Diggle Chippy in Oldham

Most disappointed, was looking forward to this but alas mediocre fish & chips. The proprietor was using veg oil for the frying, he seemed to be catering for the veggie crowd rather than people who prefer taste. Sorry but most over hyped fishy visited in a long time.

Having just moved back north after 30 years in London I was looking for a local fish and chip shop that reminded me of my childhood fish supers. Diggle Chippy only a short drive from my our new place so checked this out today and it's made my move complete!!!! Fantastic owners, friendly and knowledgeable, made you feel really welcome. And the fish and chips???? Cooked fresh while you wait and tasted absolutely fantastic. Amongst the best fish and chips i've ever had, and as a northerner, believe me, i've had a lot of fish and chips in my time. Do NOT miss this place. Will become my weekly treat.

Fantastic fish and chips here. Freshly cooked. They have a selection of cakes and brews for afters. FIRST CLASS

We love Diggle Chippy. After a long walk there is nothing better than calling into this fabulous little place. The friendliest staff and top quality food. Everything is freshly cooked, crispy and tasty.

Had fish and potato scallops my partner had fish chips they were absolutely delicious not greasy at all full of flavour just as you would expect the staff are absolutely excellent

We visited Diggle chippy while in the area on honeymoon. The owners were so friendly and the food was amazing! We would highly recommend this to anyone. We will definitely be visiting again if we're back in the area, thank you! :)

Fish and chips are exceptional in being fresh , sizeable and aesthetically pleasing. Clearly worth a visit

Just been with my son. Great system going now. Small queue to order. Then pick your food up at the side door. Always very friendly smiley staff. Great food too. Best chippy for miles. and the food is always ht and fresh. Be back soon.

Bought fish and chips last night to take home to our family.The meal was superb, the fish quality was outstanding.Thank you. Also excellent queueing system with complementary umbrellas.

A very friendly service with a well organised system with high hygiene standards and social distancing clearly observed. Fish and chips are delicious - just like you remember fish and chips used to be.

started going here again last year first time since 2000 fish and chips so great great staff best chippy in saddleworth by a mile at the moment you queue up outside 1 in 1 out order inside and pay wait out side for order at other door be prepared for a queue on Fridays over 20 waiting last night but well worth the wait Rachel and steve are the best started going every week now again

Have just had the best Fish &Chips and mushy peas ..ever! Phoned through the order. Friendly, efficient staff. Fresh, crispy fish and chips. Not at all greasy. Don’t have a chippy tea often but when we do DIGGLE CHIPPY is the best by far- reminds me of the original Harry Ramsden’s in Otley when I was a child. Fabulous- thanks DC for a yummy tea.

Ok but not impressed soggy batter on fish and chips chewy may have just been a bad night. Maybe give it another go in a few months

Moved nearby recently and love the fish and chips. Just remember to order your fish on entry as it’s freshly cooked. Always friendly and happy to chat while you wait.

They are quite happy to serve dried-up, bitty chips. Too late when got home-otherwise would have given them back to them. Seemingly interested in volume not quality.

I have been to this chip shop several times over the years and I have to say it's food quality is steadily declining. Over the last year I have had three slices of homemade cheese and onion pie, each one has been disgusting. Pale pastry which is raw and uncooked underneath. The filling is tasteless and bland with chewy cheese and had specks of black inside it, which was not pepper. The recent purchase of rag pudding had cold meat in the middle and again the pastry was raw in the folds of the pudding. Completely off putting and unacceptable. More effort is required on your homemade produce. If your business is as simple as making traditional food you should be able to be a master of it without getting it so wrong.

Simply the best! So many chippies fail the simple task of properly cooking chips. Not this chippy - they are the best I've ever tasted. Go every week and honestly I'd have my Christmas Dinner there if they were open!

This place always seems to be open at just the right moment and although the times of opening are quite normal, I have found the place to be up and cooking earlier than stated. The area is renown for walkers and dog walkers and although the local pub is not up to much this little gem is worth dropping into for a portion of chips and a home made rag pudding ... Always perfect chips always friendly staff and seemingly always open .... What more could you ask for

Beautiful food, lovely welcoming staff, all around great service! Would recommend the homemade plate pies, they are beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips!, the mushy peas, to die for. The best part was the portion sizes, the do not fail to amuse you.I do have to admit the queue was long but i can not mark it down for this as there is nothing i they can do.A lot of respect for there efforts in the community too as a companyNo other chippy

Sausage meal deal is great value. Sausage, chips, curry/gravy with a can of pop and a buttered muffin. All for less than a fiver. Fantastic. Home made pies are top drawer too! I live too close to this place now for it to be good for my waistline

Been to diggle chippy today and had the best fish, chips and peas that I've had in a long time, the price is very reasonable and the fish are cooked as you wait. Very good service and friendly chat

I’m very particular about Fish & Chips and I’ve been looking for decent twice cooked traditional chips for what seems like forever. THIS IS THE PLACE!

