The Dolphin in Stockport

Ordered from the Dolphin recently on UberEats with a 40% off discount on first £20.. We ordered a salt and pepper box, a portion of salt and pepper nuggets, a fish cake, portion of chips, curry sauce and child's fish and chips. And 2 cans. To start with the takeaway bag was ripped (thankfully the driver told me) and also the drinks were bagged with the food. Why people put cold cans next to hot food I'll never know?. .Makes the drinks warm and food cold its just daft. Onto the scran.. The salt and pepper box was decent. A fair amount of shredded chicken, popcorn chicken was nice and the nuggets were really good. Everything was well seasoned with a nice amount of onions and peppers and the salt wasn't too harsh like at a lot of places. The salt and pepper chips were pretty good. The standard portion of chips was okay. Had worse but definitely had much better from several other chippys in Reddish. The curry sauce was a nice thickness and consistency, with a subtle heat. Okay flavour. also a decent size tub. The fish cake was a generous size and had a nice flavour however it just disintegrated and fell apart in my hand every time I tried to hold it. It was really floppy.. The child's fish and chips meal was a decent size for a kid/ adult snack with about 4 little mini fillets however the fish was absolutely dreadful. Some of the worst fish I've ever had. The batter was really soggy and mushy and the fish was mushy it was just really unpleasant. I could understand if it travelled for miles in the takeaway bag but it was literally delivered up the road 5 mins max to Houldsworth Square area. Absolutely terrible fish. Overall a mix of decent, average and woeful. All in delivered for around £20 with promotion I'd argue just about acceptable and good value for money if everything was good - which it wasn't. Without the uber discount would have been £30+ I would have been very upset spending that for the quality on offer. 6/10 based on uber discount 4/10 if paying full price. Wouldn't rush back.

This is the second time we ordered from them and disappointed us again as there is always hair in the food. And when we go back they shout and swear at us saying it our hair that we put in the food but it’s not. Be careful when you order as there’s hair and there could be more things you could find in the food, the owner of this place the guy with the glasses, he doesn’t apologise either but he swore at us !!!!!

Still as good as ever, always busy, proper decent chippy fayre, love it

Great chip shop good price good food. Spot on

Everything tastes like old dirty oil,staff rude and don't give you a chance to look at the menu without tutting away impatiently and the place is very dirty and needs a good clean.

Great fish chips and peas is abit pricey cost £10 for regular fish chips and peas

Even sing in the shop very friendly

Always great food but don't use uber eats to pic up from hear I live in burnage and he decided to go through lonsight to get to me needless to say food stone cold when it got hear

The best value chippy around, large portions and superbly cooked, great they have gluten free options. A must when in Southsea.

Usually the best chippy, but today was poor fish wasn't usual quality, and both the fish and the chips were taken straight out of the fryer, and put in the box without draining, just making a very greasy mess.

Last two orders wrong ,yet correct on receipt happened twice, ill not order again

Ordered for delivery they used to get it right last two times wrong order 4 items can't be hard to get right but once again wrong not be using again

Cannot fault the Dolphin. Food is always of a really good standard.

Been dying for salt and pepper chicken and chips since I became gluten free and haven’t been able to get it anywhere so was so happy when I found this place. Food was amazing and great gluten free options!

I went here Friday evening. And I had the best food ever. I not joking this place amazing. Give it a try. You will be amazing

Really don't understand why people think this place is so nice, I tried for the second time and was highly disappointed again the fish has a crispy batter yet the fish itself is mushy and greasy. In general the food is very overpriced and not great

Fri 17 Aug 18:45 Just average fish and chips, we were expecting much better after reading the reviews and seeing the queues when passing. Two fish, regular chips, small curry sauce £16! Staff friendly, service excellent they do a lot of Deliveroo orders. If this is the best in the area then rest must be pretty dire. Last visit I'm afraid.

Used to be the best Chippy in the area. What’s gone wrong?? Poor quality food, unfriendly staff and WAY overpriced. I will NEVER buy anything from this shop again.

I'm sorry, but charging £6.90 for chips and gravy is beyond the pale. That's taking "scam the customer" far too far.

best chippy for miles, a bit pricy but what chippy isn't these days.

Best fish & chips we've had in a long time

Great chippy but twice my fish has been overcooked.

Good fish & chip shop best around

It's a local restaurant where people line up to get takeout. There is no hall. If you order fish and chips, they give you a piece of fried fish that is almost as big as your arm and a generous amount of potato chips. The staff are very friendly and passionate about their work. I asked a few questions about the menu and he explained it to me without even bothering me. We also turn on the live camera and film the ordering and cooking process. It seems like a restaurant with a lot of pride. The food tasted good, the fried fish felt a little greasy for me, but it was clean and tasty. suggestion!

The fish was worst I've ever eaten,didn't taste like fish ,swam in grease ,batter solid and tasted burned, for the price really thought it would be something good but that backfired, never again will I go there.

Best gluten free chippy in Greater Manchester! Amazing GF cod & GF gravy. Quick delivery and overall worth it. 10/10

Great good, great staff, only chippy worth visiting for that Friday chippy tea.

