Chipmunk in St. Helens

Good chippy overall, nice and clean premises, fish, chips, mushy peas were all decent. Fast service. A larger fish option would be welcome.

Came out of the Gym and noticed it was open, 1st ever visit, the chips were fantastic, will return

good food, shame it's not open longer hours.

Always go here to get our Friday tea. Staff are so lovely and food is great.

Disappointing food, totally gone downhill, especially the chips, which are now very undercooked, mushy and greasy, it's a shame as it used to be such lovely food. It's very difficult to find a nice fish and chips shop in St.Helens these days.

Chips could do with a bit more colour on them but excellent. Fish excellent. Staff excellent

Never had a bad meal from Chipmunks, staff always friendly & polite, only negative is very popular 😋 & can get busy.

Visiting Chipmunk Fish & Chips, we were truly impressed by what this modest restaurant has to offer. As soon as we walked in, we noticed that this place is very popular – the long queue only confirmed our expectations about the quality of the food. The first thing that caught our attention was the really large portions at a very affordable price. For a small sum, we received a solid portion of fish and chips that will surely satisfy the biggest hunger. We cannot fail to mention the delicious fries, which stand out with their buttery flavor and excellent quality potatoes. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – the perfect combination. The fish served was juicy and fresh, and its taste was complemented by a super crispy batter. Every bite was a real pleasure for the palate. My son, who is quite picky, ate the whole large portion and was delighted with both the taste of the fish and the fries. His enthusiasm only confirmed that we chose an excellent place for lunch. An additional advantage of this place was the very friendly service. The staff were very polite, helpful, and always smiling. Thanks to them, we felt very welcome and comfortable. We were passing through this area during our holiday and already know that we will definitely return to Chipmunk Fish & Chips at every opportunity. This was undoubtedly the best fish and chips we have ever had. The whole experience, from service to food, was top-notch. We highly recommend everyone looking for authentic and tasty fish and chips to visit this place. You certainly won't be disappointed!

Very disappointing as the chips were cold and hard and tasted terrible felt like they had been warmed up. Fish as always beautifully cooked and service excellent but sadly will not be calling in again as this is not the first time the chips have been like this and just keep throwing them in the bin. Not hard to cook chips.

I occasionally go here for chips,peas and sausage 😋 just the smell walking past makes you want to go in 😂😂

Superb food well worth a visit many thanks

For me. .The best Fish and chips in St helens.go weekly at least nice portions and always fresh.There are others nearby but not as good.IMO.

Shocking!!!! The smallest portion sizes ever latley. Even when asking for a large. £5:10p for ten chips and a spoon full of curry. Avoid!!!! Go to crispey cod around the corner instead. Value for money there!!!!

My dad took me here for a trip down memory lane as he used to go when he was younger. Dad said the place hasn’t changed since he last went which I thought was so cool. Looked like a proper authentic 20th century chippy. Just got a portion of chips but I cannot compare them to any I’ve had before. They were delicious. Wish I would’ve tried more off the menu.

The best around. Crispy batter, and tasty chips.

Take away chippy, traditional but with extras.

Fish was greasy, chips were soft, peas 🤢🤢🤢. Thatto chipmunk miles better

Excellent fish and chips good portion.

Best chippy in town,has been since it opened over 40 years ago.

I love the English food they sell here. staff are great and very friendly. The service is great

Worst fish and chips in a long time!! Just been here - usually my favourite. They went almost straight in the bin. The batter on the fish was uncooked inside and had stuck all over the chips. The chips were barely cooked, and so full of fat. Obviously fat not hot enough. Hubby now off to the Tasty Corner to see if they can do better. Last time here.

Very expensive for very small portions! Chips are nice, but not that nice to pay so much for so little

Very expensive for very small portions. It cost double to some better Chip Shops in the St Helens area. Chips are nice, but not worth the price they charge for such small portions!

Last minute pit stop, enjoyed the food.

Nice fish and chips But prices either shot up or i was overcharged !! £16.15 for 2 fish 1 lge chips 1 peas 1curry 2 cans pop Is that right !?

One of the nicest fish and chips in St Helens

This chippy is the best in the North west everything you can purchase from here is A1 with good sized portions and the place is spotless.

I have been going to the chipmunk chippys for years went tonight Cody 16.75 got home the chips were swimming in grease he were undercooked couldn’t eat them very very poor quality.

