Armstrong’s Fish and Chips in Oldham

Fish and chips top quality from here

Decent Chippy if you live in this part of the world. Good size portions and not over priced.

Great chippy, great food and lovely service from the staff, busy as expected with the result of delicious taste and no pressure what so ever it was a great treat 😁👌

Armstrongs chippy in Shaw Oldham. Very friendly staff especially Jenny warm smile and welcome . Fish is excellent. Car park across the road on Shaw market is Free parking. Definitely recommend this chippy.

Came in at around 5 and specifically asked if the chips were fresh before ordering.. got home and EVERY single chip was rock solid, probably reheated from the morning, so I just spent £6.75 for some inedible chips and a crumbly mediocre fish.. absolutely rip off, the atmosphere is horrendous, the staff just want to pack their bags and go home, not a care in the world. Can't express more about how this place has gone downhill

Just had fish chips and Irish curry,the fish was tasty,the curry was delicious but the chips were inedible,hard and rubbery,like they had been reheated,wouldn’t go again,at least not for chips

Ordered jumbo cod which was in fact a large one with a bit stuck on the end ! Large chips in a bag I was handed the cod to hold in my hand and the large chips in a bag open inside a plastic bag not impressed . Luke warm when I got them home

Love a visit to Armstrong's for some chicken curry & rice 🍛

we ordered food and there was no salad one one burger and barely any mayo for a chicken mayo burger and no salt and vinegar on the chips and i tried ringing and no one answered i am not very happy with the service and delivery i don’t understand how people get orders wrong when it’s clear . we pay money for that service i’m very unsatisfied

Missing portions from our take away order. We had an order for 10 people. Chips were old and dry and not appetizing at all. Fish was half the size of the fish we’d got from this place in the past, as recently as 2 weeks before. But seriously, getting 8 portions of old, dry, shrivelled chips was not acceptable. We won’t go back..

Armstrong chippie Shaw Worst fish and chips in life won't like to try again

What can i say but easily the best Chippy in Oldham ☺

Amazing food amazing employees and you must try the spring rolls

The chips sausage and gravy was sold cold and over priced will not be returning

I’ve been here many times and the food is always amazing the employees are always kind and even when it’s full you always get your food fast

Great food, decent portions didn't have to wait to long..

amazing fish and chips.sausage good ..gravy and curry sauce ..Really enjoyed

Always service woth a smile and everyone who.works here is really friendly and helpful

We come here often I love it there ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it is amazing there🤩

Was in the area visting family and called in for a simple chippy butty, just before closing. Greeted with 3 smiling faces, all willing to help despite cleaning......They really looked after me and i left very happy.....my chip butty hit the spot too 😁

Good choice of food, excellent service.

Tried the fish goujons with mushy peas absolutely delicious highly recommend, the staff are always good fun in there and make you feel very welcome

Expensive rubbish. Armstrong's best days are well behind them, avoid. Onion & lettuce alone DO NOT MAKE A SALAD Crusty, reheated chips. NOTHING here is freshly prepared. Double the price for half of the service. Never again.

Went and got chips and gravy at 12:45, the chips taste like they were cooked yesterday and reheated today, that place has gone downhill fast

Had the huge cod and chips. Was nice, warm and enjoyed even after ten minute ride home.

Was great when it first opened and for many years after. Portions and quality aren't as good anymore.

Overpriced, tasteless, chips dry ,burnt , warm ups , stay clear of this place , how the owners can sleep at night is beyond me , needs closing down asap !

Got served rotting bad smelling food🤢🤮offered vouchers no refund wat a waste

Food has really good downhill in recent times losing its good reputation. Chips are definitely not fresh anymore :-( Overpriced chippy ..watersheddings chippy much better value for money with friendly staff.

Disgusting chips rock hard I had softer candy rocks at Blackpool than there chips called to complain no answer very rude lady at the counter

Only problem is card only , and sometimes they forget to put my vinegar on , fish lovely though

It's over priced, food is average, not as good as it used to be, the fish is nothing great as I've had much better at a lower price, customer service after leaving is non existent as they don't answer calls or respond to emails. The picture attached is a regular chips and gravy 🤨 I wouldn't travel out to this chip shop.

Absolutely appalling you’re chips were crusty and most definitely reheated totally dissatisfied 😒 how can you serve food like that!!!!

Ordered Hollands steak pudding and chips twice for me and my friend. The pudding looked dry when the lady put it in the tray and the chips looked anemic but thought they might taste better than they looked...absolutely awful the pudding was dry inside and out and the meat inside was dry with no gravy, the chips were awful they were hard too. Will never go there again as food inedible and all went in the bin..

Ask for small breaded as get them on weekly basis. But according to cook in all the time she's worked there she said she'd never do one. Poor service, the chips had probably been sat couple of hours, gravy like water. Definitely gone down hill now, high prices for fish and chips I can cook better at home!!

