Fosters Fish and Chips - Manchester

An absolute rip off double the price of all other local fish and chips shops and not even good food, over staffed which is probably the reason for the extortionate prices.

Price now extortionate and portions halved. I thought long and hard about writing this and feel really sad to write this review about a local business during tough times. We have always used Fosters but today have paid £25for a tray for 2(fish and chips and 2 sides for 2 people . The portions have halved since the last time we had this(8 weeks ago? . The peas and sides are half a portion (in smaller containers , the fish is more batter than fish, chips aren’t for 2 people. Due to the expense of this meal we used to share between at least 3 of us but tonight did not satisfy 2. Not sure what the answer is but it felt extortionate and prohibitive for the future. Just had a quick look at another local chippy and fish and chips x 2 and 2 sides nearly £6 cheaper. Can’t comment on size and quality but will try next time.

This place is good the popcorn chicken was nice, the fish was nicely cooked crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. Honestly the best fish and chips around. Recommend to all.

We have been customers for many many years and have always enjoyed the food and the service. Yes prices have risen steeply but you sometimes have to pay for quality. What customers do not pay for is disrespect and poor service. We arrived placed an order and the team member laughed at us. “Why the laughing “ “oh there is no fish. We have a large order to do so no one’s getting fish as the fryers are fully committed. Now I get on line ordering and it’s a god send to businesses and would not want to see it stop. However if you have a walk in business and cannot provide what your customers come in for it’s not great. There was no apology, no what else can I get you. Well off to the Dorchester on Bramhall Lane Hazel Grove we went. Fanatic fish and chips served with a smile…..and a thank you….best of all £5 cheaper than Fosters The Dorchester gained customers for the future.

We ordered a takeaway here on our way home from dropping our son at University. The woman who served us was unflaggingly polite, not just to us but to every customer. The food was perfect; piping-hot chips, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. My wife had mini fishcakes, and I had the steak pie. Really enjoyed every bite of this. I would recommend Fosters to anyone travelling this way.