I had never been to Chipmunk before and it was recommended. I had a craving for a battered burger which isn't on the menu but if burgers and batter is available, I don't see the issue? I had never had a problem ordering it from other places. I went in and asked the lady if that was ok and she replied, quite rudely, 'no we can't do that.' The cook in the back must have heard it and asked what I wanted and he was happy to do it for me. I appreciated that. The lady continued to be miserable and clearly just wanted to go home. Unfortunately, the batter was soggy and I like it crispy but I was still grateful that he had done it for me. I'm only giving three stars due to this accommodation. Will try again but not order a battered burger.

Getting expensive now, so just going to be an occasional treat. Fish was lovely but I wish the chips could be better.

Best chippy around, travel from Liverpool just for a proper fishcake 😋

Food is great but if you are paying by card make sure you check the charge on the machine as I got charged 13.30 for my order that only cost 3.30. Problem is they don't show u the cost on the machine before you pay. I will be getting in touch with them today about this overcharge

All meals cooked spot on, recommended.

I'm a wiganer but this chippy is brilliant

Best chips fish around in fact had alot of what was on the menu brilliant. Also best chipmunk shop ever .

Really good food, and great value. My first visit, but won't be my last. Highly recommended.

This chippy has always had an excellent reputation and I have been going for many years but unfortunately I will not be calling in any more. The last three times I have called in the chips have been inedible rock hard and cold and we just threw them in the bin. Staff always lovely but what is going wrong with the cooking of the chips?

Disappointed We have been using Chipmunk for ages, but the last 2 visits the chips have been pale and mostly very hard. I think they must have been cooked for a while, so not a pleasant experience.

Food was delicious would definitely recommend them, this shop is getting busier every week

Good chippy, well known in St Helens area. Staff are down to earth and friendly. Prices are what you'd expect, get good portions of whatever you order. Only thing that lets the place down is it looks pretty tired now and could really do with a refurb. Won't make the chips taste any better though I suppose.

Well I visited the Chipmunk today just after opening time (1630) after the recommendation by the star. Never never again. The chips were stone cold perhaps cooked at dinner or closing time and then used as soon as re opened, the fish was not fresh, again had been cooked sometime ago, cold as the chips even the batter was both hardened and dried out. The peas were lovely and hot and that’s why i give them a 1 star. If that’s the best for St Helens i will go out of town.

Excellent service from an excellent chippy

I've edited my review of this place as I used to really enjoy it here. Seems to me like the quality has slipped a bit. I know it's a chippy and I should expect greasy food but I have been genuinely shocked at the amount of grease on my food the last few times I've been here.

Food is Spot on, staff are friendly and there's no minimum charge for card purchases unlike some chippy's in Robins Lane.

Best chippy in St Helens staff very friendly and helpful 👌.

Very disappointed. Used to love this chippy. Heaviest meal put in bag on top of my fish so when opened fish was so squashed. No batter on fish as all stuck on paper due to being squashed... the peas were so so dry Chips dry, like yesterday's chips reheated The fish was not white, more like a grey colour and just very bland meal. Won't be going again

Worst fish ive have had wife said they were already cooked when she got there never again once bitten

Excellent. Wouldn't go anywhere else

Good food, good friendly service

Always polite staff. Good food. Winner winner fishy dinner

Always fresh and good portions.

Ordered a takeaway for collection at 5pm tonight Food was excellent : fish, chips and mushy peas were cooked to perfection. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed, 5 stars is not enough - 10 out of 5 is more like it 😋😋😋 mmmm

Great chippy, but they have got to start delivering soon they would find that it will work please give it a try I go were they deliver so do most people now

To me the chips were average n the curry sauce the same- the sausage was the highlight: Won't be going again!!

As always the best in my area well priced great value excellent staff very clean covid restrictions apply and well managed by the staff

Went for a collection at 4.45pm for an excellent 5* Fish, Chips and Mushy peas, Meat and Potato pie and Chips takeaway. Thank you so much, it was ready and waiting for me when I entered the shop. Fast, friendly and efficient service. Food was fantastic in all departments. Highly recommended.

Love the lightly battered fish chips and curry 🍽️

Love fish chips mushy peas mmmmmmm LARGE CHOICE ALL AGES AND TYPES OF FOOD salads, burgers, ribs, etc...

Love this chippy great staff great service but better still great food 10 out of 10 clean and family friendly also

Best Chippy in St helens an lovely staff 👌

We got first-class service here from the lovely lady and, importantly, they can serve fish in gluten-free batter on request. Card payments are definitely accepted (as per Covid guidelines), and not just cash.

