Skylark Fish Chip Shop - Bolton

I tried the sweet and sour pork Cantonese style and fried rice at this restaurant, along with the spareribs. Everything was authentic, tasty, and delicious. The food was piping hot when it arrived, and they even gave me a bag of complimentary prawn crackers. The service was friendly and prompt. I will definitely return when I am in the area.

This is my local chippy but I'd never been before. My favourite dish is egg foo yung and they do it fantastically. I ordered king prawn foo yung which was very authentic! Alongside my foo yung I got some gravy and chips and they were very nice and fresh out of the frier. Not only that the service was very professional and polite the lady who served me was very friendly

So i love a good chinese and this place delivers! The sweet and sour is a nice balance and the chicken is always cooked properly, never tough or chewy. The special fried rice was good and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly and welcoming and its always clean.

Having previously had great chips from there, I am extremely disappointed to say that its gone down hill. The last two times the chips were definitely refried and not fresh. The lady was frying them on today's visit so I thought the previous time might have been a one off but that was not the case. They came out burnt and greasy so she must have been refrying them. I wanted to write the review so they can have the feedback and stop refrying old food. It's disgusting and not fair on your customers. Most of the chips were inedible as seen in the picture.

This sadly is my local chippy. I will start by saying I’ve never tried their Chinese food so I can’t comment on that. Th last time we tried it was maybe 18 months ago and we ordered fish and chips. The fish looked like a frozen fish fillet in batter (think birds eye) and had obviously been fried and then kept warm so the batter was solid and inedible. I am always willing to give somewhere a couple of chances and now I have but never again
