Stopped off here at random and glad I did. (Freshly caught) haddock and chips special. Not too long a wait, service with a smile, short walk to the beachfront to eat and enjoy the view.

The best fish and chips in Skegness by a country mile, who doesn't want to watch the world go by while eating chips. My only warnings would be not sure of opening times but if you in town it's the place if you want fish and chips. There is a limited range but suspect it's how they keep it so fresh, nice white fish none of grey stuff like our local chippy. Would also recommend, unless you very hungry, you share one between you they are large portions

We have been coming here for years with good food and icecreams, friendly service and very good prices. Came on Sunday the 8th of May first time since the renovation. poor service not friendly couldn't be bothered attitude! Kid's meal was unedible and the food was not ready at the same time so the chips were cold and looked reheated. Have to pay for sauces and are unable to put our own salt and vinegar on. The fish was cooked fresh and was of good quality. No toilet facilities and the public ones 40p contacless! Not even clean! Would have stayed and done the fun fair but overpriced and poor customer service we went home. Won't be coming back for a long time save your money go some where else!

One of the things I look forward to on a seaside holiday is a lovely freshly cooked sugary doughnut...unfortunately that was not what this place sold!! I ordered 6 doughnuts for £2.50 and after about 5 minutes I was handed a bag, Looked ok from the outside (crisp and sugary), but as myself and my friend bit in to them we soon realised that the batter was not cooked! We had no choice but to spit them out and I took them straight back to the counter. A chap who appeared to be the manager apologised and said they had had problems with the machine, but it was sorted now, and we were given a replacement bag....these were just as bad! Again we took them back to the counter. The manager had disappeared and a young blonde girl rudely told us that they are cooked in oil so the oil soaks in to the batter!! And that as we had already had 2 bags, she couldn't give us a 3rd without speaking to her manager. Firstly, we hadn't had any as we had brought both bags back, and secondly why would we want another bag when the first 2 had been inedible?? We were eventually given our money back, but the rudeness on complaint was unforgiveable!! Worst of all, my friend works in a bakery and makes doughnuts, so I think we are more than capable of knowing what one should be like! Never again!!

I hate to complain but after finding a bug in my food as soon as I sat down I was disappointed. The manager (I think) then said I was lying. Luckily a member of staff had seen the bug and replaced my food. The manager stood there and told me “there’s nothing there. It would have disintegrated”. And went on and before I could show her where it was she binned it. The food was nice after that. But considering how many different places there is cheaper to have fish and chips I will choose better next time.

I have visited here today. It’s on the promenade. Plenty of seating, staff are lovely and the tables were constantly cleaned before the next person sat there. My husband is veryyyyy fussy and he loved the fish and chips ! Not greasy, freshly cooked and tastes amazing. Even though it’s on the promenade and was busy, it wasn’t packed out and there was plenty of room to move about or sit. Will deffo visit again.

Went there with family for breakfast. The weather was really nice and that allowed us to all have breakfast outside there watching the rabbits and goldfish eating theirs. 7 of us adults had fry ups and breakfast baps which we all enjoyed.

We'd arrived in Skeggy and were in need of a coffee. This is just as you come out of the seafront car park. They've had a new seating area with the seats being dried after an early morning show - just the place to stop. Coffee was good and we were on our way to explore.

I visited this place before and though they would have improved as it was quite busy but they are awful and take no responsibility for bad service instead are foul mouthed management with no respect. They are just interested in selling and making money not service, they are just totally greedy money making scroungers. You will see from previous reviews they are very defensive and rude in their responses to customer feedback!!! take no responsibly, the staff look miserably and look scared of the management, I asked for a extra cup and the young girls very worryingly said we are not allow to give extra plastic cup, I said why not she said we will get in trouble they will not allow that!!!!she actually said they are tight and keep an eye on extra tissues and cutlery we give and they tell them off because they don't want to give it. The sauce section was dirty and the ketchup dispenser looked like its not been cleaned in a long time. we saw the cleaner use the floor brush to scoop crumbs off the table which people eat off which she didn't wipe down!! absolutely disguising. Management need to learn some manner and learn some customer service and smile which DOESNT COST!!!!! dirty/poor service/management are awful/greedy/foul mouthed management

Came here yesterday approximately 4:45 so see a woman around her 20’s being extremely rude to her customers. Shouting at your customers is not an option! Personally when I myself have a big heart and I try to be as nice as possible to everyone, we heard her shout to a lady “that one or that one” in a rude manner as the looked like she was trying to rush everybody. You will probably answer this back and tell me I’m wrong and it’s nonsense, but your staff could be more friendly when it comes to serving people, this looks like a busy place so we understand she may have been in a rush but due to her shouting we wanted to make a complaint to you, and just let her know she could present herself in a nicer manner with smile when greeting her customers, personally she did not at all look happy when serving us, this is not something we like to see, especially when paying for some good quality food it was just a shame to end of with a rude talking to, thankyou for reading.

