  “Went here after having a lil stroll of East Park as the wife was craving for some fish and chips. Service was really nice despite being really busy with the amount of customers on a Friday. The fish was really nice, batter was light and crisp but not overly oily. Chips were magnificent! Take note they do serve old-fashioned fish with the skin on.”

  “I recently moved to the area and have visited pollards a few times now, the fish is really good with a nice seasoned batter and always cooked fresh. Just been in and got a chip butty plenty of salt and vinegar, cheese onion patty and a can of pop, very reasonably priced and the 1 ladies serving (I think Marie is one of them) absolutely fantastic service from walking in, “hi can we get you any fish this evening?” Love that it’s cooked fresh and not sat around to go soggy like other chippys. Great service and I also noticed how clean the place was to say it’s almost the end of service they keep it clean and tidy. If you haven’t tried it already give it a go.”

  “The atmosphere is very clean, but the staff overall seems mad that you are there. The fish was great, but the chips were terrible. The pattie was good, but you can't claim to be the best, and have average food. It didn't live up to the expectation. Also, there is this thing called money. Most restaurants are in business for money. I guess they do so well that they don't feel being reasonable with customers is necessary. Act like you enjoy a customer coming in, rather than upset you have to deal with a customer. Unprofessional, and off putting.”

  “Great value for money, 3 adult meals for about £24 with drinks. Food was great, staff were super friendly too! For a chippy it was clean, food wasn’t greasy and the curry sauce was to die for! Would 100% recommend and will definitely be coming back.”

  “I love fish & chips! I travel all around the UK to find great fish & chips spots. I live in Dubai, and have a great friend from Hull, who said Pollards is the best in the UK. So I flew 7 hours, and took a nearly 3 hour train journey to check it out. I was excited. All the signs on the outside claimed this is the best in the UK. I'd like to meet the people that made this claim. Seriously. I'd like to have an actual discussion with those that voted this as the best. We arrived at 7:30 PM. It closes at 9:00 PM. One of the ladies working literally acted like they were about to close. She was so amazingly mad that we ordered, and wanted to dine in. We felt unwelcome, and considered leaving. She talked under her breath, obviously upset that we stayed. She was genuinely UPSET we wanted to order, AND eat there. It was perhaps the most obnoxious thing I've seen at a restaurant. It was incredible. It wasn't 8:55 PM, it was 7:30 PM, so 90 minutes left, and a reasonable time to order. We had to explain that we flew from Dubai, to convince her to allow us to eat there. Who does that? The cashier is Marie, and she's one of the nicest ladies on the planet. She kept us there. Marie could tell the other lady was strangely intense, and adverse to use eating there and spending money. Marie is amazing! Very cool. She also helped us find a pub for a drink after. Always smiling. Phenomenal lady! The fish itself was fresh and flaky. High quality, and probably never frozen. The batter was not that great. The chips were easily the worst I've ever had. We were a party of 3, and we probably ate less than 10 chips between us. To be fair, the kitchen lady was mad, so we probably had chips that were old. The peas were disgusting. Also the worst. It was slop. It is literally inconceivable anyone would suggest this is the best the UK has to offer. Luckenbooths in Edinburgh, and Market Tavern at Shepherd Market in London are both 1,000 times better. There is better fish and chips in Dubai even. The atmosphere would have been fine, but for the hostile lady. It's a chip shop, so ambiance is what you expect. It was fine. Feeling like they want you to leave, with 90 minutes before it closes ruins that atmosphere. It was very clean to be fair, and it didn't smell greasy. It was very clean and a professional atmosphere, but for the behavior of certain staff. Marie, and the flakey fish saved it from having 1 star. If you are making a trek to Hull to try this place, stay home. If you live in Hull, try it. Why not. I guess go at 4:00, because they need a huge margin of time before closing time.”

  “Great traditional fish n chip shop with great staff who are always welcoming and polite. The food is cooked to a golden brown and the fillets pure white. Generally Enough highstreet parking but unfortunately no disabled access for diners wishing to eat within the seating area of the premises. All that aside top quality chippy”

  “My third time here, unfortunately this time it didnt meet the standards of previous visits. The batter on the fish was perfectly crispy and absolutely delicious as always due to the seasoning they use in the mix. However the haddock itself lacked any depth of real flavour, the flakes were a nice size and pure white, but its ultimately about the taste. The chips also lacked the usual great taste. They were crispy but fluffy inside, but nothing special. The peas were absolutley sweet and delicious and just how I like them, not too thick. On tasting the curry sauce I remembered why Didnt like it. It has a very harsh taste on the throat. All in all very disappointing considering the quality on previous visits, dont get me wrong it would still rank higher than a lot of other chippys but I know they can do far far better.”

  “After a trip to Leeds Bradford Airport and back I dropped family off and was hungry. Passing Pollards I pulled over and got my dinner and heading home it’s smelt good. The service in the shop was manic to say the least, the shop was very clean tho (always good when food is concerned). The staff friendly and all full of smiles and helpful. The food The curry was a little too spicy for me and was like water, I love a good fruity curry. This was not good at all. Yes it’s personal choice and I understand lots of other people would love the curry but for me it was not my thing. The chips were a big let down most were hard and some seemed to be burnt just on the bottom (not sure what that was about). The odd chip was soft and when I got to taste these chips they were really nice soft and fluffy inside but they were far out done by the hard ones. The fish was the hidden gem in this order. I’m not sure how they have made this batter but what ever they have been doing keep doing it. The batter was amazing, it was crisp thick and the taste was to die for. Without a doubt the best batter on a peace of fish I’ve ever had in my life. The fish was perfect soft, full of taste and cooked to perfection.”
