It is spacious and well laid out, it's clean and the facilities are good. Service is quick and the staff are usually very friendly. The only thing that lets down the chip shop; and the reason why it's four stars not five, are the prices. The food is extremely good quality, the selection is excellent, the service is good. In fact everything is excellent apart from the prices, which even though you expect to pay a little more for higher standards this is still a chip shop and the prices are too high for the standards to warrant. I used to go to the chip shop regularly but tend to use Parkinsons or even moby dicks now.

Justified: British chips are healthy. Well. That might be a slight bold-faced lie. But it's not…read moreentirely without a grain of truth. Whilst in England this August, and surrounded by chips, chips and gravy, chips and mushy peas, fish and chips, and sausage and chips, I stumbled upon a few internet articles that broke down the calorie count in typical English fare. (See, a few internet articles! Corroboration! It must be true.) Amongst the standard take-away choices, fish and chips was the healthy choice. But the standard take-away consisted of Indian curry, donner kebab, Chinese, pizza, and fish and chips. In other words, fish and chips were the least likely to cause a heart attack, although all were more certain to cause a heart attack than a home cooked meal. And a home cooked meal does NOT include popping several frozen dinners into the oven/microwave. Just like home made custard does not mean adding Byrd's powder to real milk. Back to my justified article. Vis-a-vis American fries, the British chip had less fat because the chip is bigger. Thus, less surface area-to-volume of potato. Ok. That's really the only scientific part. And even that's not really science. Or a justification. But what was I going to do? I was in a small, country town, full of sensible people that liked local produce, surrounded by fields and cows, and 4 fish and chips shops. And every restaurant served some version of fish and chips. I couldn't get away from chips. When I closed my eyes, puppet chips would sing and dance. In the shower, I found myself humming a chip-eating song. The wrought iron bars of St. James church looked like chips. I ate here at least twice. Twice that my BF knows about. It may have been more frequent than that but at this time, I can neither confirm nor deny those reports. The fish was big. Length of my arm big. Haddock. Delicious. Fried fish is amazing. One big downside is that the fried fish is COMPLETELY UNSEASONED! You have to douse it with salt like a vicar exorcizing demons with holy water. And in order to get the salt to stick, you have to spray the filet with vinegar like a tom cat marking new territory. And in order for the vinegar to penetrate the beautiful, breaded, fried exterior, you MUST repeatedly stab the crunchy coating with a fork. The fish and chips come in a sturdy cardboard box with a layer of chips underneath the massive haddock. After I performed the salting ritual as stated above, I had a lovely pile of salt in all 4 corners, and NONE ON MY CHIPS or fish. I was forced to break off a piece of fish, dip it in salt, and let it all come together as I chewed. I was laughed at when I put pepper on my fish.

On my journey to Cleethorpes, this place was one of the stand out experiences…read more I was told on good authority, the chap, that this was the place to go for good fish and chips so we ate here on the Saturday evening. Having spent the day taking in all the tourist activities, by 5pm we were really ready for a good solid nosh. And it's a good job we queued when we did, as within about 10 minutes of our arrival, the queue was half way down the street - an accolade to how popular this place is. The décor is cute, with lots of wooden panels, cute booths, and a sort of tea room feel to the upstairs dining area. It's definitely busy, and popular, so if you're a tourist get in quick lest you wait an hour for a table. I believe they do take away, but sitting in is a must unless it's a spectacular day to sit by the sea. The menu is straightforward - the main affair, obviously, is fish and chips. These come in different sizes, but let it be known that the medium is enough to feed a small army. There is a 'smaller appetite menu', if you're afraid of the huge portions, and a pot of tea and bread and butter comes with the fish and chips. Lovely, properly British. I'm not sure if my palate isn't advanced enough to tell the difference between seaside fish and chips, and city fish and chips, but I wasn't sure I could tell. That's not to say it wasn't utterly delicious. The gravy was exquisite, the batter was perfect, and the fish itself was never-ending and scrumptious. And of course, the pot of tea was the perfect accompaniment, although you're able to grab a lager if you can stomach beer alongside filling f&c. I hardly ever trust a cuppa outside my own house, but this was a solid pot. The staff were lovely, hard working, and managed to stay welcoming and friendly in spite of the volume of customers! All in all, a must if you're in town.

HA! It takes a trip across the Atlantic in order to get a first review in this day and age…read more I was in England for a family visit. We stayed in Louth. It was cute and quiet but seriously lacking in decent fish and chips. I kept hearing murmurs that fish had to be from Grimsby in order to be good. Go to Grimsby. If it's not from Grimsby, it's not worth eating. Ok. So where was Grimsby? And isn't this in Cleethorpes, not Grimsby? First day we were here, the day we landed in Humberside, we were whisked away to Cleethorpes for a proper tuck in of fish and chips. I was a little tired and cranky having just sat on an airplane for too long. But hungry. At Steels, there are different sizes of fish to order. Small. Medium. And PIGGY. I had a medium. After all: medium what? It turns out, fish come in different sizes! Who knew? A small fish was a bit bigger than my hand. Still very decent in quantity and high in quality. Medium turned out to be much too big but I ordered it anyway. Twice. It was the length of my forearm and wide as the oval plate. The fish arrive atop a pile of delicious chips. Oh Chips. Oh Chips. And then gravy. Oh gosh. I have a bad bad habit. The fish was nicely fried and even covered in a thin, light batter. The great thing about fried fish is that the batter is tasty when served fresh. And when you take the leftovers home, you can peel off the batter. But let me get back to the gravy. I didn't develop this crush until the last week we were in England. Because gravy makes chips go down even easier. Typically, I can eat one-third a serving of small chips. But serve the chips with gravy? I can suck down that puppy faster than the Kardashians can sell the rights to their anal bleaching. Mushy peas were atomic green. Buttered bread. Something so simple can steal my heart like a Welsh Terrier on a killing spree. And yes, I took all the leftovers home, from the entire table, including the buttered bread. Service here was very very good. Cleethorpes is a seaside town, if you know what I mean. There are many competing fish and chips shops. But this is the one that you queue up for. This is the one where you queue up and wait and wait because it's really quite impressive what they can do with a fry-a-lator.
