  “I used to use Cantors in the 80's when it was just selling fish and chips and fried chicken BEFORE it started doing kebabs and everything else and before they started using cheaper and cheaper ingredients causing the quality to go down. Both the fish and chips AND the fried chicken were lovely, they always used quality ingredients, it was always cooked to perfection and i never had a bad meal from them. Then in the late 90's I moved from the area and hadn't used Cantors for years until I was driving through Chapeltown one evening, noticed Cantors and that it was open so I stopped and bought myself fish and chips with a portion of mushy peas, a portion of curry sauce and a breadcake and set off home excited for my Cantors fish and chips. How wrong I was, to say I was disappointed would be a MASSIVE understatement. Not only was the battery all soggy but the fish looked more translucent than white like fish should be and it just wasn't nice at all. The chips weren't too bad BUT tasted like they were cooked in the same oil as everything else and it was really greasy. The mushy peas were a let down, they just tasted bland and dry and the curry sauce just tasted of salt instead of curry. I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed by a meal but I was seriously disappointed there was such a MASSIVE change in the quality of the fish and chips and that its gone so downhill as it used to have such a good name...”

  “Been a Cantors customer from day but iv only ever got the chicken sandwich never the fish, and on occasions the wings. Hit and miss at times however ain’t really a regular anymore. There is an African lady who works there and everytime I go my sandwiches are spot on, big and crunchy, her customer service is amazing and she’s always polite. Thanks to her I still eat here.”

  “Fish was quite dry, yet soggy, not a big piece for ‘large’. Chips were a decent portion and texture but had a really rancid chemical taste, couldn’t eat them. I expect both have been sat under the light all day”

  “This use to be the best Chip shop in Leeds. My family and I have been eating here since I was about three years old and I am 46 now. Chips are like rock and dark. Fish is steamed or boiled and not a full fish with a ton of batter. The Owner Manager stops staff from making fresh. Need to sort out your Fish and chips your charging money and it's not worth it! Avoid not worth your time. Go to Salt and Battered it's really nice food unlike this so called food!”

  “ordered a chicken sandwich, which is supposed to be diced fried chicken but when i got home it turned out that they used a processed chicken patty burger instead. i also got a can of pop which had specs of mould on the top of it. this has been a disappointing experience. i will not be wasting my money there again.”

  “Consistently soggy and wet fish, chips taste like fried chicken. Staff members very polite and accommodating but looks like they are operationally held back from serving quality food. Everything seems to be cooked in batches and left to keep warm. Fine for sausages etc but not for fish. Frequently disappointed. Owner suggested that potato scallops were strictly “a Manchester thing” and that you wouldn’t find a chippy in Leeds that serves them?? Not exactly hard to slice up a few potatoes at the start of the week and throw them in the freezer especially when a fish & chip shop staple.”

  “The large fish and chips is more like double portion of chips and a tiny piece of fish wrapped in way too much batter. The fish is very oily and the chips are dry. The food quality has gone down. It's not the same Cantors food that I knew before”
