Andreas Fish and Chip Shop in South Ribble

Andreas has been since Ive been alive (1985!) and I am yet to find a better chippy. We don't live local anymore so only visit on special occasions when visiting family. The chips, fish and steak pudding (my usual) is unbeatable. Add to that the level of service provided by Andreas, family and staff and there is nowhere better. It is no wonder he is a pillar of the community and has so many regulars. Only problem sometimes is it is too busy especially on a Friday teatime - but the chips are worth the wait!

manager is very very rude, i arrived and he was shouting at his staff members for breaking 1 chip in half with the scooper she was very apologetic and he still continued to shout at here when i asked him to shop raising his voice at her he told me i was banned and to never come back !

Best fish and chips for miles. Has never let me down. Always feel like I am being treated like a valued customer

I live over 40 miles away from Andreas Fish and Chips, and heard about it by word of mouth. That's how good it is. I've been several times over the years and will keep coming back; Andreas and the staff are always super-friendly and happy to stop and chat if you'd like to. The shop is incredibly clean and has a spacious queuing area. They even have outdoor seating for nice days. Unlike a lot of modern fish & chip shops, they don't bring in poor quality frozen fish, or pre-cut chips. Everything is sourced fresh and prepared on site. The quality speaks for itself. I'm a big fan of their fish - I won't eat fish in many places because it's often overcooked and rubbery, but I have no hesitation here as it's always fresh and cooked well. Chips are lovely and portion sizes are good. If you're not a fan of fish I can can also recommend their chicken kebab meals, all made authentic herbs and spices. Simply the best fish and chip shop I've been to anywhere. Penwortham is very lucky!

Always have great service and a friendly welcome at Andreas's chippy, fish great as always as are the chips and quantity, great value fir money. Would always recommend.

Oily chips. Very poor quality and over priced. I will never visit this so called fish and chip shop again. I think some training is required on how to cook chips.

Friday 7pm visit. Busy. Fish and chips twice, sausage and chips and chips. Portions were decent size. Disappointed with fish and chips though. Paper was stuck to fish and pulled off the batter. Few bones in one fish. Chips varied sizes so had a few undercooked. Food was generally warm rather than hot, despite being busy with turnover of food. I'd go again but would happy try others first.

Fish and chips at its best What can you say to freshly cooked cod chips and mushy peas. It's always a pleasure to go back to Lancashire and this is the best I have been to in a long time friendly staff clean and some of the best fish and chips I have ever tasted if I could give this place 20 out of 10 I would. If your ever in the area please please please try it you won't be disappointed well done to everyone

Visiting Andreas Chippy in Penwortham can usually be enjoyed as a piece of personal theatre. Andreas is a character and loves to talk and entertain his audience. He is certainly the front man of the business, but he has a number of sons who also work there. The offerings are more varied than your usual chip shop, he does Donner and Chicken Kebabs, Stuffed Pitta, then of course your favourites, Fish and Chips, Pies, Puddings, Sausage etc. Though I don’t live in the area any more, whenever I find myself in the vicinity I try and pay a visit, hoping to find Andreas’s smiling face behind the counter.

Great Chippy, that’s all I can say! Andreas always happy to chat to a regular customer (like myself) or a new customer! Fish and chips always top notch and always the usual consistent top quality again and again. Curry sauce lovely and thick, not watery and bland like some chip shops seem to serve. Good value for money and perfect for stopping off for food after a few in the various pubs and bars on Liverpool Rd. Andreas, keep up the good work. Your reputation precedes you!

Used to love this chippy and went regularly as they had the best chips but last 2 visits the chips are different and not up to scratch. Good service and nice fish but they need to get back to the chips they used to do.

The chips here are excellent. We have visited here for many years but not as often as we would like. Each time the chips have been excellent quality. They are also very reasonably priced. 10/10 service.

The kebabs are to die for, the fish are superb as is his home made plate steak pie. Eat from here at least once a week and have never been disappointed.