Excellent chippy with a good range of food covering traditional fish and chips through to specials. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Recommend a visit.

This place is a treasure and a go to when visiting the UK, and Manchester.

Prices have gone up again and so have the attitudes of the staff,very very rude and impatient,it's pointless having a menu on the wall because they don't give you more than 10 seconds to choose something,chips were like scraps and the fish was swimming in oil and the peas tasted like the 29p ones from a supermarket,this place has gone dramatically down hill and won't get any more custom off me.

Not been here for a while but you can’t fault the service or the fish and chips.

Had my first visit yesterday. Friendly staff, clean shop and fish to die for .. will be back again certainly

Absolutely love this place food is always fresh and being coeliac the gluten free menu is always prepared in a separate area.

Chip's have gone up again guy's! Now for a large bag £3.95!!! 😱

First time ordering from here. I tried the cod with large chips & peas. The fish is of a medium size however the batter is quite thin & not all that crunchy, it was also pretty greasy & so were the chips. The peas were ok. Everything was wrapped separate with the chips in a polystyrene container. I was expecting it to all be in a cardboard box as per the pics. Overall id say its pretty average. Delivery was on time & the fee via Uber is cheap at 0.29p but with a service charge of £2.14. Cod £7.50 Large Peas £2.20 Large Chips £4.50

We asked for Cod and were given what we believe was Haddock. If it was in fact Cod , it was overccoked, chewy and tasteless. We paid £21 for two portions of 'Cod' chips and peas and although the portion sizes were good, the fish was absolutely awful. This used to be one of the best chippies in the area but now it has to be one of the worst ans very overpriced. AVOID !!!

We went last night( admittedly we only go now and again, once every month or so) and for about the third time I asked for cod and was given haddock, part of which was overcooked, chips were okay will be a long time before we go again, very disappointed.

Great fish and chip expierence.

Best gluten free Chippy ever!!! Love that they have a selection of gluten free food on the menu!! Delicious

I have an issue with the menu on Uber eats.. it states large beans ,large peas.large gravy. No option for medium or small… I rang the shop to question this and was told the large portion is now served in a small carton,, which when asked why said it was the company that had change it…with cost of living nowadays I wanted to order a steak pudding,,steak pie,,and chips to share with a large gravy.. which wouldn’t have enough gravy for two meals… please be aware of this when ordering

Fantastic fish and chips gluten free.

Best chippy in the area that's for sure. Just remember when ordering to make your meal less soggy, ask them to give you your mushy peas separate rather than their default choice of chucking them in the same tray the fish and chips

One Word!! Gorgeous ** Fish & Chips. ( Chinese Curry & Peas are amazing too)

Food ok , theblady who served me had a bad attitude with everyone, including myself , won't be returning

The fish and chips were gorgeous very tasty

The best chippy in Greater Manchester. Excellent service and excellent food. Worth travelling to.

It is very good quality food and short time waiting for it, thank you!

Disgusting food, grease pouring off the food. Won't go back again

Best in area. Very friendly and nice food.

Quite expensive , but the food was lovely.

Great Chippy. Food is always fantastic and they always handle our big orders really well.

Heard good reviews of the gluten free food from here. Ordered on the phone, my partner came in to collect it and was met with a hostile attitude from the staff because their equipment was down and she just kept shouting at him before he could explain that he had put in an order which he could see was on the side waiting for us to collect. Fair enough if you’ve had a bad night because your equipment broke but there’s no need to take it out on customers. When he tried to explain we put an order over the phone for a gluten free she apparently kept shouting at him “WE CANT DO YOUR FOOD ORDER CAN WE IF OUR EQUIPMENTS NOT WORKING” and then kept asking him if it’s Uber eats when he told you twice it wasn’t. Try actually just listening to your customers rather than ranting at them: Won’t be returning.

An actual decent chippy. A rare thing today!

Really good fish n chips. Done proper.

Fantastic fish and chips tried Few in the area and they don’t get close.

Best chips and curry I've had in a while 👌

Best fish n chips can't be beaten The chilli is amazing and the salt n pepper chips are too...

Great fish n chips and good value for money

They have stopped by far my favorite meal deal. I still miss large fish and chips meal. It's no longer available when I visited last time. Other than that I really like the fries.

Been a loyal customer from the dolphin for over 33 years and Absolutley love this place, best fish and chips ever. However ordered our fish and chips this evening via Uber eats to have the most terrible service from the staff ever. I am astonished by the lack of care and service given by the staff and this has given me a terrible view of a place I have been so loyal to for so long. We had items missing from our large order. We waited an hour for this delivery but I wasn’t too bothered with that being as it is Good Friday and the food is always so lovely. However on receipt of our order we we noticed items missing, I immediately rang the dolphin to be told it’s not there problem and that they can’t leave the store and to take it up with Uber. Firstly Uber collect a sealed packet from yourself and there was no apology for those items missing which was YOUR FAULT. Secondly there was no adjustments or considerations of how we can get the remaining items but just simply told nothing to do with you, it is in fact completely YOUR ERROR being as Uber do not package this up themselves. The customer service is shocking and completely ruined our evening. I appreciate your busy on one of the busiest nights of the year but for a customer to be told ‘not my problem’ after paying for items which Were not in the delivery is completely out of order and a disgrace. We have recently read a lot of bad reviews on local Facebook pages however thought this to be wrong as we have always been treated so well. If this continues all customers will end up going else we’re and enjoy the money you took from us without giving us our products. Many thanks One unhappy customer

Lovely old school chippy! Friendly, helpful staff, got myself a Mothers' Day chippy tea and it was absolutely delicious. Would go again in a heartbeat!

