About The Admiral 5 Beighton

The Admiral 5 Beighton is a fish and chips restaurant on High St in Sheffield, serving families with young children through the high chairs on site as well as customers eating off site with takeaway. The menu runs to four dishes, with Yorkshire Fish Cakes among them alongside Pie & Chips. Cod is used for the fish, and jumbo sausages appear on the menu too.

Customer Review Summary

Complaints dominate the pattern at The Admiral 5 Beighton, with chips repeatedly described as reheated or barely warm and batter called dark, greasy, or "bitter old oil" rather than freshly fried. Several reviewers single out the fishcakes specifically, one finding them "swimming in grease" with stiff potato, another saying there was barely enough fish to see without a magnifying glass, and the accompanying jumbo sausages and kids' sausages fared no better, with one describing a curry sauce dip as lumpy. Portion size draws mixed reaction: some call the chip butties and bread cakes generous enough to feed several people, while others feel the sausage special or an £8 fish special is poor value for a small amount of chips. Service is inconsistent too, with a few noting friendly, polite staff while others describe a flat, joyless counter experience. One reviewer who has returned recently does report a good size cod that was fresh, crispy, and not soggy, with friendly service that evening.

    Fishcakes don't bother, thay was so little fish you would need a magifieing glass to find it, potato was ok it was mostly batter and very thick and dark brown. The chips tasted like thay had been cooked earlier and then reheated for service. The kid's had sausages omg thay was so horrible thay both had one bite and said could thay leave them i did have a little bite we even tried dipping them in the curry sauce but that was so lumpy and gluepy. A word to the staff at Admiral 5 is get your act together. This isn't a fish and chip shop. It's a disgrace. We only pop in as we was in the area more fool us. Will never go agin. 🤮

    Food is good, prices are steep for what you get. The service always seems flat! This time, I had a lovely lady serve me, however the fryer didn't crack a smile once. I've had this a few times from different people.

    Just been to the admiral in Brighton and nothing only chips and sausages. When I got home the chips ended up in the bin wouldn’t have given them to a dog so ended up paying £9 for a sausage
  • Adam
    Friendly young lady served me, got home and the fish cake was swimming in grease. Potato was still stiff. Cooked for to long in fat that was not hot enough. The jumbo sausage which accompanied the fish cake was as pale as I have ever seen. Nice people who work there but are destroying a great British tradition. Shameful.
  • Matt Bryce
    Recently not to bad in terms of quality however massively over priced for what you get, large sausage special is what I would consider a very small portion of chips and the batter is always dry dry so would avoid Anything battered. …
