As usual a superb pair of meals. It’s so easy to drop off the main road and take a pit stop. Fast & efficient service, the food was piping hot. Based on other Fish & Chip shops in Cumbria, eat in or take away, for the quality of food it is good value.

On my journey from Cheshire, England to Troon, Scotland, I planned a stop at The Original John’s Plaice in Carlisle, England. After doing a bit of research, it seemed like the perfect spot for lunch, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed! The shop is housed in a standalone, purpose-built building with a rich history of serving top-notch chippy classics. It boasts a decent-sized car park, though it was very busy and I ended up parking in the small car park of the adjacent petrol station.
The cod was a generous portion, fresh and encased in a light, crispy batter. The chips were plump and exactly what you’d expect from a quality fish and chip shop. The giant cheese fritter (or cheese savoury) caught my eye immediately due to its size, and it didn’t disappoint—wonderfully cheesy and flavourful, with that same delicate batter.
The salt and chilli chicken with salad was perfectly balanced—fresh, flavourful, and not overly spicy. The in-house steak pie was rich and hearty, wrapped in a thin, crusty pastry. To top it all off, the mushy peas were thick, sweet, and delicious.

The place is great, a bit retro but very charismatic. I tried 5 times Fish & Chips in Carlisle in 5 days and this was the best. Clean operation environment, nice service, nothing to complain about. Good parking options. We will come again.

A handy stop off for a quality chip shop…
This place is quirky but that’s why I like it, it really feels somewhat like an old American style diner – it could be because I somewhat remember it as a Little Chef but there’s just something that feels nostalgic about Johns Plaice.
As soon as we entered, we were greeted by smiling waitresses who showed us to a table and brought us menus promptly, the menus by the way are huge! There’s a wide range of food here, not just fish and chips!
I ordered a ham roll with chips and gravy, my partner ordered an egg mayo sandwich with chips and gravy, she got told there was no egg mayo left so she went for a tuna sandwich instead.
The food was all really tasty, big portion sizes too!
My ham roll was filled with thick, good quality ham and the bread was soft, my chips and gravy were good too – just very filling!
My partner enjoyed her food too and we both left with happy bellies after a good feed on our way home.
There’s ample parking here and they also offer takeaway which is great for if you just need a quick bite.

Fabulous as always. Not too long a wait for our delicious chicken goujons, chips and salad even though they were busy. Very popular and rightly so!

Driven past johns plaice many times, finally got to sit in for cod and chips and mushy peas. It was all lovely, can’t recall having a better fish and chips meal anywhere. Service is friendly, food comes up quick. I also had a thick chocolate milkshake. Better than McD’s
Price is ok, 20 quid each.

November 2021: I was passing by John’s on my way home at the right time so I decided to stop here for an easy dinner. Try the Seniors Special, great value for the smaller appetite.
