    My favourite chippy in the world. As usual I had the haddock, chips and mushy peas, as usual it was…read moresuperb. You even get a scallop on top which makes it for me. The seating is unique, you can either be conventional and eat in the restaurant or eat in the bus. Yes this must be only place I've ever been to where you can eat in a bus. Family owned and it shows, it really is a gem. Only downside is parking can get a little tight but nothing can detract from this wonderful place.

    Near me there are no 'proper' chippies,we have lots of Chinese chippies (Who lets face it do…read moreawesome Chinese food,but the ones near me have never mastered the art of batter for fish). But no traditional English chippies,and by that I mean ones that cook things like they do by the sea,crispy bubbly batter and chips that taste like chips. Now,as much as I like fish and chips i'm not one for driving an hour to Blackpool for some (Not helped by the fact that I detest Blackpool these days). But i'd been told about Grandma Pollards a few years ago and as myself and Mrs Z were at a loose end the other day we thought we'd give it a try. First off the exterior,the front just looks like any other chippy/chippy restaurant,but round the back it is a different story. Not only can you eat your food in a parked up bus,they also have a picnic area right by the canal (see pics) and a lovely spot it is too! Being boring we decided to eat inside the plaice (see what I did there?) and we both opted for the same food namely jumbo haddock,chips and mushy peas,or to give it's real name,food of the mythical sky beings.... Large haddock said the menu,and bloody large it was too,it was hanging over the side of the plate large.It was also really,really lovely,the batter was crispy and bubbly in equal measure and the fish inside was soft,flaky and tasty. The chips did indeed taste of chips and the mushy peas were also of the top notch variety. Grandma pollard also sells home made pies (none of that Hollands mush) and their own cakes,and even though we were incredibly stuffed from our fish feast we decided to get a couple of pies and a brick sized vanilla slice to take home with us,all of which were very nice,especially the vanilla slab!! I am now very happy because i've found a proper chippy that is not too far away from home,and at the end of the day that's what's important in life,a proper chippy!!

    Counter service fish and chips done very well! Fast casual place where you can go in and your food…read more(either eat there quickly or take out)! Ordered the Haddock Fish with an order of chips and mushy peas. Fish was great! Chips were decent, not the best, but the fish was definitely the star of the show, cooked to perfection in a light, not overly oil-saturated batter. The kind lady behind the counter let me try a dollop of their gravy (it was wonderful)! Such a gem with good quality food in a no frills package! Great for a quick lunch or dinner as you're walking about and exploring the area. Would definitely come back!

    Was actually quite nice food however the service was horrendously slow waiting in the chippy for…read moreover an hour with not even an ask for my order. when I eventually ordered there was no battered fish left and I had an outrage almost storming out with anger. I instead order a battered sausage and some chips. the ambiance was terrible with a thick clammy smell as if there was no airflow for years. Alright food but wouldn't consider going back until they figure out their problems and get their priorities straight and hire new faster less judging eyeing staff who clearly did not like my appearance and hope they figure out what the smell is and that they remove it immediately. really a shame about those because the food was great and five stars just wasn't worth the wait and the smell.
