Staff okay but not around much always in the back food was rubbish and cold portions are shockingly bad then chips where terrible not what I'd expected for the price atmosphere was okay but old decor makes it dark and if get food one the menus you can't see anything as made out of newspaper.

If you are from NZ or Australia, do NOT order the whitebait. It is sardines cut in half, coated in flour then deep fried. Salad never arrived. My polite complaint was met with 'do you want a free desert, take it or leave it'. I left it as didn't fancy ordering ice cream to get a glass of mill with a couple of ice cubes floating it lol.

Whenever we go to Blackpool, we eat at Papa's. The fish and chips are excellent, as are their other menu items. The portions are more than generous. The desserts are delicious. Service is very good. The last time we went, Caroline and Paulo were extremely helpful and friendly.

The staff member at the bar was spot on, really nice guy so it's such a shame the food was really bad. Worst chips I've ever had by a long way. They were inedible and we complained, got a replacement and there was a huge hair on the plate (see photos). Real shame because we so wanted to like it here, you can see the potential where it could be great. But how can you operate a fish and chip shop with such bad chips? They were so so greasy and hard.. If you value your health, I would avoid at all costs. Hope they learn and improve.

Just under a tenner for a small sausage chips, peas and gravy. The smallest portion in the world, I thought they gave me a child's portion at first. The gravy is like jelly, horrible chippy. Loads of black bits all over the chips as well

Absolutely dreadful.. We were initially super excited when we spotted a Papas in Blackpool, as we had been to the one in Cleethorpes and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, they were the same only in name. For a start, it's very expensive. Almost £40 for 2 mains and 2 drinks. I wouldn't have minded paying this had the food been good, but it was absolutely rubbish. It took a solid 30 minutes to get (most of) our food - I ordered the chippy platter which is supposed to come with a sausage, which was unfortunately not delivered until after I'd finished the rest of the meal. The chips were way way overcooked but also somehow cold (!) - the fish was ok but was really small. The sausage (when it arrived) was pretty bland and generally not very nice. The salmon skewers left a lot to the imagination, and continuing the theme of forgotten food, we had to request the side salad. The service was shocking. The girl who greeted us at the door and sat us was great, but then it was downhill. I had to order at the bar, when I got to the bar I stood for about 10 minutes (I was the only one there) waiting for the guy to finish pouring drinks before he decided to serve me. The guy running the food also seemed pretty disinterested in his job. Overall a poor experience, definitely nothing on the Cleethorpes one! Next time will try Harry Ramsdens...

You may say the 1 star reviews are poor, but been truthful and honest it’s a disaster of a place in Blackpool. The skate was so thick and unbreakable in batter we returned the first one, the second no better and was left after complaining to the manager. Hull paties obviously don’t travel as they are not Hull paties, they may attempt the filling but the fact they are under cooked and powdery is very sad, more like cricket balls as the first one sent back as black inside from over cooking. 5 meals ordered in a 70% empty restaurant should not create carnage of a dining experience, 3 Fish specials, 1 skate and a Pattie and peas!!! Well 2 specials no sausage, as were coming we were informed. No sides brought with the first 2 meals out after the skate and 1 special returned as unacceptable. Manager apologised but honestly go at your peril, I don’t know what’s happened to the place but we won’t be back.

Very disappointed! Been afew times now because it was nice but never again. It was dinner time at the weekend with 8 people in maximum.after waiting 35 minutes and watching 3 people leave due to poor food ours came. My Mum's fish was cold and had to return it. My partners said her prawn salad wasn't nice and left over half. My fish was awful it was rubbery and the chips were very dark with burnt bits and also tasted terrible. Clearly it was old burnt oil used. I'm home now and have terrible belly ache and I can't get rid of that awful oil taste. We drove over 50 miles to it and spent over £60 I don't do reviews but felt like I needed to let other people know. Upon leaving even the manager admitted the place has gone down hill after telling him about our experience. Never again 🤮

