Perfect Fish & Chips in Cleethorpes, North Lincolnshire, England

Pure white Lilies symbolize 

 virtue and convey pride 

and prosperity. 

I bought a lily plant 2 days ago

 for Paul's Today Birthday.

Steels corner house restaurant

This place is fantastic for traditional fish and chips.

The corner house with a worldwide reputation. The north east's finest family fish restaurant.'' I have been to this restaurant many times, at least once a week, and I can never fault it. The haddock and chips are the best I've ever tasted, the batter was tasty, crispy and not too greasy and the portions are very generous! I usually opt for a medium haddock. However, forget being famous for their fish and chips, they should be famous for their steak pie! If you are looking for something other than fish you have to try it. It's full of meat and the gravy is delicious, Also, the staff are always pleasant and helpful. 

The restaurant offers excellent value for money with bread and tea included in the price of your meal. An amazing restaurant, always packed so you may end up queuing in the street! But the service is excellent and seating comfortable. Has to be the ultimate "chippy". Highly recommended!
