past its best, warm clumpy batter, not best tasting fish either chips were clearly not fresh pale and look warm just not great cost me over £7 felt robbed, this was at lunchtime 12.30 approx so the height of service and one would hope product quality but far from it, had couple bad experiences here but time to draw a line hence be doing the review been enough times to realise what I have experienced clearly is not a one off much much better chippys around take a wide steer from this one

I recently went to Adams Bay and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff are friendly and welcoming and the menu is really varied which is great.

I visited Adams Bay with very low expectations but we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was extremely well cooked, light crispy batter and good fresh fish in the restaurant. In our experience the restaurant is far better than the takeaway.

Hi I visited your restaurant this evening with my husband and son , we were very impressed with the food especially all fish and chips.

We came here after visiting a family member in hospital. I have to say the food was lovely and the staff very friendly. The only small gripe was that the scraps needed draining but all in all we really enjoyed our food. Thankyou 😊

The staff and owner are very friendly and helpful; the food is very good - today I had seafood spring rolls, haddock and chips and chocolate orange icecream - delicious. I will definitely go again

Visited the restaurant from Grimsby for a meal with my sister and had read the reviews about gluten free food which my husband required being Coeliac. He was not disappointed - the batter was lovely and golden and basically the same as 'normal' batter. In other restaurants the batter for fish can often be very pale and anaemic. We were all pleased with the choice of food and the options for gluten free. All the food was lovely and the service very good. We look forward to re-visiting when coming to Gainsborough.

Best chippy in Gainsborough!!! They have a restaurant and separate take away. Always have a good selection. Not the cheapest but well worth it!!! Very friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent food and service. Chris and Kerry were fantastic hosts and looked after us superbly thank you. Looking forward to our next visit .

Amazing fish and chips has a wide variety of different foods such as steak which is brilliant!! Would definitely come here again

Went with a group of friends for a meal last Monday evening. Had a very nice meal of chicken curry with rice and chips. There was plenty of food - couldn't eat it all! Service was very quick. Would highly recommend going there for a meal

Fab restaurant..all guests enjoyed meals and I loved my battered mushy peas!!! My 6 year old son wants to come back for his birthday! Staff very helpful..look forward to the next visit!

called for a meal with my wife but whilst the restaurant was quiet the waitress just about got everything wrong...

Great night. Ladies work night out.. Lots of options for everyone, including the veggies and vegans.. The food and service were great. Everyone should visit x

Visited with 12 of my work friends. Absolutely brilliant as always. Bonus now as fish and chips can be served gluten free. Delicious.... the batter was crisp and light can highly recommend ❤️

I have always rated Adams Bay highly but tonight was really disappointed ..the regular fish was tiny , the chips were cold and 2 cod and chips and mushy peas to takeaway were 14.40!! Which is fine when you were getting a decent size fish which was hot ....not happy at all

After hearing some good reviews about Adam's Bay we decided we would give it a try. There is a takeaway section but we decided to sit down in the restaurant and eat. Upon walking in we were greeted by very friendly staff and shown to our table. The restaurant itself was very pleasant and clean. There was lots of choice on the menu but we decided on fish and chips. It didn't take long for our food to arrive and the portions were very generous. I'll be honest I was just expecting standard fish and chips you normally get in restaurants away from coastal areas but the fish was gorgeous and one of the thickest pieces of cod I think I've had anywhere. The chips were really nice too. We were all very full after the meal and was a struggle to eat it all but we had to order their famous battered chocolate orange. It was very yummy and worth a try. I would definitely recommend visiting and I will definitely be back for more.

Myself and a friend had the baby fish, they got the name right,more like a large fish finger, never had a problem before, i guess that's why the take away was empty

Had the opportunity to try the new addition to the Christmas menu. The Christmas tree onion ring tower looked great and didn’t disappoint. Best onion rings I have ever tasted!

Mid evening meal with friends All had fish and chips My large haddock was great with chips and curry sauce Great food and service s usual Good menu for main courses and deserts

Just had lunch here and were impressed with the place. Nice atmosphere, relaxed and its always good to see the staff and customers smiling! We both chose from the burger menu, my Partner loved the one with pepperoni and I had the chicken burger. Both were cooked really well, and we enjoyed our lunch. I picked up a loyalty card on the way out....I needn't say more! :)

The restaurant may not be in the nicest location , but it’s modern and well laid out. The food was good with lots of choice and large portions if that’s what you like.

After a trip out with our 94yrs old friend we called in here for meal. We all had the fish & chips which we all enjoyed. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Beth in particular was very helpful. Will revisit soon

Had a fantastic meal just now ,Andrew knew my hubby from gym came over and had a chat really good welcome .Had a drink on house with being our anniversary.Fish was cooked beautifully batter to die for .Deep fried chocolate orange was amazing with ice cream .The waiter who served us was lovely .Will be back for Alan's birthday soon .Been a few times first time since revamp is lovely clean and modern .

Had a really good lunch today, food was delicious and good portions. Staff were really helpful, will visit again!

after me and my mum visited our buddhist friends for our last meeting of the year, we went to adams bay which was booked, after we arrived at adams bay jade showed us to our reserved table, and we ordered small fish n chip portion with pot of curry sauce & mushy peas, mum had g'n't followed by glass of wine and I had coke as I was driving, then we had dessert, mum had 2 scooped ice cream and I had waffle with mint chip ice cream and squirty cream mmm, the food was spot on & delicious and even jade & clarey took time out to chat with us as per usual, adams bay is deff the best fish n chip shop in g/borough and deserves too win an award, and the management deserve reconigtion for running a clean & friendly restaurant and staff.

Tried Adam's Bay because we had heard how good it was. We were not disappointed. There is plenty of parking, but the car park is on a slope, and a little tight to get around.

Had Lunch here today nice decor, great service the waitresses were very helpful and friendly and the food was very tasty. Thank you 🙂

Friendly staff, Beth and Jess were very attentive. Modern clean decor and clean ground floor facilities. Food was delicious. Seafood platter was all battered but there are grilled options on menu. They are licensed too. Child friendly with great desserts and good coffees and milkshakes. Prices very reasonable

Visited on Monday with my 4 friends and 7 kids for my birthday tea, the staff where brilliant, very attentive and the food was amazing.

Best Fish & Chips I have eaten and I am a bit of a specialist on this food. But there is much more on the menu all of which is great. Very clean, friendly staff and quick service a great place to eat.

I went with my friends and our kids to have lunch and I must say it was lovely experience.stuffs are top friendly,very nice and clean surroundings, excellent food and childfriendly. Definitely recommended.

We called in here almost ‘on speck’ (although I had looked at some previous reviews as a precaution) and were greeted by the sight of 30 young children with teachers just finishing off on their ‘end of term treat’. It was a bit noisy but a ‘happy noise’ and the staff member who greeted us explained that the large group were just finishing off. It would not have put us off but they did all leave after a few minutes- leaving a more sedate atmosphere with nice background music - just at the right level.

I went with some colleagues for a meal. The food was excellent, well priced and I think the staff were excellent- thank heavens they had a sense of humour. Special mention to Chris and Beth for being so helpful.

This has to be the best restaurant in the gainsborough area.
