Chipwick in Worthing

Having been this restaurant many times, it never fails to please in terms of both quality and service. We always have top quality fish and chips and very friendly and obliging staff.

Have given them a low rating due to their overuse of onions, and serving vegetables that don't really go with fish...

Slightly higher price than my usual chippy. But you get what you pay for. Food is excellent. Freshly cooked (might seem obvious but my uncle had a chippy up north and he taught me how to spot a good chippy) and tell cooked. Chios could be a bit browner. That's my only criticism. SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING. Staff are Polite, presentable, professional and they genuinely look like they are proud to work here. Probably the best fish and chips I have had down south. And ooop norf we know our fish n chips. I come here on my way home from work once a week. I am the old grey biker that runs in hungry. Tried a few different things and it's all perfect. thank you Mr chipwick for doing a proper chippy.

Absolutely fuming went eat in we ordered and waited over 30 minutes to then see 2 lady's who came in 5 minutes after us get served and then 2 men who came in 15 minutes after us get served we went to pay for our drink what I had and we left without getting a reason for what had happened I have used the chipw Ick for years and years because there food is lovely but the service in the restaurant is terrible the last time we are in we had a young girl with attitude served us and I said to my Mrs not going there for a while and now this i suggest some training from whoever owns it because I don't want to go back and eat in ever again....so angry

My mussels came with a big bowl of chips and a slice of plain white buttered bread . The shells were plentiful but the mussels inside were tiny and often gritty . The chips were nicely cooked but tasteless as was the bread and the creamy sauce. My partners haddock appeared plentiful but was also deceptive as there was a lot of tail and batter. Overall looks better than it tastes.

I was down from London, staying in Worthing with my bestie for the weekend. We had a table booked for Sunday lunch. The staff and service were fabulous. The food, Fish and Chips and the additional trimmings was just delicious, the presentation amazing. The portion sizes are a fantastic added bonus. As soon as I arrive in Worthing, my friend books us a table purely because your restaurant is second to none! We are never disappointed. The food is so lovely I'm spoilt by it. There's no comparison in London! Extra compliments to head chef Jimmy. Congratulations on your food sir. Well done to the whole team. Thank you from Rose and Dee for our beautiful lunch. See you again soon!

Best fish and chips around for miles. Lovely fresh fish, really lite batter and very friendly staff providing excellent service. We love going here!

Brilliant- love the option to have grilled fish instead of battered/deep fried. Always good, cheerful staff

Excellent went for lunch with my Aunt service great very clean and fish and chips excellent golden brown loads of chips very impressed best fish and chips I’ve had for a very long time will definitely be using again and recommending

Great choice. Mid price fish n chips for a real restaurant feel. We came late for the last lunch sitting but weren't rushed. Grilled fish was divine. Batter on other fish was a light colour and the chips weren't small fries or chunky chips, something perfect in between with a really pale fry that tasted awesome. It strikes me now how the place didn't smell. Spoke to them lovely owner who I asked about the history of the place. Beloved to the grandparents so hopefully it'll get passed down the same way. Do give this place a visit. Worth a visit, fits in well with the community and employs run keen people happy to serve

Good food and reasonably well priced. Staff were friendly and courteous which made for a welcoming experience.

Very nice friendly, family run restaurant that has amazing quality food. I woud highly recomend either the standard fish and chips or one of the meals from the special menue. John

Every fresh and extremely tasty fish and chips and reasonably priced, couldn’t fault the food service and ambiance. The photo is the small portion.

My son had the House Burger and said it was the best burger he’s ever had. Chips were crispy and delicious 😋

Best fish and chips in Worthing

Lovely Fish & Chips tonight as always. The best for miles around.

Needs more comfortable seating as the tables are to high, and chairs to low, and I'm 6.3

Love this place. We travel to Worthing sometimes, for business, usually on a Thursday. We'd tried other Fish and chip shops nearby, which were disappointing. Chipwicks is in a league of it's own. Food is excellent, offering so much more than a regular fish and chip shop. The first time, I had Scallops with bacon, delicious. The menu is so different, never boring. Staff are just great, Chipwicks is still family run, and the staff all feel part of that family. Highly recommended

Outstanding fresh fish and chips but good other menu choices also available . Proper home made coleslaw. Desserts looked fantastic but we were too full to eat any. Traditional up market fish and chip shop

One of my favourite fish and chip shops on the south coast , great menu, loved the grilled fish options and the perfect takeaway or dinning in for a treat , fabulous staff and always very attentive.

