Description

The Dolphin Restaurant offers a mixed experience, with some diners praising its delicious fish and chips and excellent service, while others express disappointment over food quality and cleanliness. Many found the fish lightly battered and flavorful, complemented by attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere, even for pets. However, critiques highlight issues like greasy chips, long wait times, and unclean facilities. Although it claims to serve the best fish and chips in the region, varying customer experiences suggest a need for consistency. Overall, this establishment may still be worth a visit for potentially delightful flavors amidst its shortcomings.

Once again, "The Dolphin" exceeded our expectations. During our visit to Southport, we always make sure to stop by our favorite chip shop. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, even assisting elderly customers who may need a helping hand. The fish and chips were absolutely perfect - the fish was tender and the batter was crispy without being soggy. Our meal deal, which included a drink, was a great value. While we usually opt for the senior meal offer, we decided to try something different this time and we were not disappointed. The steak pie and apple pie were also delicious. Thank you to everyone at "The Dolphin" for a wonderful lunch experience - we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Southport!

Fabulous food, fabulous value. The portions were enormous and everything was piping hot when brought to the table. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially with our 16 month old grandson. We will certainly be recommending and re-visiting when in Southport.

Fabulous spotlessly clean chippy. Really nice chips and piping hot too. Got served by a lovely South African girl who I chatted to as I love the food over there! Had some nice desserts but were full from the chips and we'd planned a chippy crawl that day so wanted to get a few places in. Would definitely recommend it as I love a sit down chippy!
