Papa's Fish & Chips Skegness in East Lindsey - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Beautiful chips nice and fresh and plentiful thankyou Levi excellent service very attentive.Keep up the good work young man you will go far.

Lovely fresh fish and chips.restraunt and takeaway.seating area outside for takeaway. Pensioners 2 course inside, good value. Choice of fish size for pricing.

This was the third time that we have eaten here and it will definitely be the last. Our previous two times couldn’t be faulted but today’s visit was very disappointing. There was only one member of staff, a young girl, taking orders, pouring drinks, serving meals and taking payments. We ordered our food and she brought our drinks, but over half an hour later she brought our meal which was lukewarm with dry chips. It wasn’t particularly busy so I don’t understand why the food took so long and the buzzer, which I presume meant the food was ready to be served, was repeatedly ignored. Surely at 6 o’clock on a Saturday there should have been more staff and they should have been aware that people would be coming into the restaurant for food.

We went for a fish and chip takeaway for three people, the meal was terrible, the fish was over cooked, and tasted like it had been under a hot light for 2 hours. The chips were also overcooked, with about three quarters of them inedible, and having to be thrown away immediately, I would recommend one of the other chip shops in the town.

I went to Papa's fish and chip shop in Skegness today with friends from the Skegness branch of the MS Society. We had a table booked which was laid with menus and knives and forks. Levi was our server. He was attentive and helpful. He took our drinks order first and brought them straight away. The orders of food were brought over promptly and looked delicious. Everyone in our party said that they had enjoyed themselves. My large cod, chips and mushy peas were lovely, but I couldn't finish my chips. Sorry Levi. All in all a brilliant lunch and excellent service.

No staff stood at service desk was not seated found our own table as plenty free, still no staff waited for a menu to no avail.. got up and walked out.. other customers stood at service desk I can only presume to pay for their dinner date of visit 9/9/23 approx 17:00 hrs

Previously Papa's Skegness stood out for its excellent, freshly cooked fish and chips. I would say it was close to perfect. But something has happened to the standards. Today the batter of the fish was so soggy that it collapsed into the cardboard tray when the served picked it up. But the server presented it anyway, with an attitude of total indifference. Very disappointing.

Our various fish meals were absolutely fabulous. Special thanks to Audra and her wonderful staff for looking after us. Definitely re visit next time in Skegness.

Walked along the sea front and didn’t see many chop shops near by so thought I’d see if there was any down the main road. Saw the lovely welcoming restaurant and the young girl in the take away was smiley even though she had a long queue of people. Waited about 5 mins as she was busy and I didn’t mind Food was lovely and her service was brilliant. (P.S the girl was called Ella) Defo come again

Great service. Was there on a daytrip working for a charity which had set up a trip for homeless. Went in, in the morning and ordered and paid for 32 meals for later in the day. Levi was a star he looked after us and gave us a great service. When we got back to the coach and gave out the meals everything was spot on. Everyone enjoyed their food. Thank you Levi it could not of been easy setting all them meals up for us while still working the queue of other customers waiting to be served. We will be seeing you again, next year.

Don't waste your money here!!!!!!!! Ordered 3 meals, one being a senior special. Waited for drinks, tea came after 15 mins no milk. Went and asked for milk which took a further 10 mins to come. When order came it was wrong. Sent back correct meal came. Fish was same one as sent back so not hot. Garden peas like cannon balls. Senior special, no sponge and custard. Why was we not told on ordering. Manager took order and I did say to him about food. He offered pudding as order just come in. Too late now, 0 hospitality skills as a manager.

Food order was brought all wrong had to send it back garden peas were hard,no sponge and custard for seniors special meal deal overall a very poor experience .complained to manager in charge who had as much customer service skills as the fish on my plate .

