The Jolly Friar

Had lovely food again from here absolutely amazing food and amazing staff too hubby loves the mini fish and chips and I had battered sausage with peas for a change but all the food is amazing well done ladies once again and thanks for the batter always a pleasure

I work with the NHS and our team visit alford to do vaccinations. I'd highly recommend this chip shop. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the fish is extremely fresh and the portion size is very generous. Thoroughly recommend The Jolly Friar. *****

First time bought fish and chips from The Jolly Friar. Read some good reviews. So glad we bought our supper. Fish was tasty and chips cooked just right. Really scrumpy.

Just moved to the area and this was the first fish and chip shop tried. No need to try any others, this will be our go to chippee. Fish perfectly cooked with crisp batter, no soggy bits, totally delicious all round.

I always stop here on the way home from visiting the coast. Excellent food. The fish is fresh and tasty and the batter crunchy. Chips are excellent too.

We had a very long wait as everything is cooked fresh to order but you'd think with it being Friday evening they'd have some food ready to go. Especially given how it's always busy on a Friday. That being said the fish and chips were delicious but the wait was too long.

Updated again

Great fish tasted amazing

So we revisited and this time was so much better and the curry sauce is beautiful

Staff gentleman on frier we had a great chat friendly and knowledgeable esp about local area

Lady serving on till again was polite and kind

(previous review-Worse I've had so far
Been charged £5.20 chip and cheese cold chip that didn't even melt the cheese) I think it was just an off day which at some point in time we all have

What a fabulous place for fish and chips! We're on holiday in Lincolnshire from London, & drove 14 miles to our favourite fish and chip shop.
Perfectly cooked cod & haddock. Excellent chips, & superb portion size.
Customer service is also excellent! You can tell we are fans! This is our favourite place for fish & chips. Excellent value for money. Try it- worth driving to from London!

Love it here. Love that it's always so busy which is a really good sign. The food is delicious and the team are really friendly. They're always happy to see you and have a little chat. While you wait 5 minutes or so for fresh fish to order. Well worth it! 😁😁

Fabulous chip shop, popped in after a day at the beach and they were still open. Cooked all our order fresh as it was nearly closing time. Good sized portions, the fish was tasty, golden and a perfect size to fill you right up. Pineapple fritter was a good size too.
Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Reasonably priced, 4 of us ate with drinks for £20.
Car park right next door is handy too.

Passing through on a Friday evening en route to the coast. We phoned ahead as it was fast approaching closing time. Our food was almost ready as we arrived. Service was very efficient and the proprietors very friendly. One of our group said "it was the best fish I've had in ages". We'll certainly be returning when next in need of a good fish and chip supper.

Best fish and chips we've had in years! Lovely friendly staff. Brilliant service. We live in Devon, and I'd travel back to Alford for their Haddock & Chips! PERFECT!

Best chip shop ever been to , cooked to perfection and extremely friendly helpful staff ,

Customer service was like no other, they go above and beyond for everybody! Always a pleasant experience and staff are down to earth and can have a laugh with each of them! Food is always delicious! Best chip shop around, Alford is lucky to have them situated in the town!

Best fish I’ve had in a very long time. Nice and crispy. Really enjoyed the food and the team are polite and have great attitudes making it a pleasant visit to the chippy for my first time and I will definitely be going again. Thanks guys. 👌

It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area

Easily the best fish and chip shop in lincs! Consistently good, fresh food with such friendly, welcoming service! Will always come back to this chippy and can’t recommend it enough!

Great staff very welcoming and well the fish and chips are gorgeous and just the amount u can eat. Haddock is a good size and very very nice and the batter is just right. Keep up the good work and see you soon as usual lol.

Wonderful new potatoes cooked fresh, on 19 July at 10 past 8. They close at 8-30. Two lovely ladies behind the counter. Laughed and joked with us and couldn't do enough to help. Very pleasant. Good price too. Shame we won't be going there again as live 75 miles away and they would be cold by the time we go home.🤗 If out that way in Alfred again we would make an effort to call in again. Thank you, ladies.

Excellent fish ( cod) n chips. Very hot cooked while I waited. Happy friendly staff and easy nearby parking Highly reccomended. There was a 1940s weekend on in the town and the jolly frier had SPAM fritters on the menu. Food of the gods, even though i used to refer to them at school in the 1960s as " Dogs tongues in batter ". Beautiful!
