Ordering Strategy

Opt for classic battered mainstays or the highly rated grilled fresh fish like halibut, sea bass, and sole. Dine in to take advantage of the famously generous unlimited chip refills.

What to order

Safe first

Battered Cod and Chips

Considered a 'very reliable' staple of this 'venerable chipper,' the cod is praised for being 'carefully cooked' with a thin, non-soggy batter that has a 'pleasing crunch.'

Hungry

Grilled Halibut

While the restaurant is known for its 'super-generous portions' of fried favorites, the 'fresh grilled fish is always superb, particularly the halibut,' according to frequent diners.

Wildcard

Berry Crumble with Hot Custard

An outstandingly comforting traditional dessert that reviewers highlight as one of the best they've had in years.

What to skip

Skip
Pies and BurgersCritics point out it 'makes little sense' to order non-seafood items like the chicken burger or bangers and mash at a specialist chippy with over ten varieties of fresh fish delivered daily.