Fantastic food and great service

Meh. 4pm. Rang to order, girl said she can't take orders over the phone, but they weren't busy, have to use website or app. Order online, register new account, first available collection in 40 mins time. Arrived on time, chap on counter was on the phone passionately selling the attributes of specific menu items. Establish who I am, eventually, no; I have not got my code as left phone in car, do I "have a surname" etc etc. Food not boxed and ready for collection, its now 4.44pm. They hurredly box items, out the door 4.50pm. Return home, cold chips, crispy thin left over bits really, not sure how long they were dwelling in the 'hot' cabinet before our collection. Tartare sauce lovely, fish was nice, sausages & saveloy large and satisfactory, volume of food was ok, bit punchy on price but isnt everything these days.... Certainly not "cooked to order" as the girl on phone had suggested. All pretty ordinary / mediocre for £30 to be honest!

Fantastic place to eat. They have done a great job making it welcoming and the staff were friendly and efficient. We will be back.

Very good fish 🐟 and chips service very good staff helpful and friendly clean facilities.

Chipwick have a new 'specials' menu, excellent, my best is the coconut cod, a great idea, fab flavors. It's all been redecorated, looks great. The staff are well trained, happy and helpful. Great venue. Well done! Love this place 💖

So the scallops were amazing, and the portion size excellent. The batter on the cod was crispy and thin, no stodge here at all. The cod itself was hot, done just right. But... the chips were good, but why ask if I want salt and vinegar on my chips if you're not going to put it on? I'd driven away with the takeaway, to find a good place to park and it was very disappointing not to have salted chips. The staff are bright and breezy, and very helpful. I will go back, because the food is so good, but I'll watch like a hawk for the salt and vinegar next time... Update: eat in, is the only thing I can say! The staff are brilliant, you get to put your own salt on, and the food is fabulous. I come here regularly now, that says it all. Best fish and chips in the county, hands down. And after a gap of six weeks I'm delighted to say their standard is maintained, still the best fish and chips in Sussex! Further update: maintaining its high standard, I'm pleased to say. Everything freshly cooked, batter is brilliant! Refurb is great, the menu is updated with some brilliant dishes of the day. Honestly, this place goes from strength to strength!

Was a lovely lunch today mince beef and onion pie chips and a curry sauce, would have been 5 stars but the curry sauce was way to sweet

Visited the Chipwick fish and chips restaurant on the 22/09/24 for a meal whilst on holiday. Met by extremely friendly staff member who gave us a table in the restaurant. Had regular Cod and Chips and the Thai fish cake and new potatoes, and the curry sauce. Arrived promptly and it looked amazing 🤩 Portions were plentiful and looked well presented. Both meals were very good. I did mention to a staff member that it was the best cod and chips I've ever eaten. The curry sauce was again some of the best. Fruity with a nice bite Had some desserts which were also spot on I would definitely return without any hesitation. Thoroughly recommend for the best fish and chips in Worthing 😋👍

we had takeaway, the chips were soggy and mushy. They had vegetarian sausages however they are cooked with the fish and meat sausages. So NO longer vegetarian the staff could understand what I was saying and kept saying but they are vegetarian sausages 🤦

The food and staff were more than fantastic, The best Fish and Chips in many years. The whole place was buzzing with a beautiful vibe. Well Done to all the staff and you all had beautiful smiles which made the place more welcoming.

We knew we just had to try the iconic Chipwick, and boy were we disappointed when we did... Because now no other fish and chips will ever compare!! Chipwick is an award winning chippy for a reason: a sensational menu, all cooked to perfection whether dining in or taking away, with a fantastic efficient and friendly staff to match. Picking up your fish and chips has never been such a rave! The atmosphere is a buzz as locals from towns over flood to this Worthing institution for an elevation of the nation's favourite. My favourite was the Thai Fish Cake; fatty, spicy, and fresh, this fishcake can take on some of the cuisine served in local Thai restaurants! The fish, chicken, brie bites and chips are all fried to perfection. I challenge anyone to find a better fish and chip shop in Worthing, Sussex, the South coast!!

