Whelans in Fylde

I'm a visitor from thousands of miles, came a few years ago and was most impressed. So I decided to come back. Sadly this time the taste and quality have diminished substantially. And I do understand that the price of fish has increased drastically, like everything else.

The food at this place is gorgeous!Unfortunately the fryer is ignorant and it ruined the experience for us.When the fryer (bald man) asked for our fish order, we were told there was no extra large haddock so we ordered 2 regular. When I asked a minute later to increase one to a large, he looked at me and didn’t even acknowledge, so I was unsure what we would receive.We did get a large one and a regular but he was rude.We would definitely go back as the food was cooked to perfection and the others were nice. However, he needs some serious lessons in customer service.

Ordered Medium fish and chips just under £8, the portion size was just ok. The chips were scrappy and the fish batter was a sloppy mess and really greasy. My fish was placed on top of my chips so they ended up covered in grease from the fish. Staff were pleasant but this is the first and last order from Whelan's Fish & Chips.

Fish and Chips were nice. Bit dark in the dinning room not a great eating out experience to be honest. All seemed to have pretty glum atmosphere in the place.

This is the 2nd time I've had f&c from Whelans, last time OK, this time I went for regular fish, and regular mean just like any other chippys size of fish, just regular!! Blimey this was like a scallop, terrible!! If I hadn't driven to the prom front to eat them I would have took it back to show the whole shop what they are getting as regular. Come on Whelans buck up a bit.

Adequate, but no longer excellent. Main issue is that portions have become very small: large haddock is no bigger than a small one elsewhere, and extra large chips is nothing like.

A renowned fish & chip takeaway and restaurant. We ate in, brisk polite service, great fish and chip dinner with brwad and butter and tea, top job. None of us had any of the pies but another friend highly recommends the cheese and onion pie. Nothing fancy just a clean tidy well staffed fish and chip restaurant.

What do you do to treat yourself for being brave after having your flu jab? You drive to Lytham Saint Annes for a stroll along the front and fish and chips at Whelan's of course. This is a great place (pardon the pun). Been here many times over the years. Lovely fresh cooked food and friendly welcoming staff. See you there soon.

Here’s a picture of the poor quality food. Scampi is burnt. Battered sausage is frankly mental. My partner also had a “big puby-type” hair in his fish and chips. Go to literally any other chippie in Lytham.

Over priced for what it is, order extra large fish meal large fish meal, fish bite meal and home made pie. The extra large fish is just an average size and for £9 it's not worth it. Chips where not the best, many thin scraps and served in the cheapest tray and not a box for this price.Oh don't get the pie, as you can see in the picture, it's dry old and microwaved, that small slice cost £2.80 lol. Just realised that there was a pie shop next door. Doh!! 👀I would next time get a tesco meal deal and eat at the café Nero with a large awesome coffee and cake for cheaper and better quality. Don't waste Yr money, for a company established is the 1930s wow they have gone down hill.
