Prices were good, compared to local take aways. Portion size was good for lunch but not quite enough for a main meal, but I do have a big appetite. They actually put salt and vinegar on it rather than just waving the bottles near the food! Chips were proper sized. Batter was crispy and tasty. Sausage was not over done. All in all very good.

Been in Peterborough for 6 years, kept saying to myself I would go in and eat. After all the good and bad reviews I had seen , I thought I would find out for myself. Ordered 2 small lightly battered cod and peas, excellent, friendly service + food was the best I've had for many many years. 100% will be back. Thanks again.

Amazing fish and chips, so crispy and delicious. Everything so well cooked. The mushy peas and curry tasted less processed than they do in a lot of places. We are in the restaurant and the service was smiley and very helpful. I hope we will be back soon!

Visited Peterborough last week and we thought we would go to our usual lunch time favourite shop. Never again I am sorry to say. The female behind the counter had the worst attitude ever. She gave the impression it was too much hard work to serve you, heavens above a hello or welcome. Ordered 1 cod and 1 plaice both with chips. Plaice was more like a dab and was dry as no batter hardly and all curled up. Cod was more like a large fish finger. Such a shame used to be so nice and couple who were behind the counter nice and friendly.

The food is always excellent quality and freshly cooked we always eat upstairs with waitress service which has been very good . My only gripe is that I have to say the front window is rather dirty and there is a lot of dust and cobwebs this is a shame as the restaurant seating area is always clean and tidy

Went to Parrots for the first time today, about 1/2 hour before they closed - we ordered a large haddock and regular chips - the lady checked that the fryer was still on, it was - the ‘large’ haddock was small, nothing like we’ve had at other fish and chip shops and was unfortunately barely warm considering it was meant to be freshly fried, the chips were cold and hard - shame coz it’s quite local

Bought a late lunch for my mum and I today. Food cooked fresh so it was abit slower than I am used to. The food however was lovely. The fish and chips great, and the battered mushrooms were a lovely vegi option. The portion size isn’t massive (not a problem for us) but worth noting. The quality was lovely. Will definitely be back.

We are regular customers of Parrotts. The fish is always so tasty with the batter light and crispy. Only complaint about the chips is that the portion size is too big for us. The curry sauce is excellent and not like any other curry sauce that I've tried before. Staff have always been polite and efficient.

Been going here for some 26 years Sadly today was a huge let down asked for 2 portions chips and gravy They were wrapped in paper instead of trays. As we wanted to eat them in the car this was impossible Went back in asked for trays was informed they don't do them any more due to Government regulations they have been banned. I asked what I could do and was rudely informed "other people manage!" I asked for my money back and Was told the food had been provided so I couldn't have my money back Very very poor attitude 0 customer service. I presume that single use plastic or polystyrene trays banned from 1st October mean this shop are unable to source a replacement that is legal.Too expensive eat in to profit???? Well cheers just voted with my feet These new owners have no idea about customer service bye

Wow talk about a chip shop going down hill the most depressing long winded chip shop in peterborough, young lad with hat on looks like he’s about to commit suicide, the women ain’t got a clue and are just as slow and miserable, waited 20 minutes for a seniors and it was empty,,, blimey what a let down after all the years it’s been here and by the looks of it the owners are very defensive judging by there replies on all the reviews… the most stingiest, miserable long winded chipper ever, good luck

Chips were nice despite looking like they'd been taken out of the bin! Long wait and miserable boss. Packaging started breaking down luckily I was given 1 napkin else I'd have lost the tiny portion I was given. Anemic sausages defrosting in the microwave made my mind up not to eat it and mushy brown peas??? Should be green 🤢

I would avoid being served by 'Kerry' She has the worst attitude I have experienced! Not sure if she was in a bad mood or tired but the customers and staff were sure getting the rough end of it. Also over heard her speaking about how previous guests came in to eat and 'were all this and that' & 'making her run back and forth' causing her to think it was okay 'to spit in their food and watch them eat it'! Will not come back or go in if she is there...then again I'm wondering if I'll go back again because that sort if behaviour rubs off on certain staff members is they think 1 has gotten away with such nastiness

I had the Fish Friday special which is Fish & Chips for a fiver along with a couple of potato fritters which were 50p each. Everything was great! Fish was tasty, chunky and coated in a nice batter. Chips were great and the fritters were lovely too. Everything is cooked to order and I'll defintely be back! 😋

Although the staff were busy and a little stressed, the restaurant was clean and we were seated quickly. It took some time for our food to arrive, likely because it was cooked fresh and not left on a warm shelf to be reheated when needed. The fish and chips arrived hot and overflowing the plate. the chips were crisp, yet not overcooked. The fish was white and tasty, the batter thin and crunchy. Honestly one of the best fish and chips I've had in England, certainly the best north of the Watford Gap. No picture, there wasn't enough left to snap once I realised I'd just started eating.

First time visitor since Parrotts changed ownership. Positives: * upstairs restaurant appears to have lost some tables, which meant it was lovely and roomy upstairs * downstairs cafe area plastic fixed chairs & tablets replaced with wooden moveable furniture which is a big improvement * food tasted ok & reasonable sized portions * friendly staff Negatives: * Drink prices are very high!! * New menu layout is a bit confusing & at first glance looks very limited Would I return yes, but next time i will order tap water (even though i personally hate drinking water)

After hearing a recommendation from a friend, we visited Parrotts whilst in Peterborough for the Beer Festival. Our fish and chips lunch deal came with a proper pot of tea and it was excellent.

I've enjoyed fish and chips from parrots for many years but I was very disappointed with my recent order..I asked for cod and chips and was given Haddock instead,I don't like Haddock as I don't like the skin plus haddock is dryer than cod...I miss the elderly chap as all the years I've been going he never got my order wrong..oh and chips were terribly to

30 years after moving to Peterborough………..Attended a special “casino” evening with U3A group, some thirty or so people and many other people. The restaurant was busy, the service was very good, the food was delicious and inventive, the ambience was warming. I am definitely going again. These students, after a hard day of lectures, tutorials or whatever, worked their socks off to produce excellent results and so many happy and satisfied customers …..wonderful. I was impressed.