Best fish and chips in the area! Fish are amazing, crispy batter and good size flaky fish fillet. Chips are always spot on! Highly recommend.

Asked for a haddock and the friendly guy behind the fryer put one on for me. I prefer haddock too so thank you. I biked 3 miles home with the haddock and large chips strapped to my back and it was still hot when I got home. Will definitely be back.

Andreas has been part of the fabric of Penwortham for years and years... The quality of the food is consistently of a high quality and his customer service second to none,would highly recommend....

Now that you can’t see what they are serving you they really ought to pay some attention to what you order. Really simple. Two chicken kebabs. One hot chilli and one mild. We got two donner meat Kebabs. Both with hot chilli sauce. Awful. Total waste of money.

Absolutely the best fish and chips I've had in a very, very long time. Thank you. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely great fish and chips and the chicken kebab was just the ticket too. First visit tonight but will be back again.

Been here many times,always good, last 2 times in July 2020, the chips had obviously been cooked then warmed up,and same with the fish. Threw it all away, too expensive to keep doing this so i won't be going again.

first time trying this place. lovely fish and chips, fish tasted very fresh (not frozen) chips tasty as well. we asked for a gravy sauce in which we got for free! will be definitely coming back.

Inconsistent portion size and quality .,when good very good but nit always. Chicken Slovaki . Mmm I am Greek and this was not up to standard and took ages to prepare , which of was good would be worth the 40 minute waits plus expensive . Come on Andreas have a rethink

Brilliant fish & chips, doner kebabs, pies & gravey. Greek Cypriot owned, now serving Greek food which is very tasty & worth the wait. Must also recommend the home made pie & occasionally cakes.

Been coming here for as long as I can remember, the only chippy I will go to in the area, excellent food and service from all! Can’t go wrong!

I'm probably one of the best qualified to give an opinion on Andreas, we ordered 50plus potions of fish and chips etc, you would do that, if they weren't the business.

Called in recently for fish and chips for my dad, as always had a friendly welcome and fish cooked to order. Quality was as good as ever and even had a sample of the home made carrot cake for my wife. The cake she says was great!Always get a warm welcome and food cooked well.

So I was ordering a cheese burger and they suggested I try their home made burgers and that if i wasnt happy with it I could get my money back. I wont be asking for my money back it was fantastic ill be ordering another!

Passed by on endless journeys, my friend and I decided to stop and check it out.... Boy was it worth it! We avoided a smelly car and ate inside. Like a good seaside chip shop but without the sand and crowds of beach goers! The fish was excellent and the whole experience positive. Lots of comings and goings from those living locally, it is obviously a popular choice. We we stop again? You betcha!

Best chippy in Preston that has won many local awards. Chips & fish always delicious plus the ocational home made pies are a big draw.

Called recently for haddock and chips, very very busy as expected. Fish was cooked to perfection with nice crispy batter and chips were freshly cooked. Quality as always was very good, would always recommend.

Staff very friendly. Place very clean. Food fantastic. Would recommend for sure. Popped in last night and was blown away by the service and standard of food. Amazing place. Will be back without doubt!

The food is inconsistent - the fish can sometimes be great and sometime be a mound of soggy batter. The chips can again be good but can also be grainy and funny tasting. Their chicken kebabs used to be fantastic but stale bread, sad-looking salad and gristly meat have meant they're a no-go these days.

We have fish and chips once a week and they are always of a consistent quality. Lovely Fresh fish and the best chips.

Large portions, lovely fish and curry sauce. Nice & friendly staff. Short waiting times. Highly recommend.

The staff are not very helpful. I wanted a small portion of fish and chips for my grandson. Was told only adult portions available. No cones nothing! Ridiculous.

