Steels Corner House

The best fish and chip shop. Hands down.
I prefer the battered sausage, chips, and gravy. It’s SO good. The portions are always huge as well. My family gets the fish and you can’t even fit it on the plate.
Definitely stop by this place. You won’t regret it!

Wow very impressed indeed. I ended up queuing to get in here after having two people recommend this place to me. We must have waited half an hour for a table but it was so with it and I knew it must be good with the queue it was attracting. My friend and I had crumbed fish with chips and mushy peas, which was served with bread and butter and a pot of tea. The servings are big and I was so full at the end of my meal. Many people were eating the large serving of fried fish and it was HUGE ! Never known a place like this one. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Thank you for a very lovely English meal. Yummy !!!

On my journey to Cleethorpes, this place was one of the stand out experiences.
I was told on good authority, the chap, that this was the place to go for good fish and chips so we ate here on the Saturday evening. Having spent the day taking in all the tourist activities, by 5pm we were really ready for a good solid nosh. And it’s a good job we queued when we did, as within about 10 minutes of our arrival, the queue was half way down the street — an accolade to how popular this place is.
The décor is cute, with lots of wooden panels, cute booths, and a sort of tea room feel to the upstairs dining area. It’s definitely busy, and popular, so if you’re a tourist get in quick lest you wait an hour for a table. I believe they do take away, but sitting in is a must unless it’s a spectacular day to sit by the sea.
The menu is straightforward — the main affair, obviously, is fish and chips. These come in different sizes, but let it be known that the medium is enough to feed a small army. There is a ‘smaller appetite menu’, if you’re afraid of the huge portions, and a pot of tea and bread and butter comes with the fish and chips. Lovely, properly British.
I’m not sure if my palate isn’t advanced enough to tell the difference between seaside fish and chips, and city fish and chips, but I wasn’t sure I could tell. That’s not to say it wasn’t utterly delicious. The gravy was exquisite, the batter was perfect, and the fish itself was never-​ending and scrumptious. And of course, the pot of tea was the perfect accompaniment, although you’re able to grab a lager if you can stomach beer alongside filling f&c. I hardly ever trust a cuppa outside my own house, but this was a solid pot.
The staff were lovely, hard working, and managed to stay welcoming and friendly in spite of the volume of customers! All in all, a must if you’re in town.

You want the best fish and chips in Grimsby/​Cleethorpes; go here!
The décor hasn’t changed since I frequented the place in my childhood. But, in turn, neither has the food. Still as good as ever. Go for the jumbo haddock and chips if you’re feeling hungry!

HA! It takes a trip across the Atlantic in order to get a first review in this day and age.
I was in England for a family visit. We stayed in Louth. It was cute and quiet but seriously lacking in decent fish and chips. I kept hearing murmurs that fish had to be from Grimsby in order to be good. Go to Grimsby. If it’s not from Grimsby, it’s not worth eating.
Ok. So where was Grimsby? And isn’t this in Cleethorpes, not Grimsby?
First day we were here, the day we landed in Humberside, we were whisked away to Cleethorpes for a proper tuck in of fish and chips. I was a little tired and cranky having just sat on an airplane for too long. But hungry.
At Steels, there are different sizes of fish to order. Small. Medium. And PIGGY. I had a medium. After all: medium what? It turns out, fish come in different sizes! Who knew? A small fish was a bit bigger than my hand. Still very decent in quantity and high in quality. Medium turned out to be much too big but I ordered it anyway. Twice. It was the length of my forearm and wide as the oval plate. The fish arrive atop a pile of delicious chips.
Oh Chips. Oh Chips. And then gravy. Oh gosh. I have a bad bad habit. The fish was nicely fried and even covered in a thin, light batter. The great thing about fried fish is that the batter is tasty when served fresh. And when you take the leftovers home, you can peel off the batter. But let me get back to the gravy. I didn’t develop this crush until the last week we were in England. Because gravy makes chips go down even easier. Typically, I can eat one-​third a serving of small chips. But serve the chips with gravy? I can suck down that puppy faster than the Kardashians can sell the rights to their anal bleaching.
Mushy peas were atomic green.
Buttered bread. Something so simple can steal my heart like a Welsh Terrier on a killing spree. And yes, I took all the leftovers home, from the entire table, including the buttered bread.
Service here was very very good. Cleethorpes is a seaside town, if you know what I mean. There are many competing fish and chips shops. But this is the one that you queue up for. This is the one where you queue up and wait and wait because it’s really quite impressive what they can do with a fry-​a-​lator.

Best fish restaurant in Cleethorpes that we’ve tried

Alot of people say that this restaurant does the best fish and chips in Grimsby but I have to disagree. The smaller, more traditional chip shops do much better chips than this place.
The location is good because it is right near the seafront and so alot of the tourists that come in the summer do like to go here. In fact, in the summer you can’t really get inside for a table, so you’d have to wait quite a while.
They do alot of other things on the menu, like home made pie’s, different type of fish like skate and halibut, and also a good selection of salads. The have a big cake cabinet that always looks very appealing!
The staff are always nice with alot of them having worked there for a long time. The restaurant has been open about 50 years and has alot of history all around the walls etc.
Nice family place, but overall there are better places for fish and chips.

Steels opened in 1947 and is best known for its fish and chips. I have never seen anyone able to each a large one. the fish is huge. Certainly the freshest and biggest fish and portions are huge. Chips, mushy peas, bead and butter and pots of tea. very seaside traditional.
It is in the market place just off the sea front. Two floors and yet sometimes, especially evening, there is a queue.
The staff are friendly and .can I say. middle ages.mumsy types. Very as waitresses used to be.
They do steaks and grills too and special menus for children. A good range of vegetarian too. around 4 choices. REAL home made deserts.
They boast they buy 6,500 tons of haddock a year and 100 tons of spuds. 42,00 eggs and 12, oo loaves of bread plus 20,000 sausages and 600 gallons of ice cream per year plus other stuff.
All portions are big and filling.
They also do full english breakfast and special offers.
This place has won awards. not bad for a seaside chip restaurant!
Its cheap! Well under £10 for a main and you will be stuffed and happy.
