The Cottage Bakery - Hawes Side Lane in Blackpool

This is a restaurant to avoid! The outside seating is filthy covered in bird poop and no shade at all. The food was awful I ate a 3rd of my fish cake and did not touch the chips which looked and smelt like the day befores warmed up! The scampi was more batter than scampi and it was over cooked bordering on a dark brown and was hard and full of oil. The fish and chips was much the same although its batter was bright yellow, very oily and 2 x batter to fish. The lady serving at the till was rude, unhelpful and I am sure she hates her job as she showed no pleasure in serving. Please don't take my word for it if you don't believe the food could be that bad, try it and leave a review maybe that will shake them up.

Ordered Chinese at 5.30 in evening, by 7 pm still nothing after phoning once and being told it was next one out and the traffic was bad! At 7pm we got the rudest Chinese man ever on phone who said we would have to wait! really after 90mins! If you haven't got the driver's don't take the orders!

We were visiting Blackpool and looking for somewhere to stop and have authentic fish and chips! Popped in here for lunch and the portions were small. Fish was ok but would say a medium portion is small. The consistency of the chips just wasn’t right. Charged for ketchup when sitting in (under why for take outs but when you are spending for a family meal sitting in then it should be included). Popped to the loo and went through part of the kitchen (with fridge/freezers) to an outdoor toilet which had only cold water and no way of drying your hands. Avoid!

Went this evening ..We had chips curry sauce and chips and gravy . Both good size portions . The gravy was really good and the curry sauce was the best I’ve had at a chippy . Staff really friendly too. The two gents that served us . Thank you