Well after making a order to find they had not put through all items after waiting a good 20 mins I then had to pay for the missed item which the person apparently then cancelled payment so they then wanted me to pay again. I decided at this point not to bother with the other half of my dinner as not attempting to pay a third time. Buy now I was fed up and the short over made up lady that has been there years and not learned any customer service skills in that time told me I was rude no I was fed up. So I told her she had no customer service skills to which she said she had and blamed her staff. A good manager would not do this as it means they either lack training or are not able to do the job. Anyway if you choose to eat there expect a wait and service with out a smile

We normally go to one of the chippy's near the clock tower which are all good by the way. Just because that's what we do. Coming from the main carpark I said to my wife shall we try the boating lake cafe for a change. What a big mistake I have been making. This place is bloody fantastic. The fish and chips really was out of this world. Service is friendly, ok you have to queue for a bit,but not for long. It obviously shows how busy they are. Additionally advantage is you can easily take your food to the beach with you as it is within spitting distance. We went back later and had a couple of double cheeseburgers. Again these were delicious. The only criticism I would say is I would have preferred a bit of salad on the bun as well, but that is just my preference. Very happy with this place and will definitely be using this place again. You do get rather a lot of starlings, but this is only because idiots feed them or drop food which encourages them. The staff are constantly cleaning the outside seating area, but short of using an air gun it seems they have a battle on their hands. Message to future customers DON'T FEED THE BLOODY BIRDS

Just had a quick snack at this local seaside cafe. Seemed really nice until we seen the cleaner emptying the outdoor bins and wiping them down.... thought wow cleaning that's good keeping on top of the cleanliness of the external bin. The same cleaner then went on to clean the tables with the same cloth!!!! Our views on this seaside cafe changed instantly. Biggest concerns are there were birds hanging around on these bins, and children eating on the tables which had been "cleaned"

We went to Skegness for the first time on a grey, breezy September day yesterday and found this place. It was just what we wanted, fish and chips and outside, perfect for a British seaside trip. Went to the counter and ordered fish, chips and a hot drink. The helpful gentleman serving pointed out that we could have the meal deal so we ordered two of them, fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a hot drink (we had coffee). Just what we wanted, the food was good and there was plenty of it, the coffee hot and hit the spot too. The mushy peas were great, very flavoursome! For £6.50 each in the meal deal, you can't really ask for more!

We have fish and chips when the family visits. We've been a couple of times now and the fish is beautiful - boneless and skinless which we all enjoyed. The chips were nice too, but we all ended up leaving half of them because the fish is so filling with the size of the portion. Visiting here when the family comes to town is becoming a bit of a tradition

Never ever again shall i visit this place, not only was the service terrible so was the food. After ordering two specials which include fish, chips, mussy peas, cuppa tea and bread I also ordered sausage, chips and curry sauce. I asked if the curry sauce and 1 of the mussy peas to be serviced separate so that I could have the curry sauce and my daughter the mussy peas. When they shouted my order number I found that the mussy peas and been placed on my tray, so when I asked why, I got told I could not have them put separate and I had to have the mussy peas, to top this of the bread was stale and my cups of tea was left at the other end of the service area. No one seemed to inform me of this it just seems since they had been paid they didnt care. Also I came away feeling sick with the greasy food.

We decided on this venue as it was the first one we came to as it was closest to the car park Big mistake, we ate in the cafe which was cramped we ordered the fish and chip special with mushy peas and a kids meal. The highlight was the bowl of scraps the rest was a disgrace chips that seemed to have been stood for ever and the fish which was certainly not cod or any other type of fish I have tasted before. The Bread was left as it had an illuminous yellow spread on top, the ketchup really shouldn’t be called that as if had no tomato taste at all just like a pink vinegar possibly the most disgusting thing I have ever put in my mouth. The customer service was appalling. Warning stay clear 4 of us together all agreed worst food we have ever eaten

We decided to stop off here to have our tea as it was on the way back to the car. The place was busy with people waiting for food. I waited at least 20 minutes. I mean, it is a fish and chip take away you would think they'd be more prepared. You didn't have time to view the menu before someone screamed 'anybody waiting to be served'! . . Upon being served I requested a child's portion of chips as I had small children. I asked how much this would be and she said 'they are all the same price ' and proceeded to show me the small tray for children and the large tray for adults. I felt it unfair that I was being charged for chips half the size as adult portions at £1.99! There was staff hanging around doing nothing when tables could have been cleaned, as they was filthy and bins could be emptied as they was overflowing. The whole place was not clean. The staff wasn't friendly and certainly in no rush to do anything. If I hadn't had waited so long for our food I'd have asked for my money back and gone elsewhere. I will not be going there again. There is much better customer service around the corner.

