Just wanted a gluten free cod and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Best gf cod I have ever had - crispy, crunchy and not at all greasy, Absolutely excellent and good value as well. Staff were friendly and helpful - a very positive experience.

Called in about 2 months ago and vowed never again. Chips was all bits, no proper chip and batter was dreadful. BUT! Just been swimming and fancied fish and chips and decided to give them another try. I AM SO PLEASED I DID!. They were lovely chips and fish was brilliant. Also two chaps on there were so polite and friendly. Highly recommend.

We were visiting Boston for the day and needed some lunch. My wife and I ordered chicken burgers and chips. The food was served very quickly, and was fresh and tasty, although we realised we should have had a portion of chips to share between us. The restaurant has an old-fashioned charm to it but as far as we could see it was spotless.

Spent £15 for Basa and frozen chips refried, and. Jacket potatoe with cheese the jacket was cold Place smelt like oil, think they need to change oil they frying in tbh Fish was ok, but if I wanted Basa I would ask for Wouldn’t really recommend tbh, they need to do better than this Got served after a long time, other customer came in and ordered after us yet they got served first Boston beautiful town but is full of immigrants and I mean straight off boat at Dover type, maybe that’s why gone really downhill Came from Leicester to do work at Boston court and was starving, should’ve gone elsewhere - at least you know, smell the place when you walk in

The fish was fresh and very tasty with right amount of crisp in the batter which didn't make it oily. The lady who served us was really lovely and welcoming even though we walked in half hour before closing time on a Sunday.

Decided to treat myself to a tray of tates chips as I was in town doing a spot of shopping, it was the worst tray of chips I've ever had, cold ,greasy and over cooked, Bob Tate was always the best in town , not anymore

I know when a business changes hands you can expect a few teething problems but the service and quality should remain high- sadly here neither was. The food had a very odd taste- like gone off- maybe it’s just the oil that needs changing but not pleasant. We were frequent visitors as we got great food all the time- now a little weary

BEWARE! If you have celiac disease do not go here! They offer a so called gluten free menu. Let me tell you that is not true! Been vilantly ill for hours. I will be reporting this business to trading standards and the local council. Disgusting. Staff were nothing but rude too.

Actually, this is 2 reviews in one. Visited early August, knowing Sam has gone, wonder if the quality is just as good. The taste was not the same as when Sam was here, just similar to many other fish & chips restaurants, but it was okay. This time, I found the oil had a slight rancid taste. It points to the fact they're not changing the oil like when Sam was here. Hope it was just a small hiccup for the new fryer.

Called in on a quiet Tuesday tea time. We ordered a large haddock each, we shared a portion of chips, mushy peas each and a cup of tea each. The fish was freshly cooked, as were the chips. The fish tasted really fresh, the batter was crispy. The chips were perfect and there wasn’t a spot of grease to be seen anywhere. The mushy peas were the proper degree of mushiness, and their taste was excellent. The only down side was the tea, it came with milk already added, too much milk as it happened. All in all a real treat, shame about the tea, but that wouldn’t stop me visiting again.

Myself and my partner had our lunch here because, previously, my partner said it had been a nice place to eat and was always busy over the weekend. The restaurant was empty, apart from one table, when we entered at lunch time. We ordered and then sat down in the restaurant inside to eat. The food took a long time to come for a fish and chip shop! The chips were under fried as were the battered sausages. I, myself, ordered a jacket potato. I noticed on the menu that it stated the jacket potatoes come with butter and garnish (which to me is a side salad). When the jacket potato arrived, as requested there was no butter on it but the garnish/side salad was missing. I asked the man serving politely why there wasn’t any side salad with it and he said I should have told him if I wanted side salad. I replied that I didn’t think I needed to tell him that I wanted it as the menu listed it as part of the dish. A side salad was brought to me after some attitude from the man serving.

We don’t live locally, but when we are Boston, we look forward to a Fish and Chip lunch at Tate’s. We won’t do this again, it was so disappointing, the chips and fish were OK, but not great (as they used to be) but the curry sauce was more like soup!! On a Saturday lunchtime it used to be packed on 2 floors, but on this occasion just a couple of tables downstairs. What a shame, it used to be a highlight on the high street.

Popped in Saturday lunch time as haven’t been for a couple of years, seated easily downstairs as upstairs was closed. The fish was nice with crispy batter, the chips were okay but a little cold. We ordered cold drinks, just a can arrived - no glass! I needed the toilet but didn’t use it as it was vile, I’ve not seen anything that grim in a long time 🤢 If we had not already eaten I think it may have put me off as I now question the general hygiene of this once perfect food outlet. Probably won’t visit again even though this has been a favourite for 40+ years.

