    Ate in & went for regular cod & chips plus mushy peas. Lovely fish. Good size enough to share with my husband. Nice cup of tea. Filled us up nicely. Even took a chip butty home for later. Although 2 slices would have been nice for the money. Would have been nice if fat on batter could have been soaked up by kitchen roll before serving but fish tasted fine. Chips a bit pale for me but again great tasting especially with lots of S&V. Hope to try the beer batter & ice cream sundaes sometime😋

    We have just moved to the area and are delighted to have found this chippy on our doorstep. We've had fish n chips twice now and it's to die for. Definitely one of the best chippy's I've been to. Staff all polite. The only downside for me is that it is cash only. I rarely use cash nowadays so have to go to the cash machine if we want a chippy treat. But that is just a minor gripe, it won't stop this being my regular go-to chip shop. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic fish and chips! The fish batter was lovely and crunchy and the chips were spot on. The lads were pleasant, cheerful and helpful. A great place to visit. Great food...smashing service!

    The chippy/restaurant had a weird smell to it, couldn't put my finger on what it was but I've smelled it before, it wasn't nice. The fish served was clearly off, or contaminated with something. Tasted sour, not like fish, and smelled strongly of ammonia When we said we didn't like the fish, the guy just said "oh well, ok" and didn't seem to care, and then disappeared for 10 minutes so we just left We took the 2 drinks with us to take the taste out of our mouths and ate elsewhere, just hope we're not sick from the tiny amount we did eat

    fantastic fish and chips and good value. dined in and we're looked after so well. unlike so many places they sorted the kids out first so we didn't need to spend ages blowing on hot food whilst ours went cold. above and beyond.

    This was an amazing chippy before to two new men took over. Chips are under cooked as well as the batter on the fish bites and fish. Been here 3 times in the past 2 weeks and the food was absolutely shocking, John would not let his standards drop so why are these two not keeping up with the standards. Also the young man who does the wrapping and till has no clue what so ever? He is kinda strange as he always talks to himself and panics at anything he does. You would give him a request and he would look and act like you are speaking a foreign language. I wouldn't mind but he has been there over a month now and he is still really, really bad.

    Excellent fish and chip shop with cosy sit in restaurant. Food freshly cooked and piping hot. Friendly staff. Brilliant value for money. Will go again

    Excellent value for money, generous portions and fish is cooked fresh. We had regular cod which was massive. Curry sauce was very good. Bit old fashioned but who cares if the food is great.

  • 1/5 Andy H. 1 year ago on Google
    This used to be a great place and I loved getting my food from here, sadly though as nice as the new owners are the quality of the food just isn't the same, seems like the prices have increased but portion sizes are smaller which is a shame as this was my go to place ☹️

    Went in the other night, staff couldn't of been nicer even though they where rush off there feet. Food was lovely and a good price. Will be back again ☺️

  • 1/5 Dave N. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be great but it seems that the new owners can't handle any more than 2 people ordering at once. Last time I went they completely forgot my order....Won't go back.

    We came across this place whilst in Lytham and it’s a bit of a hidden gem! Really generous portions and good prices. We had the regular special which was cod or haddock, chips, peas, bread and butter and a cup of tea or coffee for £10.50. They also do pies, cheeseburgers, chicken burgers etc. Staff very pleasant and helpful. There’s some tables for indoor seating in the back room and a toilet upstairs. Would visit again if in Lytham.

    It's a few years since we were last here and the Haven has changed hands in that time - following a favourable review in the Sunday Times we decided to give it another try. The fish and chips were OK if not the best we've ever eaten and the guys are obviously trying hard, but they could do with sprucing themselves up a bit (nice to see the chefs jackets but they could do with a good bleaching!) and being picky, the tea would have been nice in a teapot rather than a teabag in a mug. Good luck to them though.

    Yesterday I bought fish and chips and mushy peas to take away. The fish and chips were freshly done while I was there, and the mushy peas were home made like my mother made. The meal was the nicest fish and chips I have had for many years. Well done lads I will be back again next Friday.

    Very disappointed, been a few times since the new guys took over. Always hit and miss. Last time though it all went in the bin. They need to change the oil and the fish tasted of nothing. The picture if of the tray the chips came in.

    Yes a very good chippy shop, not yet had food inside and very respectfully prices.

  • 4/5 Chris M. 10 months ago on Google
    Great fish & chip shop hidden away in St Anne's. Had take away but there is a small restaurant behind the counter.

  • 4/5 Don 1 year ago on Google
    Food was nice, the decor is like going back in time which I found quirky. There were two other tables occupied and it was deathly silent. Had fish, chips and gravy.

    We dont live locally and ive tried getting in contact with the shop directly, however, the shop has been under new management for a couple of months and the phone line is disconnected. We had fish chips and a drink on Friday, one of the cans of pepsi max we bought had a Best Before End of 2014. The taste was awfull. It does make me wonder if the have any other problems with BBE dates on anything more serious. Service was pretty slow and poor tbh. But food tasted ok. Be aware!

    Read the reviews and decided to have our lunch while visiting St Annes. My wife and I had the cod and chips which we really enjoyed. It was the best fish and chips I've had for a long time.Great service and value for money too. Nice people. We will definitely be back..

    Fantastic chippy highly recommend. The food was delicious and the staff were so lovely. Will look forward to another visit next year!

  • 5/5 Jon V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great chippy. The kind owner will fry any frozen chocolate bar that is brought here. There are also fritters and many diverse items.q

  • 1/5 Nadeem J. 1 year ago on Google
    The male person taking orders completely ignored me for 10 mins whilst serving other customers. Eventually got served by the lady working the tills. Not sure if this was just poor customer service or because my brown skin. Didn’t feel welcomed at all. Would not come back.

  • 5/5 Joe B. 1 year ago on Google
    Called in at lunchtime following a recommendation and they were right!! Decent-sized fish (and that was just the regular!), lovely batter and proper chippy chips all freshly cooked and piping hot. It doesn’t get any better!

  • 5/5 James M. 1 year ago on Google
    The Haven is cracking fish and chip shop run by characterful people. We ordered the children's fish bites (4 fish bites) with chips and a drink for £3.80 for two & fish, chips and mushy peas for two with two bottles of water for just over £26 and it was lovely. Really fresh, great, flaky cod in lovely golden batter and every bit got demolished by our kids. Will go again next time we're in Lytham.

  • 4/5 Stuart P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great old school fish and chips. Extremely clean, everything is cooked to order so please be aware there may be a wait. There was a queue when we turned up, but they served everyone quickly. Only loses a single star as don't offer card payments yet, but I'm being Uber picky!

    I've lived here for 13 years and only found out during lockdown last year that The Haven does haggis. I eventually got my haggis supper last night and I was not disappointed. My folks enjoyed their jumbo sausage and scampi. Definitely coming back. May even sit in. Thank you. Looking forward to the next visit.

    Homely and the best cuppa for ages. Haddock chips peas curry sauce with bread and butter washed down with superb tea. Just what was needed in a miserable night.

  • 5/5 Jian Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the bread crumbs coating extra crispy haddock
