Visited today 11/09 on my way passing through at lunchtime, arrived about 10 mins before they closed, checked and they were happy to cook me a piece of fish. The couple were friendly and we had a good chat whilst my food was cooking. The fish, chips and mushy peas were excellent, hot and tasty, I'd thoroughly recommend a visit. I will definitely be visiting again when passing through and it is open. Thanks again to the owners it was much appreciated.

We recently had the pleasure of fish and chips at the Jolly Friar in Alford, and what a trip down memory lane it was! The fish and chips were so crisp, you could hear the crunch over the wireless. The fish was flakier than the ration book promises, and the chips—well, they were the perfect shade of golden brown, just like a freshly pressed ARP warden's uniform. Now, let's talk about the spam fritters. It's not every day you come across a delicacy that reminds you of both the best and worst of the Blitz. These little beauties took me right back to the days when spam was king, and tinned peaches were a luxury! The fritters were fried to perfection, with just the right amount of grease to make you feel like you're doing your bit for the war effort. Just be sure to bring a healthy appetite and a sense of humour, because after a plate of their fish and chips, you'll be more stuffed than an evacuee's suitcase.

Although fish and other food items are OK, (not brilliant), the chips let this shop down as they contain bits of chips with hardened skins and hardened small cuts with sharp points, (inedible). Must be a way of cutting chips better than this and preserving without getting too stale. Forming a queue in the rain is not much fun.

I popped in on the off chance as i was staying in the area. Another English town thats sadly become run down, i was expecting much. But not only were the fish and chips the best ive ever had (and ive eaten loads in my life!), the staff were humorous and let me join in like i was a local. They cheered me up no end! The place is run efficiently, safely and hygenically. Seriously, im tempted to drive from suffolk to lincoln regularly just to go here!

We have found a lovely chippy in alford, I like it that they fry your fish when you require it, every time I've be there the food has been nicely cooked,I tried a Yorkshire fish cake if you go there try one 👍, the staff are really helpful and pleasent, would diffently recommend to others.we have been coming here now for 2 years lovely staff food excellent as normal, well worth checking it out. 👌we're in our 3rd year coming here now What more can I say, still as good as when we first stepped through the door.A brand new year there is always a friendly greeting and a chatter to there customers which is nice. I'm really a cod fan but now I've got the taste of having gravy too only the once over Christmas but differently will have again. Really nice chippy the best for me and hubby. 👌 looking forward to another excellent year at our favourite chippy. Even through the prices have gone up a little the quality and quantity are still the same. Lovely.

Called in for a fish cake butty for lunch cost £6.20 for 2 and they were the worst I have ever eaten. Extremely small and thin slices of potato with next to no fish in the middle. They looked as if they had been recooked. They kept salt and vinegar behind counter so you couldn't put your own on had to have what they gave you. Definitely won't be back

I don't live locally to this chip shop, but always stop by for fish and chips if I am in the area or passing. I have never been disappointed by the quality and freshness of the food. I usually get fish and chips, but have had some other items from the menu which have been to a similar quality. The prices are very reasonable and the service is quick. Totally recommend this chippie if you get a chance to visit.

We visit the area 4/5 a year. This Christmas we stayed in a glamping pod at a local fruit farm. We always call in to the Jolly Friar at least once. The food is always hot and freshly cooked. You can preorder by phone and they now accept debit card which makes things far easier. If there is one thing we hate it's chip shops that cook mountains of food on the off chance someone comes in to buy. The Jolly Friar is NOT one of those establishments. Give me a 5/10 minute wait anytime.

Amazing Festive Sunday lunch today. I had the nut toast which was scrumptious and my partner had the pork loin dinner which included his favourite- crispy crackling. Vegetables were cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings were the best I’ve had outside of Yorkshire! Staff are super friendly and helpful and the fire was roaring which kept us feeling cosy.

Probably one of the best places to get breakfast in Skegess: The food quality is amazing. You may have to wait a little while for your food but it is a small restaurant so there isn't too much staff. The Builder's breakfasts, Beans on toast, as well as other foods served here are, like i did mention, great in quality and also taste really good for a small restaurant. I don't think you can go wrong at Vincent's. I recommend going here, it's a great restaurant
