The Pea Bung in North East Lincolnshire

Lovely food, very tasty and service so friendly. Best ever fish and chips, so fresh, and perfect. With pudding and will go again. A+++++

Over the years I had many good reports of this well known iconic venue, it was my first visit and won't be returning as there are better places to have fish n chips. Small fish and dining area the biggest dissapointment

The Pea Bung has changed in decor but not the food. I used to come every Saturday for lunch with friends (55 years ago!) my fish cake tasted exactly the same as I remember. The staff on Friday went above and beyond for us after I had a medical episode. I cannot fault all the care and attention that you gave me and the total support for my husband and sister. Thankyou doesn’t come close or feel enough for you all. We will return next time we are in Grimsby, you are an institution of Freeman Street Market. I cannot recommend you enough.

Haven't been to the Pea Bung in ages, last time I went, I walked round eating the most amazing chips with scraps, curry sauce & naturally, salt & vinegar. Fast forward to Saturday 2nd September... Myself & a friend decided to treat ourselves, I say treat, as naturally, based on the times I went quite a while back, I thought it would be a treat. Ordered the same as last time, small chips on a tray with scraps & curry sauce. £2.35 for small chips & £1.30 for the curry. £3.65 for a tray of bland floppy chips, scraps were ok, portion size, even though it says small, took the p**s, not worth £2.35 at all. Curry wasn't all that tastes wise & definitely not the £1.30 i wasted on it. Woman serving both myself & my friend, looked like she was storing the lemons in her mouth & been slapped by the fish!! What's the point of spending all the money on smart uniforms for staff, when customer service was seriously lacking. No smile, no please, no thankyou. We both left & I'm pretty sure, we'll be giving it a miss. Such a shame, was so good yesteryear.

Such high hopes but alas bitterly disappointed, we tried the pea bung as a takeaway meal.and I was bitterly disappointed. I ordered a large haddock chips and peas and if this was a large fish then a small must have been a sprat. The chips were cold and all in all the experience was not a good one, even the usual service wasn't as it should be I guess the server was having an off day. It was the first time I've visited since it's refurbishment and I'm afraid I won't be rushing back in the near future.

Went in with my family today (some of which was down from Sheffield), no better place to have fish and chips at a good quality price, the customer service was so good, always feel really homely in there and reminds of going there as a child. The waitress even gave my niece a bowl of “scraps” which she listened to us telling her about which was lovely (one happy little ☺️) ….. The place looks great also

This was the first time in the Pea Bung the meal was very good and the staff very helpful we will return.

A great place for fish and chips or pie after a bit of shopping at Freeman Street Market. The service was very friendly and the food was great.

Asked for a large haddock and it couldn’t of come any smaller. It was the same size as the normal fish I also bought. Such a joke. . Won’t be going back.

Great meal great prices heard about this place made an effort today to visit. Fast freshly cooked food with a pensioners special at £7.25

Bought a Portion of chips here what can I say resembled a bag of mash potato greasy and all stuck together ended up in the bin

when i came here i had fishcake and chips with gravy, the fishcake was perfectly cooked with a smooth layer of batter on surrounding it. the chips tasted like they were from heaven, and the gravy was absolutely phonomenal. the staff were very friendly and inviting. the waitress was extremely nice and the people who were cooking washed their hands regularly. i would recommend this my experience was 10/10

This is the second time we have had lunch here . Both times the food was excellent- the fish is the best we’ve had- so fresh. Chips are good too. Very welcoming and friendly staff. The 2 hours of free parking is a bonus too, as are the local businesses in the market. As we’ve enjoyed it so much, our New Years resolution is to visit once a month.

