Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the haddock and chips, with the haddock described as fresh and cooked to order and the chips as crispy, one calling them the best of decades of chip shop dinners. Close behind are the battered sausages, called meaty and juicy, and cod with crispy batter. A few also mention meal deals with sausages or a burger. Portions are called more than enough, several describe the prices as reasonable, and a pensioner cod special is mentioned. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and polite. The complaints are specific. One diner asked for cod and was given haddock with the skin on, which they disliked. Another tasted slightly old oil and doubted the texture of the cod. One reviewer found the shop small, with little room when busy. A vegetarian and pescatarian reviewer said the chef confirmed beer batter and no beef dripping, and asks others to check before ordering in case anything changes. One couple finished their cod, chips and sausages on the benches around the corner, watching the waves.

“Asked for a couple of portions of cod and chips. They gave us haddock. Unfortunately not keen on haddock so was a waste of money. Skin on also which I didn’t like.”

“Love this Fish & Chip shop. We always visit here when we're in Lowestoft. As usual the fish & chips were lovely and the staff are still smiling.”

“Amazing fish and chips, “halal” as we asked chef about how they cook, beer batter and if they use beef drippings. So if you’re vegetarian, Muslim or pescatarian it’s a great shout. Please always check before ordering in case anything changes.”

“Absolutely top food. I had the "3" sausages and chips meal deal with a can of Coke (full fat lol 😆) Mrs had the burger and chips meal deal with a can of Rio, all came to 16 quid, which, given the size of portion you (more than plenty) get i was never going to moan at. Will definitely be visiting again the next time we venture into Pakefield.”

“I came back for fish and chips where we went when I was a child in the 60s and 70s during stays with my grandparents. The haddock was so fresh, in fact the best I ever had. Chips were crispy. The service was super friendly. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
