Either takeaway or sitting in then you will not be disappointed. The food quality is exceptional time and time again. The restaurant can be pricey but that is compensated with by a nice atmosphere, polite staff and generous portions of delicious food.

Elite Sleaford used to be very good. Good food and friendly and efficient staff. The latest batch of Front of House staff give the very strong impression that not only do they not want to be there but they don’t want you there either. I think a lot of the customer facing staff are P/T and don’t have a great deal of interest in the longevity of the business, so long term doesn’t matter to them but it should matter to the owners and full time staff. I suggest they have a very critical look at who they are employing.

Decided to have fish & chips last night, was excited too, placed my order (x2 large chips, x1 battered sausage, x1 large fish, x3 curry sauce). The chips were soggy (no vinegar with order), tasteless and full of eyes (big black spots on chips). Fish batter once again soggy and full of grease, in fact grease was the only flavour, curry sauce...well where do I begin. The curry was a lukewarm watery mess, it tasted like a watered down version of the powdered curry you can get from supermarkets (it was awful). Safe to say I nor my family will ever ever ever step foot in this so called "fish and chips" shop ever again.

Brought my parents for lunch on Tuesday, their first 'out out ' trip for over 18 months. Absolutely briiliant, i called to enquire whether we needed to book, as times have changed. It was optional, but we decided to do. Good parking, resteraunt was an amazing temperature, and from the minute we walked in we felt "safe" . The waitress was so obliging and patient with my parents. The food itself was to die for, piping hot, new potatoes, portion size was ample, my only disappoint was we didnt have enough room for the gorgeous looking puds! Just means we WILL be back , and i know for sure my parent's who live more local than me, will definately be back, be it in the resteraunt ot take away.

Having eaten in at the Ruskington restaurant on 20th May 2021 when we had the best fish and chips ever we decided to stop here for a takeaway Friday 16th July. What a mistake. My Rock was fine. The batter on my partners haddock was soggy. The chips were anaemia, floppy and greasy. The next day we were all (dog included as he had some haddock) were sick. We’ll give the Ruskington restaurant another try but will never use these for a takeaway again.

A really good sit down chippy? More like a restaurant! Very swish! Lots of parking. Waitress service, being lead to your table, just like a restaurant. The first thing that grabs you is the high level of hygiene. You don't stick to these tables that are already laid out. There's a Specials board even! Alcohol and puddings! Wow! My levels of expectations are high. Waitress suggests catch of the day though I go for the haddock, chips and peas while my mate has pie chips and beans. Food arrives, piping hot as you'd expect, peas and beans served separately. Soft drinks in glasses. We're riding our bikes out weekly and try to visit the most highly recommend local fishnchips but just a little greasy for my liking and that's just personal taste and the chips could have been a little bit crispier though the peas were some of the best I've had. My mates pie was not a Pukka pie though he said it was delicious, possibly homemade. Overall this is a must to visit and we will certainly be back.

I was recommended to this chippy by some friends, my first visit there I was pleased with my haddock and chips, and the service was friendly and efficients, my second visit the chips were awful, old and dried out, my third visit chips were better but not brilliant at all, my fourth and final visit the chips were again awful and I took the trouble this time to see how many chips were in the container in which they are kept hot, and it was loaded, so it looks like the chips are bulk fried and first servings are lucky and get good chips but as the pile sits there drying out any late comers before the next batch is thrown in gets duff chips, I must have been lucky to be first on my first visit. Each time I visited I had haddock and I have no complaints with the fish which is fried to order, just a pity they cannot do the same with the chips, I shall not be returning and would not under any circumstances recommend the shop to anyone, as I firmly believe that there is no need to serve old chips, when they can be batch part fried and quickly fried to completion on demand, as I did in the chip shop that I ran very successfully some years ago.

Nice clean resturant the fish and peas were piping hot but the chips were small dry and chewy. Another couple complained before we did and we were all told that they were aware of the poor quality of potatoes. As the chips were not fit for eating it would have been good of the company to take of the cost of the chips but no offer came. At £24 for the meal of fish peas bread and tea it was very expensive.

Had some of the best fish and chips ever. It was a busy Friday night so there was a slightly longer wait than usual but it was definitely worth it. I ordered a large haddock and unlike some restaurants, this was a huge piece of fish. The batter was light and the whole meal was delicious. Not cheap at £10 for fish, chips and beans but probably reasonable for the amount you got. Look forward to visiting again.

What made it worse was one of the children had chicken nuggets, she bit into one and said it tasted nasty, on examining the nugget there was something inside which was not chicken!

Esta noche, por segunda vez en tres visitas a elite en Sleaford, pescado de mi esposa estaba seriamente mal cocida. Optamos por llevar, y cuando ella abrió el contenedor encararon por lo que parecía ser un "mono". aborto El pescado estaba descuidada, húmeda y totalmente apetecible. Claramente, el actual tiene sólo una freidora pescado conocidos con habilidad, pasando y quizás debería perseguir una carrera en un campo diferente (con cocina) diametralmente desconectados. En una nota positiva, el director se ocupó con el problema muy profesionalmente, pero reconoció mi esposa como habiendo tenido el mismo problema en el pasado reciente, y estaba avergonzado por este último evento. Por desgracia, cada establecimiento merece una "segunda oportunidad", pero no una tercera, así que no volveremos en el futuro.