Terrible experience having a family meal here. Adults food arrived before the children’s food. One meal stone cold and sent back, the return item was just batter, side dishes of peas turned up when meal was eaten. We complained and got offered free deserts and drinks, we didn’t want more food. I just polity asked them to refund the 1 meal that was replace twice and didn’t get eaten. They refused!! The manager wouldn’t come and talk to us about it and said he was too busy. I have even emailed the company twice and had no reply. If you’re reading this, do yourself a massive favour and got the chip shop instead 👍

Service was good and friendly but below average fish and chips. Family lunch out, two adults and two hungry teenagers. Cost £60. Batter was very thick, not cooked all the way through which soaked up the fat leaving a greasy taste. Chips were lukewarm as was the the curry sauce. My always hungry teenagers boys only managed half their meals, which speak volumes. Don’t be fooled by the “Britains best fish and chips”. It appears those days are over. Won’t be returning.

Absolutely disgusting. We have eaten at Papas multiple times, at your sites in different parts of the country including the blackpool one. We waited 35 minutes in a not very busy restaurant for our food. I ordered gluten free, My partner ordered a normal fish and chips. When it arrived the chips on the normal were covered in black burnt bits, but the fish is fine. The gluten free fish arrived a dark brown colour and tasted burnt. It’s never been like this before. I told the waitress who just smirked at me and took it away. A young waiter brought it back a minute after with the fish all broken up trying to put it back down telling me thats how the gluten free should be. I asked for a refund, and was told no but I could have a voucher to come back another time. I said thats not good enough as I am not able to eat something that I have paid for. The young man walked off and I was stood waiting a while at the bar for another member of staff. He was reluctant to give a refund, initially saying thats how it should be. He then said it was because they have old oil that needs to be used, and then blamed the chef for being new and not knowing how long to cook things for. He said they would remake it and that it wouldn’t be burnt like what had just been served. A minute later he came back and said could I have grilled fish instead, I said no I wanted what I had ordered or a refund. After sitting for another 20 minutes, another fish was brought out equally as burnt. The batter has such a bitter aftertaste and is dark brown and I had my partner try some who agreed. It’s clear the problem is the oil is old, which is causing the burnt taste and oily texture. For some reason the food was served in a bowl and had a large amount of oil sat in the bottom of the bowl. Again, on complaining I could this time hear the kitchen shouting about it when the waiter took it back. So now, we have been sat in the restaurant over an hour and have had no food. Eventually they agreed to give me a refund - minus the drinks! So we had to sit and wait 15 minutes for our drinks to be brought over, we didn’t even drink half of them and we have to leave because the food is unacceptable and the man refused to refund the drinks! We then had to sit and finish our drinks before we could leave. Its New Years day and now we need to go somewhere else to actually get some food.

It was Gluten free and that is the main reason we went. The food was edible but it was very greasy and well done. I think the oil needed changing. Otherwise a nice place. Order off a news paper , right by the sea. Plenty of space, order at the bar

Having just read very recent reviews, I wonder if we ate at same establishment! We were prepared to wait approximately 30 minutes due to oven breakdown. When the food finally arrived some 45 minutes late it was served in pasta dishes. Some of the chips were hot the majority warm as was the fish. The amount of batter on the fish must have been 2 inches thick, the mushy peas looked like a bowl of green slop, dripping over one side of the stainless steel ice cream/ prawn cocktail dish. On a more positive note the older lady who led us to our table was doing her best despite the long waiting time. Incidentally, it wasn't busy, no queuing and plenty of vacant tables ( 5pm) As for PAPA'S SECRET batter recipe was he taught by Colonel Sanders?! 1st and last visit, two very disappointed customer's

Arrived at 17.15 to be told there would be a 30 minute wait due to one of the ovens breaking down. Waited 35 minutes , unfortunately the food definitely wasn't worth the wait. The fish & chips were served in a pasta bowl, the mushy peas looked like they'd been.slopped into the dish, hanging over one side. Some chips were hot, the majority were warm the fish was cold. Very very disappointed 1st and last visit.

