Parrott's Fisha Nd Chip Shop in Peterborough

I wanted to take a receipt for the food but nobody cared.

Excellent service. Definitely coming back again.

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!

Great fish and chips .Friendly efficient staff. All freshly cooked. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

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.

Very good food cheap clean friendly service.

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

I want to give this more stars!! Love this place! My regular fish and chip shop to eat at when I'm in town. Always, and i mean always freshly cooked and hot. Lovely portion sizes, tasty food. ( the gravy is amazing) Prices are good too, honestly hope this shop never shuts!!

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

Authentic English fish and chips in Peterborough

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.

Great value cooked to order hot n tasty

they made my curry sauce in the microwave which put me off and they put the sausages in with the chips when my daughter don’t like meat which is stupid

Best place can't beat the taste of this place, best chips in a very long time. I actually went round to 8 fish and chip shops in Peterborough and none tasted better than this place....

Called in for £5 fish and chips. Paid a little extra to eat in and have mushy peas included. The meal was freshly cooked and hot. The portion was sufficient for an adult. Very good value for money, clean seating area, friendly and pleasant staff, I will be back and recommending to friends.

Thanks to all the staff when I fell down today for all your kindness and care

Staff friendly, good prices and delicious fish. Even hubby liked it and he is super critical of fish everywhere!

I visited this chippy on Friday and I must say it was beautiful! The fish was amazing quality, reasonably priced and very tasty indeed! I was served by a young girl with glasses, she was very polite and helpful. Great service makes a difference!

Excellent fish and chips. Friendly staff and clean. Recommended if you are ever in Peterborough!

Absolutely terrible meal. Chips cold and hard. Fish cold and tasteless. Mushy peas awful! Would not recommend.

Totally agree with the last review I personally will be here every week what a great deal I was passing by and thought my eyes deceived me food was very nice

£5 Special for fish and chips! Absolutely bargain. The seating area is clean and basic but the food was really good. Would definitely recommend. Looks like the offer is only Friday/Saturday though.

Best chippy in town a tad expensive GET a meal deal

First time going there Lovely chips with curry sauce Deffo coming back

Not the best. Service a bit slow, lots of chatting between staff members think they are under pressure with orders Food could be better. Very greasy chips.

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.

Food was excellent. Best fish I have had in a long time, the batter is light and crispy and the staff are nice and friendly. Our chippy of choice now.

Really good fish and chips cooked to order well worth the money best in Peterborough

Had delivered meal, very disappointed, never again 😒, as you requested, reason for comment, not nearly as good has meal at your restaurant which I can say is excellent 😀

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

Decided to pop in here today for lunch when I was served by a guy who was very pleasant and very fast at serving me with a beautiful fish special - I was at back of que and with in no time he served me and even had time to ask how my day was going. Great service,

Amazing food and amazing service 11/10

Batterdfish cake and chips Best in town Love the food there

Nice clean place with decent fish and chips.

Excellent food and service, will come again

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

Every time I have been to parrots the service and food has been brilliant. The staff are very friendly and helpful

Love this place Food is outstanding So are the staff Clean toilets Brilliant service

I'm doing this review because of a recent delivery order... Food took 2 hours to arrive and was stone cold, we phoned chip shop twice and the second time they us that once food leaves their shop it's not their problem,i beg to differ.. I will never buy food from here again

Absolutely shxt, I couldn't believe wat they put in front of me,had to ask for fork and napkin place was empty (I wonder why) seated inside and the waiter comes and tells me I need to go eat outside ask apparently had asked for take away

We have been going for over 50 yrs when tim retired we have been few times sadly the chips are nothing like they have been we went and tryed again today no taste in chips and more hard chip bit than full chip so after giving the new owner benefit of the dought we will not go back no atomphere poor food and quality is so poor .

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! 😋

Tucked away at the back of the shop is a staircase leading to a small dining area with table service. I had a good pot of tea and a generous portion of scampi with just the right amount of chips. Thank-you!

Great fish and chips. Seating downstairs and up.

Not been to parrots for a few years. I had the lunchtime special sausage chips and a drink and a curry sauce. Not bad at all but the curry sauce wasn’t your usual stuff. Kind of fruity, never had that kind before, decent.

Clean and tasty; I did not like the fact that the mashed peas were microwaved

Had table service lunch upstairs - waitress was rushed off her feet but still made sure customers were served quickly. Food was really good, nice sized portion. Highly recommend especially if you’re visiting from overseas like I was and want a real British chippy experience.

Good down hill big time since new owners and staff. Food quality and service not good. Much better out there

Chips were only Luke warms lot of scrappy bits fish was hot lightly battered but very flat curry sauce hot 🔥 drinks lovely seems all new staff when asked for middle piece of cod staff didn't know what that was to be told in a grumpy voice we only do fillet. Very disappointed shar t be. Back for a while

The fish and chips was okay put I didn't get the curry sauce I got chilli sauce that I didn't order

I HAVE TO SAY PARROTTS FISH BAR IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE...SERVICE TODAY WAS SLOW AND THERE WAS A QUEUE. ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF STAFF WAS WALKING AROUND IN WITH HER HEAD IN THE CLOUDS AND NOT SERVING...THE PORTION WE GOT ALSO WAS VERY SMALL AND TASTED VERY FATTY.

