Papa's Fish & Chips Blackpool REVIEW - Voted BEST Fish and Chips in the UK?
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2024
- This week I visit Papa's Fish & Chip restaurant in Blackpool which used to be Las Iguanas restaurant. Papa's is the biggest fish & chips restaurant in Blackpool having a whopping 250 seats. Papas has been a family business since 1966 and most of its restaurants are in Yorkshire and the North East with most in Whitby. It has also been crowned with the BEST fish and chips in the UK!
Well let's tuck in and see if its all hype or it lives up to the name!

The best Fish and Chip in Britain is at Anstruther Fish and Chip Bar. Although located in a fishing village in Fife it has a constant queue for takeaways in which the Restraint is always busy. It is even visited and recommended by the Royal family in which its reputation is renowned.
Been there and I have to agree.
wow sounds good
ill check it out
Yes ! I've been to Anstruther beautiful place and yes yummy fish n chips❤
Very honest review, can’t give everyone a gold star! Those chips did look pale (they looked a bit stale but that was probably just the angle of the shot). If you’re gonna charge those prices you’ve got to keep your standards high & give the customers the deliciousness they’re expecting! Thanks for giving it an honest score - very interesting!👍👍
Yes I'm always honest lol
Great video Tim I been to Blackpool two times great seaside town next time I go will go to papas WOW there fish and chips looks delicious that fish sounded nice and crunchy 😊😎
give it a go scotty
Welcomed honest opinion rather than another fudged (out of this world, terrific unbeatable) review I heard from this very place recently. My fave Chippy Steels of Cleethorpes only 10 out of 10 I have given.
yay! thanks Brian
I think you have a very particular taste for fish and chips it would be really hard to find the perfect fish and chips with all of the things your wanting including mushy peas that don’t taste like or feel like peas and chips that don’t taste like potato :D
ill find it lol
@@WalkWithMeTim love the videos mate can’t wait for next one :)
I think with the potato thing hes referring to undercooked chips that have the earthy potato taste which isn't really pleasant, unfortunately so many chip shops don't seem to know how to do chips very well and end up like that. The peas thing may be a bit unusual though lol
Another great review/watch. Best fish, chips and mushy peas I have ever had was in Southampton Premier Inn Restaurant. 10/10. I ordered cod, chips and mushy peas. Husband had scampi, chips and mushy peas. He rated it 10/10. Just in case you have people that are wheelchair bound like me watching, they catered for all my needs.
Interesting video, Tim! I think the newspaper menus are more or less a parody of times when fish and chips were wrapped in newspaper to takeaway.
Love the fusion American diner and 80s feel...The only thing I must add though, is please hold your microphone nearer to the tasty dish, for that added crunch. 😅 Just kiddin'!
I totally agree! LOL
Great Vid Tim you need to do one in Great Yarmouth or Norfolk
Thanks Ross
I love you and your fish and chips... always great to see a chap enjoying his food 😊
😊 thank you
I went there for a takeaway today and thoroughly enjoyed the Haddock and chips. Excellent food and service 😋
Nice
Like your honesty mate
Hi Tim ! I know exactly what you mean by potatoey not nice at all . Thanks for the review. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
You are so welcome Tracey
Drove past there today, was tempted to go in....Next time I drive past won't bother looking twice now Tim. Thanks for the heads up hahaha
lol its only my review of course you might love it!
@@WalkWithMeTim I like my peas mushy, I don't like greasy batter and I like medium to well done chips what more can I say 🤣
Chips are anaemic - the two best places I have had are Terry's in Whitby just along from the Magpie - sit upstairs and look out over the harbour whilst enjoying fresh cod and chips - and the Fryery in Haltwhistle - picking my daughter up from University of Cumbria on a Friday night we couldn't go past it on the return journey to get her fresh fish and chips
yes Im going up to Whitby
Thanks for your review of Papa's. When you are next in Blackpool, visit Kay's fish & chip take away and restaurant. It is in Cleveleys, right next door to Cleveleys Bus Station. You will enjoy the experience at Kay's.
Thanks for the tips!
I'm from Scotland and I have to say when I went to Blackpool when I had fish and chips it was by far the best I've tried in my life I've only ever came across one chip shop that's even came close to it in Scotland
wow
@@WalkWithMeTim it's called the Alhambra Cafe
Bellshill north Lanarkshire but apart from that I've not tried anything close apart from as I said Blackpool
Good review Tim. Best fish and chips I have ever tasted is Fishworks in Largs. Amazing batter, superbly cooked chips and the best tartar sauce ever!
