After years of hard work and dedication, Paul and Elizabeth established an unrivalled reputation throughout Widnes and Runcorn. Following the on-going success of their traditional fish & chips, they sought to expand the menu to cater for the changing tastes and demands of their valued customers.

In 1987, Paul enhanced his menu to incorporate authentic chinese meals and recruited reputable chinese chefs from Liverpool’s China Town. This proved to be a roaring success and we have never looked back.

2019 has brought Paul’s Fish Bar a new look and feel. We’ve invested money into refreshing our logo, menus, brand and website. We’re keen to keep up with expectations in the evolving fast food market but still remain an integral part of our community, which has always been our goal.

Paul’s gets a Makeover

Always improving

At Paul’s, we are constantly making improvements – adding new and exciting dishes to the menu – whilst maintaining our attention to quality and customer satisfaction. In spite of the spiralling costs of fresh produce over the years and the increase in competition in the area, we have never lost our focus – to buy the best quality, fresh ingredients daily, in order to produce the high standard of food that our customers have come to expect from us.
