Sea Lane Fisheries — Restaurant in England

I had been recommended this chippy. I had decided to look it up on Google maps to see the time the chippy closed. I had noted that it was busier than normal, as Google claimed, I got there and it had been empty, two young ladies at the front and then two older men walked out from the back. I had been greeted by both young ladies, I had then got the one behind the till and had wanted a recommendation for the food - I'm not fussy with food, they didn't decide on any food at the time - can't tell if it was nice food or not, they had then got the young lady who, at the time, was cleaning, they recommended large sausage, chips and gravy, I had gone with them (£4,50), the lady doing the till asked if I would like it wrapped or unwrapped and if I wanted salt and vinegar which I had it wrapped and salt and vinegar on, they put the vinegar on. I walked back to the place I was staying at, the food went a little cool due to it being pretty cool out and i had a fair few minutes walk. The food is absolutely lovely, I like it, soft chips and sausage, the gravy looked a little thick which is not to my liking but I have to say that it was really nice. The unfortunate thing about the place was the two men at the back, maybe because I was alone but I felt like I was heavily watched and judged. The food was...

Our family have been using thus business for years. However, last weekend we had a huge order for 20 people. We decided to ring the order through a few days before just in case they needed notice for such a large order. The gentleman who took the order was most unhelpful, telling us that we would have to wait our turn when we came to collect. Fair enough, we weren't looking for special treatment. Put his rudeness down to him maybe having a bad day. The tone of his voice was aggressive, rather than what he said. Anyway, Saturday approached and we went to collect our order. Sure enough we were kept waiting, despite having said we'd be there at 4.30pm. We were greeted with angry face and once the large order had been completed, the gentleman said "amen" in a very rude way. Consequently, they have now lost our custom and we will never buy from this...

We have visited Sea Lane Fisheries on many occasions. We decided to go there for our Good Friday Fish & Chips before heading down to the yacht club.

The standard of food is not very consistent here. Sometimes is is really great but unfortunately on this particular visit the batter was really chewy and the fish overcooked. Chips and condiments were great. Just the fish was a let down. But it was on Good Friday probably the busiest day of the year.

If you visit your are quite often queueing for a while and car parking can be a bit of a pain. There is extra parking at the rear of the building and you can park on the side streets and take a very short walk to the shop.

We will visit again but it's not my favourite chippy...