I had the pleasure to both eat in and take away. I can confidently say this is the best fish and chips shop i have ever stepped in. The best thing is that the quality is consistently high. Even in a day when thye are not at the best, the quality is still better than any other fish and chips i ever had, and when it is at their best it is something just indescribable. The chips always have crunchi edges without being hard and are soft inside. The fish is always fresh (never smelled ammonia) and the batter is light and crisp. The oil used is always clean as you never smell that bad "old oil" sence. The food is perfectly fried, never soggy or oily. It is a blessing every time. I wish you all the best and thank you for being so amazing. Your food is like poetry. Then talking about the peole working here, they are always estremely polite, efficient and welcoming. Shout out to all the staff, you are as amazing as the food.

I would give the fish four/five stars, but the chips have been horrible the last four times we've had takeaway (we kept going back in the hope that it was a one off). They look lovely and crispy, but unfortunately they were crispy all the way through, which means they were just hard. I'm looking for another chip shop to use :(

Fish and chips is no common dish in Chipwick. Add a bottle of wine, and a sharing platter, and you have a great evening.

Quite expensive & have had better for less money

The crab was smoothered in mayo. It could easly been prawns blized

Went all the way from London to this amazing place. Once again the best fish and chips anywhere. Highly recommended it to all. Great value. Will be back soon

Had a wonderful meal on Saturday evening with my daughter and son in law. The fish and chips were amazing, the staff were lovely. Would 100% recommend

Best chips ever. Been coming here for years and have always loved it but somehow recently they did the impossible and got even better, how? No idea but blimey these are just the best. Five stars is not enough

Wonderful place. Wonderful food

My friends had come down from London for a day at the seaside. In the early evening we decided on fish and chips for dinner. I managed to book a table at short notice. Being a group of 7 I knew it was a risk as the place is very popular. The staff managed to work it out and fit us in. I was delighted! We felt welcomed and were sat at a booth inside the restaurant. The service was warm and welcoming we had 4 children with us and they were all catered for. The food was amazing. If you want a sit down fish and chips by the coast, this is the place to go. I had the cod and chips and fresh tartare sauce. The batter was light and crisp not at all greasy with creamy flaky cod fish on the inside and the double cooked chips were perfectly cooked crisp on outside and light and fluffy on the inside. We were all very impressed with the quality of the food and on clearing her plate, my 8 year old Daughter declared that the chips were better than McDonalds. Coming from her that was the best complement! I can’t wait to go back. It’s the best fish and chips. Thanks to all the staff there, you really made our day!

We live in Brighton and eat out a lot. However, for fish and chips and other offerings, I prefer to go to Chipwick. The food is excellent and so is the service.

What a find, quality and food special

Rated the best place for fish and chips in Sussex and I would have to agree the line caught cod was cooked to perfection and the chips were delicious and fluffy inside. The staff were amazing and friendly and the service was seriously appreciated.

We wasn’t happy with the amount of time we had to wait for our food, we ordered our food from the self service machine, which I would of thought would be a quicker option, but after numerous people coming and going who ordered at the till after us, my husband asked where our order was, to be told ‘it’s over there’ after waiting a further 5/10 minutes the chef called my husband over and sorted it out immediately, which was very kind of him, because sadly the young girl and guy behind the counter didn’t do anything to try and resolve the matter. We waited approximately 30 minutes.

Family-run fish and chips restaurant, everything freshly prepared, very large portions, everything delicious.

Phenomenal fish and chips, and I don't normally eat fish! Just sublime stuff, highly recommended.

This is a great fish and chip restaurant. The food was excellent with good, friendly service and a very calming atmosphere. It had been recommended to us by a local couple the night before and very well justified. We would certainly go back

Customer service was awful. Couple of young workers who didn’t pay any attention to orders. Uncooked fish with funny smell. Glad didn’t bring the kids around. 👎

Was in Worthing just and I had to visit The Original Chipwick because of it's reputation...and it didn't disappoint.The Sausage and chips I ordered as a takeaway were supurb.Great quality sausages,some of the best chip shop chips I've ever eaten and a lovely curry sauce..and all that for £10.50?..Great price.Add to that great stuff and wonderful service and you have one of the best fish and chippy's on the south coast.I will definitely be paying another visit here when I next come to Worthing.

