Papa's Traditional Fish And Chip Takeaway in Bassetlaw

For the first time ever tonight I was Very disappointed with my Haddock, the fish was grey and didn’t taste right the batter was hard . After many many years of using Pappas I shan’t be back .

Great chips, seasoned well and fish was brilliant

Banging chippy....would recommend it to anyone. Great value for money 💰

Told would be a 15 miniute wait , it was 28 minutes , lots people who came after got thier food before me was told had to wait for cod but many people who came after me had cod and was served and gone, fish was extremely greasy literally siajed despite being in paper , chips were nice

Popped in while on my lunch break, greeted with smiles all round from the staff, food was served fresh, fast and hot! And the portion sizes do not disappoint! All the staff are amazing happy and friendly and it’s definitely the best chippy in Retford!

Best chippy in retford. Top class food with quick service Would recommend

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips! This place is a gem. The fish is always fresh, perfectly battered, and fried to golden perfection. The chips are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. The staff are friendly and efficient, making sure your order is ready quickly, even during busy times. The takeaway is clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving classic, delicious fish and chips. I'll definitely be coming back!

Boss lady niki and daz (Mr potato head my kids call him) running the show always talking to all the customers and making everyone feel at home Will always pop in when I'm back!!

Fabulous phone service, easy and slick. Wonderful food. Super friendly staff. Highly, highly recommended.

Best chippy ever! Huge portions and cooked fresh. Would never go anywhere else.

Nice food but unfortunately the fish has become very thin! More batter than fish .

Good food, lovely staff and great service. Best chippy in retford.

Absolutely fab food and amazing service. Even on a manic Fri night they all work so hard to keep waiting times down. Keep it up guys. Xx

Best chippy about, the fish is the best iv ever had 👌

Not only was the food amazing (especially the specially made chips, cheese and gravy) the service and atmosphere were second to none! I’d go there just to hang out!

Fantastic as always. This is quite simply the best fish and chips in the area.

Best fish and chips in this area.

Absolutely fantastic fish and chip shop called in out of the blue very friendly staff service excellent, and the fish chips and peas were delicious, plus the portions were very generous . It's well worth a visit, and I will definitely visit the next time I'm in the area 👌👍

Very friendly staff Very nice fish & chips

Excellent food. Very impressed with the size of the haddock and the taste of the curry sauce! See you soon 👍

Always happy and friendly staff, the food is pretty good too

This had become our regular Fish and Chips now we live on this side of town, portions are great, good is great and the staff are all bubbly and have a chat even when busy

We spent as a family £35+. The majority of the haddock and chips was thrown in the bin. One of the fish tasted as though it was 3 weeks old. Never again.

Very reasonable and tasty haddock where the small fish and chips meal deal is £7:50.

The food was really good and the staff are lovely and friendly.

The food was excellent. Staff were lovely and very friendly.

Amazing food always very tasty!! Staff are very friendly!!

Having read all the reviews we thought we'd give them a try. Personally I was disappointed. I know everyone has their own preferences but for me I do not like fish fried with the skin on, also the batter was really thick to the point that there was more batter than fish! Won't be going back.

Didn't know you could order by phone. Tried it. Call answered promptly. Order taken. Picked up. Excellent food. Many thanks.

Fish and chips in New Zealand just doesn't compare with proper English fish n chips! I ordered cod and chips and thr fish was huge! Crispy batter and beautifully cooked fish. Chips were OK, not as good as I have had in the past. Ordered 2 portions of chips for 3 people but we only managed to eat one portion between us. Lovely to have mushy peas too!

Best fish and chips in Retford by a mile!

Food is always of a good standard, staff are lovely and service is quick. Couldn’t ask for better.

Staff are very friendly down to earth can have a laugh and a joke with the staff, food is brilliant.

Treated my mum to a chippy lunch. Wasn’t disappointed at all and for her to say it was great, then we will definitely be coming back. Friendly service with a smile. Thanks so much and keep the tasty food coming!

Superb fish (the cod and mini fish options both consistently high quality.) Also the friendliest service. Always a smile.

Ordered 2 mini fish and chips and had a slight issues with my order as I was missing a gravy. However I rang up and even though they had closed the nice gentleman went out of his way to bring me what I was missing to my home so my food didn’t go cold, on top of a free bottle of drink 🙂top notch customer service and the food is always lovely couldn’t fault anything highly recommend. Thank you papas! 🙂🙂🙂

The food and service is the best I have received in a long time so friendly

Best chippy in the retford area

Everything is always cooked to perfection, love the cod and chips, the mushy peas are great too. Doesn't matter whether you eat in or take out

Been brilliant all through lockdown will be calling soon to sit inside.

10/10 fish first rate chips cooked beautiful

I have picked up takeaway a few times and the people are great. The food is good including the Doner Kababs as well as the fish and chips. Service can be busy at times but well worth the try

Good food, not long waiting time.

Never been here before. I was impressed at how organized everyone was and how clean the shop was. The girls were friendly and efficient whilst having banter between themselves and customers. The fish was excellent. Moist flesh with a crispy tasty batter. The only thing l could find fault with was the chips. I like my chips with colour and crisp on the outside whilst being fluffy on the inside. But you cannot please everyone all the time. Overall a professional and personal experience.

Just had the best fish and chips in retford the fish was Devine and cooked to perfection. Will definately go there again. The staff were very friendly too

Very friendly staff great little chip shop and very good food will defiantly be dropping by again when i am in the area :)

Fish is constantly amazing, chips are mega filling, great chippy

Very poor chips too many dark bits fish old dry and discoloured. Ok will visit again on the basis most comments postive.

Fantastic. Best in town. Staff so friendly and kind

Excellent fish and chips as usual but today will be my last visit until the Covid pandemic is over. 6 young ladies serving always polite BUT packed close together shoulder to shoulder brushing past each other, handing open food ALL WITHOUT A FACE MASK. Very disappointing.

Very good service friendly staff and lovely food.

Told that Papas was open for takeaway in lunchtime Retford. A short walk from Market Square through Cannon Square. Friendly staff, fish cooked to order, good chips and generous portions with modest prices. Be pleased to eat their fish and chips again. They were well protected with PPE and easy to wait for order outside in sun.

Great choice. Plenty to eat. Always

Freshly cooked so still hot when I got home

Best fish and chips in bassetlaw