Thanks for the tips!
ill take a look
@@davidsworld5837 Is that Wellingtons chip shop? They do a nice supper. I usually go to Marco's just round the corner from it. Nice chips and they do a mini supper option for £2 as well !!
@@davidsworld5837 in the case of the magnificent Fishworks in Largs you get what you pay for Timmy tighthole
Papas in Weston super mare are the best, we travel a hour to get there but its worth it, fish and chips by the sea you can't beat it, thanks Tim for your review, we have booked blackpool in Nov, cant wait 😎😷 the beach house do awesome meals including their Fish and Chips 🍟
Good to know!
Hi Tim. You’ll have to try no1 and Mary Janes in Cromer and the pie and mushy pea stall in Great Yarmouth market.
already have video going soon!
Amazing chain lovely fish and chip review tim
Thanks 👍
These fish and chip reviews make me feel hungry
lol me too! even watching it back
Fancy peas tasting "vegetablely". Now there's a concept
Great video Tim best fish and chips is st marychurch chippy in Torquay our favourites 😜
Good to know!
Oh wow was you there today? I have left there at 4pm and had considered papas today but didn't go in back home now after a fantastic few days. Would have been great to see you
no tracy this was last week
@@WalkWithMeTim ok hope to see you dona review on our chippy lol
I went in their two weeks ago decided to try it to see what all the hype was, they did not have any other soft drinks so I ordered a bottle of water instead, then other people were ordering the larger fish dinners which came on wooden plates, for me the medium is as good as it gets because it is enough I thought the fish was good a little bland but the batter was nice and crunchy, as for the chips it depends what kind of potatoes they use I thought the chips were a little on the greasy side but it was all edible, I went twice I would not say it was the best fish and chips I have ever tasted that would be The Fish Works in Largs in scotland, considering that Blackpool has other places I would try somewhere else the next time.
Yummy are you go to do more fish and chips videos I had fish and chips at Wetherspoons on Monday
yes im doing lots more
Credit where credit is due. A nice honest review. Unlike some content creator's out there. 👍
Thank you
I know! Totally fair review. 'The MacMaster'🙄 is a clueless muppet. If he walked into MY restaurant, I'd tell him to fuck off and BAR the twat!🤣
Good Sunday afternoon to you sir and your family
Hey David
It would have to be French's in Wells Norfolk, alway a queue before opening at lunch time 😊
Last Tuesday we went into Papas in Blackpool and I have to say I really enjoyed their Fish and Chips , the chips were nice and loved the Fish very meaty and nice batter , didn't have mushy peas but the curry sauce was lovely, my only complaint was that they don't sell original Coca cola or Pepsi it's all diet soft drinks with no sugar , but I will return I preferred Papas Fish and Chips to Yorkshire fisheries which is overrated.
Good to know!
Hi Tim went to Eric’s on the outskirts of Hunstanton very good I don’t know if this counts as it’s about 15 minutes from sea front
ill check it out
The best fish and chips are my local one. Its called the Ring o Bells in Kimberworth Park and won joint 1st place chippy award in 2020 with Davians of Herringthorpe. Both in Rotherham. Would love a review of these from you
intresting Tracey!
What an original menu, brilliant.
I'm sure you've already tried number 1 in cromer Tim they're yummy. But we love Brillianr Fish and Chips in Caister on sea best in Norfolk x
yes and its coming on the channel
Hi Tim. Sorry I couldn't watch you live but 6pm is 6 cats dinner time and when you get 2 of them meowing from 5.30 you need to feed them before all 6 start meowing and you get 1 headache. Back to subject those chips didn't look tasty at all to me but the cod did. Sorry Tim I love peas with fish and chips but not mushy ones. Marie
I never did Marie and then I tasty some good ones .. I was hooked
Fair review.👍
Glad you think so!
Bentley's are easily the best chippy in Blackpool
ill check them out!
Just noticed that I’m not on the channel members list at the end of the video 🤷🏼♀️lol
sorry Ali P you was and every-time I edit the video I check the CZcams members list did you come off and go again I will triple check .. sooorrryy x
@@WalkWithMeTim
Lol it doesn’t matter , I was just checking you knew I was there lol 😊 look forward to tomorrow’s video 🎃👻💀
@@AliP23236 I now know lol Walk With Me advance members get there name on the screen thats why lol
@@WalkWithMeTim
Lol oh ok 🤦🏼♀️😂
Best cod and chips with mushy peas is at the Alexandra on Regent Road in Great Yarmouth
intresting . .
Sometimes the best fish n chips are right under your nose !
