The Jolly Fryer in South Lakeland

Said it was open online, was in fact closed

A great chippy everything freshly made which is worth the little wait. They also will take an order over the phone. Best chippy around. Delicious

Very friendly, cheap for nowadays (£7.9 for f + c) and tasty. £1 for sauces aswell -curry, mushy, gravy e.t.c.

Great Fish and Chips, is cash only though.

I do love a good fish and chips. Unfortunately, these were OK, but not perfect. Everything was cooked fresh in front of me. The chips were good and the fish was fresh but the batter was thick and uncooked on the inside. Disappointing. I also think they should change the name, "Jolly Fryer". He wasn't at all Jolly! As soon as I approached the door he shouted "Any fish?" And that was about it. Definitely not "jolly". I won't be going back. (Also posted to my food blog on Instagram @AbbeyKing16)

We’re visiting the area from London and we always love to find a proper local, high quality chippy. And we found it here at the Jolly Fryer. Authentic and honest customer service. We ordered haddock, chips, mushy peas and a jumbo sausage to share. What a delicious meal! The chips, had that perfect yellow mealy flesh that gives off a sweet flavour profile. Honestly, this place is legit and if you are ever around Kendal you really must come by for at least a bag of chips! Bring cash and support these lovely local businesses.

Fabulous food! Fresh cooked cod with the best lightest batter we've ever had. Great chips and curry sauce too! Extremely welcoming and friendly. Lovely and clean. Best we've ever had and a great price too! We were staying on the Camping and Caravanning Club Site 5 minutes away and would definitely recommend. Thank you 😊

What a hidden gem! This place is extremely clean, has great customer service and some of the best fish and chips you'll ever have. All priced very reasonably too which is hard to find these days. 100% will be visiting everytime we are at the lakes

We rang ahead and placed order to pick up. Food wad ready on arrival. Great customer service. We had haddock, chips and curry sauce. It was beautiful. Big portion and very reasonably priced. If in area wouldn't go to any other chip shop even if in surrounding areas worth the extra bit of travel. Note it is cash only so make sure to take some with you. Parking rigbt outside and plenty of bestiful spots around to stop and eat.

Popped into this chippy today. These were the most delicious chips I've had in years! Will definitely be back! Five stars!

Incorrect opening hours. Drove out my way to visit and found it closed.

Great home made fish cakes delish can recomend

What a superb chippy. Dropped in while driving through the area, looking for dinner. Great friendly welcome, the chips were cooked to order, and they have steak and kidney puddings and mushy peas to die for. The fish was superb, that my wife had. Sat in the sun outside the church, watching the sun play on the hills. Would certainly call here again.

The most delicious fish and chips. Freshly cooked cod in a crispy batter. Great chips; no grease/oil, just perfect fried potatoes. We also had mushy peas these were lovely - just the right consistency and full of flavour. You can park outside or at the store round the corner. If you phone in your order, there’s no waiting. The staff are so smiley, chatty and friendly too.

Wow! Absolutely spot on. Really excellent in every way. Faultless!

Cooked to order. Great service and food as usual.

Good fish and chips every time, also very friendly staff!🐟

Love this chippy nice staff good food

Just called in when passing. We had fish and chips that were fried fresh and were delicious. Served by a lovely friendly lady. Thankyou

Best Fish and Chips on the area. Really friendly staff and food always fresh and cookedvas we like it. Handy to park outside and whilst a good turnover of customers there's rarely a long queue.

Best fish and chips I've had for ages

Great food and so cheap. Try the fish cakes....amazing!!!

Good food, good prices, cash only.

Great little chippy, lovely food, lovely service.

What an amazing chippy, 3 beautiful Haddock & chips tonight kept this holiday party very happy. Crispiest batter, tasty fish & brilliant service with a smile.

Try Daves home made Fish Cake...a meal in itself and should win prizes.

Called into here for an early evening fish & chip supper. Not that appealing from exterior, but decided to give it a go after seeing the good reviews. Well good points were that freshly cooked & large portions (we shared a large cod & chips) personally I found it very oily for me. Ok but not great. Perhaps they had a different fryer on the day of our visit.

So yum! No pictures unfortunately no pictures because we gobbled it up so quickly but ordered the scampu with battered haggis- very filling and acquired taste but I loved it!, cheesy chips and 2 battered sausages :)

Great little chippy well cook good portions friendly staff.

Definitely the best chippy around the kendal area, excellent quality and value for money.

Good fish and chips. Can't complain at all

Best in thecate felt COVID safe

Personal realmente amable. Pescado fresco y sabroso y excelentes patatas fritas. Una verdadera joya. Fácil de aparcar cerca y hay una zona de juegos para niños al otro lado de la calle para entretener a los niños mientras espera. Qué más quieres. Perfecto ?