I'm totally outraged after my quick time at the boating lake cafe today. The was no que at the doughnut line so got served straight away (which is the only postive) to a young women with short hair doing the doughnuts, she was really nice and chatty. I ordered six doughnuts for £1, the lady took my order an began to cook them fresh. Not even a couple of minutes later did a black haired lady come over and start having a conversation about her sex life with the lady cooking my doughnuts! I'm a 58 year old women and don't won't to be hearing things like that and the look on the girls face who was serving me look really embrassed and apologised as soon as the other lady left for me having to hear that conversation which the other women spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear may I add! Then we thought we would stop to get a coffee before going back to the car. While walking across the path we nice all the signs and tables were getting taken in so we thought we better hurry, there was a young lad packing away all the signs by himself to the same women and a blone women telling him aggressively(in my opinion) to hurry up because they want to go home after we heard this we decided just to walk straight past and not to buy anything after these problems today. I've been coming here regularly in the past with my husband and grandchild and can not fault the food I'm just outraged about these two women to say the least I will never go there again!

We've eaten here a few times, after trying other places for our fish and chips. In our view, these are the best, not been disappointed yet, and reasonably priced too. Pretty generous portions, clean white fish in crispy batter, lovely.Sometimes when they're busy you won't get a table, but there's always a lawn or wall to perch on, but not the beach, unless you like the taste of sand in your meal!The doughnuts are so so, but then again, aren't all seaside doughnuts a bit iffy? Grab a bag at Tesco, Asda, or Sainsburys if you want perfect doughnuts I reckon.

We visited Skegness 27th June 2015 and found it to be disorganised and staff unresponsive at times including the guy at the I expect cream serving hatch inside the cafe room. He definitely wanted out and had the couldn't give a toss body language. The fish n chips were however as good as always with one criticism though. The batter was quite oily and so much so the base of the fish the batter was reconstituting back to liquid batter.Can't fault the fish. Hot and succulent. Bread was a let down as it was quite dry/stale.Flys were a problem and spent a good while swatting instead of eating.We came back to one of the external serving counters for a cold drink. The young girls serving do need to wash their ears out and learn how to understand plain English considering they're English themselves. What part of 1 Oasis and 1 Dr Pepper did they not understand.I have asked foreign nationals elsewhere and they were more polite and responsive than the 3 we were trying to deal with.The owners better get their act together and start delivering what they used to about 2 or 3 years ago.I recommend only for the deal which gives value for money over theor competitors £5.80 and you get Good sized Fish portion with Chips, Mushy Peas, slice of bread and a tea or coffee. Cannot fault it so is worth it on that basis.

Firstly, need to say the fish and chops I had here today were dome of the best I have ever tasted- really spot on.However........We returned around 2ish for pudding and my wife and I had to stand in separate queues as we wanted different things.... Fine today but had one of us brought our children on our own how would we have managed then?So whilst in the longer of the 2 queues, for 6 donuts, as the establishment only has one donut machine, the wait for the said donuts was 20 minutes!!! Those buying Ice cream and donuts (on the other queue might I add) were also been supplied from the machine, hence the wait!Other than that, both food purchases here were good value

Used to love a stop here for chips fish n.ice cream but last two visits have been poor. Soggy sweaty chips and ice cream was weird watery and the flakes had a onion taste to them so they went to the gulls. Never.again

A nice relaxing place to sit and enjoy a coffee after a walk along the beach with the dog. Good selection of food and the staff are very helpful and polite.

Recently visited when in skeggy for a family tea time treat, had the fish and chips, children had fish cake plus drinks. Drinks came first and coffees where luke warm by the time our meals where ready. The fish was bland served in a soggy batter which after a couple of bites I left (worst fish I have ever had in Skegness), peas where watery, okay chips where okay and fish cake bland but kids ate them . The young staff where gloomy and lacking a smile and pleasantries. It goes without saying we will not be returning when in the resort again.

Visited approx 13:30 - 13:45 with my partner and her daughter my partner ordered 4 x Donuts with ice cream and strawberry sauce and paid and was served her order in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered and paid for the same but nearly 10 x mins after paying still no order and was a bit annoyed that at least 3 x people ordering the same as me after me had all been served and taken there orders. It would appearvthe young lady who took my order must have forgot about me and my order. This was a poor experience so i asked for a refund of my £1.70 so i could go and get some donuts with ice cream from over the road instead. Going forward perhaps a ticket system should be used for orders where the customer has to wait for the food to be prepared that way no order is forgotten.