So rude! Website said no need to book, when we went in we were told you had to have a booking. When I explained we had tried. She just said you should have booked. Throughout the whole time she glared at me as if we had done something wrong. I felt like a child being told off. Please update your website if you want people to book. And train your staff on customer service, there are ways to talk to customers that do not mean they leave feeling like crap!

Tried to make a booking online but there site was down, Walked in to be turned away for having no booking which I accepted, The issue i have is how rude the young girl [manager] was to us and othe customers also wanting a table, she said we could come back and try in half an hour however she would not take our booking and showed us the door. Thankfully there are plenty of decent fish and chip shops in the area who are very welcoming.

Got seated more or less straight away as it wasn’t too busy. Food was okay but the service just ruined it. We waited 20 minutes before I went up and collected our drinks off the bar as no one seemed interested in bringing them over. When the mains came it took 3 trips back and fourth to our table to bring us cutlery, sauces and spare plates (which were absolutely freezing) not sure why these couldn’t have just all been brought at once. It did feel like there were enough staff to accommodate the level of customers, so it was very disappointing. We visit Blackpool every year and this will be the last year for papas unfortunately. Maybe we were just unlucky with this experience!

Nice atmosphere but certainly not the best fish and chips as they claim. Batter was pretty good on the fish but the chips were lukewarm and chewy. I get chips 100 times better from a local kebab van. The beef burger we ordered was missing all the salad listed on the menu. The side-salad was also missing egg and dressing. Service was ok but you have to get up and wait in line to order at the bar after being taken to a seat.

Seated very quickly and food came out within a reasonable time. Chips were pretty average but saved by the curry sauce and gravy. Gravy was excellent consistency and some of the best curry sauce I've had at a chippy. Staff were fairly inexperienced and a wee bit inattentive, no check back on food etc. Tried the deep fried mars bar for dessert - a nice novelty but I don't think their batter and ice cream are a good mix! Would certainly give it a go if in the area (and I'll try and steal that curry sauce recipe) but my local still takes 1st place 🙏

We came pass by chance and saw a plaque that it won BBCs best takeaway in Britain plaque, so went in. And I can totally see why! I had the best fish and chips in my life (and trust me, I’ve had many). The chips were so nice but in a not too greasy way, the batter was light and crispy and the fish, so fresh. The person who served me was wonderful too, he’s name was Darren, but I also spoke to a Coffey waitress. Everyone was very warm and welcoming, perfect combination to brilliant food.

NEVER visit this business, had a look through the pass whilst going to the disabled toikets and notices that every side (curry, gravy peas and beans”) were straight out a tin and into the microwave yet still came out cold. gosh and chips and sausage from frozen not fresh like they claim. upon walking to disabled toilets had a peek in the staff room, extremely dirty flies covering every inch of the wall aswell as it stinking of god knows what. they also fired a really hard worker called jasmine and i think they ought to think on what they have done it was a stupid decision for no reason, they also treated another past worker horribly always shouting at her when she was only learning. In conclusion NEVER COME HERE EVER

Second visit to this restaurant. Best fish and chips in town. We were greeted at the door by Darren (Daz). Very friendly and welcoming. We all had haddock and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked with crispy batter and moist fish. The chips were delicious too. We shared a portion of mushy peas and curry sauce. Which was to die for. Tasted like the curry sauce I remember as a child. Washed down with a very reasonably priced bottle of Pinot Grigio. Our waiter Cody was efficient and friendly. Took the time to make sure everything was OK and engaged in a brief chat. Daz also came over to chat and ask how our visit to Blackpool was going. A very pleasant experience, enhanced by two very pleasant staff. Would highly recommend.

Website states you don’t need a reservation, but can call to reserve if you wish. Called multiple times & no response. Walked up on the evening instead, to be told that we couldn’t take a walk-in table, because they were setting up for reservations. When I explained that the phone wasn’t answered all day, was advised that the phone ‘is broken & has been for a while’. We were then told we couldn’t just wait for a walk-in table, because all tables were reserved.

