Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers rave about the gluten-free options available, especially the gluten-free fish and gravy—true crowd pleasers. The fish is reported to be fresh and cooked to perfection, while the chips maintain that sought-after crispiness.
Many appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, contributing significantly to the overall dining experience. The Dolphin's casual vibe makes it a comfortable place for families, and there’s a dedicated kids' menu that keeps the little ones happy. Some patrons enjoy the nostalgic experience of getting their fish and chips wrapped, reminiscent of old-school chippies.
Most Disliked
A common critique is the busy atmosphere during peak hours, especially on Fridays around dinner time. Diners may encounter long queues, which, while a sign of good food, can be frustrating for those in a hurry.
Some reviewers express disappointment with the modern takeaway boxes instead of traditional newspaper wrapping for the fish and chips, missing that classic experience. Additionally, a few patrons mentioned that the oil used for frying could be better, as it impacts the flavor of the dishes.
Lastly, there may not be enough seating during peak times, particularly for larger groups, which can lead to missed opportunities for enjoying a sit-down meal.

Manchester is one of the worst places to find a decent chippy. Having said that, this place can’t be faulted, it’s a rarity and I’ll be going back and back again.
