Something fishy going on. Restaurants doesn't accept cards but there is a cash machine outside charging Ā£1.25 an transaction 😭Salad šŸ„— turns out to be just lettuce 🤣And a Ā£2.50 burger is on plain bread, no cheese, no salad, no sauce 😮This is one chippy we won't be going back too.

Update - April 2022This place has gone downhill. In fact if it was a hill I could slide down on a sled at 100mph. The service was good, always a smile from the friendly girls at the counter and bossman behind the fryer. The haddock was dead though, and I don’t mean because it’d been fished out of the sea but because it was small in size, mushy in places and really dry in others. I cook too therefore I know this was due to a poorly cut fillet which didn’t cook evenly.Please please sort this out and fit some heating and ventilation and I’ll leave 5 stars and am sure others will too!Old review:Excellent fish and chips. The haddock was large, flaky and well cooked with just the right amount of light batter. The chips were crispy and well cooked - also large portions. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Recommended. Wish I’d taken a photo. Maybe next timeEdit: visited again today and can confidently say this place makes quality fish and chips. The chips were again dry and crispy, but fluffy on the inside. The ā€˜regular’ size cod is meaty, chunky, and fresh with just the right amount of batter. The batter is light and crispy. A little greasy but then this is deep fried food! Mushy peas were hot and satisfying. A little too smooth - some texture would be nice. Overall a happy customer.

The best fish and chips in blackburn. It's too delicious that I was able to finish a large cod and a small cod in one meal and still planning to buy another one. The only down side is they dont have food delivery so we could order anytime. Will definitely buy another batch really really soon.#fishandchips #delish

Paid a Tenner for fish and chips and got a dry fish and cold cardboard chips that gave me stomach ache. This is the 3rd time in a row. Won't be going back. Don't understand why they cant do chips little and often.Seem to be a link between the boss being in and staff being grumpy and food being poor.

I'm not usually one to complain however..Ramzan kids decided they wanted fish n chips for iftaar and as our usual was closed (not mentioning which!) decided to order from Queens. Ordered 2 large fish and chips and paid quite a bit more than I do at my usual place to ensure the portions were the same size as my regular place. Anyway their large fish was smaller than what I pay a lot less forat the other

The fish and chips are nice but the scollops/dabs are terrible. I've had them 3 times and have regret it all 3 times. The first 2 times they were over cooked and the third time the potatoe was sliced too thick and was dry in the middle.

We ordered 1 fish and chips and 1 fish and peas. The fish and chips were lovely but the other fish was soaked in the peas that had completely covered the fish and had turned the batter in to mush so was thrown away. I’ll definitely be ordering separate peas next time.

Disappointed with this chippy. Thought I'd enjoy a good fish and chips but the fish wasn't fresh, you could tell it's been made for a while. I mean who would bother with a chippy if the fish doesn't come fresh after ordering. The pies as you could see were microwaved, the pastry had crumbled so the pie was soggy. Won't be coming back here

OMG we had fish & chips it was huge portion but so enjoyable. Perfect in every way. The tea was lovely. The place was so clean and fresh and the staff was great. Thank you.The down side the take away side, the guy ehind the counter serving is lovely but the girls need to up their game to help him more.A large mild curry ended up having small, the gravy was all over the outside of the tub the same with the small curry tub, not really ideal/My advice is EAT IN....

Absolutely amazing place! Was just passing through town and SO glad we had lunch here! The fish was amazing, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, not oily at all, dont think I've ever tasted fish this good! The seating area was lovely and clean and nice decor also. The person who served us who I assume was the owner was absolutely lovely too. Thank you for your fantastic service.
