Harry Ramsden's Omdömen 178

Drove to Bournemouth from London for a day out and to enjoy "World Famous" fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens. Once seated, we looked at the menu. 2x cod and chips and Prawns starter to share. I noticed that they had a pork sausage on the starter menu. I asked the waitress if the pork sausage was fried in the same oil as the fish. She went to the kitchen to confirm. She returned saying that it was. I was horrified. I am muslim, and can always eat elsewhere. But what about the Pescetarians? Surely separating meat from fish is a simple thing to do even for a company as big as Harry Ramsdens. Cross contamination is not acceptable in what I considered a Fish restaurant. Halal only applies to Red meat and chicken etc. Seafood automatically qualifies as Halal. When my non muslim companion returned from the Ladies room, I explained this to her and we left. She was disappointed as I had promised her "World Famous"

No peas in tins of mushy peas!!
I bought half a dozen tins of Harry Ramsdens Mushy Peas, opened the first two cans and found there were no peas in the cans - just green juice!!!!!! Will be buying Bachelors in future

First and last time I will buy their frozen Steak Pie. Hardly any steak and what was there had lots of grissel. No gravy so very dry. Ended up in bin!

LIAM one of the managers at Eastbourne branch, was very helpful. Polite. and friendly. We had problem with our voucher and he sorted it all out for us. The afternoon tea was absolutely great, plenty to eat and tasted lovely.

Harry Ramsden Blackpool. Were taken to our seats and although not very busy no one came to take our order. Waited another 5 mins and left. Amazing,none of the staff seemed to care.

Harry Ramsden's steak pies used to be good but now seem to have gone downhill with tougher meat and less flavour than before. I would question whether it's really steak or a cheaper cut of beef. Disappointed and will not buy again.

What went wrong is the first thing to appear on this comment sheet.

The first thing that went wrong was walking over the threshold. I have never been so utterly disappointed with an eating establishment in my life.

No contact with any staff whatsoever.. using tech to order.... non English speaking ridiculous price for a micro portion .... I could go on and on but what is the point

Just avoid like bubonic plague ... disgraceful

Visited yesterday, food was lovely and staff were very friendly and quick with service

£4 for steak pie from Iceland,4 pieces of steak not one edible do not buy as you will still be hungry 😠

45 mins to get my drink and then food portion was like a kids plateful

Went to the Harry Ramsden's in Cheshire Oats. I went at lunchtime and had an amazing experience. The food was excellent and the member of staff, Kieran made the experience more amazing.

Overall, I recommend this place to anyone. This place has amazing and well-made food and polite and professional stuff.

Every time we come to Cheshire Oaks from Manchester (we come a lot) we always eat at Harry Ramsden’s. Gill is like a breath of fresh air, attentive, caring, considerate she really makes us feel like family. Kie and Ash are both as wonderful. I will never eat anywhere else in Cheshire Oaks… (unless this place is closed!)

Gill and co we will be back soon. Miss you all.

Harry Ramsdens famous for Fish and chips oh no this place is an overpriced RIP OFF PRICES and all WENTWORTH TUCKER as I was expecting 😢 to see Joan Ferguson in there so if you want to meet the freak you can get down there! When I buy a meal and I'm paying a lot for it I expect quality this is Wentworth Tucker it's 💩 as if you take Daniels Fish and chips they have been in Yarmouth since the fifties they are delicious and lovely will say this place is a disgrace as staff are miserable and rude I expect better than this garbage 🗑 service so just don't go here avoid it and go to Daniels instead you will be glad you did as you will save money and get a better meal and not Wentworth Tucker like here so remember keep away from this place!

Was in Bournemouth & my colleagues advised me to visit Harry Ramsden's for Fish & Chips & a stroll a walk along the Beach & Pier ... sounds idyllic ...

Yea, On enquiring ... NO GLUTEN FREE !!!
WHAT? come on Harry ! Even Weatherspoon's does Gluten Free, AND the Chippy on my Local Council Estate has all their chips Gluten free & even does Gluten free batter.
Harry Ramden's you are completely RUBBISH ! (imho)

Bought some harry ramsdam fish fingers found to have a lot of bones in them . Glad didn’t give to children . Very disappointed. Will not be buying any of their products again.

What’s happened to the famous Harry Ramsden quality. Took my wife out for a lunch time treat! We were served with meager portions of greasy battered haddock, semi peeled unattractive chips and a small pot of mushy peas. At Cheshire Oaks restaurant.

Blackpool HR, ordered Fish and Chips and pot of tea. The fish was honestly the smallest portion I had ever seen. Nothing like their advertised picture. Pot of tea? It came in a paper cup. Tables dirty. Real shame as Harry Ramsdens used to be the place to go…now the place to avoid.

Purchased HR frozen fish and chips. Tasteless fish, would never buy again. Chips wern't much better.

Blackpool Harry Ramsden’s at 6.15 pm Sunday. Pleasant and apologetic female staff turning numerous people away at the manager’s request. Warned it could take 25 mins for a table plus 45 mins for food. We decided to wait. That said the restaurant had a number of empty tables and it really did take an age for them to take our order. Drinks could have been brought earlier whilst we were waiting. Food when it came was hot and in the main tasty but the fish was a little overdone tending to be on the dry side. Need more attentive staff who are more willing to work and receive direct guidance by management.

Just don't bother... slow service... long queues, in a town devoid of many restaurants, it is a virtual monopoly.
