We ordered burger and chips which came quite promptly. We were not impressed with the chips they looked very anemic the burger itself was okay. The waitress asked if we wanted any sauces we ordered some tomato sauce and some mayonnaise, but they never arrived I won’t be going there again.

Went for lunch on Saturday as was in Southsea for the day.
I had the 2 course senior menu, plaice and chips. I thoroughly enjoyed both courses and the fish was so tasty. Special mention to Leanne who was efficient and lovely. All staff were great.

We visited Papa's Fish and Chips in…
We visited Papa's Fish and Chips in Blackpool. The service was impressively fast, and I ordered a beef burger without mayonnaise which they got right, so I appreciated that.
Unfortunately, the burger itself was very dry and tough to chew, which was quite disappointing. My relative ordered the grilled seafood platter. The haddock was lovely and full of flavour, but there was very little salmon on the kebab and it came without the salad garnish that was described on the menu.
The only other issue was that the same Sam Fender song was playing on repeat for most of our meal, which became quite frustrating. When we asked for it to be turned off, it took about five minutes for it to be switched off.

The fish and chips were really nice
The fish and chips were really nice , fish very fresh. Despite being exceptionally busy and advised food would be 1 hour it arrived much quicker than expected. Staff very friendly and special mention for Lynne who made me feel very welcome as a solo diner.

Visited the new Southsea restaurant yesterday, food was excellent as expected. What stood out for us was the excellent customer service, everyone was so welcoming and friendly without being over the top. So nice to see. Carry on the good work!!!

We recently visited Papas in Cleethorpes as a family of five and came away very disappointed.
The food was extremely overpriced for the quality we received. The bread was dry, the butter didn’t taste pleasant, and even the ketchup was poor quality, which really surprised us. Overall, the meal didn’t justify the price we paid.
What made the experience worse was seeing members of staff arguing with each other in front of customers, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The toilets were also in a very poor state of cleanliness, and the toilet door wouldn’t even close properly.
For the amount we spent, we expected a much better standard of food, service, and cleanliness. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning. There are plenty of smaller, independent local restaurants in Cleethorpes that offer much better value, friendlier service, and a far more enjoyable dining experience.
