Very rare I find a chip shop outside of my town and I enjoy the food 🙈. I am literally sat in the car whilst still eating the food and writing this review. After a weekend at Butlins I promised my little boy some donuts from the seaside. On the way to get these I decided actually we needed some proper food first so would find a chip shop. The route from Butlins took us down some residential streets and I saw Seaview fisheries so decided to stop. On walking in we were asked if there was anything that needed ordering like fish or chicken nuggets, super fast in acknowledging that we were there unlike some places where you have to catch the eye of staff. The shop, behind the counter and the cafe/seating area all looked immaculate. I witnessed all staff cleaning their hands after each order and after handling the money, card machine and using the till. Food is incredible. Chips looked a little anemic so I was worried as I like a dark fluffy chip but these are beautiful (they must be frying new potatoes). Chicken nuggets are to die for, the absolute best nuggets my son (8yrs old) has ever had. Food super hot and fresh. Will definitely be returning on our next visit to Skegness. I've also sent the address to a friend who owns a caravan so she can add it to her list of recommendations for guests...
Read moreWe went to this restaurant last Wednesday having research fish and chip shops on the web prior to our visit to Skegness and being very impressed by the ecstatic reviews and score of 5 stars. We were looking forward to our meal immensely and arrived around 4pm before our homeward journey. All I can say is what happened Seaview? The premises were clean and tidy the mug of tea we ordered hot and strong but the meal was absolutely awful! The chips were pale and anaemic, and had obviously had been cooked for a long time because many were too hard to get your fork in and they went cold after a few minutes. The fish was OK but the batter was applied far too thickly resulting in large crusts of overcooked batter that was very greasy. My husband also had mushy peas which he said was delicious and the best part of the meal. We were so disappointed, coming as we do from a landlocked Midland city, seaside fish and chips are eagerly looked forward to. The only thing we could put the bad experience down to was the time we ate, there were few other customers in the restaurant at the time, however, with reviews a good as this restaurant has this should not be a factor. Needless to say we wont...
Read moreWe visit Seaview Fisheries about 3 times a year when visiting Skegness.The quality of their fish and chips is usually excellent quality and quite generous portions.After lockdown we made effort to visit them at least once this year. My ,how things have changed.I ordered at the door and was told my order would be approx 6 or so minutes.After a 15minute wait I was given my order. We went to a nearby car park to enjoy our meal. The fish was much smaller than before and there were not as many chips.The fish was swimming in cooking oil and soaked through the paper.I also ordered a bread roll which was missed from our order. Dissatisfied to...
