Served with golden fries using locally grown potatoes, this classic British meal represents our commitment to quality. Each portion includes expertly prepared fish, skin and bone removed, ensuring a hassle-free dining experience.

These options use dedicated fryers to maintain dietary integrity. Our vegan menu demonstrates culinary creativity while maintaining the authentic taste and texture expected from a quality fish and chip shop.

I went into this fish and chip shop today it does say a restaurant, so me and the wife and 2 kids went in , I said is the restaurant upstairs , they said yes but you have to order down here and carry them… upstairs , if it’s a restaurant you expect to go and sit down and the waitress takes your order but no we had to order and carry all the food up 3 flights of stairs !! You can not class this as a restaurant ! ! Also we had to wait ages for our order they serve others coming in if your looking for a take away then this is ok but not a restaurant as it’s states !

First time in many years that this shop has given me poor food. Food cooked in dirty fat that should have been changed ages ago. Only given 2 stars as the lady who served me was polite, the other was not.

Bought a cheeseburger for around 6. Part of the beef was red, and the cheese was just grated cheddar. Overall a very bland flavour. Probably better to stick to the fish and chips, but a fish and chip shop should should still do a decent burger.

Genuinely cannot rate this place high enough, the chips were seriously amazing, we had cheesy chips and it was a lovely mature cheddar on top. The mushy peas were delicious as well, seriously some of the best chips about!

Mr. Chippy, thank you for being the only place in town offering a vegan option! It was delish. A bit heavy and probably will use as an option on special junk days, but amazing still.
