I remember when a large chips from Whelans would at least feed 2 young children!! Tiny portion, not cooked enough and £4.50 for the privilege. Will try Lytham fish and chips next.

Beautiful thick pieces of cod in light batter, chips, mushy peas, fresh bread, and 2 pots of coffee that held 2 cups each, freshly cooked and piping hot. Delicious and cooked to perfection. Great service and a warm welcome too. Would definitely visit again.

There was a strange aroma when we went in which I found slightly off putting and my 8 year old was very vocal. We sat downstairs which had an odd set up of some large long tables. I found it odd that you could purchase a takeaway and eat it upstairs (we didn't venture up there). The food came very quickly and was hot. We ordered a kids sausage and chips and I went for the fish special. The chips were ok, bread was not the best quality but passable, the mushy peas were tastless, the tea was wet ... BUT the fish/batter was disgusting. It smelt as if the batter had SOURED and gone off. I only managed to eat a small bit from both ends before feeling sick. The aroma was off putting. The fish was very moist and spongy in texture. The batter was slightly undercooked but I don't think this was the main issue. I passed a comment and complained when I paid but all that was said was we would have put it back in the fryer ... I'm not a fussy eater and will eat most things (I even asked to take away my daughters chips which she didn't eat).
