Have eaten at the Seven Seas Fish & Chip Restaurant with my young pre school age son many times in the past fmainly because they are an all day restaurant and their lunchtime special (Regular fish & chips, peas, slice of bread & butter and a pot of tea) was reasonably priced and good value although the fish could be hit and miss at times taste wise but overall I've never had any reason to complain. However my visit back in May will sadly be my last as we was just left sat at a table for ten to fifteen minutes whilst the girl on the till chatted away to someone she obviously knew who had come in for a take away order. Whilst I understand that she was on her own and was having to deal with both dine in and take away customers there was nobody else in the restaurant when we entered and sat down so she wasn't exactly rushed off her feet! To add insult to injury the owner who fries the fish also saw me and my son who by now was getting quite vocal with "Daddy I'm Hungry!" just sat there waiting to order and instead of instructing his member of staff to come over and take our order decided instead to go over and join in their conversation as well! Needless to say at this point I got up and we left with my son in tears as he could not understand why we was leaving and had been looking forward to some fish & chips from Seven Seas as we hadn't been for a while. The good news is however after a short drive we managed to find an alternative all day fish & chip restaurant in the centre of nearby Standish which is just as good and slightly better value who were more than happy to take our order so my son got his fish & chips in the end. Upshot Seven Seas you have lost a semi regular customer as I'll be taking my custom to Standish from now on.

We went here after recommendations and we were so disappointed. The pies were cold, the peas hard and cold, gravy way too thick. Chips were fine. Coffee and tea could not of been any weaker. Female waitress was pleasant, cannot fault that. Sadly we won’t be using this establishment again.

All through the last 2 years, don't accept money. Contact free. Today go 10 Miles to the place & don't accept contact less, only cash. So how do they delver, it's supposed to be a restaurant. Never again.

Eat in or takeaway, never had a bad serving of fish and chips, the hot curry sauce is fantastic as well. Defiantly the best fish and chips in Wigan I'm never left disappointed. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Ordered pie and chips last night. My pie was drier than a camel's nostril. Safe to say we'll not be returning.

I was at the hospital close to the chip shop so went in for lunch. Not only was it spotlessly clean the meal served for £7.30 was outstanding. Cooked to perfection and so much I was unable to eat all the chips. I have never been as surprised to have found such an outstanding fish and chip shop outside my home town of Blackpool

My fish was very small and the over powerful smell and taste of amino was foul. Food left and made a quick exit.

Freshly cooked fish every time, always great chips that don’t stick together when wrapped, excellent mushy peas. What’s not to like? Also will do three sizes of fish as well as a choice of cod or haddock. Can order by phone for collection.

From Standish, the weekly jaunt to Wigan now for Fish and Chips from here, superb. My biggest compliment, it reminds me of my favourite chippy in Southport, but even better. I've never walked in and pre cooked fish been about. Get your fish it's thick and juicy, really is exceptional in my opinion.

It’s a really good chippy , great service we ate in and excellent value, if I had a complaint chips were poor and could be better , the fish and curry plus mushy peas spot on , would definitely go again.

Once bitten, twice shy. Had fish and chips from here earlier in the year. The fish was dry, stale even. Threw it away. Family said it's usually nice. Tried again tonight. Again, the fish was dry and awful. Will never return .

Quite possibly the best chippy in Wigan and certainly the only one I know of that does deep fried haggis. Nom nom nom! Eat in or take away too with quite a large, clean seating area. Friendly staff, and usually pretty quick with orders even when cooking to order. Highly recommended.

Has to throw them all away. Must have been cooked ages before, not fresh at all. Girl didn't even listen to what I ordered and got it wrong. Will not be going there again.

We went to try here mid afternoon this week. Only one other table in use, Eatery was very clean, Staff attentive and polite. We tried cod,chips,peas,bread and butter,pot of tea. The fish was good,chips were let down due to new potatoes. Bread and butter was very poorly buttered,only the middle of the slice had any. Tea was unmade,tea bag separate so we could brew to our requirements.