Excellent food good range of menu and spotless lovely family run business worth that extra bit of travel

Heading back to Southport after an evening in Blackpool, my family stopped for a takeaway and came across Andreas Fish and Chip Shop. We saw all the awards on their wall and felt assured we were in for a treat! We were not disappointed, freshly cooked to order, the food was superb! I recommend you try it for yourselves! Enjoy!

Ordered fish chips peas and a fish on a barm cake. Got one fish, pathetically small chips that where soggy and stuck to the paper. Inedible rubbery fish and can't return to them immediately and they won't answer the phone so I can inform them I'll be commin a little later for a refund. Disgusting, over priced and careless

I have already reviewed this beautiful chippy months ago, however is in need of another since the new upgrade.

Andreas offer the best fish and chips around! We have never had a bad friday night supper our of this place!

this chippy is probably the best chippy this side of Longton and certainly nothing in Preston can match it ( Although i haven't tried the one adjacent to Specsavers in the town centre)

When visiting my dad I don't always get time to cook something for tea. Nevermind Andreas is 5 minutes drive away. Generally fish, chips and peas is the order of the day and have always been as good as anything. Service is always quick and the staff are very pleasant. Went in yesterday and had to wait a few minutes for the fish to be cooked and the staff were very apologetic but no need to be waiting 2 or 3 minutes for a freshly cooked fish and especially this good is no big deal.

I regularly come to Andreas fish and chips shop and I am never disappointed with the quality of the food. The sausage chips and gravy is a personal favourite and the lunchtime deal is perfect for me. I would definitely recommend Andreas fish and chip shop to a friend.

I have been here four times in the last month and every time the fish and chips are of the highest quality and taste.

I have been a regular customer of Andreas Fish & Chip Shop for many years (right from the beginning, when they took over). The chips are always good, the fish is always fresh, but very often over-battered and oily. And, as other reviews suggest, you do get good portions and value for money. But, their kebabs are the worst I have ever had!!! To start with, the pitta bread was like a cream cracker, it was that stale. The salad, which is kept in a 'washing-up' bowl was not fresh, and the donner meat is the worst of the worst. Looking at the donner spit, the donner meat looks like an hour glass because they can't carve it properly or accurately. I ended-up with a donner kebab that was stale, tasteless, the meat was a mixture of under-cooked, over-cooked, and just plain burnt!!! Andreas, please improve your kebabs, buy a better quality donner meat, carve it properly, cook it properly, offer a wedge of lemon like you used to do, etc. I regularly have donner kebabs from other take-aways throughout the area, and they are all far better than yours. You really need to improve on your kebabs!!!

Always excellent has been for many years. - only the very best quality fish and other foods. I would never go anywhere else locally

All I can say is rubbish. I ordered fish and chips.

Visited while passing, not bad place but not as good as I thought it would be after reading some reviews. That said is worth another visit.

Our first visit was several weeks ago. Given the great reviews I was expecting an outstanding takeaway. Yes, the fish was lovely but the chips? I’m still perplexed about the taste of them as certainly not chip shop chips as I know them!

Excellent food, good chat from Andreas who knows everyone who comes in. Good and value for money. Fast service even on busy Fridays.

Decided on chippy tea for a treat.All meals very good, Prices reasonable and service was very good even being as busy as they were,

Not much to say about this place. It's simply the best .really good portions cooked to perfection (fish &chips;).always go there when I can .

Visited today as most weeks, unfortunately there appears to be a variation in the quantity of chips per portion, family always give a generous portion but not always so with the staff, shame because we have always had great meals from here and will still continue to visit as this is probably a temporary issue and it’s still the best fish and chip shop in the area

This place has to be one of the best Fish and chip shops around, and Andreas always adds a touch of entertainment whilst waiting for your order. Great hot food, mega portions and great service. The fact that there is often a queue outside says it all!

Called in last Saturday night on my way home from visiting friends, saw the light on and went in, so glad I did, very friendly and chatty, I got a small cone of chips on the house while I was waiting for my order to be cooked. Food was lovely and fresh and tasty. Lovely place. Excellent value.

