Atkinson's Fish & Chip Restaurant

Have seen a few bad reviews. We visited last year on our way north, and came back today. The staff were lovely and found space for us even though we arrived at closing time. The fish had lovely crispy batter, and was very nice indeed. Chips were great, and the peas were superb. Just as good as last year. Love the place.

Drove up from Clitheroe to spiritually visit my mother's ashes which were sprinkled into the bay many years ago. Morecambe was her favourite place back in the day. Googled for a good chippy and ended up at Atkinsons, delicious haddock and chips with curry sauce. Fish was snowy white, always a good sign, perfect chips and tasty curry sauce. Price was a little high, but portion size was generous, service was polite and helpful. Highly recommended. Pity odd reviews were quite vindictive. Before you offer a review be honest, and helpfully critical. Personal gripes can undermine businesses and cost jobs! My experience was very good.

Short version: By far the best fish and chips you'll ever have. Long version: Ordered 2x haddock and chips for my wife and I, which were cooked fresh to order. There was a slight wait because the place was busy and due to the fresh cooking, but that's a positive. If a place is that popular, it must be good. It's also worth the wait as these were by far the best fish chips I've ever tasted. The fish and chips were served in separate containers which being a southerner used to everything thrown into paper, was initially confusing until I realised why. This ensured that the batter on the fish remained perfectly crispy unaffected by the steam from the chips. Both the fish and chips had the perfect amount of salt and vinegar. The chips were crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. The star of the show however was the perfectly fresh haddock. The batter was light, crisp and remarkably non greasy. The fish itself was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Both the source of the potatoes and fish were clearly displayed on boards. There was also a good range of other menu items available. Despite how busy the staff were, they were extremely polite and helpful. Smiling and cheerful and non flustered. We took our takeaway down to the seafront and let Eric keep an eye on the seagulls which were remarkably well behaved. Nothing better than a fish and chip supper on Morecambe sea front, although 22° at 7.30pm was an unexpected bonus. But I'd gladly have sat and eaten them in the midst of winter in driving wind and rain they were that good. I'd seriously consider driving the 4 hours north just to have these again. However, I'm lucky to have family in the area so I will be visiting again!

Really tasty jumbo sausage and chips takeaway had from here a few nights ago, good portion size & value too. Highly recommended & will visit again. Many thanks to all the staff

Great food, good portions with friendly staff. Sit in bit was fresh and tidy with a goody bag given to my granddaughter and a wordsearch and pencil. She was delighted and also ate everything in her plate. We will return.
