Family-run Papa’s has been serving one of the nation’s favourite dishes for close to 60 years. Their Cleethorpes restaurant is where award-winning comfort food meets stunning coastal views of the Central Promenade and Pier.
Papa’s dedication to serving this legendary dish earned them the prestigious title of “Britain’s Best Fish & Chips” in 2017 after a memorable BBC search, judged by the public and Michelin Star chefs.

You can enjoy the delights of the freshly cooked menu either in the restaurant or take away to eat by the Pier.
At Papa’s there is a dish for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten free options! Savour classic fish or succulent sausage and chips, enjoy tasty gourmet burgers, indulge in the flavours of battered halloumi or sizzling salmon, or the range of baked-to-order pies.
Every bite is a testament to the high-quality ingredients sourced from local suppliers and prepared with love for generations who have also cherished Mr Papa’s original, secret recipe of thin, crispy and light batter.
The experience doesn’t stop there! Elevate your seaside outing with one of Papa’s delightful desserts. Indulge in a warm apple crumble and custard and savour the sweetness of seaside treats such as battered mars bars and donuts.
There’s also a tempting selection of cocktails to enjoy as you feast on Papa’s fresh and delicious food.
And to prove Papa’s chips are really “out of this world” they launched the nation’s favourite dish into space in 2018!
So, head to Papa’s in Cleethorpes, where every meal is a celebration of family, flavour and the allure of the seaside. And Cleethorpes isn’t Papa’s only Lincolnshire location as you can also enjoy their famous fish and chips in Skegness.