My hubby and I love this fish and chip shop. The food is made fresh so always hot. Chunky and tasty cod. Their peas need some work but are ok. And when they have them, not very often in an eve, the smacks are delicious. Well worth the drive to sample one chippy tea night

Called in on spare of the moment and was very impressed. For £3 you can have a small fish and chips with peas. 20 pence extra to eat in which I did, Cafe side very clean and the food was good. Fish freshly cooked ,chips not greasy and tasty peas. £3 well spent

We have visited the restaurant many times during the previous two to three years, on occasions with visitors and have been impressed with the quality of the food which was consistent and compared favourably with the more upmarket and expensive fish and chip restaurants in Yorkshire, also service and cleanliness were very good. On our most recent visit during August we were disappointed; the batter on the fish was very hard the chips were soggy rather than crisp/dry (possibly new or a change of potatoes) and mushy peas were not in a dish. The most noticeable change was cleanliness; the floor was grubby and had not been mopped around the edges, the table was tacky and the toilets which previously were immaculate had not had any tlc for some time. Service was different; previously we had felt welcome and that staff were aware of customer service but now a take it or leave it attitude was present.

My wife and I visit Seven Seas on a regular basis, the quality is always good, the cod fish is my favourite, we also pick up food for parents in-law every Friday night, simple phone in your requirements walk through the door and it's ready to pick up, good service with good food what more would you want. Eat in or take away, but extra 20p if you eat in, Very clean

Forget Blackpool or Southport, the best fish and chip establishment is Seven Seas Fish and Chip Restaurant on Wigan Lane, Wigan.

I've noticed this chop shop for a while but have never been in as it always seems empty. However, we decided to venture in after a few tea time scoops yesterday. The cafe area looked closed but they let us sit inside. I have to say it was one of the best fish and chip dinners I have had. Fish absolutely lovely and white. I don't often eat fish and chips but when I do have them again I would definitely have them from here!

Many years ago when I were a lad............ there used to be a little Fish & Chip café on the corner of Wrightington St/Earl St called Earl St Chippy, but everybody knew it as "Jimmy Lowes". It was scruffy, cramped, dark, hopelessly dated, but served the best sit down Fish & Chips in the town. Sadly Jimmy passed away a few years ago, the chippy was taken over by Chinese, and this little gem was lost forever....... until now!

Absalutely awful experience. Do not come to this restaurant. I don't believe any of the reviews at this restaurant are real on trip advisor so be warned. We paid £40 deposit £10 per person before we arrived at the restaurant. We were then told all the items that we wanted on the menu were not available, aswell as the tomahawk steak which was not stated on the website that we had to pre order before we arrived. The wine that we ordered was a completely different flavour to what was described on the menu. The wine we asked for was supposed to have dark chocolate and plum and cherry flavours, the wine we were given had wild berries on the bottle but no statement of what had been described on the menu. We did not want to stay to eat there as there was not much on the menu that we wanted, everything we asked for did they did not have. The place was empty and I had asked for a jug of iced water with cups and did not even receive it. We wanted to leave with our depoait as we did not want to eat there or drink the wine. We were then told we had to send an email to the owner to get a response back tomorrow over the refund. We have not received any refund or response. We.were also told we still had to pay for the wine, the glasses that had been poured that we did not drink!! Absalutely disgusting!!! We should have had our money back there and then. So we told them that they have stolen our money which they had. If a customer isn't eating at the establishment we should not be giving them a £40 deposit to keep. Disgusted and appalled by the way things are run here. Will never return.

The quality of the food dishes this evening was poor. The food was clearly cooked and prepared differently than all the previous occasions that we'd had the food before. I rang and asked if they had a new or different chef and they said no. No explanation was given as to why the food was not up to their previous standard. £40 the family had cost us and I truly wished we'd opted for pizza!! Will not use them ever again which is a real shame as they were previously always very good.

Booked a table for the breakfast sharing board for two people for this morning. Have to say it was amazing and fantastic value, however today the service let us down. We weren't asked if we wanted drinks, so I asked and was told tea/coffee wasn't included, which was fair enough, so we ordered 2 coffees, the food came and after checking online I saw it included orange juice, so had to ask for that. Great choice of food and such a lovely pub. Have been many times for afternoon tea and always received a nice welcome. I have knocked a star off today for service. We finished our food but the staff serving were sat eating breakfast, so we waited a while and no one came, so had to disturb the staff to ask them if they could box the food we hadn't managed to eat up, not a problem. Staff are lovely, however we shouldn't have to feel we are disturbing them when we need to leave.
