Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Customers love the friendly service, often describing the staff as cheerful and welcoming. The food comes out hot and ready, with portions that are nothing short of generous. The gluten-free offerings are a big hit, allowing those with dietary restrictions to indulge in traditional favorites like fish and chips or homemade pies. The Neptune Meal, which includes the largest fish and unlimited refills for only £12, is particularly praised for its value. The cozy, casual atmosphere invites patrons to relax and enjoy their meals, making it a perfect stop for lunch or dinner.
Most Disliked
While Whittakers has thrived on positive reviews, some feedback highlights busier times. Peak dinner hours, particularly on Fridays, can overwhelm diners. Wait times for food can increase, leading to occasional longer waits. A few patrons have expressed a desire for more variety in the sides; beyond the standard chips and mushy peas. Directly addressing busy times helps potential visitors plan ahead to ensure a smoother experience. Nonetheless, these minor complaints do not overshadow the overall satisfaction of the vast majority of customers.

I always visit Whittakers when I am in Manchester for an event and have yet to be disappointed by the food or service. I always get the same meal (nuggets and chips) and as a person who is VERY fussy about her chips, I pretty much empty my plate every time. From my experience the staff are always very friendly and smiley. I am greeted as I arrive and told to have a lovely day as I leave. They give me time to look at the menu and then come over and happily take my order. I have never felt unhappy about my experience. Great food, lovely staff and a nice atmosphere. I recommend this place to all my friends when they go to Manchester.

I absolutely love that I can finally get gluten free chippy when I fancy it. And not just fish & chips. They have gluten free pies etc. The staff are always friendly and the service is spot on. I've even rang ahead when I was in a rush. I've never eaten in the cafe side, but I've seen a lot of customers use it. If you are ever fancy a chippy day, take a visit to Whittakers, you won't regret it 😉

A quaint and homely atmosphere suitably themed by the decor. Service is exceptional very quick. Portions are generous and food of the highest quality. The largest fish on the menu, chips, peas, two slices of bread and butter, coffee or tea with a free refill is £12 (AKA the Neptune Meal). Unbeatable.