My memories of the Pea Bung go back to the mid 70s when I used to go at least once a week. Back in the area for a week we decided to do our own personal research into well known fish & chip restaurants. The scales are not happy but we had a great time - nothing beats fresh Grimsby fish! Freeman Street has changed somewhat (and not for the better) but essentially the Pea Bung is just the same, albeit the decor has been updated. Of the three establishments visited during our week, I am awarding the Pea Bung first prize. We visited on a Tuesday lunchtime and were able to go straight in to a freshly cleaned table. The waitress was very friendly and obviously knew a lot of the ‘regulars’. We both chose the specials menu consisting of fish, chips, mushy peas, bread & butter, pot of tea and sponge pudding & custard ... all for the amazing price of £6.75. This also wins my prize for value for money! The actual meal did not disappoint, tasting just as good as I remember from all those years ago, a great nostalgic trip! The area may not be the best but don’t let that put you off, you’re here to sample some of the finest fish & chips. Don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself. There’s also free 2 hour parking just across the road so what’s not to love. Enjoy If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation by voting 👍🏻

Following a discussion about Grimsby with our friend, We decided to take a trip down memory lane. Firstly, we visited the docks…that was sad to see. Then we visited the Pea Bung. Where do I start?! It was so busy, we queued for a seat and take away was a never ending stream. We watched the waitress take the orders, dish up the fish snd chips, sweep round the fish fryer, (always conscious of Covid-sterilising as she went), clear and clean table, take payments. She had such a wonderful cheery manner with all the customers. We all commented how wonderful she was and would definitely be an asset to any business (we later found out she was the daughter of the owner). She was a shining example of truly great service and work ethic. We were blown away by the meal deal, we couldn’t believe the price! Of course the haddock, chips and peas were the best!!! We did comment that perhaps they should raise their prices to reflect the standard of the meal. We’ll done! We will certainly recommend and return.

I’m new to Grimsby so I googled good chippies near me and The Pea Bung came up trumps. Glad we went there... spam fritter and mushy peas for me and my chap had haddock, chips and curry sauce (the portion of chips was big enough to share). We had a mooch around the indoor market (also great) while our food was being cooked and the lovely lady who served us gave us a shout when our lunch was ready. Will definitely return! There’s two hours free parking in the car park opposite too.

Excellent friendly service, was visiting the area found pea bung on trip advisor, phoned for opening times as would be close to the end of lunchtime trading, they took my order ready for collection , arrived minutes before closing, all my order was cooked to perfection, piping hot tasty freshly prepared, fish was excellent, as were the chips and peas , Covid compliant, and the serving staff were excellent friendly bearing in mind this was closing time everything was freshly prepared, the premises were spotlessly clean, would definitely recommend, fantastic value for money also

Came for fish and chips. Got some mashed potato and batter. Dismal! Now the wife isn't happy because it was our anniversary. Thanks so much Pea Bung!

An average chippy is hard to find these days (I know that's a contradiction in terms), but getting my order wrong all the time stings worse than cold chips or dry sausages :(

Never been served fish and chips with the skin on. Ordered fish and chips twice and was a complete waste of money.

Fantastic lunch, a trip down memory lane for the husband. Lovely food. Fab service. Can't complain at all.

Always consistent, a real treat. Sat at a market table cos we had the dog with us, thoroughly enjoyed the food, staff are always friendly too. A pleasure to visit - thankyou

Had a rare visit to the pea bung after picking our flowers up from lovelaces. Had fishcake chips and curry one with gravy and a sausage chips and peas. Although nice we were waiting 15 minutes to be served, a bit strange being only 3rd in the queue ( inside market hatch window) but customers coming off the street were served as a priority. Prices have also increased since Cox's closed down. Average at best.

Now I’m over 70 have been coming here since I was a child. Still the best around with easy parking Enjoy every time

45 years I have been going to the Pea Bung and in all that time I have never once encountered bad service nor bad food. As a child growing up in Grimsby we never had a lot of money but Saturday lunch at the Pea Bung was the highlight of the week. As a child, I always wanted to go and sit-in at the restaurant but that was too posh for us. At the age of 45, I finally got to go and sit in the restaurant and have fish and chips on a plate with a can of coke and it did not disappoint. Whenever I visit Grimsby the Pea Bung is our go-to place for good cheap top quality food and service.

Great food at good value prices, this chippy has never let us down. You cannot beat their jumbo haddock, chips and mushy peas.

I don’t know if it was my taste buds were at fault or not but I walked out after the meal without the normal smile on my face. It appeared to me that my fish had been left in the frier too long, the fish is normally golden brown but the batter this time was much darker, consequently the fish was dry at the edges. The soft drinks we had were ice cold and served in a chilled glass. This will not put me off returning as I think it was a one off.

