We have visited this cafe annually when it was known as The Middle Chippy when visiting Blackpool with friends to see the Illuminations. It was always really busy and great value for money. We visited on a Saturday evening at 5.45 and the cafe was empty. We were so surprised and a little cautious as to why it was empty on a Saturday evening. The menu has changed and it is now a licenced cafe. The fish and chip special has gone from the menu which was really good value. It is now more expensive to order fish and chips. The take away section appeared relatively busy with a continuous stream of people. The young girl waiting on was pleasent and we didn't have long to wait for our orders. The fish and chips were lovely and non greasy. Just a shame you now have to pay more. Inside the cafe it hasn't changed with the same basic tables and chairs and dated decor so it's not as if you are paying extra for your surroundings. Would we visit again? Probably, but it wouldn't be our first choice anymore. There is a toilet but it is outside in a little outhouse and I'm told there is no hand basin. We went across the road to Sainsburys to use their facilities.