We sat outside and ate our mini fish and chips. To be fair the mini fish didn't seem that much smaller than a full size portion. The chips were really good. However, the batter on the fish was soggy with only one end crispy, the mushy peas weren't so mushy. Service was prompt and they appeared go be serving from three different points. As busy as they were we didn't notice any one having to wait as something had ran out and was still in the frier. So don't be put off by the queue.

With so many of my local chippies dropping their standards to eat here was a real delight. My daughter who isn't a big chip fan ate all of hers including the curry sauce which she would normally never try and the mother in law who has a small appetite cleaned her plate. Will be back on our next trip to Boston.

We have been going to Tate's for many years and consider them the best in town. However, after all the hype about another chip shop re-opening in the market place we decided to check it out for ourselves. We can categorically say that whilst the food at the 'new place' was OK it still fell short of the award winning offerings from Tates. At Tates, not only is the food superior, the portion sizes and prices are also more favourable.

3 of us decided to pop in today after noticing this place on our way into town. We always like to try new places out and we were not disappointed on this occasion! We waited around 15minutes for our food which came out perfectly cooked and piping! Lovely, quiet and homely atmosphere. The staff are a credit to the place- the lady who took our order clearly enjoyed her job and it showed. We even got a goodbye from the staff at the counter on the way out, no awkward exit. We have already made plans to return on our next visit to Boston. Thanks to the staff a lovely lunch out.

I recently visited this establishment on a Saturday lunchtime. Despite it being a Saturday (a market day in Boston) I managed to find at table promptly. I was attended upon straight away by a polite and incredibly efficient waitress. She took my order and within minutes my haddock and chips plus mushy peas appeared along with the miky coffee I'd requested. Despite not being on the coast where they usually taste good, I have to say it was in all probability the best fish and chips I've ever had. I would certainly go there again without any hesitation and willingly recommend this establishment to others. It's a 'no frills' establishment with a slighly old fashioned appearance but don't be put off by that. If my experience is anything to go by it's well worth a visit.

I had not eaten at Tate's for many years and, whilst shopping in Boston with the family, was attracted by the heady aroma of fish and chips. When the desire became too strong we headed into the restaurant to be greeted by their friendly and smiling staff. Having ordered fish, chips and mushy peas, plus fishcakes and chips plus two fish with mushy peas we sat back to wait. In good time the plates arrived, completely full of freshly cooked fish and chips and they tasted.......fantastic. Just as I remembered when I was a kid. No greasy taste afterwards either.

Popped into Tates for a quick lunch as we were shopping. Had the mini fish and chips which came with peas and a mug of tea. (£6) Absolutely delicious. Excellent, quick service and clean surroundings. It’s a real gem.

Our day in Boston was perfectly completed by an excellent meal at Tate's. This Fish & Chip shop/restaurant has been in Boston for so long that much of Boston was built around it! This is not a cheap meal. The prices are quite high but they are matched by the wonderful food and very good service. Nothing is too much trouble at Tate's.

Tried the fish and chips here and they were absolutely awful. I asked for a well done fish and they were about to put an already cooked fish that was in the cabinet back into the pan, so I asked for a fresh one to be cooked. Well, when the food arrived, the fish looked like it had been twice cooked and it was served with the worst chips I've ever had. They were hard and dry, basically inedible. There was also distinct taste of burnt oil on the food. Much improvement needed as far as food is concerned. If you are paying to eat in, don't expect cutlery!

There's 3 chaps including myself that dine out and this is our new favourite place. The haddock is a generous portion, the chips are freshly cooked and a good plate full. Not keen on the curry but that's just my taste buds. Gravy is nice and we will be using again very soon. Lovely staff and the cleanliness of the establishment are worth a mention also. Any visitors to Boston for fresh fish and chips should visit here

Great little spot in Boston, with a fab little seating area oustide. The menu is nice an varied with everything from sandwiches to full hearty dinners. I’ve eaten here 2 or 3 times now when visiting Boston and it has always been a friendly pleasant experience.

Went this evening 10th June 23, we have friends coming over next week and was looking for places to visit with them. What an absolute s**t hole The beer tasted like vinegar, children in the bar, no evidence of food being served. The place was utterly filthy cobwebs stained brown they were that old. We should have taken heed before we went in, we commented on all the dead hanging baskets. Didn’t finish our drinks, husband left his because it was so bad. Avoid at all costs, I don’t understand why so many good reviews it’s awful, in fairness we didn’t sample the food. Woman behind the bar was pleasant enough.