The greatest chippy in the North West, friendly owner and staff, fresh not and extremely tasty chips. The menu is very varied and all the food is served very quickly with a smile, and judging by the massive que outside I am not the only one who thinks so.

This is the best place to go for fish and chips in Preston. Cheerful friendly staff and great food. Everything is freshly cooked and Andreas is always there chatting to everyone

Lovely friendly service. Food is good! Will definitely return and recommend to friends and family!!!

Cypriot Andreas is a warm welcoming man who serves great food with a smile and lots of banter, really good fish & chip shop. no steps, on street parking.

Visited today for lunch, haddock and chips, excellent as always food all freshly cooked.Very busy today as usual.

Popped in here as I was passing and remembered my son had been and said he had the best fish and chips ever. Sounded a bit ott but he knows his food to.

Clearly much used by local trade as busy, friendly proprietor knew many customers by name, service a little slow as portions measured in plastic trays but then transferred to paper, well cooked chips, decent chicken kebabs and fish, plenty of parking on main road outside.

Andreas is a fantastic person serving fantastic fish and chips! Forget your celebrity chefs/cooks etc this man is THE best. His food preparation is second to none-results therefore are to die for.

Came here on a whim when we were passing through and so glad be stopped by. The food is fantastic - we had the chicken kebab/gyros and chips.

We stopped here at 11 pm on the way back through from a show. What a fantastic way to end the night. Andreas the only what a personable man. Had us laughing and fully engaged with us. Great food fresh crispy chips all wrapped with a personable touch. Andreas could not have been more attentive if he tried. Its a pleasure to spend my money in an establishment like this. we'll be back for sure!!! Nice to meet you Andreas

Love the fish and chips here. Crispy Batter and nice large fish, chips not greasy either, Peas not too watery and gravy tasty.

Visited Andreas' Chippy again as we do on a regular basis, this is by far the best chippy in the Preston area and would thoroughly recommend a visit for quality well cooked fish etc and generous servings of chips.

We were in Preston, and l looked up this chipy from the good reviews. Easily found, and car parking outside. We had the fish and chips, all freshly cooked to order. Such friendly and informative sons of Andreas, so passionate and genuinely nice guys. What a pleasure to eat, tasty fresh, and so enjoyable. The battered fish was delish, but the chips, defiantly the best ever. Its in my favourite in the sat nav, for the next visit to Preston. 10/10 you wont get better food or service.

Great food, never been let down, friendly local chip shop, would recommend every time, prices are decent too.

Worst chicken kebab I've ever had in my entire life. I hope the very small amount I did eat passes through my guts without problems

By far the best fish and chip shop I have ever visited. The food is delicious, everything tastes amazing in particular the gravy. It's truly great food and the positive attitude of staff is great to see, had a good chat with Andreas's son too.

Simply the best fish and chip shop around. Friendly and chatty people who remember you even if you only visit every now and again. Food is always good and fish is large and fresh

This was recommended to me as THE place to get fish & chips in the area and they were not wrong. The portions were ample, the food was all very freshly prepared due to the number of customers coming and going and the prices were very reasonable. The owner of the establishment is very friendly and the service was excellent. You can park outside reasonably easily and it is absolutely worth the trip even if you have to detour a bit to get there.

Their fish & Chips is superb.Although it takes a few minutes to prepare and your order fulfilled; yet the friendly chatter of the cashier males you feel right at home, as if you were talking to your brother.

Me and the hubby try our hardest to visit here everytime we visit my grandparents in Much Hoole, we have no decent fish and chip shops in Darwen so we look forward to Andreas alot! My grandparents and ourselves have been coming here for years ever since I was little and him and his staff have always being very polite and friendly and the food has always been excellent, just wish we lived closer so we could enjoy it more often

Not from Preston myself however whenever I'm near will always pop in. 100% fresh excellent food, tastes divine. Sometimes que is out of the door as is so popular due to its amazing tastes.