Traditional family run fish and chip shop that treats every customer as part of their family and has food that reflects the service ... Great all round and worth the trip from Hull to experience with my Mum who loves the place and makes a beeline for the pea bung every time she can.

This little place on the side of Freeman Street Market in Grimsby is a jewel to be explored. Nice staff very clean and such good Fish Chips and Mushy peas. It is years since I have been around to enjoy this. Don't be put off because it is at the Market, I could make this a Friday shopping day regular experience.Also great value for money.

Decided to vist freemo market as was allowed to take my dog always remember going to this place to get chips when i was younger so thought would have fish and chips i have to say was delicious cant wait to come back and have some more

I use the pea bung every time I fancy a chippy the fish is absolutely on a different level and the batter really crispy proud to be from Grimsby to get the quality that these produce. Definitely recommend to anyone the staff work brilliantly as a team and will always go out there way to exceed your expectations utm!!

Came here again, after a walk around town including a visit to Grimsby Fishing Heritage centre. I had the £4.99 haddock meal, we had to do take away as the restaurant was heaving, it was Friday lunchtime! My bro had the spam fritter and potato scallops, which were absolutely fantastic. Nice and hot, lovely fish, loads of mushy peas and scraps as well. Great service too. Love this place. Maybe now they've knocked the flats down, they'll build GTFC new ground close by and the Pea Bung will benefit!!!!!!

My sisters and I called in for a chippy takeaway, my sister asked if there was enough chips for all our orders and was told yes there was. The girl serving put a carrier bag with food in on the counter, there you go ladies she said. My sister said these two haven’t ordered yet, oh sorry there isn’t enough chips left. My sister said I asked you and you said there was enough, the girl walked away so I said are you going to put this order somewhere to keep it warm then, the girl came back and put my sisters order on top of the plates to keep it warm. When we eventually got served 10 minutes later and after she had stopped rubbing her nose and pushing her glasses up, didn’t wash her hands we got our food and left. My sister said I was in here last week and the same girl was eating chocolate cake in between serving, licking her fingers and not washing her hands. Needless to say we won’t be coming to you for any more chips, if she does that in front of you what does she do what you don’t see. Has she got a hygiene certificate, has she got a hair net or hat because she certainly didn’t have her hair covered up, it was all straggly hanging down her face. My sisters chips were cold by the way, they had to be microwaved.

Glad to be back once more at this establishment. The Haddock was sweet beyond belief and the batter as crisp as ever. There were queues both in the market area and also the street entrance, the restaurant was also full. It is quite apparent that this is because of its reputation. Anyone on the vicinity of Freeman Street would be missing something if they did not call in. Well worth the 500 + miles to eat there.

While I was in Grimsby, I had to sample fish & chips from locally caught fish and probably Lincolnshire potatoes.

It has been sometime since we were last here and it was good to enjoy their food once more. We arrived late afternoon and the fish was cooked fresh. The girl was a little robust when salting the food. Everything was up to their normal standard. Look forward to our next visit.

For the first time we were unable to take advantage of the seating area due to having our dog with us but could not pass on the sampling their wonderful fare. The fish and chips were fresh, hot and tasty. We both enjoyed sitting in the car devouring the food. I hope to be back again before too long.

Usually call once a week staff very polite and fast to serve you all the food always tasty it look a nice clean chippy with polite smart dressed staff give it a try for yourself I don't think you will be disappointed

Very clean establishment, extremely pleasant staff who are very well dressed. Food is fabulous, well cooked & extremely tasty.

What a friendly fish and chip restaurant, nothing was too much trouble and the staff were wonderful.If that were not enough the food was top notch too. Thank you and well done to everyone at the PeaBung

My husband and I called in, the food was lovely, all freshly cooked. Very nice cup of tea. The only thing I saw wrong was the salt and pepper pots, had rust spots on them. No complaints about food or cleanliness.

Visited with a friend 6th Jan 2018. Busy place so you should prepare yourself for a wait, as with all popular places. Very clean with attentive staff and although the "large" haddock we ordered was probably a "medium" it was cooked to perfection with crisp, non greasy batter and the best chips I've had in years. Quality food

Went here for lunch today for the first time in I don't know how many years. Staff efficient and helpful. Food spot on, delicious! The only thing I found was that the plates were a bit on the small side for the portion size. I lost a few chips. Mum really enjoyed her syrup sponge pud.

