The best restaurants serving Seafood food in England

I wrote a glowing review four yeas ago after our first delivery from Harlees Amesbury. Over the following two years we had several equally good meals but tonigh was our first meal from Harlees for some time so we were really looking forward to it. Sorry to say it was the worst fish and chips we have ever had. The chips were hard and the fish appeared huge but it turned out to be mostly soggy batter. Regrettably we will not risk orderng again. Harlees you have definately deteriorated and to think I have always recommended you but sadly no longer.

I went today and was waiting with other two older ladies waiting to be serviced at the ice counter, the ladies tried few times to tell the staff; which there are serving fish and chips to other people; to come and serve them with ice cream. After few minutes without any service the two ladies left and I kept waiting for about more than 10 mins, finally a young girl come with grumpy face and I asked I want an ice 2 cones of ice cream two scoop each, instead of apologising for the wait, she said what do you want in a rude manner which I founded offensive, so I said cancell and l don't like your customer service. That was at about 2:00 pm Tuesday 17/9/2024.

I found the quality was poor for the fish and chips. Fish was OK batter to thin and the chips with lots of little scraps in with them. The cost is also the most expensive we have paid for fish and chips in Swindon . Staff are nice though and polight. We will not be going there again I'm afraid .

Sabroso, pescado y papas fritas El pescado con patatas fritas era muy sabroso y el personal muy servicial. Nos encanta que volverá bien hecho chicos

We have been using the dugout for many years as it was always excellent value for money however over the past few months not only has the quality gone down significantly, the price has gone up and the “specials” that always had more than enough are no longer enough to satisfy a small child! Have stopped using after 20 years

Altho my fish chips and mushy peas were nice and hot my friend had the pie, we asked if it was homemade, it didn’t appear to us to be homemade, altho hot more like a pukka pie, poor filling and the plate was a wash with thick gravy.

Visited on a whim as we passed by and will be back! Best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted, so much meat. Fish lovely and fresh. Chips delicious. Good staff too. Great place.

Un amigo y yo desayunamos en el café de la planta baja. ¡Muy decepcionante! Mi aguacate 'machacado' en tostadas de masa madre con huevos escalfados fue probablemente el peor desayuno que he tenido en años, y a £ 18. 50 , bastante empinado para la mala calidad. El aguacate no fue aplastado y parecía ser batido y luego entubado en la tostada. Solo puedo suponer que algo se había añadido al aguacate batido ya que sabía muy avinagrado. El aderezo en la ensalada también era muy afilado, por lo que la mayoría de la comida tenía un sabor agudo, casi amargo. La corteza de la masa madre era tan dura y muy difícil de cortar. Las yemas de los huevos escalfados en nuestras dos comidas eran duras. Básicamente, la cocina no hizo nada bien. El servicio fue muy agradable. Definitivamente no volvería.

I've used the drive through for many years - today was the last straw. For some time the quality of the food has been getting worse in my opinion and the prices have been rising. Today I spent nearly £30 for 3 of us to takeaway and the fish I got was over 50% overcooked batter and empty. The small amount of fish at one end was predictable overcooked and dry. The value we used to see is long gone.

Chips under cooked… almost raw. Fish was edible but tasteless, batter was soggy. EXPENSIVE! I have had way better fish & chips from a beach side chippy. It’s a rip off.

Visited for haddock & chips for the family. Shockingly awful quality fish dry battery very dark, chips cold and dry. Also the medium fish size is absolutely tiny, I really do wonder the size of their large. For the price we paid it is extremely expensive. They make Sea ways look better in comparison. Unfortunately will not be visiting again.

Sunday morning 9th January and we were awaiting the departure of our flight to Lanzarote from Exeter Airport. This cafe is located on the ground floor of the departure lounge and was the only catering facility open at the Airport. We ordered and paid for two Flat whites which were £2.70 each. Considering they were dispensed from a machine it took a long time to get our coffees. A bit disappointing that they were served in paper cups There was limited food here, which included croissants, pain and chocolat, crips and a bit more. No alcohol was on sale here.

Ordered large donner and chips. There was more sauce than meat . Also under cooked. Terrible. Would never use again. Stay away

Really really small portions of chips, a large is not enough enough for one person, queried it and told that’s how many the owner say to give 😱

Never again! The man who owns Gaskells has ruined a lovely chippy! £2.20 for a beyond small chips! The portion sizes are tiny and the service is soooooo slow! Used to love this chippy but ruined and will never go back
