Andy's Chippy in Bedford

GREAT place for value and quality, STILL the Best Chippy in Bedford

I have just brought a portion of kids chips from Andy’s chippy opened up the wrapping and looked at how small they were. When I tried to bite into one chip it was rock hard and I mean rock hard. These chips had been cooked and I was waiting 20 minutes for my order at no time did they put any fresh chips on. Took one bite and it has broken my tooth. When I rung up to complain given lots of excuses as to why they are so hard. Worst chips I have ever had now got emergency dentist in the morning. Offered £6 back insulting. Apparently it was the potatoes fault. Not the cook. Pictures of the chips and picture of my tooth.

Always polite reasonably priced nice chips and a nice size portion best chippy in Bedford I come from Buckinghamshire nowhere will match Andy's trust me thanks to all the friendly staff spring rolls and curry rolls are bangin

Always great food. If you are a potential new customer be aware that Andy's popularity does mean there can be some queues at peak times. But well worth a short wait. A*A*A*

Very good value, very clean. Friendly staff

You get plenty of chips I get regular fish and chips small curry sauce and small batter sausage with mars batter and end up sometimes having sausage and chips for lunch next day as I cant eat them all shame they dont do takeaways and would be nice if they put snickers on the menu

These people give the worst service, it's horrible, I wish someone would do something so that scenes like this don't have sales defects in England, outside of Bedford.

Decades later this is STILL the BEST fish and chips in Bedford! Way better than anywhere in London :)

Love Andy's Chippy! Food is always great and staff are always polite and friendly🍟

I called asking if their chips were gluten free and cooked separately by themselves - not with other food. Was confidently assured that they are gluten free, and a fresh batch would be made separately when i arrived. Unfortunately i was still ill (glutened) after eating so their measures to prevent cross contamination are not enough - please do not offer anything gluten free unless you are sure it is correctly handled and prepared.

Always superb. Excellent wraps, kebabs, fish, chicken etc, etc. Undoubtably the best in Bedford. Worth a trip from out of town.

Great tasting food, not always consistent. I usually get Fish and chips. The last fish I had was really greasy, and the batter was a darker colour than normal. Great chips, the fish is hit and miss some times.

I didn't like this place, they had a long time without changing the oil, they gave me some chips with a lot of OLD oil and the lady is rude and treats the customers poorly.

Food. A decent sized medium cod, but it had been sitting in a warmer for a while and was barely warm. The batter was very greasy. The chip portion was huge, but a lot of the chips were very small and stuck together. Again, not very warm. Service. The person who served chewed constantly, seemed miserable, and was uncommunicative. At first, I thought he was mute. Maybe he didn't speak English well. We were served quickly upon arrival, but he took an age getting the fish and chips, wrapping everything up, then getting pickled onions, then putting everything in a bag. Atmosphere. It is a take away chippy, so 3* is a max anyway. None of the staff were friendly. The counters are fronted by perspex screens with rough holes cut in them for passing your cash in and your order out. Average value, unremarkable but not awful food, I won't recommend and probably won't go back. A 2 to 2.5% but I went there for food, not service or atmosphere, so 3*

Best fish & chip shop in Bedford. Have been going here for over 40 years and never had a bad meal. Staff are always friendly and polite

Always good service and good food at Andy's... probably the best chippy in Bedford

Very good food and service was very fast but can get cramped if multiple people are ordering at 1 time.

Shows open time on a Wednesday as 11am, arrived at 11:30 to the shutters still closed, Wasted lunch break coming over.

Omg the worst meal I have ever had. I ordered a small fish batter was so dark brown it was difficult to cut. Tiny bit of fish coated in the thickest gluey batter even the cat turned his nose up. Spam fritter over cooked and batter was so thin the outside of the fritter you could not cut rock solid. Only ate a bit in the middle of the spam rest in bin. Curry roll again burnt and very crispy. Chips and chicken ok but very dry. £17 was a total waste of money. Having to make toast instead at least that wasn’t burnt. Think I will be looking for a new chippy as it has left a bad taste .

I always pre order and pick up is quicker as they are always busy well done great food

Has been here for years and has always been consistently good. Excellent fish and chips. They also do fried chicken and kebabs but I have not sampled these. The chips only seem to come in one size and that's huge. I normally have haddock and small chips and there are always too many chips to eat. I freeze the extras and when reheated in the oven they are even better.