Amazeballs one if the best chippies ever

A menudo conduzco desde Kendal para comprarle pescado y patatas fritas, ya que siempre han sido deliciosos, recién hechos y con una buena relación calidad-precio.

One of the best fish n chips in the area,

Best fish and chips in the area. Simple Ask my daughter. We left the same comment 6 years ago.

Old fashioned chip shop Just like when you were a kid (1970s) Fish freshly cooked (order when entering) chips are to die for and you must try the Cumberland sausage Gravy thick and tasty Staff are friendly ( You can see where they get their name)

road side so reasonably easy to find, as said parking is road side, very good fish and chips but a large menu of food

We’ve walked from Kendal to Staveley many times but usually pass through Burneside much earlier than lunch time. Today we were a bit later because our new puppy 🐕 is a bit slower. Our reward was to find this cracking little chippy. It’s just beside the Jolly Anglers pub and easily missed. Really super fresh fish and very reasonably priced. We had haddock and it was one of the freshest I’ve tasted. The staff were charming. A local wee hotspot so please do drop in for a treat and avoid the usual options in the more touristy parts of this area of the Lakes.

Visited here whilst seeing family in Kendal. Good quality food, cooked fresh and not greasy. Would reccomend.

The chips are full of flavour and smell lovely! Been visiting for years and the staff are always polite and friendly. Portions sizes are amazing!

Called whilst trekking the Dales Way. I had a large fish (ask for it) and a cup of coffee. Reasonable pricing (expensive in a lot of fish oyles these days) and well worth it. The fish was cooked fresh and I've not had one as nice in years. Batter was good and the folk behind the counter were great. Even asked if I wanted my water bottle topping up for my walk. If your doing the Dales Way, or near enough in a car... Try them out. Grand... Reyt grand

We recently discovered this little gem of a chippy and have been devoted, weekly, customers since. Great food, which is reasonably priced, and good portion sizes, and smashing service from really friendly staff. Very glad we found you :)

Very good fish and chips shop. Very good prices. Well worth a visit.

Arrived 10 mins after closing, they happily opened the door and fried up again for us 1 haddock 1 cod 2 chips & mushy peas, all delicious. Best chippy in the area!

Amazing food ,brilliant customer service, top chippy.

Best chippy in the town highly recommended

We were visiting Kendal for a few nights and stayed in Burneside. This was recommended by the host of house we were staying at. It was cheap, great quality and fresh! I’d recommend coming here if you want a nice fish and chips. The only downside is, is that they don’t take card.

Small but jolly s the name food good

Great Chips and fantastic Value!

Very good food with friendly staff

Nice batterd burger Best in cumbria 😀😀

Very slow.. chips were just bits..

Nothing special had better. Very greasy fish

Excellent chippy with lovely friendly staff and proper chips

A fish and chip shop that is on our radar and a must whenever we are in the local area....delicious and friendly service. You must try it.

No better place to get your fish and chips from - happy friendly helpful people - willing to help you in your hour of need and distress situation. I cannot praise these people enough for all the help they gave us in our recent upsetting experience - support their business they are amazing ! Food looked fantastic - clean tidy 10/10 for this fish shop !

Fish and chips. And peas, curry sauce, etc. What's not to like?

Excellent fish n chips at a reasonable price Hidden gem

Massive portions always friendly

Great dinner every time !!!! Simply the best

We use this chip shop alot,the owners are very friendly,reasonably priced with decent portion sizes.... I recommend the chicken curry and the burgers.

The fish is invariably good, cod or haddock always, with at least one guest fish. This is sometimes just a 'large haddock' (bit of an understatement) but has included hake, coley, whiting and ling. They do a very good 'fish cake' which is fish sandwiched between potato slices and battered and potato fritters. There are non-fish dishes as well.

Come regularly always good never disappointed.

Good chips and haddock peas too. Friendly and chatty couple running the place worth a visit if passing.

Decent fish and chips are reasonable prices. Also a varied menu on offer

A wee bit pongy but all in all a good box!

My companions and I used the Jolly Fryer whilst staying for two nights at the Jolly Angler which is just 30 yards away. Between us, we sampled the haddock, cod and chips over two visits. I personally had the cod on the first evening visit. It was delicious and a good portion. The chips portion accompanying it was huge. The fish is cooked on order and both fish and the chips were piping hot. The staff were very friendly and the prices were low - I payed just £4,20 for cod and chips which is a lot cheaper than back home in Wales. I would highly recommend this establishment to all. The eyening frying time is from 5.0pm to 7.30pm. It stays open a little later on a Saturday evening and also opens for lunch. Closed all day on Sunday.

Best fish&chips any where superb