The food is always great, they offer a wide variety of food from fish and chips to amazing chicken kebabs! I have never had any complaints about the food or the service. The staff are very friendly and always happy! You are guaranteed to leave this place smiling.

We were coming back from a trip to southport and saw the chippy We went in and found the staff very friendly and welcoming the chips and pies were great and the milkshake Lovely warm friendly chippyThank you

Very friendly place , staff always talk to you whilst serving you. Portions are very generous and always taste fantastic . Very well priced for the food served .

this is my local chippy, been here several times and never disappointed, there is sometimes a queue, however this shows how popular the chippy is. really enjoy the tasty curry sauce. great service and off the road parking available, will be coming back again soon!

Always been going to Andreas, lovely fish and chips! I always go for chips, pudding and gravy (which you can't beat from here)

called in for fish and chips on our stay with friends in preston on their recommendation and were not disapointed ! my wife had battered sausage and chips and i decided on a chicken kebab and chips . the chicken kebab was the best ive ever had(and ive had a few ! ) and the value for money was great . we ll be in a again when were next up from cornwall !!

We have used Andreas for years. It is extremely popular and recently won Fish & Chip shop of the year. Andreas himself is a character and has his family helping him. The food is delicious with a big variety to choose from. My favourite is the chicken kebab with a pot of chili sauce. And portion of chips are definitely generous. Go and treat yourself for a good meal.

Consistently good fish and chips here with delicious mushy peas. Homemade pie a little salty which is a real shame as otherwise tastes fantastic and a personal favourite. Andreas is often very busy so you may have to queue but it is worth any wait just to hear Andreas stories and good banter. Staff professional and friendly. Prices reasonable. Parking is usually available at the roadside. This family-run enterprise also actively supports the local community.

After a busy day at work my husband stopped at Andreas on his way home to get us a chippy tea as a treat. What a treat it was. The fish was wrapped seperately from the chips so it stayed perfectly crisp. This also stopped all the chips sticking to the fish as I sometimes find happens. We both really enjoyed the meal and said it was the best chippy tea we had had in a long while. My husband also commented how friendly the staff were and were very efficient. Thanks Andreas we will be back soon!

This is my local Fish and Chip shop who sell the best you can buy! Also they are great charity givers! Recently they supplied our charity 'Luv Preston'100 portions of chips and sausages and mushy peas free of charge for our drop in! The poor and homeless were able to taste the best chips and sausages in Preston! Andreas cannot be beaten!!

Excellent food (probably not been but as anthony r says its bad that normally means its excellent) keep it up

Called in tonight i have been twice before, fancied a chicken kebab but they had run out. All that was left was fish, so I ordered fish and chips with mushy peas but no mushy peas left. I got home opened the paper sweaty bundle, to find chips they were ok but fish, should be called batter and fish. Photo attached. Don't think I'll be going again.

I don't often eat a takeaway fish and Chips...because l have been disappointed in the past.But l had read the other reviews of Andreas on TripAdvisor.....and thought l would try them myself.I was greeted with a nice smile from l think the owner (he was frying the fish and chips)I mentioned to him that l would like 2 lightly battered fish and he was only too pleased to accommodate me.I ordered 2 Lightly battered fish, chips and mushy peas and they were delicious l will most definitely be returning.One point though there were loads of Chips, and l had to throw quite a lot away. But better to many than not enough.I wish them continued success.