Was told by a few people to try it. Had a basic meal of fish chips and peas. After removing the batter the fish was grey looking. That will be the first and last time I use any Chipmunks

Staff are to busy yapping to customers that your full order doesn't go in bag. On arrival at home a dinner is missing and when u go all way back they won't give u the missing food that they av charged u for. I had to come all way back home and wait for a phone call while he checks the cctv, what a joke.

Great fish & chips - recommended !

Best chips ever. Always has and will be

Every time I go here the food is great

best fish anywhere in st helens, lovely friendly staff, spotless clean, cant wait for them to open up again

This place had been here longer than even me and still going strong, and as always serves good quality fish and chips

Best fish an chips in st Helen's

Lovely , but definately not the cheaper option .

Our favourite chip shop. The staff are friendly and the food is great. Nothing much more to say except we will be back again soon!

Excellent food, I would love to see more choice though

A chippy is a chippy....but not this one. Honestly the best chippy for miles around. The fluffiest flakiest fish you have ever tasted and chips that taste how chips used to taste.

Tastiest chippy in sthelens for fish and chips

The best fish and Chip shop in St Helen's if not a lot wider afield. The ladies that serve are nice kind and respectful and you'll not find yourself waiting around, these girls are on the ball with your orders. The food is always hot when you get it home and it's cooked to perfection. They also do lots more than just the standard chippy meal. And you can also pay by card. Top Mark's for a top chip shop.

Small portions, terrible stomach aches after having the chips and been refused to be served ten minutes before opening and all my little boy wanted was a sausage which was already in the hot plate. DON'T OPEN YOUR DOORS IF YOUR GOING TO TURN CUSTOMERS AWAY!!!😡

Really good food. and very clean if you've not been go and try.

Good Food and very friendly Staff.

Food ok but portion size and price not good would rather drive to the one at fingerpost

Great quality fish and chips served with a smile

Cannot beat those £2 chip cones.!!

we as a family love the chipmunk food cooked well service is second to none. and really important for me and my family is the crispy batter on the fish we love it. it might not be the cheapest chippy in the area but it is by far the best.

Lightly battered fish is wonderful. I always insist on going every time inn in st Helens most weeks. As they put loads of batter on fish where I live and I don't eat any but this better is very fine and melts in your mouth. Chips and mushy peas as expected. Takeaway

Photos of what go threw my mind when I bite into that fish mmmmmmh

Always enjoyed Chipmunk the fish have started growing again.When any business does well slowly the portion sizes start to diminish its human nature but people notice we are not stupid.Stay fair stay open simple.

Went here as it had a very good review on numerous websites. Extremely disappointed with the fish and chips we ordered and paid £15 for. The food was barely warm and the fish was black and full of bones. The chips were very greasy and tasted off. The food was not cooked properly.

Awful food, greasy and not cooked properly.

Nice chippy been around since i was a kid .. best chippy

Absolutely awful every chip was bad inside, like mush, cold and wet with due to the amount of grease. Expensive considering I’ve had to bin the lot, I wouldn’t serve that mess to my dog. The peas and gravy were being watered down with what I can only hope was freshly boiled water but even the kettle looked like it needed a good clean.

Always get great service when you eat in or take away

Good quality very clean. Quite small portions. Fairly expensive for a basic chippy.

I've used The Chipmunk several times and the fish especially are absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

Small portions for what you pay

Simply the best fish and chip shop going.I go there atleast twice a week.Qill not go any other.Been sourcing a few fish and chipshops so I've tried a few and I don't mind driving to get good food.Cant recommend enough.

Can’t believe how much it’s gone downhill. Whoever is cooking can’t cook because the Chips aren’t cooked. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve been in the past few months an just thought I’d give them benefit of doubt and go again. But it’s been every time I go, the chips are never ever cooked properly. It wasn’t worth paying for. I’ll never be going again and I’ve been going for 20 years. Soon as the man started there who cooks it went down hill.

Great chippy.. had mixed grill , it was large and lovely

This place is a joke..ordered a few meals for family..got horrible soggy chips,and got about 6 peas each on 3 of them,even the kids was upset with the 6 peas each..disgraceful..and tasted like..never mind...go to Cambridge road instead..better portions and more value for money...thank me later..

Looks nice and clean from be outside and on in the inside. Chips were see through and not cooked enough, fryer was battering the fish and wiping the batter off so it was only just coated, not enough and was undercooked also. Chicken bread was still frozen in the middle. My whole purchase was thrown in the bin and we went elsewhere. Much better in the area. I won’t be going here again I’m afraid.

Best chipmunk in the town. friendly staff and the best chips going. Love it ;-) AAA+++

One of the best chip shops around ..friendly staff