I always have the same. The chips are not bad, the fish is lovely, I have it well done and lightly battered. We go there regularly.

The food is absolutely amazing, just wish brunette girl was still there x

Award winning chippy, always queues but worth it

Best chippy around...beautiful fish and chips

Good chippy, does get busy, staff are ok some are chatty others just ignorant but I’m not there for a chin wag anyway back to the food yeah great I like the salt and pepper chicken they do good marks from me

It's one of the very few fish and chip shops in Manchester who have gluten free fish, good enough for coeliacs. It was delicious!

Great fish and chips just wish they would open the restaurant next to it

This chippy has gone down the pan and is so expensive the chips taste of raw potatoes and the peas are like rubber bullets I find the cottage chippy a bit further down the best chippy very friendly too

Superb fish and chips. Freindly and very efficient staff. No.long waits for order to be prepared. Not expensive. Highly recommended.

The rice was stoggy, nit enough curry sauce. A complete let down. Had to go home and have jam on toast. Never again.

Used to be the best chippy in the area a long time ago, still decent but gone down hill the last few years

This was a great chippy but I feel they've taken their eye off the ball. We were really disappointed with the fish & chips. The batter wasn't cooked right through which made the fish soggy. Not cheap either.

Gluten free menu gets a thumbs up from me

Having been getting food from this chippy for many years, today I received the worst service ever. I asked for part of my order and before I could complete the sentence i was told how much to pay and then asked 'anything else' - parrot style and without even listening. The place was emply, lots of staff and no need to rush an order or a customer. Never visiting here again. There are two other chippy within 400 metres - I wne to one of them instead. It would seem that staff recuitment policy has hit an all time low.

Use the dolphin as they’re local to us and offer gluten free food. Normally the gluten free portion is clearly marked as such but got our recent takeaway home to find no labels and we had to make a (very risky) guess to make sure I didn’t end up really ill. Didn’t think much of the attitude of the staff member who served me. The portions were decent but the chips were soggy and the fish was dry.

Fab first visit today lovely gluten free chips curry sauce n gluten free battered sausage.will definetly call in again when next in the area.

We had ordered at hungry dolphin chips and crumbed prawns chips were nice but crumbed prawns were a let down. I'm used to the fresh large local prawns used at la Beach, these were 3.00 each for a frozen processed product.

Great gluten free fish and chips. Always a queue... So must be good 😁

after a mix up with my order this was soon rectified when i spoke to them arrived promptly will order again

Good and gluten free food too!!!!

This is probably one of the best traditional chippies around. I come from Brighton and we will know how famous Brighton is for its fish and chips. But these guys are better than anything I had. The chips are just the best, crispy, fresh and even when you cover them in curry sauce (which is pretty good) they remain crispy. Staff are really nice, efficient and friendly. It gets busy though, which is to be expected considering how good the food is. Highly recommended, very, very!

I ordered fish and chips for two for delivery by ubereats and it never turned up. When we phoned half and hour after the stated delivery time we were told that the driver couldn't find our location. We live on the main road to Stockport and find that explanation unbelievable. The response we got was to phone another number to get a refund. but no replacement order. This level of service is totally unacceptable.

Best chippy around the area, brilliant staff and reputation, Good banter great fish.

Time after time The Dolphin delivers great quality food. Fish and chips are hot and fresh and although it's always busy, they serve very quickly. It's great that that this place has kept up a great reputation for many years.

I'm Coeliac and for any other Coeliacs wondering; this place does Gluten-Free fish and chips and it's absolutely brilliant.

English chippy, tasty food. Good value.

Went to this chippy for the first time yesterday, excellent and delicious food friendly staff, would highly recommend

Great fish & chips that we enjoyed every week but with increasing prices, like everything else, and no increasing income we may curtail that to every other week.

Great little traditional chippy. Parking outside.

Food fabulous Staff very friendly and lovely especially the boss Man ( small with glasses ) so funny makes me laugh every time !

Asked for fish, chips and peas. The peas however were thrown all over the fish and chips with no care whatsoever. And fish was very wet and soggy! They have now lost a loyal customer

If you like your fish and chips, then this is the place to for that and you will thoroughly enjoy every minute of it......this is definitely worth more visits to this place

The best fish and chip shop in Manchester!! 100% recommended

Good chippy. Very busy. Do gluten free food as well.

Not had fish and chips for a while but looking after elderly mum so went tonight to her fav chippy What can i say fab service great fish brill peas, curry and chips, staff so polite efficient and organised despite being mad busy.
