Quick info
About Cooks Fish and chips
Cooks Fish and Chips is a fast food restaurant at Burnham On Sea Holiday Village, serving a compact menu built around haddock and chips with mushy peas alongside poutine. Chips arrive with wooden chip forks in place of standard cutlery. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations. The counter opens daily, and the evening stretch around 7pm tends to draw a crowd, with waits reported during these busier periods. The two-dish core menu keeps the format simple, pairing a classic fish and chips plate with the poutine option for something outside the standard chip shop range.

Customer Review Summary
Chips draw the most attention here, though reviewers split sharply on how they turn out. Several praise a straightforward portion of "just cooked chips" with "a generous portion of salt and vinegar," and the cheesy chips and chicken burger get singled out for a good amount of cheese and crispy chicken. Chips and gravy also get a nod, with one reviewer flagging a small piece of gristle in their sausage as a minor gripe. But an equal number describe chips that weren't crispy, arrived dry and rock hard, or seemed frozen rather than fresh cut. The recurring complaint centers on the fish: reviewers repeatedly call the fish portion tiny, comparing it to a fish finger, with batter described as like cardboard for the price charged. Slow service during busy periods is also noted, with one reviewer waiting thirty minutes for chips and a kids' meal. One diner reports a pre ordered meal arriving with food missing entirely.

“There must be some sort of black hole in the vicinity of the restaurants on this camp causing the staff to move slowly, because waiting 30 minutes for 2 portions of chips and a kids meal is absurd. Once it did arrive though, the food was reasonably tasty, despite looking paler than Michael Jackson (hee hee!)”

“Absolutely dreadful food, smallest piece of fish I’ve ever seen. The batter was like cardboard. The chip shop in town charges around £6.00 less for the same items and they’re fantastic. NEVER AGAIN”
- Becky Showell
“Pre ordered and still got it wrong food missing and never arrived , fish looked like it was a frozen one from asda, chips were frozen ones . Don't bother avoid.”

“Ordered a munchie box for 16:99 to get chips and scampi. On menu it comes with cod but when I went in there told me I had to pay as the menu and picture is a miss print! …”
- Jacky Glasgow
“Chips weren't crispy. Bit small. Cod was nice. And it would be good to be supplied with a wood or plastic knifeand fork instead of a tiny wooden chip fork. A job to eat the fish and mushy peas with it.”
