About Tom's Fish & Chips
On Manchester Rd in Southport, Tom's Fish & Chips runs more like a Chinese takeaway that also serves fish and chips. The menu covers the standard fish and chips range alongside Chinese dishes, with ribs named among the offerings and curry sauce available on the side. Fish portions come in a generous size, and orders are placed on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. The kitchen is compact, and waits can stretch during busier periods as a result. No seating is described on site, with orders picked up for takeaway.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often describe Tom's as a Chinese takeaway first and a chippy second, praising generous portions and dishes they call tasty, with the ribs singled out as outstanding. The fish and chips earn praise too, with one reviewer calling the fish a very good size and well cooked. Several mention friendly, pleasant staff and chatty customers while waiting, and a few accept a late order at peak times given how popular the place is. The chips draw the sharpest complaints. Reviewers describe them as dry, greasy, or cut from small off cuts about two to three centimetres long, and one found a fish cake soggy with no taste of fish. Another reports too much batter on the cod, potato scallops like rocks, and papers soaked in oil and falling apart. A former regular found the curry sauce tasteless and the portions smaller. One diner ended up binning over half the order.

“Stunningly good fish and chips and a Chinese dish - super friendly and amazing value for money! We will definitely be moving to Tom’s as our ‘go to’ for fish suppers and Chinese takeaways!”

“it's very good for Chinese food which we do have regularly. Alas, the chips are STILL very dry, and come with lots bits as though cut from small potatoes, also very poor soggy 'fish' cake with no taste of fish whatsoever....I thought they had to be named Savoury Cakes? Susie is always pleasant and helpful.”
