I’m not one to write reviews but I couldn’t go home without leaving this chippy some praise. During my stay in Ambleside I became a regular in this hidden gem. Not only was the food delicious and served swiftly, but the staff made the visit worth while. The food always hit the spot and the service was phenomenal. I wouldn’t usually eat in a chip shop however their friendliness welcomed me to give it a try. I’ll be more than happy to come back in the summer and give it a go. I felt as though I really got to know both staff by the end of my visit. Reminded me of home with their friendly faces. Chats about work and life. Felt like they were treating like a son. Wether you’re in Ambleside for business or pleasure, it would be wrong not to give this chippy a try. Spend some time speaking to the staff and you’ll have the same experiences as me. Signing off, One very happy customer.

Lovely chippy. Great staff. Great food. I tried all the chip shops in Ambleside for fish and chips, and this one is by far the best in Ambleside. I got fish and chips from there twice in the week, and wow, beautiful. Great family run business.

A classic fish and chip shop! Lovely and fresh and generous portions. I got a regular fish and chips and it was more than enough, the lady serving us was super friendly and added loads of salt and vinegar for us! Would definitely recommended if you’re in Ambleside!

I was enticed by the £5 mini fish and chips takeaway, but once I entered I ordered a large fish and chips for £7.95 and I didn't regret it - big portions enough for two. Batter was light and flavourful, almost like tempura. The inner batter was kind of mushy which I liked because it was a contrast in texture. The fish was smooth and firm yet not dry. Really delicious, although slightly on the greasier side, especially the chips . Their pies were tasty and affordable.

Lovely food nicely cooked but don't order a pot of tea as you only get half a cup. Also do dine in.

Please may I strongly recommend in the interests of kindness and for reviews to be useful, that reviewers stick to a factual description of what they experienced, so that other customers may may up their own minds, as what bothers one person may not bother another. Equally, that business owners respond politely and do not use language that could be considered offensive or personal, as, (even if you are upset), it can reflect very poorly on your business and is likely to put people off visiting you, more than the review itself. A polite, brief response to a poor review can actually build your business as it is an opportunity to demonstrate to customers that you are open to, and acknowledge all feedback (it is not the same as agreeing with it).
