Tates Fish & Chip Restaurant

I was so pleased with the service and the fresh lightly battered cod and crinkle cut chips I ordered as well as the baked potato and chilli my husband had; so quite surprised by a few really bad reviews. Sam, our host, went out of his way to make us relaxed and happy on this hot summer day as we decided to sit outside not realising that there were two floors upstairs. I hope my review and the good experience we had counteracts the few bad ones I read afterwards.

Visited Tates for the first time in years and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Offered us to sit in despite being close to closing time. The premises is very clean and well kept.
As a family of 6 we all had different meal options and all were beautifully cooked and thoroughly enjoyable. We all were very happy. Portion sizes were very generous, unfortunately we struggled to finish it all 😭.
Highly recommend. Best fish and chips 🥳

Only went in with for a portion of chips, good crinkle cut chips not a black chip in site.
Great service very friendly, would highly recommend. A*

Had a lovely mini fish and chips, thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and the £6 price was a bargain.
Added bonus that you can sit inside or outside.

Heard about this place for a long time best fish and chips with homemade mushy peas. Fish is fresh and batter is light and crunchy.
Went there in Saturday afternoon waiting time is less than 5 mins. Amazing!

I accidentally found this place on way home from skeggy. Owner is so friendly and his food is amazing.. the oil he uses make this chips taste so nice and the fish was really fresh also the large sausage was perfectly well cooked. I'm coming back again

I was visiting Boston for the weekend with my family (4 adults and 3 kids) and we wanted to have a nice Sunday lunch before we left. We came across Tates just off the main square. When we arrived there were 6 diners already there but was plenty of seating and we sat down and got comfortable. Even though there was only one staff member cooking and serving, he came over in a few minutes to take our order. The menu has a good range of fish, vegetarian, chicken and gluten free options. We had the large cod, scampi and cod bites all with chips. Everyone finished their food, even the fussiest eaters. The portions were generous. The prices were very reasonable. Overall we had a lovely experience and would go back again.
Before I visited I looked at google reviews and they ranged from 5 stars to 1 star so I was a little apprehensive. Fish and chips is best eaten fresh and hot, so I assume the low rated reviews are for ones where they had them delivered home.

Best fish and chips. The lady that works there was really helpful and friendly

Nipped into here for some chips, the food was great. The customer care was fantastic. One thing I did notice is that one of the workers there gave my son (18months) a fruit shoot and he removed the plastic cap on the top before giving it to him, this was really good to see as some places don't do that. I can't praise them enough on how helpful they are there. Definitely worth a visit and we shall be returning again.

Always loved fish and chips from Tate's, especially when Sam is at the fryer.
Lovely piece of fish, nicely done chips, and all wrapped carefully by Sam.

Their fish and chips were hot and delicious

The best in boston very friendly and lovely food

Brilliant gluten free haddock and chips with curry sauce yummy quick and personal service ! Well recommended

Good value, exactly what you want it to be.

Visiting Boston . Just found this place on the off chance. It was just before shutting time despite this the owner couldn't be more nicer even allowed us to sit in and eat without putting pressure on us to eat quickly. We ordered scamp supper.. burger supper and baked potato with fish. All the food was fantastic my daughter said one of best baked potato she's had. Scampi was awesome chips nice and crisp and burger was massive. Thanks to the owner as it was a miserable night. Well recommended.

Never been to Boston before and just fancied fish and chips . Just found this place on the off chance. We ordered 4 fish and chip . Well what more can l say apart from all of us said that's the best fish and chips we've all hard in years . And trust me we have fish and chips every Friday and keep trying new place all the time . These are number for us at the moment. Thank to the owners to made us feel welcome too .

The place is always clean. The staff are friendly and helpful, but most importantly the food is excellent. The fish is always fresh, it is moist and tasty, and the batter is crisp and golden brown. The chips are a great flavour, well done and never 'greasy' like some other places. If you are going to treat yourself to fish & chips, this is the best place to come, to eat in or like us to take home to enjoy. In my opinion, this is where you will find the best fish & chips in Boston.

Can't beat it been visiting here since the 60s

Best fish and chips I've had in years its not cheap but think of his over heads when inflation is running at 10% get in their eat up enjoy and support this gem before its gone........p.s never seen cod so white