This evening we had a takeaway: Whitebait, calamary, reg chips, reg haddock, tartare sauce, thai fish cake. £39 of order. We were very happy to be back and using Chipwick, as we leave not too far. Haddock, whitebait and tartare sauce fresh. I’m sure even the other two items were fresh as well. Too fresh that the fishcake was raw inside: homemade for sure but just a fish+mash potatoes patty big like an adult hand and uncooked. The calamari were way too much oily that to try to eat it we started to take out the coating. I’m sure the young chef was feeling the pressure of a 7pm rush (5 orders before us) but this is not a justification for cooking a raw dish and one that is too oily. Maybe the oil wasn't ready or some new oil had been added to the fryer? You don't expect this service from an award-winning restaurant. When called, the staff was kind when they offered us to prepare another portion of fishcake, which we refused only to avoid going out in the rain to get it. Another complaint is that the female staff at the till should have their hair tied up, not touch it in front of customers and then prepare food without washing their hands. It is not a good practice in a food area!!! Chipwick as a restaurant has not lost us as customers (the fish is always fresh not frozen!) but we hope, next time, to find all the food at the best standards that have characterized this place all these years.

First it's open on a Sunday, it's very clean and we were greeted by very friendly staff. Our food was cooked fresh and we had a very tasty cod and chips. Complimentary cutlery and a short 30 second walk to eat on the beach. Great all rounder!

Beautiful meal but the onion rings are half homemade proper onion other half are frozen onion flavour which was not expected in a lovely place like this.

Used to love this place but last 3 orders from here have been well below average and they are far from cheap. Soggy bland chips and the fish is just a bit damp with minimal batter and almost no crispy batter. Really underwhelming. Will not go back again.

Great food, fast service even though it was a busy evening, friendly and very welcoming staff. Well worth the drive from London, definitely will be back again.

Pop down there most Tuesdays with a few mates on our motorcycles. Food is consistently good and staff always polite and friendly. Popped down yesterday 26th and because of the exceptionally good weather it was mega busy but the staff were their usual pleasant selves.

Love this place, local to us for first class fish and chips. Haven't eaten in the restaurant for a while but when we get take away the food is always freshly cooked and of a good standard and when there is a problem, they quickly rectify it!

Went there last weekend with visitors from America. Place was heaving but despite there being 9 of us we were all served at the same time. Great food. Great service. Wish I didn’t live so far away.

Amazing fish n chips. Have had takeaway as well as eat in here over the years. Chips are second to none, fish is brilliant and staff are well trained. When will you open one in Eastbourne! :)

Large portions Always very popular and busy Friendly staff

Come here regularly but the chips are expensive and lately very hard and dry,and like they're not overcooked couldn't do eat most of them!and shame as they used to be the best 😞

Food was delicious and speed of service excellent but the attitude of customer service was very poor unfortunately and let the place down.

Great batter and nice chips. Well presented with a smart paper carrier bag to take it away in.

Terrible logistics on a Friday evening. 50-60 orders backlogged, 40 minutes wait for 1x cod and chips. Plenty of food behind counter waiting to be served but staff seemed to serve orders sequentially, waiting on single items from chefs

They ran out of something so from walking in and leaving took 35minutes. But, the food was delicious.

Visited here on a year 2 school trip, 24 of us in total. Staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and hot. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Gorgeous chips 🍟 Brilliant service

Good place. Fish and chips were good. Would go back.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff.

As usual Awesome fish and chips, the best there is. Bar none👍👍👍

This is our go to fish and chip shop when visiting Worthing. We ordered a take away and sat on the beach behind the restaurant. Service was friendly and helpful, the wait for the food was acceptable, with plenty of seats outside while we waited. The food was perfect, in fact the best fish and chips I’ve eaten in ever!

Absolutely amazing food, it can't. Be beaten well worth the money coming back next Sunday!!!

Food is delicious and always fresh, it is the best fish and chip shop!

Best fish and chips and nice staff

Always get a takeaway from here when in Worthing - as usual food was hot fresh and tasty- I would suggest a larger portion of mushy peas and should be a little runnier they were a tad dry for my liking but overall great food . Two cod one lg chips and mushy peas just over £24

Delicious dinner recently. The restaurant is looking fab following it's recent refurb. Staff very helpful, as always. The tartare sauce is outstanding. Beware, a Large is XXL! And comes with a mountain of chips. Not for the faint hearted! For those who prefer a burger, Chipwick's won't disappoint!

Fantastic fish and chips, lovely light batter and a generous portion. We also had one of their home made puddings, sticky toffee and apple and banoffee pie, both completely yummy. Lovely atmosphere too, definitely need to book and will be going again.

Probably the best chippie in Worthing. Both a traditional takeaway chippie and a restaurant. The restaurant is nice with good service, but I actually prefer to takeaway some if their gorgeous chips and a bit of fish or a battered sausage and walk 2 minutes round the corner and sit by the beach.

