Walkers Fish Restaurants — Restaurant in England

After years of supporting another local chip shop they had a change of ownership and, whilst their shop was closed for a refit, some friends called in here and were mightily impressed.

So, on the strength of that, we decided to give it a go and telephoned and order through for me to collect - it had just come out of the fryer as I arrived. The guy behind the counter was excellent and friendly.

The portions were immense. I have no idea where some of the reviewers here normally est fish and chips from but a standard sized piece of fish that hangs over both sides of a dining plate is pretty god in my reckoning. The chips were equally good value - one standard portion being enough for the three of us with some left over.

The fish was very nice and cooked to perfection as were the chips and I'm told the gravy was very tasty (I don't do gravy with fish!)

Lastly I must come to the value. The portion sizes were the equal of our previous favourite and the food quality was just as good. The big difference was the price - at our old favourite what we had this evening would have cost £18.50; at Walker's it was £12.35. That makes our previous favourite 50% dearer than Walkers for the same quality.

I know where I'm going for my next fish and...

Visited Walkers fish and chips restaurant today on a Saturday. Very quiet as it was past the lunchtime peak period. Very friendly staff. One serving and the other frying. Was attended to very quickly and efficiently. Had the fishcakes and chips, cod and chips with tea and pepsi. Waiting time for the meals not too long, especially as it was all cooked to order. Well presented and good portions. Would have like to have also had a lemon wedge but not to worry. Good portion of cod nicely battered with plenty of chips. The vinegar didn't seem to taste of anything even when putting loads on the food. Not sure if it was watered down ? The chips did taste bland unfortunately and also seemed very dry to taste. The cod itself was nice and moist but again the batter did seem bland. Not overly greasy but just no real taste. Perhaps if I could have tasted the vinegar and had the lemon it may have improved things. Overall it was nice but not outstanding. The two staff members seemed nice and friendly and that always goes a long way. I'll leave...

An experience I wouldn't wish on anybody. We were running late because of traffic so decided to stop off in St Austell to see if we could find something to eat, this unfortunately for us was the only place open. Had I not been so hungry I'd have never gone in. The 2 women behind the counter were as miserable as sin. It was hot and they were bored, they had 2 hrs left of their shift and my god didn't we know it. We ordered 2 lots of fish and chips and one of them set to work cooking in the kitchen area. It took about 15 minutes of waiting, we tried to make conversation but they weren't up for it, they just kept grumbling between themselves. When the food was ready the woman at the front scooped it into boxes. The chips looked they had been reheated from lunch time and the fish was that heavily battered you couldn't see the fish. It was so greasy when I bit into it i felt sick, the chips weren't any better. I wish I could have given a better report but sorry girls you need to get your act together on...
