What Dominique Saayman doesn't like about Ambleside Fish And Chips:
The restaurant is situated near the lake which is great. They don’t have sit down, you receive the order in a take away container and then you could sit down. The fish itself was really good it’s fresh haddock. However, I feel like you should not pay for ketchup or sauce when you pay for a dish.

Ambleside Fish & Chip Shop offers a picturesque view overlooking Lake Windermere. While some patrons were disappointed with portion sizes and quality of food, others praised the crispy batter and flavorful chips. The friendly staff and reasonable prices made it a popular choice, with a few hiccups like incorrect orders and missing condiments. The location near the pier was convenient for visitors, but parking could be challenging during peak times. Overall, the experience was a mix of highs and lows, with some considering it a hidden gem for excellent fish and chips.