It is such a shame that good food can be spoiled by unrealistic pricing and poor (ignorant) waitressing staff. I don't expect to be referred to as "luvvie" throughout the meal. I find it exceptionally rude to lean across one diner to serve another especially during eating. The way we were informed of the extra charge was unacceptable, I did not need every table in the room to know we were being charged extra. Although the food was good I can not recommend the service nor the lack of value for money.

Nice looking restaurant and comfortable. The fish was quite nice but rather small, the batter was lovely and crisp. but the chips left a lot to be desired, more like frozen chips and small portion sizes too which would have been understandable if they were new potatoes but if not frozen they were old potatoes that had gone soft. Staff were pleasant enough. The bread rolls were past their best and rather dry, 1 had no spread in it. Puddings were all nice except for the Brownie, it was over done and uneatable. All in all not worth the money, and it was the most expensive fish and chip restaurant I have visited for a long while. the batter was the star. None of us would go there again, I felt guilty taking my Mum there for her birthday meal.

This is just the best fish and chips I have ever had. We were seated quickly and staff so friendly. The choices on the menu are amazing. Everything was fresh and hot and it was a real pleasure to eat here. Will I be back? Yes, yes, yes and wait for my next visit

I was last here before I left the RAF in 2007 and visited this week. I am pleased but not surprised to see that it has maintained the high quality of the food and service and gone from strength to strength. Still the best fish and chips in the county bar none.

We have been to The Eiite restaurant on numerous occasions and have always found the food and service to be exceptional. The food is tasty, hot and well cooked, and we have never had to wait for a table or waited any longer than 15 minutes for food. One of the best places to eat in Sleaford.

This fish restaurant is well worth a visit. The staff were extremely busy but made us feel really welcome. The fish batter was really crispy & light. The cod was the best I have had in a chippy and the portions are huge. Please be patient as everything is cooked to order and at the same time they are also trying to keep up with the takeaway as well. We will definitely visit again when next in Sleaford. At the moment there is a large car park alongside the restaurant but it does get busy.

Though there were over 70 in our party we had first class service, meals came out very rapidly on piping hot plates, and were absolutely delicious. Light crispy batter on succulent haddock with chunky chips that were equally as crispy.

It really was a disappointment! We went for a traditional meal of haddock and chips, and we're looking forward to it. We usually eat at an Elite sister restaurant at nearby Ruskington. That is not open on a Monday, hence our visit to Sleaford. There all similarity ended.We entered the restaurant and stood for five minutes in the doorway. Not a member of staff to be seen, so we eventually chose a table and sat down. Eventually after a further ten minutes a waitress appeared. She apologised saying she had not seen us enter. We were given the menus and ordered haddock, chips and peas along with a pineapple fritter, bread and butter and a pot of tea for two.The tea was delivered quickly, but there was no extra water and the amount of milk in the jug was miniscule, not enough for two cups each. On sight we asked for a second jug! The fish and chips arrived and were really nice, but there was no bed and butter. And, more important, no staff in sight to ask. We ate our fish and chips which fortunately were very good, and decided we would like a sweet. We waited for half an hour but couldn't catch the eye of a staff member. To be fair, staff members were few and far between!After thirty minutes we cut our losses and left. The basic commodity is very acceptable but the management need to make adjustments to their staff levels and introduce some intensive staff training. Really was a shame.

Very clean. Staff friendly and make you feel welcome, even though they are rushed off their feet. Very professional. Fish cooked to order so lovely and fresh. This is the place to go. I won't use any other fish shop in Sleaford. Well done

Have had both eat in and take away Fish and Chips from Elite and have been impressed on both occasions.Our meals have been top notch both times, really nice chips, not too greasy and with just about the right amount of crunch and fullness at the same time. As well as nice fish the pie and sausage have also been good.Service times were good both for eating in and take away and the prices are reasonable. Higher than the average but more than worth it for the quality.

This place used to be excellent. Not any more and shopped there for the last time. The past twice I have been the chips have been awful and last time the batter on the sausages was obviously overcooked or reheated. The atmosphere is the shop is awful with whom I presume to be manager cooking at the back screaming at his employee. All the decent staff seem to have vanished and just appears to be two of them working now. Its an embarrassment and staff member constantly being belittled in front of customers who don't know where to look. Constant begging on Facebook as to how they can improve and they want to know what customers want...well a better non toxic atmosphere, fresh food cooked to order and bigger portions back as they were...a management course on how to treat your employees wouldn't go a miss either!

We have been regular customers at Fish King and must comment on Saturday's food received. It was well below the standard normally received, in way chips tastied strange, and vinegar present, when not requested. Furthermore, the fish had limited flavour compared to normal, and finally, the pie pastry was extremely hard. I hope these comments are taken on board so the standard is returned to normal.
