Used to go here weekly as a kid when it was Huxleys, Been a few times since it's been Tanans and was ok, we decided to try again as our usual is in widnes which is a bit far.l and had less time to travel over. Wish we had traveled, some chips where a little hard in places and undercooked, peas like bullets and absolutely horrible and the fish was greasy and tasted of vegtable oil. Staff were welcoming and service was good, but totally disappointed with £26 spent, I won't go back there.

on a recent visit to St. Helens from Northampton, we popped in to Tanans. We had the fish special which is as by far the best fish and chips we have had in a very long time. The staff were warm welcoming and friendly. As I said the food was delicious. He fish batter was tasty and crispy as was the chips and mushy peas. Wish we could give more than 5 stars not only for the food and staff but it was excellent value for money.

This is one of the best Chip shops we have been to, the tiles around the walls etc gives a really old fashioned chippy feeling. The Cod with batter plus chips were really fresh and beautifully cooked, mine was served with really tasty gravy, my wifes with lovely Curry, and all served by the friendliest ladies.We have been to many chips shops over god knows how many years (including Rick Steins in Padstow - we think he should come to this Chippy and see proper Fish and Chips being fried and served with far better pricing...

I do like trying out fish and chips in different towns and this was as good as I have had. I don't usually have a good word for anything from St Helens being from Wigan but this is a great chippy. Nothing pretentious just very good food. Everything is cooked fresh to order and served with a smile. Told it was Scottish cod which was lovely and white with a very nice crispy thin batter. Chips crisp and dry served with mushy peas, bread and a cup of tea for 6.50pounds. Very good.

Better than all the rest! Tanan’s Fish & Chips is a traditional old fashioned fish & chip restaurant. Table service with a friendly warm welcome and the food is top quality. You won’t find a better place doing what they do anywhere else on Merseyside. Visited with DD and grandson for our annual pilgrimage to St Helens on my dear mum’s anniversary. She loved St Helens and she loved this chippy. Although it’s changed hands since she passed. It’s still the same great plaice (😜) and quality. Delicious and only £10.90 for fish,chips & mushy peas and a fish & chips, two diet cokes. Restaurant was full very quickly. Top notch service with a warmth unlike anywhere. Thank you Tanan’s keep doing what you do xx

On shopping trip we fancied a bit of lunch so called in to this place. Very clean and a nice welcome from friendly staff. Ordered fish and chips and it was beautiful. Well cooked and served. Informed the fish was fresh from Scotland...( mine still had its kilt on ..lol ). Not really. My only slight disappointment was that although the chips were very nice, there were a lot of very small chips and bits that had to be left on plate. That said,we enjoyed our visit and have no hesitation recommending to others.

I took my family and granddad here today for the first time and had a cracking meal. Fish special for £6 was a huge piece of cod, chips, bread and butter and a tea. Food and service was excellent. Kids portions were huge too for only £3. Fab place. Thoroughly recommend to anyone.

This restaurant serves the best Fish and Chips available in St Helens. There only used to be one Fish and Chip shop where people queue outside to get in. The service and food at this restaurant far out strips the service at other comparable restaurants we have eaten in.
