Quick info
About Papa's Fish & Chips
Papa's Fish & Chips is a fish and chip shop on Great Gutter Ln W in Hull, run by the same family across three generations since 1966. A mini museum on fish and chips history sits on site, and an attached restaurant runs alongside the takeaway counter. The menu lists 71 dishes, with combo meals that come with sides and a Big Papa Family Meal Deal. One platter pairs haddock, a battered sausage and a fish cake with chips and a side of mushy peas, and curry sauce is offered with fish and chips. Portions come in small and medium, and gluten-free fish and dippers are available for those who need them. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fish itself, with the haddock and chips described as a generous size and not soggy or greasy. Several mention large portions, from a huge fish in a takeaway to a medium portion that was huge, and a shared platter of large haddock, battered sausage, fish cake and chips with mushy peas that was plenty for two. The curry sauce is called very tasty by more than one reviewer, and halloumi fries and the spotted dick also get praise. One diner who needed gluten free says any fish and any dippers could be done that way. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, with servers and waitresses singled out for making groups feel at home. Visitors mention the mini museum and plenty of space between tables. The one recurring caution is value on sides, as one reviewer is unsure they are worth buying separately rather than in a combo, and another found the Guinness not tasty at all. Several travelled a long way and say they will return.

“Shared the platter with large haddock, battered sausage, fish cake and chips, with a side of mushy peas. Excellent fish and chips - delicious and highly recommended. The platter was plenty for both of us.”

“We were staying in accommodation locally and whilst picking up some groceries we noticed this big fish and chip restaurant. Not wanting to cook one night we went and got a takeaway - and what a takeaway The fish was huge the portion size of the chips was great. My family totally enjoyed everything about the meal, so much so we got another takeaway a few days later. Thoroughly recommend that if you are in the area that you try them for yourself, you won't be disappointed”
