Moby Dicks

I quite like Moby Dicks, yes I agree that it’s not the best chip shop in the world; or even Louth for that matter, but its prices are seriously cheap and it’s opening hours batter (excuse the pun) the other two town centre contenders. I have never had a problem with the service here, they have always been relatively friendly and helpful and prompt. The chips aren’t the best I’ve had but generally speaking I go in here for a quick chip butty while I’m having a wander around town on a saturday daytime. I’m not expecting huate cuisine for the prices they ask and I don’t get it. I haven’t used the café at the back for a couple of years so I think it wouldn’t be fair for me to rate it — although previous experience is that it was quick and cheap.

I’ve never really rated this as a Fish and Chip shop and would always pick Mr Chips over this one or Parkinson any day. However its on the main street and open pretty late so I can understand why it does get used. My experiences of here have been poor service, shortage of food at later times and greasy chips/​fish. I’ve had friends who have worked there too and they don’t really rate it either. I would say the only thing in its favour, is probably the chip butties.

Not a huge fan of this fish and chip shop. They do very cheap kids’ offers such as 50p chip butties and £1 portions of chips with fishfingers, but the chips are a bit greasy and the staff aren’t helpful at all. Personally I’d pop along the road to Parkinsons or drive up to Bracken Fish Shop (which is the best in Louth, in my opinion!). Moby Dick’s has a café at the back, but I haven’t been in there since approximately 1999 so I’m unable to offer a comment on it! I will say that Moby Dick’s is in a good location and they do offer prompt service; it’s not a bad chip shop, it’s just that there are better ones.