Made a order for pineapple fritter and large chips over the phone pick order came home and my husband had one bit of fritter and it was pork which we don't eat reng then and got rudness from boss in the end she said she will give me the order and money went in all the staff was denied it and was so rude to me there was a guy and he was so rude and upset me they threatened me they not giving my money if I give them a bad review it was so bad the way they all shouting at me

Love this chippy but not taking cards which can be a problem.

Sometimes their prices change from one week to next

Food was fresh and yammi. It was not overprice. I enjoyed it.

Food quality seems to have gone drastically downhill during 2023. I'm now looking for a new chippie.

Always great food from here would reccomend

Always excellent...great fish..tons of chips a smile and usually a queue...can't recommend enough

Chips were fine, plaice overcooked and a little old by the taste, won't go back. Mush better places

Poorly cooked food and overpriced. Not very friendly staff when you complain.

Found ourselves in need of a new chip shop after our local went considerably downhill so we got a takeaway from here last night and it was very tasty and not bad value at all! I was a bit sceptical due to a few reviews saying the cod was “more batter than fish” but the cod I had couldn’t have been further from that. It was perfectly crispy with tasty, fluffy cod in the middle. My husband had a battered sausage and saveloy and my son had a doner kebab wrap. They also loved theirs! The large chips was a huge portion which fed the 3 of us with plenty left over. We ordered and then went to wait outside as it started to get busy. There wasn’t a long wait for food and the guy even bought it outside to us which was really appreciated. £5.60 for a medium cod which was a very decent size. Wouldn’t hesitate to return!

My wife went in to pick up something for lunch! This being steak and kidney pie and chips and battered sausage and chips. Now we have used them a few times since they opened and never had a issue. But today the chips were cooked but tasted raw the sausage was horrible and the pie tasteless. I wouldn't give my dog them. What I would say is I hope the codfather are back from holiday soon Because they are the best.

The nicest cleanest chip shop ever

Tasty chips and very generous portion size. My only grip is can be expensive compared to other shops

Once i entered Andys Chippy they immediately pinned me down and the bouncer shook me down of all my loose change then beated me mercilessly. i only wanted a portion of chips but they made me buy the whole menu as they threatened to throw me into the deep fryer and turn me into battered cod. i was also forced to have their special horse radish and mustard sauce on my chips which had expired 20 years ago. not very nice. the chips were hot though and very tasty. once they had emptied my pockets of all my life savings they tried to eliminate me but i was able to overpower the bouncer and i called my friend Mike Gallagher and together we defeated the evil Andys Chippy Men. good atmosphere but bit smelly.

One of the few good places to get fush and chips. The amount of chips u get is unbelievable

Good quality Nation's favourite food. Only one around here that does one of my favourites - Spam Fritter. Considering the price increases that all take away food outlets have had to make, still reasonably priced. Recommended...

Great service loads of chips fish is really nice. They do a good selection of stuff

Ordered a large haddock. Sadly the fish was cooked to a cinder. Plenty of batter!! There was more fish in a fish finger. this expensive mess was not pleasant. Does any one in this chip shop really know how to cook fish?

Like with most fish and chip shops, prices have soared, it costs £7.60 for a large cod/haddock fish in batter, and £4.50 for a large portion of chips, and £2 for a large pot of curry sauce, that's one expensive meal, if ate on your own, was half the price a year or two ago,but most shops charge the same now. They also do Kebabs, which again taste good but you won't get much change for a large one from £10.

Always great fish and chips. Kebabs are amazing too.

Great value and massive portions

Best fish and chips in town. Have been visiting this place for years.

Fish was greasy, plenty of chips but not great, curry sauce was pretty poor

Really good value for money . huge portions

Quality and portion sizes are always good. Never had a problem, definitely recommend and will continue to visit

Nice service but I thought was a bit expensive , I had large cod and chips the fish looked huge but when I opened it was all batter an hardly any fish , miles of chips though but unfortunately I can't eat too many so gave to my foxes , I will not go again purely on the cost was 12.80!

