After a very soggy dog walk along Felixstowe beach today we were in desperate need of warmth, the opportunity to dry off and a hot drink and food. Saltwater welcomed us into their lovely seafront restaurant (including Harry Dog - which we weren't expecting - we thought we'd have to sit in the truck and eat a takeaway!) The food was superb and the team were so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. As I have to eat gluten-free food (and fish and chips are my favourite) this was a real treat! Harry Dog even got a free sausage! Thanks to Kerstin who served us and the lovely lady (sorry I've forgotten your name) who cooked our meals. The restaurant was spotless too. We will be back! Thank you for brightening up our very wet day! I highly recommend them.
I visited with my son on a busy Saturday lunchtime in February.
The service was exceptional, very friendly and welcoming. My son enjoyed his chicken nuggets and chips meal. The food was hot and fresh, and a good size portion of chips in the kids portion too. Very reasonably priced.
We will be visiting again, the next time we come to Felixstowe. Thanks again.
Delicious fish and chips, idyllically situated on the Felixstowe seafront, with excellent, friendly and prompt service. Highly recommend the curry sauce - we'll be visiting here a lot in the summer! Options for gluten free, vegans and more.
We had a really nice lunch at Saltwater Fish and Chips in Felixstowe during the 2023 Coronation weekend. Between the four of us (2 adults + 2 kids), we ordered a good variety, including fish n’ chips, the seafood platter, fish burger and sausages. It was a short wait between ordering and the food coming out, but in fairness, the takeaway bit was busy - and it was worth the wait.
The curry sauce was excellent!
Excellent fish and chips. Fresh and tasted great. Proper thick fish and the chips were well fried. Local ale from Mr Bees brewery is also served in bottles and staff were friendly.
Fish and chips were excellent. It's on the seafront so good view. Service was slow but some staff had not turned up. Those who were there were apologetic and friendly. Food made up for the wait!
Love this place use it everytime we go Felixstowe. They do gluten free fish and chips which a lot of places don't. Yesterday most the young staff didn't seem organised and were missing items off peoples orders, despite it being unusually quiet, hopefully they just need some additional training.
Food is very good....... but as we sat waiting for our food to come out I saw the cook drop his tea towel on the floor, accidently tread on it then pick it up and carried on using it. He was eating food all the time as he was preparing it, eating it with his fingers then using his bare hands to prepare food. !!!!!
We use this fish and chip shop as they cater for vegans and fry in palm oil. Happy we can eat a portion of chips and mushy peas down the seafront! The staff always seem to be busy working hard and the lady with colours in her hair seems to be there all the time and always so lovely.
We usually have take away but it was cold last week so we ate in. Really odd that they have a very small menu for sit in guests, we thought it'd just be the menu above the fryers. We prefer a take away.
As a coeliac, I was very excited to find they had lots of gluten free options. Was also very reasonably priced compared to other seafront chippies. Staff friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!
A few days ago I went for a late lunch at Saltwater Fish & Chips on my first visit to Felixstowe Beach, and what a great experience I had!
The food was outstanding, as the fish & chips were cooked very well and the portion size was more than good! Definitely would reccomend anyone to order the mushy peas, tasted so good!
The staff were very friendly, polite and hardworking. Loved how the restaurant was very well cleaned throughout my visit and really liked the interior of the restaurant!
I will most definitely reccomend anyone visiting Felixstowe to come here for lunch, and hopefully in the near future I'll be back again!
Proper fish and chip restaurant with a takeaway as well. Clean, good service and the food is great. The chips are some of the best "seaside" chips we have had. The fish batter was crisp and the fish, great
Not a large restaurant, but don't pass it by.
Quite a nice little chippy along the run of arcades and a stone's throw from the beach. If you get there early enough you can done in if you prefer.
Tasty sausage in batter
