  “We visited Arnside Chip shop on 7th August. Ive got got to say its the best chip shop experience ive ever had. The food was outstanding, the view onto the promenade was lovely and a huge thanks to the waitress whose name i didn't get ...a young lady with blonde hair...she was super friendly and attentive. Well done we will be back.”

  “We went and sat in here at lunchtime for a bite to eat after an early walk on 18/07/26 , the food ( Cod + Chips & Battered Sausage + Chips ) was freshly cooked taking about 10 - 15 mins, it was all very tasty , but what was most pleasing was the absolutely delightful young woman who took our order and brought the food, she was genuinely friendly , warm, engaging and helpful. Good food can be found in many places, great staff not so much. Thanks.”

  “We had a takeaway to eat by the sands. Visited on a Thursday afternoon at 17:00. Ordered straight away and ordered 2 haddock and chips. All cooked fresh, waited 5-10 minutes. All staff friendly. Very good quality food and service. Highly recommend!”

  “I live in Kendal and if I ever want to eat fish and chips I will make sure I’ll be going to this place. It’s easy to order on the app so that by the time I arrive I’m not stuck waiting for my food. The view outside of the shop is sensational. I cannot fault the food and the price is very much worth paying.”

  “We called in on Saturday after a long, sun-soaked walk, feeling thoroughly deserving of some fish and chips. Ordered a couple of sides too, about £25 in total, all going nicely. Then we asked if they wouldn’t mind topping up our water bottle for the onward trek. After a brief pause, as if weighing up a truly complex moral dilemma, the man behind the counter said a firm “nope” with an oddly smug smirk. Shame really. Most places these days are more than happy to refill a bottle with tap water, especially for paying customers. It’s one of those small, simple gestures that takes almost zero effort and costs almost nothing. I genuinely can’t think of a situation where I’d refuse someone water if I had access to a tap and they did not… even if I’d built an entire fish and chip shop around that very tap. The fish and chips weren’t bad, but we still left with a bad taste in our mouths.”

  “This is about as good as fish and chips gets. I can see why this is such a popular place. We sat in the cafe - it was really busy, even in December. We had to wait 20 mins or so before the food arrived, but it was worth the wait. I ordered a large cod and chips, and the wife small. I think small is big enough for most appetites (not mine). The chips were good, but the fish was fabulous. Light, crisp batter, and flakey perfectly cooked fish. Highly recommend.”

  “Arnside Chip Shop delivered a mixed but mostly positive experience. I tried their cod fish and chips, and fish-wise, it was probably one of the best battered cod I've had in the Lakes. The fish was noticeably fresh, you can even occasionally see a chef filleting it right there, which adds to the authenticity. However, the chips were quite soggy rather than crisp, which made them a bit hard to finish and somewhat disappointing. The tartare sauce was okay. I also tried the battered haggis, which was okay but nothing remarkable. The portion sizes are generous, which is worth noting. Service was fine, and it's clear the place is popular, as there's often a long queue outside.”

  “Fish is perfect here, sweet & flakey haddock in a very crisp batter. Chips are fluffy on the inside & crunchy outside - portion is generous, but they do offer a lite-bite smaller size which is good to know! Lots of benches with scenic views, or sit in the car overlooking the estuary if it’s too cold to sit out…. It’s generally busy, but they are efficient and it’s worth the wait & a trip to Arnside for these fish & chips! Walk it all off on the beach - just perfect!”

  “Fantastic fish and chips, prepared fresh from scratch when you order. If ordering to go and not eating right away, a local we met in line suggested the lightly battered fish so it is still crispy on arrival. The advice was spot on. Overall, tasty food at good prices. Friendly staff and efficient service. Highly recommend.”
