“Fresh fish in crispy batter served with salty, hand-cut chips – a day out to Skegness just isn’t complete without a trip to the chippy.

Epton’s Fish and Chips
———————-

Like a hefty dollop of nostalgia with your haddock? Head to Epton’s, the oldest chippy in Skegness. Opened in 1894, back when High Street was known as “Chip Pan Alley”, Epton’s has been in the fish and chip game for well over 100 years, so they must be doing something right.

The View

The View might not be your classic seaside chippy, but the setting alone makes it worth a visit. Housed in an old lifeguard tower right on the beach, the outdoor veranda and floor-to-ceiling windows ensure sweeping views out over a quiet stretch of sand and the North Sea beyond.

Served with super thick, hand-cut wedges, the home-made fish and chips aren’t bad, either! Other seafood specialities include stuffed crabs and seafood pasta.