Great Yarmouth for me every time no point travelling really just stay local
Yum yum 😋 cheers Tim enjoy
🐟 n 🍟
I will be trying Gt Yarmouth very soon! ;-)
you should try the Newington Fish Bar in Ramsgate. They are multi award winners
Tim,PAPA s fish and chips were they the same company you sampled when you visited Scarborough
yes but does it taste as good
@@WalkWithMeTim Tim we’ll have ask Stephen 🕊
Pity, the takeaway chips I had from there were very nice (for Blackpool chips), if you get chance try some from a chippy on chippy street in Skegness, Eptons if it is still there.
ill take a look
Every chip shop is the best chip shop. They're all the same.
lol you clearly have not eat in the ones I have lol
Best chippy iv been is in Paignton chips Ayre fantastic loved the video.
Definitely KAYS fish and chip in Cleveleys (20 minutes from Blackpool) AMAZING
Interesting
I strongly recommend Belmont Bay Fish n Chips in Stanmore, NW London HA3 8RD. They’ve been voted the best chippie in London before and my orders from there have always been awesome. It’s takeaway only and no sea view but we’ll worth a visit.
Hey Tim, you should try the seahag in Lincoln city oregon. The best fish and chips I have had.
You need to come to valley way in Newmarket its all freashy cooked
I will take a look!
I'm not a big fish and chip fan too greasy for my liking but like these vids and keep watching in hopes you come across one that's not overly greasy.if that's your idea of a bit of salt what do you consider too much?
lol
It's Stafford Street in Norwich for me! Also I do like how the supposed best in the UK isn't even the best in Blackpool. Just shows how opinions can vary!
ill check that out!
Looks ok to me for about 8 quid. Probably a round tenner for a can of drink to wash it down. Can't complain. Like you say chips might need another 2-3 minutes. Why do so many chip shops get this wrong?
Would have been interesting to see the £14.99 giant haddock.
At £15 and a good £6 dearer than what you bought it's probably over priced.
A fair review but the title "best chippie"?
I don't think so
My local is The Fish and Chip Shop in Stevenage Old Town.
Few chairs/tables inside. I love it and have used it since it opened about 5 years ago
Highly recommended.
hence why I put the question mark lol
You need to try compos cafe in holmfirth, hands down the best in Britain 🇬🇧
best in Britain! wow
mac master you tube went there two wks ago , looked great
Oh dear..think i'll stick to C.Fresh...Foxhall area
lol
Fish & chip snob! 🤣
I personally don't like fish & chips, gotta be chicken & chips for me 😛😍
ps: it's Stourport, not Southport as Gabby said 😆
Tim
I love food and love Fish and Chips
and have eaten at many places around UK
I must say Tesco Finest Beer Battered Haddock or Cod
With a Light and Bubbly Batter made with Blacksheep Ale
2 pieces in a box for £4.50
I personally would say better than most Fish and Chip shops
Give it a try
sounds good! but it tastes better from fish and chips shop
Obviously not all
Fish and Chip shops
You only have Pappa's a 5
I give Tesco a 10
@@LeeJohn70 ha ha ha
Great fish....too pale chips
yes hate pale chips you know what you are going to get even before you taste them!
I think the best fish and chips are at the White Horse Cotton. Try it!
I will!
I think it is so busy in blackpool they will rush orders out to make as much money as possible.
yes agree
The fish are huge from papas I’ve only been in papa’s once but I was very impressed with the quantity I got lots of chips I couldn’t eat it all but it’s worth the money but you can’t beat a nice plate of fish and chips and mushy peas at the seaside
Well I tend to find that franchise chain restaurants are very hit and miss and tend to avoid them, they are never as good or as value for money as the independent local restaurants and besides, in relation to this particular chain, I never believe BBC!!! Thanks for the review and do not go skinny dipping in Blackpool after eating😁😁
agree!
Another great & fantastic video of Papa's Fish n Chips Blackpool REVIEW - Voted BEST in the UK?!.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, thanks!
Hi Tim
The fish didn't look like cod. The worst fish and chip test so far. Won't rush to get there or I'll send it back
Tim a very accurate assessment of your fish and chips I personally don’t rate them,in Scarborough they even closed one of their restaurants down now a KFC certainly not one of the best in the Uk I thought the Yorkshire fisheries was good value
really?
@@WalkWithMeTim They totally demolished the building and rebuilt a KFC
@@johnwebster6062 wow
Loved the menu, didn't like the look of the chips. great review
Thanks for watching!