I was in Penwortham having a few drinks with a friend, once we parted company I decided to grab some chips on the way home. As I was driving through Prenwortham I thought I would pop in to Andreas chippy, I had never been before and I was hungry so thought I'd give it a go.From the moment I walked in I was greeted by a very jolly chap! He told me I'd have to wait a little while for the chips as they are cooked fresh. It was well worth the wait as the chips were fantastic, Andreas is friendly and is clearly very enthused and passionate about providing: "the best chips in town". There's not many authentic chippies like this around anymore, safe to say I will not hesitate to pop in again! Excellent value for money. Cheers Andreas!

i've been visiting the place for years, the owner is awesome, he appreciates his customers, his food is always impeccable and always has a smile and nothing is too much trouble.if you have any special requests they always try to accommodate and if other places were half as good they still can't match up. hope the new additions to the shop make it even better he will just need some big comfy sofas for you to chill out on whilst your awaiting your food to be cooked fresh. well done andreas ian

Such lovely food also greeted with a warm welcome by the lady at the till think her name was Rachel will definitely be visiting again

Winners of the Lancashire Evening Post Best Chippy and no wonder. The owner, his family and staff are always helpful and serve with a smile.I struggle choosing between the fish always freshly cooked, huge and very very tasty or the Chicken Kebab, tonight the Kebab won and I was not disappointed as usual it was delicious. Thank you Andreas

I thought I would try here for a change, fed up with warmed up and recooked food.What a pleasant surprise, had Haddock and Chips, fish was enormous and very nicely cooked, chips were great and the amount was huge.Best chippy in the area by a mile, no wonder it's the LEP Fish and Chip shop of 2016Well deserved!!!!!!!!!Would thoroughly recommend.

th Highly recommended, 3 weeks ago called one lunchtime at 2.15 Andreas welcomed me and asked what I wanted and that he didnt mind getting whatever I wanted....Haddock and Chips was the order. During the wait for freshly cooked food he gave me a Chicken Nugget from the warm tray, gave me a coffee from the machine and we had a real good chat about things including me living in Spain. When the order was ready he gave me more Nuggets and a pot of Mushy Peas that I did not order or pay for.... The fish was to die for and the chips superb, the Nuggets were excellent and the coffee very nice indeed. 2 weeks later we called again one evening, my Wife went in the shop and as usual a chat ensued at which point she mentioned I had called in previously, the mere mention of Spain and he remembered me and our chat, once again the food was superb. I will be there again as soon as we get back to UK for Christmas....quality food and superb personal service and attention, no wonder he won Chippy of the year, very well desreved !!Like · Reply · 1 · 3 hrs

It was our first visit here, and literally just stopped as we were looking for somewhere to eat having been to Southport.We were greeted by the lovely owner and assistant from this fabulous chip shop..and this man really wants you to enjoy the food and can't do enough to help!He has just been awarded the best fish and chip shop 2016..and deservedly so! The food was excellent, the best chicken kebab that we have ever had, and the chips were excellent! ..pity we don't live nearer, but if we are passing nearby again we will definitely be back! Thanks for the great food!! ;) Nearly forgot to mention that the owner has installed a hot drinks machine at his expense for his customers to have a free drink of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate 10/10 for this fab eatery!

Andreas fish shop has very bland and boring decoration and needs to update its decoration to interest more customers. The food is very average and other fish shops nearby have a higher standard and I wouldn't go there again but the staff are very nice and they have good opening hours.

I have bought Fish & Chips here many, many times over the years and have seen Andreas grow his business (and his waist line). Portions are generous, the staff are friendly and the service is very good. The food is very good as well. I was there on Saturday evening - 10.30 pm and was offered the choice between Fresh Silver Hake, Fresh Cod or Fresh Haddock. Not many takeaways do that these days. Andreas has just won the Lancashire Evening Post Fish and Chip Shop of the Year (2016) award.

Good service and food was good. Takeaway was clean and did not have to wait too long. Fish were of a good size and there were plenty of chips.

I was in the area last week during a training course when I had a craving for fish and chips. I had a look on Google and saw that this chippy was nearby so decided to go in. The food was freshly cooked to order and tasted delicious. The staff were also friendly and £5 for a large fish and chips is a great price. If I'm ever back in the area I would definitely go again.
