Walnut Fish Bar

Walnut Fish Bar in Millans Park occupies a sought-after spot in Ambleside, one of the Lake District's busiest tourist hubs, within reach of Rothay Park and the paths leading to the fells above the town. The kitchen serves fish and chips alongside battered haggis — a nod to the regional identity that appeals to visitors — and the outdoor seating allows customers to eat with a view of the surrounding mountains. The majority of reviews, however, flag pricing as a significant issue: portions of chips at over six pounds and fish and chip suppers approaching twenty pounds have generated consistent criticism. Food quality is described as variable, with chips reported as dry and fish as thin in a number of reviews. Ambleside commands tourist-area prices throughout, and Walnut Fish Bar is no exception. Worth knowing before visiting.