I've given a star because the fish cake was good but the chips? ! ! Won't be going back

Popular local chippie, good range of food at decent prices. Might be more efficient service, chips sometimes a bit mushy. But I'll keep going there.

Well cooked. Tastey fish. Fast service. Recommended. Having survived Covid the business is as efficient and friendly as ever.

Andy's Chippy is always my go-to and found out today... they now take card payments!!!!!

Great service, lovely food, only issue was certain standard items not prepared during busy times. Huge wait for a piece of Haddock was annoying but the quality was great. Also their chicken fresh is probably a lot better than what you tend to get.

Practically perfect in every way. I can't fault anything with this place, good food, squeaky clean, huge portions, lovely efficient staff.

Really nice food. If you want to eat good quality fish and chips this is the place.

Excellent fish and chips. Big portions.

I ordered from Andy's Chippy a few days ago, portion sizes are good and they have a good selection of foods. However, the amount of flies buzzing around the food totally put me off. I wanted salad with my food, but decided not to have it when I saw a fly walking all over the onions! It then proceeded to the lettuce container! Please sort this out, it's really unhygienic and off putting!

Good traditional fish and chips 👌

Really top quality cod and chips. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Excellent chips and burgers are amazing aswell as kebabs good service

Love this place...highly recommended.

Very good, hot fresh chips good value !!

Just finished eating cod & chips. Lovely !

Quality and quantity always of a good standard. Easy parking for collection. Popular so get there early.

Fresh and lovely chips fab batter on fish

Great standard of fish and chips and big portions.

Excellent fish and chips. Polite and friendly service. And recently kindness which was appreciated. Thank you!

Delicious and generous portions, very clean and staff willing to accommodate to my request to dress my chips with abundance of salt 'n' vinegar :)

My go to chippy in Bedford. Never been disappointed.

Found Andy's Chip shop a couple of months ago, really enjoy the food and the service. Sometimes there's a queue but they are pretty speedy, so you don't wait too long.

Great food and service as always.

Safe, hygienic and huge portions

Really poor, massive portions but the chips were not fresh, luke-warm a complete disappointment.

Always enjoy the food from here.

Excellent service, very clean surroundings and sanitised inside often through out the day, screen dividers at the checkout. Large menu plus food is Hot and tasty, good value for your money here

This is not the closest chippy to where I live, but it is the one most likely to be open when I fancy fish and chips at an odd time of the day. The food itself is as good as any.

Massive portions, 2 large cod and a large chips fed four of us. It was like a biblical miracle!!! Good food 🙂

Very rude and pretty racist. Fix up

Excellent but one portion of chips is enough for two we ordered five chips and had almost three left over, six of us

Reasonable fish and chips but what miserable staff! You never get a smile or a thank you, they just have a permanent dour look from taking your order to taking your money.

Picking the large chips, although they're £3.80 there is enough there for maybe 4 grown adults. The fish was good, but there wasn't much chicken. Staff were kind, would go again :)

One portion of chips fills a Carrierr bag and feeds the whole family great service one of the best in Bedford

Great service and nice size portion one fo the bast

Long waiting queues even if pre ordered. Makes no logical sense to wait in a queue if your food is already preordered and ready to collect. But wait in a queue for half an hour. Then it’s cold. 👍🏻

Went here about 10 years ago with my stepfather who grew up in bedford... Glad to see when I get married I'll be able to bring my family here. Best flaky fried fish there is. Fried mars bars were also the best, so rich and decadent!

Too expensive compared to others in the area. Ocean Fish bar is way better and cheaper

Tasty fair square meal at a fair Square price. This fish and chip shop, I have been visiting for 40 years now and it is as good today as it was back then. One of the fairest and nicest chippys in the country, in my view. This chippy is a must try

Quality fish n chips. Chips are fried perfectly, not soggy or excessively greasy. Fish was excellent, crispy and succulent. Why only 4 stars? A standard portion of fish and chips could easily feed 2 adults, maybe a child too, so if you're watching your waistline I'd opt for a small or half portion of chips. Free parking spaces approx. 20 paces from the front door. Covid measures in plaice(!) and an excellent queuing system has you in and out in moments few.

Efficient service and tasty fish 'n' chips.

Friendly efficient service, lovely traditional fish and chips. Big portions!

Great staff very professional and food fantastic best chippy in bedford
