Tate's Fish 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.

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.

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 🥳

Service was very friendly and efficient. I had fish and chips that were £6 with a drink thrown in. Obviously a smaller portion, but sometimes with fish and chips that’s not a bad thing. Chips could have been a little hotter, but in all very good. There is a desert menu too, but I didn’t have room for that.