Having eaten at Papas on Cleethorpes Pier on 19th August and posted a very bad review of our visit on Trip Advisor soon afterwards (which I hated having to do) I wanted to give Papas a chance to redeem themselves and hopefully earn a five star review this time when I and my ttwow sons visited their Skegness restaurant yesterday (August Bank Holiday Monday) and dined at an outside table upstairs. I am happy to report that the unlike those abominable and unusable toilets at Cleethorpes, the toilets here were clean and well maintained, and in contrast to the burnt and ruined fishermans pie I had at Cleethorpes I found the cod, chips and mushy peas here at Skegness to be very nice, and my sons were very pleased with their meals too. (But then again I perhaps had made an unwise choice of dish at Cleethorpes which was probably always more likely to go wrong than what I had at Skegness yesterday.) However what stops me giving Papas five stars this time is that our three meals took a very long time to arrive, finally being brought to the table at 14.08 according to my watch when the time it was ordered according to the bill was 13.13, and this was a few minutes after my son had gone to the bar to chase it up when we could see people who had sat down after us were already getting their meals. We wanted some dessert, but when I went to the bar there were other diners in front of me complaining about the long wait for their meals, and the member of staff at the till told me that they were no longer taking any orders for food because of "problems in the kitchen" We therefore left and went to the Jolly Fisherman on the sea front, where we all had a nice chocolate fudge cake and ice cream.

had scampi and chips says 10 pieces on menu recived 8 complained and got the missing scampi the chips tasted like they have been cooked in old oil (had to go and get an ice cream to take away the taste ) so dont bother in my opinion

Thought I would grab a bag of chips for a snack after hearing good reviews but was left disappointed firstly the young lady serving me didn’t seem too happy she slammed the chip box on the counter that hard chips jumped out which was a shame as there wasn’t many to start with which was my main complaint for the amount of chips I received they were overpriced at £2.49 but they were very nice if there had been a decent sized portion I would have given 5 stars.

used saturday evening for first time ever -had received good reports from others-so was dissapointed-chips were luke warm and semi hard- there was no queue (compared to other chippies close by) will not use again

We were served by a delightful lady who travelled to Skegness each day from Grimsby to work at the restaurant… we had the most amazing take out fish and chips, the large cod was cooked to perfection with the lightest batter (it was huge, enough...

The most superb, tasty fish n chips I have ever had. Quick, efficient and friendly service from Levi in a delightful atmosphere. I love the menu in the form of a newspaper with all sorts of historical anecdotes. The food (Haddock) was cooked to perfection...

Great to have another Papas branch at a popular tourist resort. Its so difficult finding halal fish and chips at a lot of resorts, and to make matters difficult, is also for coeliac patients. Always found Papas to be very accommodating of our needs, the...

Visited on a Monday evening in August, it was busy when we got there but it didn't take too long to get our food, which was very tasty. Very friendly staff, Lucy was extremely lovely and hardworking. Levi showed good managerial skills and was also...

We we're looking forward to a lovely meal here, as our local paper had given this place a rave review. Portion sizes were very generous. But the fish was mostly batter and tasted and looked old. Zero moisture to the fish. But the worst offending...

Gorgeous fish and chips. One of the nicest papas have been to. Manager was very friendly and apologised for slow service due to being short staffed

The best chips I’ve ever had! Not greasy and cooked to perfection 👌🏻 I’m a Vegan so it’s difficult to find a chip shop that caters for me and this one does. I had tofish and curry sauce with my chips and it was so...

Very good experience. Lady behind bar couldn't be more helpful . We sat inside We had chip shop platter and fried seafood platter. Very nice and good size portion.

The fish and chips were cold , another family left as this was totally unacceptable, this place has the potential to be lovely, but the management of it is poor generally. The saving grace was the member of staff ‘ Conrad’ who was very apologetic...

I went with group of 25 people, the management was very friendly and smiley. I went with a community group so we didn’t have much budget but the management did not make us feel uncomfortable and made extra efforts to Accommodate for us, have us...

Lovely food and very friendly staff . Especially the young man called Alex who served us he was lovely and polite and was excellent at serving us . Keep up the excellent work Alex

This restaurant is a beautiful hidden gem along the Skegness seafront. They present their menus on a newspaper which adds an original and individual feel to the place. There is plenty of choices on the menu, including all the standard choices from a fish and...

The restaurant looks inviting from the outside and is clean and nicely decorated inside. The menu is presented as a newspaper which is novel but that’s where the good points end. The prices are very expensive compared to other fish and chip restaurants in the...

Best part of this was the quality of the fish, the cod in oarticular. I’m told it’s fresh from Grimsby every day and it shows. It’s Skeggy going posh and looking at the people they looked like they belonged anywhere but Skeg but I’ve always...

Great food again and inside its really lovely. Needs a little bit of attention as to “what to do” when you get there as there aren’t many staff it seems. Do you just sit at a table or wait to be seated ? Food was...
