The Walnut Fish Bar
Ambleside · LA22 9AD
No reviews yet5★ FSA hygieneA no-frills traditional Ambleside chippy that divides opinion — fans praise huge portions and quality (and the battered haggis), while critics call it pricey and tourist-priced with hit-or-miss portion sizes; around 3.5/5 on Google and 3.3/5 on TripAdvisor.

“A no frills traditional chippy with a place to sit inside if needed. Priced for the tourist market but portions are good.”

🍽️ Portion
Divisive — generous for some, small-and-pricey for others
“I've seen some small portions but this takes the piss. 13.50 for fish and chips and the fish is smaller than a small portion from Kendal chippie.”
🍟 Chips
Tasty and well cooked
“The chips were very tasty and well cooked - definitely worth the money.”
🥣 Sides
Battered haggis and black pudding a standout
“The real stars were the battered haggis and battered black pudding...The battered haggis was so good that we returned a few days later for another one.”
😊 Service
Praised as brilliant by some
“Not sure what all these low-star reviews are about; portion size was huge, quality was excellent, service was brilliant.”
🎯 Consistency
Inconsistent — experiences range from huge/excellent to small/overpriced
“Food was nice but portion sizes were very small chips cheese and gravy looked like a quarter of a box but cost £7.50”
