The Dalston Fryer

Tucked into the heart of the village of Dalston, this long-standing chippy has built a loyal following among locals and passing travellers alike. It is the kind of friendly, no-fuss spot where the fish is cooked fresh to order and the portions are famously generous, so much so that regulars often warn newcomers that the medium fish is plenty for most appetites. Rated 4.6 out of 5 by Google reviewers, it is regularly named among the best fish and chip shops around.

The menu sticks to traditional seaside favourites done properly, from a golden, crisp-battered Cod and Chips to a hearty Steak Pie that draws steady praise. Alongside the classics you will find scampi, sausages and tidy kids' meals, making it an easy choice for families heading home after a day out around the village. Parking sits right outside, the service stays quick even when there is a queue, and the welcome is warm, all of which keeps people coming back to this dependable Dalston favourite.