Came here to sample the fish as a take-away. I bought a small haddock with scraps for £2.90. Great value. i nearly ordered the 'scallops' - potatoes in batter. My mum and dad made this at home in the 60's and 70's :)

The food is excellent, really top notch, chips golden and tasty, the fish, as you would expect from Grimsby is fresh and the batter light and crispy, peas were good too.

My wife and son, who is a wheelchair user, needed a place to eat last Monday lunchtime and I thought the Pea Bung would be suitable for them. I checked on the website and on trip advisor to make sure it would be open as my son is a disabled wheelchair user and so we plan outings in advance. So last Monday they parked outside the Pea Bung which had its lights on and doors open. My wife checked the time and a sign over the door reassured her that it was open as did the timetable on the door itself. Therefore, she got the wheelchair out of the car and my son transferred into it. When they got to the door a member of staff rudely said that they were not open on Monday and hadn't been for a long time. She seemed to think that they were unreasonable. Perhaps they should change their advertising.

Thought we would try the Pea Bung after many many years and we were not disappointed. Service was excellent and...

Well what can I say ? The fish & chips are the best never ever had a bad meal we go

This is a great place. The decor is a bit dated and the interior slightly cramped, but it has been like this for decades and is a Grimsby tradition. Can't beat the Peabung's fish and chips!

This place is still a wonderful Fish and Chip restaurant and has been for years. When I went back after many years it is till a wonderful experience.

I recently wrote a review on a rather bad experience of the peabung due to staff.

Yesterday I visited and was not pleased at all.Firstly, the 3 women serving were rude and arrogant. Well, I could tell one blonde woman may have been in training due to the different uniform from the other women. However, the 2 regular staff I see was as usual very rude. When waiting on chips (which I was for a good 7-8 minutes just for 3 fish and chips) the women faced there back to the customers and stared sniggering then looked at the customers again then turned away and said some more that they clearly didn't want any of us to hear. Now I could tell it made some people paranoid; including myself and it wasn't good customer service at all. They then began to make remarks about how people 'was getting angry waiting for food' and 'good food takes time' which I completely understand and yeah the wait may have been long but it's always worth it. I think the thing that annoyed the customers most was the fact that the women were saying things about people when in fact they could've been cleaning up as the work tops were not clean at all, the outside of the peabung in the market was a state, food everywhere, dried up salt all over the table and the counter. I could see the floor where the women was stood and that had food all over, which I mean I know they're busy during service but when waiting 8 minutes on chips it gives them plenty of time to clean up inside and outside. I mean there is 3 of them and they're was one woman running a whole restaurant by herself, other than when she got another girl from the back to help her with the food. Overall, the peabung food and most of the staff are excellent. However, when I visited the staff were very rude, scruffy and not bothered about the fact there were customers in front of them at all when talking about some very rude things which including swearing when there were children around. I love coming to the peabung and we love the food just some staff in particular need changing or have a good speaking to, that's for sure. I know the peabung is a hard working business and that's what has made it so successful and I would hate to see it get more bad reviews due to VERY rude staff.

Ideal for fish n chips lunch while shopping, clean and friendly staff, the place never changes and always popular

Called in here for lunch last minute, glad we did.We were given a table almost straight away and served in double quick time.Fish chips and peas were to die for. (not literally)Waitress was very pleasant, polite and efficient.This place Definitely stands up to its great reputation.Thanks and well done.

Always good fish and chips and the staff are friendly. The restaurant is nice too. Would definitely recommend.

I absolutely love it here, the fish and chips are always faultless. Great portion sizes and cheap too. My grandparents, Maggie Newman and the late Jack Newman visited here twice weekly for many years. My grandad Jack had been a regular customer since it only sold hot peas alllllll those years back in the 1940's. The pea bung always looked after my granny and grandad on their visits and I can't thank them enough for that. This place holds many memories for me and I love coming here.