Terrible food... both chips and scallops refried making not edible... Disgusting how you can charge for food like this! Don't waste your money

Good quality food at reasonable prices.

Great fish and chips would go more often but sick of cueing well Uber guy's get served always happens

Always used to get decent fish and chips, went last night the fish was thin and mostly batter cold chips and full of black bits and very runny mushy peas. So sad as this used to be the best.

Staff friendly and food good always friendly face when u go in

I’ve been a customer for a long time, I remember coming after school more a less every day and ordering the deep fried marsbar, and I wasn’t the only one there was alot of us. They’d be a very long queue 🤣 everybody wanted one! If you guys could bring those back I think I’d be the happiest customer ever 🙏

Certainly on the decline,wife ordered for delivery small fish n chips x2, and 1 regular fish n chips arrived 40 minutes late from time given ,minus 1 small fish n chips ,tried to phone numerous times to complain about missed items no answer,the food we received was cold and not nice at all

Absolutely terrible, the chips were not cooked properly and the fish was swimming in grease , and to top it off I had to go to the ATM because they don't accept cash. My only advice would be to avoid the place .

Unfortunately my food was horrible. The fish was totally inedible. It definitely had been refried, it wasn’t even chewy it was solid including the little bit of fish inside. It was saturated in cooking oil. The chips I had to choose which ones were edible not particularly nice but I was hungry. Only able to eat some as the lovely Chinese sauce masked the low quality chips.

The fish was very poor. It was like it had been battered twice, the batter was that thick. The batter was tough and chewy. Chips were ok.

Never again, A normal portion of chips, £2plus...all bits, reheated, 1 scallop, double battered hard as nails again reheated. The staff all talking about a customer once he'd left, not good for customer relations, makes you wonder what they say about you behind your back. No, never again sorry.

I ordered 2 haddock, 1 large chips and 1 large peas. The haddock was nice, however the chips were awful. They were frozen chips that were thin cut and boiled in oil that was clearly not hot enough. The worst chips I've ever eaten, sorry thrown in the bin! Also the peas were cold, it was very over priced, I won't be returning.

The best chippy ever ! I visite here most Fridays. Always top quality food and great service.

Forgot one our fish and chips , the girl that served us was in her own world , had to tell her out order 3/4 time , 2 fish and chips and a separate chips and a tub ov pees , the pees was stone cold and solid . Would not come back, had to come back to pick the other half ov the order up because no-one would pick up the phone after trying to call a number of times

Great chippy, lots of variety of food and mega portions.

Terrible Chippy. Do not go to it! Made all the family sick. Used to be brilliant but now really bad.

Something has gone wrong as the chips are greasy and cause me terrible sickness. Enjoy the fish but not as impressive as it used to be?

Worst fish and chips I have ever had fish wasn't nice tasted like fat needed changing chips were old and the scrag ends of potatoes peas ok curry was congealed will not ever buy again or recommend sorry

I only wanted a steak pudding and they wouldn't take cash.....I will never step foot in the place ever again.....that's just a joke.

Large portions, reasonable prices, efficient staff. I don't go for the atmosphere. Only downside is card only payment. Been caught out a couple of times.

Not been for a while as it's been poor, thought I'd give it another chance. When will I learn ! Stingy portion and rubbish chips. Also charge more than what's displayed on price board.

Experience is from delivery via Uber eats. Food arrived cold, wrong item was given ( curry instead of peas). Ordered cheese and onion pie and chips and peas twice. One portion only had an handful of chips. Other portion was ok but as said previously, food was cold. Overpriced for food quality.

Very Friendly staff. Always smiling whilst getting served. Best Fish and chips shop in the area.

I think this is the best place for good ole fish and chips, we went on Friday evening and it was very busy the staff do try and serve you with a smile but they were rushed off their feet, and although they are signs up saying no cash card only one person was disappointed as he only had cash and was turned away .

The food is really nice from here. The staff are always really friendly.

Decided not to use them, when i realised they don't accept cash.

Didn't even get to taste as they don't accept cash. No custom from me until they do

Not sure what is going on with this place. It used to be fantastic, but the quality has gone downhill massively in recent times. We order quite regularly via Uber Eats and have noticed that there is a tendency to not deliver certain items that you order. For example, I've yet to receive any muffin that I've ever ordered - at £1 a pop as well! This forces you to go through Uber Eats' rather tortuous claims process to try and get your money back. Our most recent order also had Armstrongs deliver a jumbo sausage rather than the footlong we ordered - however, the nuance of this apparent issue was lost on Uber Eats who couldn't understand the problem, so I guess we'll have to suck up the loss ourselves on that one. The biggest insult though was the chips though. They were greasy, and overcooked - a real disappointment. Like I said, it used to be a real treat to get chippy tea from this place - in future, I think we'll swerve it.

If you want the biggest potion of chips the The world you will have come to the right place.

