Description

On this site, you will find the complete menu of Friendly Dolphin from Sutton. Currently, there are 6 dishes and drinks available.

Sutton’s renowned fish and chips restaurant offers mixed experiences that leave patrons debating its overall quality. While some rave about the unbeatable lunch specials and generous portion sizes, others have raised concerns over rising prices and a cash-only policy, particularly during a pandemic. Many note the friendly service, especially from long-time staff, but occasional lapses in food quality and service speed have dampened some visits. Clean and modern, the establishment remains a go-to for takeaway, making it a worthwhile stop—just come prepared with cash and an understanding of fluctuating standards.

Was Anonym at Friendly Dolphin a mag?
This restaurant in Sutton is widely regarded as the best spot for fish and chips. While the prices are a bit higher than average, with a typical dinner costing over £10, it is still considered reasonable. Keep in mind that they only accept cash payments and do not take cards. This is something to be aware of before dining there. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Friendly Dolphin:
The prices have increased, and the quality has decreased at this restaurant. The three savaloys I ordered were tough and overcooked, with the coating peeling off in my hand. However, the owners were friendly. I would suggest this place if you're okay with this level of service. View all feedback.

The staff at this restaurant are incredibly rude to customers, lacking any respect and taking too long to provide service. Their lack of respect is evident in all their actions.

As a chippy fan, I am trying to check all the chippies out. The Friendly Dolphin Fish and Chips is located accross the road from Sutton Station. It was my first time, so I just got a pound worth of chips to start. The chips were not greasy with a full on potato tastes strangely like crisps.

Really disappointed that they are cash only no signs saying that. It’s simply not safe to use cash during a pandemic and the answer “we don’t have a card machine, go to Tesco ATM” doesn’t cut the mustard. Firstly my phone is no use at an ATM and I know many people pay that way now. Secondly during the whole of a 5 month lockdown a card reader couldn’t be sourced? It’s down to not wanting to pay a percentage per transaction. That’s not great. The food was okay. Chips were fine. Saveloy tasted like it had been sitting there for hours. Very tough. Reasonable prices, fresh and clean interior, Perspex around counter, very good range of drinks and the guy did apologise (once I came back for food after searching in glove box for change) The card situation must be changed though. At least put a sign up warning people. I would never have gone in had I known. Maybe that’s the point.

The fish and chips here are fantastic - freshly cooked with generous portions. The restaurant was impeccably clean and we decided to dine in. I highly recommend this place for a delicious fish and chip meal whether you choose to dine in or take away.

I have been a loyal customer of this fish and chip shop for as long as I can remember. I always choose to dine here because of the friendly and polite lady who works there. The food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend the Friendly Dolphin to anyone looking for a great dining experience.