We went on a Wednesday evening on the strength of good reviews. It was busy (always a good sign) and we were advised of a wait of about 30 mins for food. No probs so we settled down with a nice pinot from the bar. Unfortunately the food did not live up to expectations. The seafood platter was Ok but the calamari was tough and the dish was overwhelmed with salad leaves and rather slimy cucumber. Fish and chips was a generous size and the haddock was terrific. However the chips were not fresh and lukewarm. We should have sent them back but the fish was good. The children’s fish and chips were the same but the portion size was almost too big for a 7-year old. Food was served without cutlery or condiments which we had to ask for. There was nothing that deserved making a fuss but overall, it was a bit disappointing as most reviews have been good.

They claim to be the Best Fish & Chips in Btitain - they definitely aren't that. They aren't the worst either, but I'd say a little under average. The scampi was better than the haddock, the chips were okay. The service was quite slow for a chippy and there were loads of dirty plates on tables, with nobody clearing them up. I'd not go again tbh.

One of the best Fish and chip restaurants we have been to. From the time we stepped inside the staff could not be better. All so friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. We had some of the best Fish and chips we have ever had. Can strongly recommend a visit. I am sure you won't be disappointed. Thank you to Darren and all the staff for a wonderful eating experience.

First time visiting and it won't be the last. Service was slow but this was due to the school holidays and illuminations, so did allow for this. Tasty food and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Food was excellent and service was great. My waitress was called Jasmine and she was very attentive and ensured we had the best experience there.

Staff are great - friendly and helpful. Food is good. But I could never go again on a day out - I can't justify losing all that time between ordering and the food finally arriving - we waited nearly an hour. Yes, the food was nice but not "wow this is so good it was worth the wait.". There's something wrong with the logistics of this place because the staff were working really hard continuously and doing their best to get food to customers as fast as possible.

Myself and my family travelled from Birmingham on 5th October and we had a meal booked at 6.30pm, on arrival there were big queues outside however we were seated for our booking. We ordered quickly as we are aware that the wait can be a while and the fireworks were on at 8.30pm which we had travelled to see. The food was brought to the table around 8.10pm which we felt was a long wait, the sides we ordered with the food came out 10 mins after the meals and my husbands meal of fish, parsley sauce, garden peas and chips arrived and it looked dreadful, dry baked up fish, no peas or sauce, the meal was placed on the table and we were told they had no parsley sauce or garden peas! We refused this meal and said the value for money was dreadful at almost £17 for this meal, we asked for a refund, I had to chase the manager around the restaurant to get a refund and was told on several occasions I would have to provide my email address to obtain a refund which I refused. After lots of discussion I eventually got a refund for that meal. I would not attend there again, it is not the first time we’ve been and can’t quite understand why people rave for this place, food is average fish and chips which you could get in any fish and chip shop, wait is horrendous, staff organisation and friendliness is not great either. Overall not a good experience in my view, this also made us miss the fireworks due to the manager not sorting out the refund promptly!

Don't go if you are hungry, no urgency in serving people, more staff needed perhaps

Best Tomahawk I’ve ever eaten! The fact that it comes out on a hot stone and you can cook it in your own time to your own liking is just amazing! Really good quality meat, well seasoned and easy to cut. We both had one and really enjoyed them! Looking forward to trying other items on the menu when we visit again. Super friendly staff too.

Visited a week ago and going back again today. I have been looking for a good chippy since we moved to the N.W. from N.E. England where there are lots of food fish shops so it is nice to finally find a good one after trying lots in the area. Service was great and friendly. Food was excellent. Please ignore the negative reviews from months/years ago. I will review again after we visit tonight.

Well what can I say, after hunting around for a bite to eat the four of us stumbled on Finesse Fish and Chips. We ordered the medium and large fish chips and mushy peas. The fish was fresh and cooked in front of us and was bigger than the plate . The fish was flakey delicious and the chips were spot on . Do not hesitate to go to Finesse and the owner(I think) was friendly helpful and professional. Thank you and will definitely be back .
