I only ever order from here when we want a chippy. Food is cooked fresh, portions are huge, service is quick and staff are so friendly.

Really impressed with the service of the girls in the chip shop. Very friendly and polite. After a few visits , we have always had good food from here and highly recommend the kebabs and fish meal deals here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been to this chippy several times and found the food always good , tonight it was excellent. Maybe it was because it was busy but the chips were fresh and nice and hot. The fish was also large and excellent. Not sure why there are several less than excellent reviews I have not had any issues

I had ordered one large chips one large cod one small cod one battered sausage and two curry sauces I took them home to find out the quality was substandard the fish was manufactured in batter that was not fluffy and crisp the curry sauce was absolutely disgusting chips was okay if you can’t really mess up on chips the quality overall was sub sub standard. If you are hungry and you would like some nice fish and chips I would advise you please do not buy chips from this place as the quality is not good enough for human consumption.

Tried this Fish Bar for the first time today......when i got back home, i found this sad looking dry fish in a box. Not sure if the cardboard box drains the taste out of the food, but will not be revisiting.

Waves had been recommended by friends - but we were disappointed! The fish was just OK . (large Haddock) quite greasy. Chips were awful - Very dry - even my husband didn't like them, and he will eat most things! We also travelled from Blaby to try them! So we wouldn't recommend them.

Having visited waves on several occasions since moving to lutterworth in September I found the portion sizes to be generously wonderful however on one occasion there seemed to be an error and what I had taken home wasn't waves usual portion size and undercut the amount of mouths it was feeding that night. On my next visit to waves I explained the error they were sincerely apologetic and gave me extra for this visit to make up for the previous mistake. I suppose everyone has better days than others but they corrected it in the best way possible, overall the service here is fab as are the staff and of course the delicious food, this is our family's new local favorite chippy!

had to wait a good 15 minutes for the food so was expecting good things, sadly it wasn't! yes there was a big pile of chips but they were under cooked and soggy, wasn't a fan of the batter and the fish was tasteless. the kids sausage and nuggets were fine. if you get fish and chips you expect a certain standard not sure how they could have got it so wrong!

I usually have Haddock and chips. The batter is light and crisp and the fish succulent. The chips are usually excellent and Sid will throw away any stale ones rather than spoiling his reputation.

Never having tried this fish & chipshop, one is always uncertain as to the quality you are likely to receive, but I have to say, the fish was lovely & fresh tasting, cooked whilst I waited, with the chips also cooking. So everything was fresh...
