“ Wonderful traditional fish and chips. Cooked to order. Didnt pre order, but didn't wait for long. Staff friendly and chatty. ”
“ Best Fish and Chips we had so far. Owner was very helpful and friendly. Had fish and chips 2 days ago, wasn't half as good and way more expensive. ”
“ Best fish and chips ever. Fish moist and sweet, batter perfect. Plenty of alternatives and gluten free too. Fish cooked to order, so phoning order in is recommended by ”
“ Just had THE best fish and chips delivered. Fresh, hot and HUGE portions. Thanks Wellington Street Chippy...simply the best. ”
“ Oh my, fish and chips maybe the best I've ever had. The BBQ and cheese onion rings were amazing also! Everything is cooked fresh and this makes it even better. ”
“ Excellent food, super friendly! Despite it being super busy and everything being fried fresh to order, the fantastic efficiency meant there was only a very short wait. Also great value for money, 4x small fish meals, a curry sauce and mushy peas all for 22.50!! ”
“ Gluten-free batter! But that’s just the start of it. Don’t be fooled by the unassuming appearance and size of the place - this is a brilliant little chippy with a huge menu (Stilton sauce!) Plus the owner and staff are great - they were working their way through an order for 15 when we got there, and were still very quick. Wish we lived nearer... ”
“ Out of all the chippys we have been to, I can honestly say that this is the best by far, the batter is just the best ever and really fluffy, yummy, and the fish is lovely and white and very fresh, the chips are proper old school homemade to perfection. Very friendly service, a little wait at times but that’s because everything is cooked fresh in front of you, and popular because it is so good and good value for your money. Not greasy at all, this is a proper fish and chip shop 100% recommend. We now go about once every week or other week. Keep that batter the same don’t ever change it. ”