Best fish and chips in UK has to be anstruther fish bar in Scotland 🤠
😃
Best fish and chips are in kidlington high street in oxford i go there once at the weekend each week in the evening the chips are so big and fresh and fish is too
I have eaten at 3 papas and they all taste different the kingswood one in hull has the best fryer of all the stores and we heard it from costumers to who had tried other stores
yes its strange I thought they would all taste the same
MC DERMONT’S IS THE BEST FISH & CHIPS IN SURREY AND ARE BEST IN UK. THIS COMES FROM SOMEONE THAT SUPPLIED TO THE TRADE, BACK IN THE EARLY 1970’S WHEN THERE WAS 28,000 FISH & CHIP SHOPS. WAS LAST THERE IN 2020 BEFORE LEAVING FOR AUSTRALIA...... 10/10 ***PLUS
Fair enough Tim. Back to Yorkshire Fish? ...just up the road.
Tim bisbam chipper in blackpool is the best
ill check it out
You should try Harry Ramsden’s
He has.
The,fish and,chips looked,so good
The Shark Fleetwood excellent
ooh ill check it out
Errrr Tim chips are potatoes and peas weather mushy or not are vegetables lol.
Those chips looked like Maria pipers low sugar content so don't brown in the dripping.
You need estima spuds to get nice brown chips
Thanks for the tips!
As you’re a fish ‘n’ chips connoisseur, I’d love to know what fish ‘n’ chips are the best you’ve ever tasted.
Your review is pretty spot on, we were there last Thursday and for the price it was poor, The batter was less than flavourful and the chips as you describe.
Thanks appreciate that it's of course only my view
Wow have to agree with you I’m afraid shame really but there was not enough fish for me it seemed all batter and a slither of fish you cannot win them all till the next one 😎
lol
Try Whitbys fish and chips Doncaster, excellent. 👍
Great suggestion!
Agree with Nick. Made my journeys to Donny worthwhile ! Opposite the racecourse in a converted fire station with a huge car park. Regular always enough for me , with Knickerbocker Glory to finish !
Visited on 21st October 2022,absolute car crash, out of the 4 of us only one meal was any good, fish overcooked and hardly any fish, chips, pale, cold, mushy peas, watery and tasteless, only thing any good was the jam sponge and custard, that we got with our meal.
Did you enjoy your fish and chips mushy peas Tim in black pool fromAndrewmay in yarmouth
So disappointing Tim when you pay top prices in supposedly the best fish and chip restaurant, you would expect better, I too thought the chips looked under cooked and under average, thank you for the review 😃👍
Tell me about it
for the price you paid , looked a good meal
had better lol
Have you tried papas in Weston super mare 👌
Nope .. any good
@@WalkWithMeTim yes spot on all the stars go there and also daves fish bar sheringham
I've been there!
Tasty fish and chips but rather pricey but love it
Best fish and chips ,dolphin hemsby ,always lovely
intresting
Stay at hemsby last ten years,only live in lowestoft ,and always use the dolphin always packed morning noon or night
Consistently 'actual' best fish, chips 'n mushy peas in South Yorkshire? Y-PAS, Kexborough.
:-)
FISH IS THE SAME ANYWARE TIM, ITS THE BATTER ADITIVES THAT CAN MAKE THE DIFERENCE,ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO
thanks Norman
Actually fish can vary from one place to another.
Did you get your mushy peas
yes did you not see lol
Have you tried Deep Blue fish and chips
no where?
@@WalkWithMeTim Norwich. NR65AA
@@Jackpot77777 ill check it out
That batter looked amazing BUT I find that the actual fish is very, very THIN.
I think the guy who aportions the fish used to work in a Jewish deli slicing up the smoked salmon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over priced in my opinion but each to their own, i loved the vid which you did with Sinead on the Jack the Ripper tour.
Thanks .. yes well over priced
Overpriced 🙄 I think it was great value for Haddock and Chips you should come to Glasgow it's over £8 in most chip shops for Takeaway Fish and Chips and they don't give you Haddock or Cod , it's cheap Fish called Whiteing which is not great 🤢
I preferred Yorkshire Fisheries in Blackpool tbh
same
Up there with Papas in Weston SM and Colemans of South Shields.
Both v.high quality.
The bestist fish and chips in the whole world are incredible but I keeping the location a secret because if you all turn up there might be none left for me.
lol
What a fud
The The papas in Whitby is the best
ill have to have a look
I went here in October but couldn't eat anything because the whole place smelled like a fish shop.
Tim your in blackers again and no mother hubbards give it a try my friend
lol I will do Colin
We tried papas as well way to much batter on fish and sue got a bone in her fish so that was a big Nono from the wife won’t be back their Tim
