I heard vinegar Jones was gluten free and rated in the top 10 in the U.K. so had to visit. 4 whole years since I've had chip shop food and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Fish, chips, mushy peas and even gf vinegar. Amazing! I messaged before I went just to double check contamination risk and they were straight back with a friendly message to ease my concerns. Great food and really lovely staff. Thanks Vinegar Jones, I'll definitely be back.
Very tasty gluten free fish and chips, and gluten free vinegar too, yay! Friendly service too so I'd definitely recommend a visit. :)
Went to vinegar jones,so happy to get gluten free fish and chips.Staff so helpful would recommend to everyone,!!!
Great to find somewhere that did gluten free and they were one of the nicest gluten free fish and chips I have had. Will definately come back again on my next visit.
Always visit this chippy it’s a quick fix and great food and staff, some times more tasty to eat in the street on you way back to your accommodation 😀😀
Fresh and crispy chips served with perfectly cooked flaky fish in a light, non greasy batter. Portions were generous and the staff are lovely. A must for all visitors to Bowness
Possibly the best fish and chips I've had outside Australia. Deliciously light and crispy batter, fish was fresh and flaked beautifully. A very appreciated, lovely lunch on a rainy, cold day in Bowness.
Beautiful fish & chips, knowledgeable staff who were able to answer all the questions that we asked relating to the food that is served.
Thank you for looking after us yesterday. Arrived just after opening time at 4.50pm and considering we didn't book our party of Brownies in beforehand the staff were really friendly and took the time to speak to the girls, as well as giving excellent service and food. Thanks again. St Stephen's brownies, Wigan x
Our 1st visit yesterday we got a couple of trays of chips. Very tasty chips, cooked to perfection. Nice tables & chairs outside, friendly staff.
Went to vinegar Jones yesterday, and I have to say they were the best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Very clean and welcoming and will definitely be going again next time I'm in Bowness.
Best fish and chips! Food was fresh and service was super quick. Seating upstairs but if there is a large group/tour booking then it is unavailable for everyone else. A couple of small 2 seater tables outside and a few window bar seats inside. Location in the heart of town so does get busy
We ate here as we were passing through. The batter on the fish was beautiful and light and the fish was so fresh. Nicest fish and chips I’ve had in absolutely aged.
Last night in the Lakes. What a delicious way to end it.
Chips cooked to perfection without too many of the disappointing little chippy bits.
Scampi delicious, but my wife's gluten-free fish was superb.
Thank you Vinegar Jones.
Loved the fish and chips which we enjoyed walking by the lake it's about a 60 seconds drive managed gluten free with no problem . Advise you go at 7.30 then the lakes really quiet !
It was very busy and they were struggling to keeping tables and surrounding areas clean and clear. It was awful the mess people were making and leaving. The food was really and it was interesting to see all the famous people who had visited before. There were toilets but a wait due to how busy it was.
Wife had fish and chips I had battered sausage and chips we had a tub of gravy, curry and a mushy peas. Everything was perfect neither of us could find fault with any of the food. The service was fast and efficient and the staff were friendly enough. It is expensive compared to our local takeaways but one expects that in a tourist area so I won't rate low for that. I would definitely use this chip shop again and would recommend without hesitation.
Amazing gluten free fish and chips. The batter was really light. The gluten free options are cooked fresh to order, and the wait for the food wasn't very long. Only downside is that the seating options were upstairs so we couldn't sit inside with my grandma. The food didn't seem very greasy either, and the fish was white.
Only fish and chip shop in lake district that fries the fish separately and not with other meats. Also no beer in the batter.
Brilliant service and no charge for the extra quality sauces. Eat in upstairs with tables and chairs.
Highly recommend
Thank you vinegar jones
Very average fish and chips, slightly expensive.
Ate from here multiple times whilst visiting! We had the battered sausage, curry sauce, mushy peas, fish and chips have never tasted chips like it!! It was that good we went back the next day! Takeout only but well worth the visit too! 👍🏻
We stay in the Lake District near Windermere once a year and for the last couple of years on a Monday afternoon ensure we have our fish and chips at Vinegar Jones. The consistency is amazing and this is our first visit after 12 months and we sat in the restaurant upstairs which was very clean and service exceptional. The fish and chips, was very freshly cooked and probably the "best" fish and chips I have had for a very long time. It was amazing.
The portion size is great and the only constructive criticism I would give is that the basket the fish and chips are served in the restaurant, just need to be a bit bigger/wider but, portion size is correct.
Overall, an amazing experience yet again and well done for the consistency of food, service and ambience. A "must experience" when in Bowness-On-Windermere.
Found this place by chance and so glad we did. Friendly service, good choice, average price for the food, and one of the best fish and chips I've ever had, not greasy at all, the batter was light and crispy. Good size piece of fish. I had fish, chips, peas and gravy and the portion was a good size.
The shop is located two minutes away from a beautiful lake front. There is also seating right outside the shop.
We had our lunch at Vinegar Jones while we visited Bowness on 17/06/23. We were quite hungry and wanted to have Fish & Chips. While walking towards the bus stop. We saw Vinegar Jones Fish & Chips. We walked in the shop and were greeted by Charlotte and Jack and other staff in a very polite and friendly manner. There was seating available upstairs. It is a very well kept, clean and tidy restaurant. We had ordered Fish & Chips. The food was served precise, hot ,clean proper cutlery (not plastic items). The food was delicious ,tasty and a very generous portion.
We highly recommend everyone to go and have a meal there.
Had fish, chips and peas as a takeaway, all of which were good ( though the peas could have done with being hotter ).
It was a warm, sunny evening with lots of families about at half-term, so it took a while ( ~25 minutes ) to queue, order and get the food, which wasn't a problem, but bear it in mind if you're going there in school holidays and make sure you get there before you're totally starving !
Service was good, despite them being dead busy, the staff were coping well and all of them had a smile on their face !
Family of four ordered Fish & Chips...never been here before, used the reviews to see what places were highly rated. I'm very pleased to say, the fish and chips here were amazing...fish was fresh and chips were equally freshly fried and served. For Muslims looking for a chippy, these guys have separate oil to just fry their Fish in. A big "Thumbs up" from me!