Great chip shop, food is always tasty

Girl’s customer service is great as it should be dealing with the customers, however the owner……MARDY ! Needs a few lessons from his staff .

Could do with more seating open food just enough and very tasty

The best Fish and Chip shop on Peterborough the fish is absolutely spot on with the batter

Disgusting behaviour towards the customer, told my mum to use the men's toilet as the ladies were already cleaned for tommorow and spoke to her like she was nothing. She is a customer leaving her money at this business, you should be ashame of your self, Who ever you are, you are very lucky I was not there! That is all I can say. I had to give one star but you deserve nothing

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.

Fish and Chips very good. Of course, for a British dish it's good. Unfortunately, the chicken quarter was dry, which was a pity.

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)

Battered sausage lovely chips were absolutely disgusting full of grease.

Staying at sons and went twice in the week. They were beautiful. Crispy fish snd white new chips. Highly recommend .

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. The lady who served us also deserves a mention! She was brilliant, was chatty and had a great sense of humour. We will definitely return next time in Peterborough.

Chips the really nice sausage was good but was slow service just for chips but worth the wait

Food was excellent. Staff were very friendly, and, exceedingly helpful to me, being wheelchair bound. Looking forward to going back again for more in the not too distant future. Thanks for a pleasurable experience.

Myself and my mum come here every Friday in the first week.My mum struggles a lot now with mobilty so we stick to three.shops .And Parrots has been a favourite of ours since I was a little girl .Fish and chips are so nice we also do a small one to take home for my brother .Service is ace to a I've and beyond .Can't wish for a better service and fish is outstanding.Thankyou .

Great place for lunch, either cafe or restaurant style. Depends what you want. Often dine here when in town. Very handy for town centre.

Definately gone downhill !! On the upside fish was nice, downside, chips were not.

The owner lied to me & told me the chips were fried on their own, I binned them as they didn't taste right, went back a week later and asked another member of staff & they told me the chips are cooked in the same oil as chicken 🤮

Fantastic fish and chips Well worth the trip from 🇩🇰 Denmark

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

Ate outside tasty fayre thank you

Great fresh fish in crispy coating, maybe just a bit too small 😉😜. The fries are good, they smell of fresh oil, the portion is large, although I've had better ones, they're still good. Nice service, we didn't wait long. We will definitely come back to fish.

Excellent service by Kerry. Best chips, haddock, battered mushrooms and gravy that I've had in many years. Wish I lived in Peterborough, I'd be a regular here.

Amazing food, great staff I come weekly

Really lovely lady served me, very attentive and professional. The food was well presented, tasty and hot. I did take a photo, but I was so eager to eat my lunch that it is not much help for a photo review. But I loved it .

Amazing cod and chips. Fully recommended 👌 👍

Great take away meal, lovely friendly Staff..

Today I liked fish and chips in parrots did parlour thank you it's was y nice.

Good food, very friendly and patient staff.

Best chippy in Peterborough with amazing food and lovely local staff! Will definitely make this a regular 🎏

I had a lovely fish and chips, served by friendly staff

Bit disappointed. Appears to have changed management, which has resulted in a considerable reduction in portion size, and the cod now appears to be a cut and shaped strip of fish! Improvements are needed!

Whenever I'm in Peterborough, I'll be visiting here again. Fish, chips,mushy peas, a pit of tea and table service for under a tenner. It's the last decent deal on the planet! Nice too..

Loved the cod and chips, authentic taste with salt and vinegar. Very nice and welcoming people seving you tasty meals.

Food was excellent, freshly cooked. Staff very friendly. Only negative was the coffee. It tasted rank!

Great service, vivid friendly, great Fish and Chips

Good place to eat and very good prices eat in or out special deals for oap.

Always good food lovely staff always welcoming and friendly. But quiet pricey if you in eat in restaurant upstairs.

Traditional fish and chip's, delish ♥️

I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best saveloy and chips I've had in years, nope, actually ever. The chips were nothing short of perfect. The service was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back

Fantastic Fish and Chips with fast friendly service. Traditional takeaway at its best with a spotless restaurant.

The best fish and chip shop in Peterborough. Amazing taste! I have to say chips are absolutely delicious 10 out 10😎

Very tasty but little too expensive!

Nice fish Not really fan of gravy and mushy Chips were fine

I love this fish and chips shop so much the curry sauce is AMAZING!!! Craved it so much during lockdown 😂 he won't tell me the secret recipe though 😂

Great service, delicious fish & chips! The owner is amazing!

Just had parrotts delivery through the Peterborough grab app amazing as always. Try there cheese'n'burgers big hit in my house.