The pea bung is a local legend!! Set in what can only be described as a decaying area of town, this place lifts your spirits and delivers excellent fish and chips. Freeman street area is becoming increasingly depressed with so many shop units vacant and looking oh so sad and so it is a delight to find a thriving local business in the pea bung. Hope theu will be there for many years to come.

As usual the actual meal matched the anticipation of it after so long since I last visited. We had to wait for a table as it was full when we arrived. Finally seated, we ordered a meal which was cooked fresh. The haddock was sweet to taste and piping hot the chips were soft inside the crisp outside. No sweet as I didn't want to lose the flavour on my tastebuds. First class as normal, will return as soon as I can.

We never have chips during the day but felt very lazy today..we got there at about 2.15 ish and ordered chips with sausage fishcake and a spam fritter..we didnt have to wait long..when we got home mine was the spam and chips..the spam was awful had been left in heat too long as was dry. So were the chips which were full of scraps..i will add my partner and daughters were ok the review is from my meal. I think next time i should wait for food to be fried fresh.

Gorgeous fish and chips and the potato scallops are to die for, absolutely the best we have had since arriving in the UK, just a shame they close at 4pm each day.

We visit The Pea Bung whenever we are in the area visiting family. We always have a table and eat-in in the cosy restaurant area although the take away service is always very busy. Excellent fish and chips( batter to die for!) and very friendly smiling staff. Overall a very enjoyable experience. The best chip shop in the area!

Best gravy,chips and scraps ever very good value for money Sit inside in the restaurant or outside in the market

We could not fault the food or the service. What a bargain the pensioners special is. Try some where smaller might not be posh as some of the bigger ones but they would have a job to beat it. Been there since the 1800 an institution and still family run.

We live near York now, but originally from Grimsby and have visited here a few times over last few weeks when with my elderly Dad. A real blast from the past, I can remember the original Peabung in the 60s and 70s when I was a child (and Cox's over the road - now sadly closed). The fish and chips are excellent quality, the chips are some of the crispiest and tastiest that I've ever had in a fish restaurant. One of us doesn't eat fish but the spam fritters and steak pie also come highly recommended. The surroundings are basic but clean and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Great value for money too!

went today for fish n chip specials to take away .When we opened the wrapping the fish looked totally bland ,the batter was rubbery and the chips were similar .I thought it was a piece of refried fish as it taste poor also .Wont be going back soon

Visited here several times over the last few weeks.The fish and chips are always excellent. reasonably priced and very tasty.The staff very friendly.Service is quite fast but if you order a large fish and chips, allow an extra 10 minutes while it is freshly cooked.Its definately worth the wait.The restaurant is usually very busy but I am just reviewing the takeaway.

Very good food only problem was the mug of tea wasn't that nice, everything else was excellent perhaps a different tea supplier would be better.

I am always passing the peabung and there are always customers. The food is fab. Consistently sells good food. I had sausage and chips and it was lovely. Just as it should be. Highly recommended. Will return.

This place is lovely. The staff have a chat and the food is great. I love the fact it is near stalls on market and shops. Must visit to anyone coming to grimsb. Gives you a sense of many years ago all the fisherman visiting the area with the local catch.

I use this chippy when in area. The food is good and prices not overpriced and portions are also generous.However, recently it is the queing process that is putting me off revisiting.1. Last few times without fail, had to queue as chips not ready. Other shops I have been to seem to be able to manage this, maybe just demand outstrips small fryer?2. Also annoying...two entrances. One from street, other from inside market. You can be stood in a q of 4 people inside when a person walks in from street side and gets served! There seems to be no logic of serving order.That said, still a great chippy, just might need a few changes

We've been coming to the Pea Bung regularly as their fish and chips are really tasty and if you're lucky enough to get some of their liver and onion gravy it's worth a try. Very often you have to be prepared to wait due to the popularity of the limited seating area but well worth it!

What a nice surprise flinging this lovely chip shop with restaurant whilst shopping in Freeman Street.If how busy a small chippy is a sign of great food we were not disappointed and neither would you .Excellent value , service , and fish and chips to go !!freeman street needs great places to eat like these -

Used to come here as a child years ago (1960's!) with my grandparents & parents for fantastic fish & chips and my latest visit didn't disappoint. Still Lovely fresh white haddock, crispy chips, lovely mushy peas. (all mushy peas have sugar in them or they wouldn't be mushy peas!) Don't live locally anymore but the food & trip down memory lane was worth our 70 mile journey. Sad to see Freeman St. so run down but hopefully some regeneration planned?Will be back.

