Lived in Formby over 30yrs. Always passed James because it never looked busy and assumed meals would be substandard. Was in the pet store next door some weeks ago and thought I'd try some fish and chips. GREAT, fish was huge, couldn't finish off all the chips and £2 cheaper than the other chippies in Formby. Been in a few times since. Very nice pleasant staff. Being a fish, chips and peas man l can't comment on other meals.
Oh come on, what's not to like real quality scrag served by wonderful staff.
Dont want something, want to change a dish, just ask them, they shall do their very best to fit in with your choices.
All at very fair prices.
We all need to be supporting Local Businesses & Trade, especially when they do it this well.
Now, I'll be havin' mine without the veg, can you change this for that & that for this?
Perfect, i'll go and have a swift pint or two whilst it's being done
& gimme some of those brill Prawn Crackers.
Mint.
....no connection to James' other than a few years enjoying their food.
To be fair it was pretty quiet when I was here so the service was quick & efficient but then again its quick & efficient when they are really busy. The staff are great & work brilliantly as a team The food was piping hot & they cook the fish to order & my hubby said it was some of the best fish & chips he's ever had. The chips were fresh from the frier & were delicious, they made a yummy chip butty.
I've always gone to this chippy & its very rare that you don't enjoy the food.
Great food, price and service
Love the food here! Had king prawn with special fried rice and chips between two of us. Loads of food good price and really really tasty.
Good, quick, friendly service. Nice food. Good value.
Shame a "Large" chips isn't large. But hey that's shrinkflation for you. Shame they close early and you can't go after the pub closes.
For Chinese take-away, nothing will compare to this when I return to the States. The Sweet/sour pork is amazing. Their ribs are amazing. The spring rolls as well. I've not been disappointed with anything the couple times I have ordered from here. I have only ordered the Chinese selection as of yet, so I cannot speak for the fish/chips side of the establishment, but if it's as good as the Chinese take-away, it'll be amazing as well.
Nice place to eat fish and chips. Loved the taste and well cooked fish ! ❤ soft nicely cooked chips ! Will definetly go here again to eat the fish and chips . You can take this fish and chips to nearby formby beach .
It has parking place as well . But it opens in the afternoon not in the morning like some resturants are open !! This is a take away and best during these covid times !! Just Loved the fish and chips . Very nice, soft and yummy taste .
Back open now having been closed during early period of Covid pandemic
Great food at great prices. Will make alterations to suit your liking. Also sell the famous Hollands steak and kidney pies unlike the other chippy in Formby that refuses to stock them saying his customers dont like them when really its he who doesnt like them as he says they smell awful because of the kidney in them. Not only that James is much cheaper on everything like fish, pies, chinese meals everything is much cheaper and often better quality.
Closes earlier these days like most chippys seemed to do.
They close at 9pm but on the plus side they take card payments now.
With everything increasing in price I have found this Chinese/chippy to be the cheapest for miles around.
I paid £6.50 for just one fish at another chippy only days ago and today 7th Sept 2022 James fish price is £4.20 which is cheaper than any other local chippy