Always amazing food. Try the Seafood Sharer. Sublime!

Lovely food, great service, very family friendly, had highchairs and a baby change, and a good value kids menu! Will return!

Had takeaway fish and chips today,probably the worst I've ever had.

What an amazing lunch; worth every minute of the drive from London. I'm glad we booked in advance, as the place did get busy in the afternoon. Service was impeccable and friendly; the kitchen was spotless; and the food was scrumptious. As Arnold Schwarzenegger once famously said, "I'll be back". 😄☀️

Fish chips, a side of shandy eaten on the beach front 2 minutes away. Was great.

Food is excellent, reasonably priced for the quality

Lovely food, nice vibe. The owners take care of their restaurant which is a bonus.

Absolutely banging fish and chips!

Chips were dry, asked for onion vinegar and salt and got malt vinegar and salt, although hardly any on it. Won't be going again any time soon

Decided to have dinner at Chipwicks Award Winning fish and chips. Food was fantastic and the staff looked after us superbly. My large cod and chips were superb, as was my wife's grilled cod and chips. Definitely recommend, and we will definitely be returning ☺️

We had family down from Cornwall and decided to have fish and chips to save cooking. We have used Chipwicks in the past and always been very satisfied. Unfortunately this time the batter was soggy and greasy and the chips were not much better. After spending over £50 it was very disappointing to have to waste so much.

Hands down the best fish and chips in the area. Recently redecorated, looks like a lot spent on new cooking equipment. The cod and chips could not be improved. Nice tables and chairs, bar available for those dining. Service always excellent and friendly servers. Recommend booking, Fridays are especially busy.

Wow wow wow unbelievable fish and chips, one of the best we have ever eaten, beautifully presented, absolutely delicious and great value

Decided to have dinner at the refurbished Chipwicks. Booked a table for 2 easily. All the staff were great and looked after us superbly. I had a large line caught cod and chips with mushy peas, and my wife had regular grilled cod and chips with tartar sauce. We had a drink each. My fish was to die for, and the chips were so scrummy. The batter was so tasty. To be honest, my large meal was too big for me. My only grumble is, I'd like a choice of bread as I prefer brown. Otherwise, I can't recommend highly enough and will definitely be going back. It wasn't cheap, but we felt it was totally worth it .

On a mission to pick up a birthday present for my partner I decided to make the most of a winter day by the seaside. I had a perch seat facing the road and as a first time visitor I'm not sure if you can get a sea view but the welcome was warm, the beer was local, the food was great so it was a good place to be that day.

This is hands down my favourite chip shop in the UK. Service is incredible, food is delicious. I absolutely recommend visiting.

Had a beautiful meal here. Traditional cod and chips which were generous in size and a special from the menu, bouillabaisse, which was spurs, full of seafood in a rich tomato and rustic vegetable sauce. Again really generous in portion size.

We eat out a lot, but both agreed this was the best food we had eaten for as long as we could remember (including a couple of very expensive recent meals). One of us had traditional cod, chips and mushy peas while the other had the special that was baked cod, coconut potatoes and chorizo with broccoli. The first you might expect to be perfect, but the special consisted of soft flakey cod, new potatoes that tasted as if they were fresh from the ground, cooked to perfection, and broccoli that was equally perfectly prepared and melted in the mouth. Great Picpoul too from the wine list. Superb friendly service and the bill was less than we thought it would be. A good reason to go back to Worthing soon!

The chips were not crispy enough! Battered sausage was nice, I love a battered sausage!

Visited here this week and asked for a smaller portion. I was informed by a female waitress that I could have the OAP lunch special even though I wasn't an OAP. I thought this sounded perfect. I was informed that it would be a smaller portion (and it was). I think it was £12.95. I was then charged for mushy peas and a cup of tea on top of that which brought my total lunch to a cost of more than the normal (big)lunch special which is £15.95 and includes the mushy peas and tea. So for having a much smaller portion of fish and chips, I ended up paying more than had I just ordered the normal lunch special. This seemed completely wrong and I think that the OAPs around me probably got their fish and chips, mushy peas and tea for £12.95 all in. So I wasn't happy at all and should have said something at the time - I think the waitress knew what she had done. So yes, the food was tasty - its certainly not a cheap lunch and I do think the portions could be better sized for those that don't want a colossal amount.

Lovely food, great service, not too expensive.

Great fresh cooked fish and chips. Great sevice. Recently refurbished and looks fresher than ever. Still value for 💰
