Lovely chippy. Great staff. Great food. I tried all the chip shops in Ambleside for fish and chips, and this one is by far the best in Ambleside. I got fish and chips from there twice in the week, and wow, beautiful. Great family run business.

I am Canadian and lived in Ambleside for 4 months and visited this restaurant weekly. I recently returned and dropped in to purchase some food. The food was always cooked on the spot, the portions generous, and the hospitality wonderful. I have nothing but positive comments to say about The Old Smithy.

Popped in for a takeaway and the food was cooked fresh to order. Staff were friendly and happy to chat while they worked. Food was very, very good and we would recommend visiting if you are in Ambleside.

I was enticed by the £5 mini fish and chips takeaway, but once I entered I ordered a large fish and chips for £7.95 and I didn't regret it - big portions enough for two. Batter was light and flavourful, almost like tempura. The inner batter was kind of mushy which I liked because it was a contrast in texture. The fish was smooth and firm yet not dry. Really delicious, although slightly on the greasier side, especially the chips . Their pies were tasty and affordable.

Absolutely delicious - home made batter was lush, loads of chips freshly cooked so a little wait. But definitely worth waiting for. Served by very pleasant staff.

We tried to visit you this afternoon as we have done so many times before, but your eat in area was closed, so we visited the Walnut. We much prefer to visit you, but we needed to eat in. Please think about opening your eat in area for self service. There is no restaurant in Walnut, only 3 tables to eat at after ordering via self service. Can't you offer the same?