I know some top chefs, eaten ridiculously priced food and happy to pay if it's I innotove, delectable and a true "foodie" experience! The Oea Bung is better than Rick Steins in cornwall, trust me we were there two weeks ago and this wins hands down, not just on the quality of food, but the quality of service, Rick Stein could learn from these guys!

Classic GY fish and chips went a few times back in the day . Not the best in town but a cracking old style GY atmosphere with lots of old soles in . Plenty of B&B supplied . Cheers

I use the pea bung regular usually Fridays but thought I would try some today (Tue) still great tasting fish and chips and Yorkshire fish cakes young girl that served me seemed a bit unpleasant no please or thankyou no smiles but Friday staff always seem happy would defo recommend and visit again this shop and restaurant always looks clean and tidy just like the staff

Always consistent nice batter good chips. Great gravy they also offer a liver gravy but not for me. Do pensioner specials which are very reasonable and fish is lovely comes with tea bread and butter. The staff are fabulous family run from fryers to waitress to kitchen staff. The only reason that I've given 4 stars is because the peas are not traditional home made mushies but bought in otherwise first class

Good old traditional fish and chip restaurant. Been on the go for years. Fresh fish, friendlt staff love the place

Having arrived later than usual we had to wait, no problem as it made the anticipation of what was to come more intense. Finally seated, we were treated once more to succulent pieces of Haddock and crisp Chips. It never ceases to amaze me how consistently good the meal is. Look forward to my next visit to the smiling staff and food.

A unique fish and chip (and some other delights) shop by the side of the covered market in Grimsby. This place is run by a lovely family, has serving facilities direct to the covered market, serves takeaway to the street and has a small, spotlessly clean restaurant on the side. The young lady who usually serves in the restaurant, daughter of the owners, is an absolute delight. The quality food is so cheap it's silly! We cannot recommend this place higher. A pleasure to visit.

This is the best fish and chips in town - we wouldn't miss our weekly visit, it's a real highlight x

As visitors to the freeman street market we were so pleased to find the little hidden gem The Pea Bung! We called in last week and had the most beautiful fish chips and mushy peas. All week my husband has been nagging me to go again and we visited today. Same as last week our meal was just lovely. The waitress is really friendly and very efficient if I had a restaurant I would want her working for me she's great! I'm having second thoughts now about writing this review as I'm worried all you readers will head down to the pea Bung and come my next visit I won't get a table

Greeted as though we are there every day when in fact it is only 3 or 4 times a year. The fish as always was piping hot, large and succulent served by a smiling waitress who seems to remember our order each time. I look forward to our next visit. Keep up the good work.

All i can say is i love this place fish fresh chips are yummy only falt is the cafe is only open till half one otherwise great .

Excellent fish and chips with cheerful and friendly waitress service best local food in the Grimsby area.

I lived in Grimsy for 10 years there were at one time around 3 real quality places to go for proper Fish and chips not yer cod n chips rubbish one was in the market place in cleethorpes i dont know if its still ther one was on the grimsby cleethorpes rd long gone and sadly missed and the Pea Bung it used to be you could tell the time of day by the queue for the pea bung peak times it was half way round the market last week i had a drink at luchtime with a couple of old friends and the re was no queue ti can vouch the haddock chips and peas are still the best you will get anywhere and ive had a few portions over the years theres a nice chippy in Newquay comes close and another in Poole but the Pea Bung is still top dog long may you be there and as for sugar in the peas Naaa they is taking the mick that reviewer just dribble a bit of vinagar on em to kill the natural sugars

No visit to Grimsby is compleat without having a fish and chip meal in the pea bung excellent food served by lovely staff, I no longer live in Grimsby but always visit Freeman Street market,when I'm home! sadly the whole area is so run down which is such a shame it puts people off, but the market is the hub with it's new face lift, friendly stall holders trying to make a living;. hopefully with the planned regeneration Freeman Street will one again the thriving area it once was, and the Pea Bung will stay forever famous.go on give it a try

Just dropped in for lunch after not been in for a while. The restaurant was clean and light. We opted for the Pensioners Special at £5.50 per person. This comprised of fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter, a cup of tea followed by ice cream. The meal came, the chips were nice. The fish good in a nice crispy batter and the peas were served in a side dish. They didn't skimp on the portion size either. The staff were polite and attentive. I was glad we got there early as the place soon filled up. Lunch at the pea Bung was a very pleasant experience..