This used to be a fabulous chippy , now its a bit overpriced and the chips are always from bad potatoes , I now go elsewhere and accasionally go back thinking it may have changed , unfortunately today I got an overdone pudding and bad chips again , nothing has changed 😔

Had a fish here today. Unfortunately it was not up to Armstrong's usual standard. The piece had obviously been cooked some time before. It was a small rectangular shape and although edible it was not delicious as previous fish purchased from here. There was a strange sinew down the side of it which I discarded as I was unsure what it was. Hopefully this was a one off..

Went in for a bag of chips and it seems this place now only takes card payments. A shame as last time I went the fish was lovely. Ended up going elsewhere, but I guess now I know. I tend to avoid card only places as I don't want lots of small payments on my cards.

Been here a few times, consistency is not great. Things can be hit and miss and they sometimes get orders wrong on deliveroo. Staff are lovely though and when its good its very good.

Great chippy, great food, I go regularly, or I order through Uber, highly recommend.

Great quality food. Lots of choice

Great fish & chips, generous portions, battered sausages ( no spam fritters though)

I got fish chips . the chips were not that good and now you can only pay with card payment only they will not accept cash

Arrogant management, food average and expensive. Definitely not what they use to be far better chippy’s, fish small not impressed, Ordered from Ubereats paid £4.50 delivery/service costs . Order arrived without my daughters meal .Called Armstrongs they had forgot it could I collect as they are busy 🤬 if I could have collected why would I have paid the delivery costs in the first place . Called Uber driver who offered to go back free of charge. I said to Armstrongs it would be nice if you gave him something for his trouble . Manager then had the cheek to call me back to say had I told her member of staff that they must give the driver something. No I suggested it would be nice and certainly what you would expect from a reputable business . Especially when they made the error, driver came back and guess what Armstrongs had not gave him anything not even a thank you. Disgusting Armstrongs you should be ashamed making other people pay for your mistakes . No cash was kept at the shop well I am sure one of the managers had a few pounds in their bag . Last time we will giving this place any business.

Usually get chips cheese n gravy with a haddock and it always bangs. Recently found out they do milkshakes and theyre nice and thick as they should be. 10/10

Best fish you, ll get so far from sea side no joking apart really is

Do you like long dark hair inside your meal? If so this is the place for you! After we found a long dark hair in our actual meal we contacted armstrongs about this who chose to ignore all the messages sent and not respond. Customer service is 0/10, hygiene is obviously without a doubt -0/10 (imagine what they do to the food prep you can’t see) and overall you’re paying £25 for 2 average sized fish and around 10 chips, 2 muffins and a side. Nothing but bad reviews all over Facebook and here and it shows why! Will never be returning that’s for sure. Filth.

Card only business, they refused to accept cash, I thought this is illegal ? pie was ok… chips looked like they had been boiled.

New home made cheese and onion had a soggy top and bottom, I expected slice of pie. chips more like scraps and cold. No hint of seasoning The peas arrived hot!

Great staff, great food. Take a brolly if it's raining because it gets busy!

Great food. Amazing staff always very welcoming and friendly

The food was totally inedible so annoyed 😠

Great chip shop. Try the giant fish!!

Great chippy , great big FISH . 👍

Shame it's card only but food very nice

It's irrelevant what the food is like. The fact is that they have ceased taking cash payments. I won't go again until they resume normal service. Cash is essential to many people who don't or can't possess a card, especially school kids who rely on cash from their parents. If this practice spreads to other businesses, then it will be a downward spiral for many.

Very friendly service. Food quality (chips, peas) pretty standard. The rag pudding was delicious. I'd go again.

Bad chips bad fish. Will not be eating there...... again. Garbage. Fish rubbery.. yesterday chips.. pre cooking everything Had lightly battered fish so is was fresh. Still tastes like a fish bone you get in a bird cage.. not only did it ruin my day it ruined my week.. Stay well away

Fantastic chip shop with a little extra amazing food and brilliant staff and service they are always happy to help and they do a outstanding delivery service would highly recommend Armstrong's

Battered sausage n chips was nice

When i first moved to shaw this chippy was amazing the food was fantastic, The portions you got for the money was incredible. Now it costs a fortune for less than half what you used to get and the english curry is like jelly and full of lumps. Youre lucky if its even open most days too.

Not sure why people like this place so much. Been a few times to give it a chance. Chilli and rice was awful the rice wasn't cooked and still hard and the chilli had no flavour and was dry. Possibly the worst I've ever had. The chicken nuggets are pretty good. The fish is decent but nothing special. The chips are really not good soggy and pale. Also can be very expensive especially the chilli.

Most inconsistent chippy I’ve been to. One week you’ll get a perfectly cooked fish and chips. Next week you get a fish swimming in oil and barely cooked chips. This has been going on for least 6 months now. Sort it out, who wants fish in a pool of grease 🤦‍♂️

Nice fish but the so called chips ? Where not nice they where not what you would call chips scrap ends really and far to many would be better serving less , but chunky proper chips won’t be recommending the chips sorry.
