Tates Fish & Chip Restaurant

Service was very friendly and efficient. I had fish and chips that were £6 with a drink thrown in. Obviously a smaller portion, but sometimes with fish and chips that’s not a bad thing. Chips could have been a little hotter, but in all very good.

There is a desert menu too, but I didn’t have room for that.

Disappointed and never again

Nearly 3 hours to order a delivery and still not arrived ???pointless to order from Tates .. Sam on holiday .. manager not in .. delivery via pizza parlour .. call them cos we don’t know ??
Update of 2hours 50 mins to arrive
Food freezing
Driver said that he collected the order over an hour before delivery
Inedible.. straight in the bin

I’m very understanding that sometimes things go wrong. That’s the way it is!
People are expectant but almost 3 hours !!
Not be using them again. Refund requested but no reply

Went had 2 cod and chips inside the service was quick the food was hot but the coffee wasn't hot! The fish and chips were lovely

I was visiting Boston for the weekend with my family (4 adults and 3 kids) and we wanted to have a nice Sunday lunch before we left. We came across Tates just off the main square. When we arrived there were 6 diners already there but was plenty of seating and we sat down and got comfortable. Even though there was only one staff member cooking and serving, he came over in a few minutes to take our order. The menu has a good range of fish, vegetarian, chicken and gluten free options. We had the large cod, scampi and cod bites all with chips. Everyone finished their food, even the fussiest eaters. The portions were generous. The prices were very reasonable. Overall we had a lovely experience and would go back again.
Before I visited I looked at google reviews and they ranged from 5 stars to 1 star so I was a little apprehensive. Fish and chips is best eaten fresh and hot, so I assume the low rated reviews are for ones where they had them delivered home.

Tates seems to have unfortunately gone down Hill . No more crinkle cut chips . Fish just about cooked .
Because it was too cold to sit outside I had to sit inside with the TV blaring out . Why do these places inflict this on their customers?
Loud noice while eating is not conducive to good digestion. I walked out with indigestion cos of this unnecessary noise .
Why not just have low music playing in the background ?
Will not be returning.

Visited Tates for the first time in years and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Offered us to sit in despite being close to closing time. The premises is very clean and well kept.
As a family of 6 we all had different meal options and all were beautifully cooked and thoroughly enjoyable. We all were very happy. Portion sizes were very generous, unfortunately we struggled to finish it all 😭.
Highly recommend. Best fish and chips 🥳

Menu states made to order, so expect a wait.
Good that’s fine.
Waited half hour and food came.
Chips barely warm.
Place was packed, so didn’t want to bother them, I just left them, and told them when I left.
The small guy behind shouted @impossible impossible” and gestured to the fryers.
Don’t tell me you tell my boss, only two working today.
Ok! And that’s my fault, how?
I would not pay for the cold food, even the burger was borderline warm.
So it wasn’t cooked to order.
Just apologise, don’t try charge for cold food, explain your under staffed, and that’s it.
But no he ranted on shouting after me as I left.
So here’s the review I promised you.
Your a disgrace, and need customer focussed training.
I did not raise my voice once.
But you vented your frustrations at a paying customer, who simply stated the chips are cold, not warm, cold.
Never will I step foot in here again.
Look at your recent reviews, there are lots about cold food
COLD FOOD.
Why don’t you listen.
Maybe you will when customers don’t return, or read these reviews.

Great food but they turned off the heating upstairs so nobody was dining there so it was really cramped. Very foolish management decision.