The fish and chips are brilliant value and very fresh and tasty and their ice creams start from 60p and are large and very yummy

If you love fish and chips then Skegness is of course the place to go. Trying to find the best place where to have fish and chips is enough to cause you a headache. Primarily we were trying to fins a true seafood place along the front of the beach and even down the high street. Exhausted we plumped for this place.Paid £12 just under for their (recurring) daily special of fish and chips and mushy pea’s with cup of tea and bread and butter.The pictures tell you the story. There were no other option but mushy peas, the chips were just ok. However i have to admit the fish was crispy, seemed very fish and tasty. They didn’t provide a tray and after going back to the counter twice, i literally forget about going back for the bread and butter.I wish i forgot the tea as well.The staff didn’t look very happy, but the young guy who was clearing the tables, he did keep everything neat and tidy on a very windy day, so at least you had a clean table.We did go for a strawberry sundae at £2, and like another review, it did taste good and lots of strawberries on top, sadly had to run for cover before it started to rain and didn’t take a pic.

Bought 9 icecreams, 2 fish and chips,2 fishcake and chips, 4 sausage and chips, 2 lots of bread and butter, 2cups of tea, 2 bottles of diet coke, 4 fruit shoots and a calipo iced lolly! All in 2days lol! Cannot fault this place on quality and prices. I would definitely come back here and eat again when I'm back in Skegness. We ate outside! Staff work their balls off! People need to learn how to use bins!!! The amount of left over food and rubbish that people left lying around was disgusting. Yes your on holiday and yes someone probably is paid to pick it up but why the hell should they!! Bins are dotted around all over.

I was brow beat into going to Skegness at peak season , I give into easy ! We arrived at lunch time , we parked by the boating lake so decided to eat at the Boating Lake Cafe nearby , wife opted for cheese baguette , daughter chicken mayo baguette , me chips of course , your in Skegness for crying out loud . The ladies received there baguettes immediately , we found a dirty table to sit out , no choice , two available both dirty ! The ladies started on there food whilst I waited on my chips n cheese . On unwrapping her chicken baguette she noticed a lot of dark meat which she started to pick off but , and this is the kick in the pants it wasn't dark meat it was an inch and a half of breast bone !!! I returned to the counter and caught the attention of the young pleasant girl who served us , showed her the offending article , she looked genuinely shocked , took the baguette off me and scurried around the back , 70 seconds later she came back and asked me if I would like another one ! I couldn't say NO any faster , I opted for the chips beans and fish cake as a replacement . My daughter didnt find any bones in that meal . I don't like to create a scene but could not let this pass , I thought whilst i was eating my mediocre chips , I thought maybe a manager or owner would approach us and apologise ! I sent the ladies off to the lake to take in the sunshine and approached the same counter and same server and asked if I could speak to owner or whom ever is in charge , she shouted a name towards a surly man sweating over the chip fryer who acknowledged me , I repeated the bone story and he replied " we replaced your food " and " we will try and make sure this doesn't happen again " . TRY !! He answered my question that all food is prepared on the premises ! After 60 seconds of more to,ing and fro ing I was losing the will to live . In hindsight did I over react , it's only a chicken bone , you can't choke and die on one of them can you ??????????.

We had the fish and chips and scampi and chips deal including chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and tea. The fish was fine but when the scampi came it was burnt. They did cook me some more but the second lot was little better. The chips and mushy peas were fine. They also do ice creams at £1 for a double cone.

Bought 2 regular cod and a large chips, big disappointment, the cod was the flattest fish I have ever had, nothing like the chunky cod as described in the reviews. Chips were ok. Will not be going back.

Don't go here. Prices were absolutely ridiculous for the amount of food you get. Got some chips for dinner and I'm not joking it must have been less then a hand full of chips. Waste of money, left hungry and went somewhere else. SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING BETTER.

Altho my fish chips and mushy peas were nice and hot my friend had the pie, we asked if it was homemade, it didn’t appear to us to be homemade, altho hot more like a pukka pie, poor filling and the plate was a wash with thick gravy.

This small but well placed cafe is just brilliant. Dog friendly (with a free biscuit for your pooch if you're lucky), people friendly and with friendly staff this is easily misable as just another cafe on the front but it's definitely worth a stop. We were back and forth during our two week stay - they do an awesome cup of tea, the crab meat sandwich was lovely, the cakes and scones were delicious. Make sure you stop for a cuppa, a cold drink, a beer, some delicious seafood or a cheeky slice of lemon drizzle cake!