This place is regarded by many locals as being one of the best fish and chips in Grimsby and sadly, I cannot agree. I went a while ago and made one fatal mistake - I decided to have peas with my fish and chips... I forgot one major detail which is NOT displayed - they pour SUGAR in their peas. It totally ruined my fish and chips as it was soiled by what was like near liquid bright green icing sugar dumped all over the top. It rendered my meal totally inedible. I wouldn't mind if there was a notice alerting you to the fact they sugar their peas. It would come as a huge shock to some tourists I'm sure, not that Grimsby ever gets many of those these days. There's probably as much sugar in one helping of peas as there are in a bar of chocolate.Never ever again.

Decided to try the Pea Bung after not having been for years and our usual chippy being closed and i was really impressed. great tasting fish and generous portions at great prices. Even the pensioners special comes with ice cream dessert. Will definately go back again and im prepapred to wait for a table if needs be as i know it gets busy. The waitress worked her socks off today too

In the area once more, we headed for our normal spot for lunch. We were seated quickly and were served equally as fast. Considering we use this restaurant so infrequently, we were amazed the the lovely waitress remembered our order and also no lemon piece on the fish, this brought a smile to our faces that it was not "once seen, always forgotten" the meal as always was first class, served by a smiling and helpful young lady. If in the area, I urge readers to visit and enjoy their fare.

I am currently working abroad but every time I am home I have to visit the Pea Bung. The fish and chips are excellent but the home made pie with liver and onion gravy is gorgeous. Either eat in the restaurant or on one of the tables in the market.

Use the pea bung on a weekly basis. Food consistently good. Staff lovely and helpful. Highly recommend this chip shop if you are passing through the market. One of my top fish shop's in the town

Lovely local fish and chip shop. Been around for years. I used to come here as a chip 25 years ago and the atmosphere is still the same, friendly and always guaranteed to have a good old chat with some one. Nice chips. Try it out and you will understand what I mean.

This is an excellent restaurant on Freeman Street next door to the market. Yes it is a little way out but you can always catch the number 3 or 9 bus get off at the market and the buses are quite frequent. The staff are very nice and friendly and the fish and chips are well worth making the extra effort for. The restaurant is spotless and clean.

A Grimsby institution - the Pea Bung has lasted so long because it is quite simply the best !A lot of fish & chip shops and restaurants claim this - but I do not see how the Pea Bung can be bettered !Spotlessly clean, lovely staff, and fantastic fish and chips !We went in for lunch on Saturday, and a notice proclaimed they were now using new potatoes .... The chips were the Best we've had in a long,long time !Well done to everyone at the Pea Bung - long may you reign supreme !

Visited today for the first time in at least 10yrs. After reading the reviews thought we would give it a go ! Well how wrong can reviews be ... Chips we're discusting, all small sharp bit and covered in black bits from dirty fat. The fish was soggy,the batter a mush and the pot of peas that the young lass shoved and squashed at the bottom of the bag had burst all over .... If it hadn't of been peak time I'd of returned them as they we're put straight in the bin.. Having eaten fish all my life I can honestly say this comes in the top 2 worst chip shops yet.

The Pea Bung is known for serving good quality Fish & Chips and we were not disappointed the Fish was really fresh with lovely crispy batter . If you don't fancy Fish & Chips there is homemade steak pie or liver & onions . The staff are friendly and it was good value .

Well mannered staff, Good food and reasonable prices. A must for fish and chips. The menu includes some traditional dishes as well as some more flamboyant ones. Well liked by locals and passing trade alike.

I was brought up in the area and my family always came here for value fish and chips. Nothing has changed the quality is as good and the value as its always been well worth it if you go to the market or shop in Freemo