Just awful. warmed up chips, fish overcooked. This was when it opened at tea time. All I can think is it is warmed up from lunch time. I will not be going back any time soon.

The fish and chips were lovely and well presented to take home. Helpful, chatty staff, a pleasure to visit.

People come from all over Saddleworth to the Diggle chippy because they serve the best fish and chips.

Great little chippy with very friendly staff. Good portion sizes for the money and nice batter and gravy. I would suggest though that if your coming from afar to check the facebook page and give them a message to ask their opening times for the week just so that you don't have a wasted journey.

Steve and Rachael have a fabulous little chip shop here. The fish is freshly cooked to order and both the aforementioned owners and the staff are chatty and always friendly.

A lovely family run little chippy(Without a silly name) My wife moved to Southampton several years ago and she always complains that chippy's "down south" don't know how to do "proper" gravy. Diggle chippy does lovely cook to order food, would highly recommend.

The Diggle Chippy is a classic British food outlet serving wonderfully cooked fish and chips and pies etc It's best to book even for the takeaway (There is only takeaway!) as it is hugely popular and can run out!

Best fish and chips in the area! We all love the curry sauce as well. We buy these fish and chips almost every week.

Opposite The Gate Inn.Beautifully served Fish&Chips.Open; in their hours of opening time??.Needs checking??.

First class fish and chips and the staff are very friendly. We travel up on Friday for our tea.highly recommend you visit this traditional chippy.

The title says it all, a very good chippy. Thin crispy batter, well cooked firm and crispy chips, well cooked fish and proper mushy peas (I.e. not too sloppy or radioactive green). Bit of a queue at lunch but the food is well worth the wait.

We try & combine our chippy tea with a walk round the pond & canal to walk it off! Absolutely gorgeous. Friendly staff & the queue soon goes down. I had fish, chips & curry sauce with loads of salt & vinegar!

No siendo de esta zona estábamos deseando un té preparado de esta pintorescos poco "fish and chips". El pescado estaba bien, con una buena masa de luz, las patatas fritas estaban bien, pero nada especial.

Old Fashioned cooking how a chippy should be, kind courteous staff and management, not a rip off chippy, its proper fish and crispy batter. Best to eat straight away don't try and get the fish home you will ruin it, get a fork and dig in.

The Staff & Quality of fresh food are superb, It's a must ! I go twice weekly & you'll be glad you went to taste the vey best Fish & Chips etc.

No been for a few months. Had fish chips and peas . Still superb and the best chippy by far in the area. Good food, clean premises with Fish cooked to order. excellent quality

The chips are the best around, fish is lovely and the staff are nice and friendly - fantastic chippy

I love just up the road from Diggle chippy and have to say it's one of the best I know!! I will be moving soon but will definitely be coming back to have a cheeky fish and chips I recommend this to to anyone. Keep up the good work just friendly people to that own it!!

Had this 3 weeks running now on a Tuesday and have to say lovely.Seems that they've upped their game as it's much better now than on a few previous visits reported.Roll on next Tuesday!

Great traditional chip shop with homemade pies. Fish is always cooked to order.Started doing breakfasts which are also good. Best chipy in Saddleworth.

awesome fish and chips ... or even a rag pudding ... the taste of their little golden bars of energy really do give you wings .... fresh chips +fresh fish = refreshing change and on very happy daddy bear ...

My favourite chippy in the local area! The chips are always nice and crispy which sets it apart from most others. Highly recommended

Depends when you go as to how good this place is. Go early tea then you get overcooked warmed up leftovers from dinner time. Reckon 7-7.30pm is best. Friday tea times aren't so bad as its busy then and you get the throughput. Fish can be a bit hit and miss. Usually fresh but now and again smells like an old tramps trousers. Best around though, but not like they do in Yorkshire.

Breakfast/lunch/dinner! All tried and all excellent. Small but perfectly adequate! Batter is excellent as is the fish contained within

This is my local chippy and I rate it very highly. Most everything is cooked to order and it's very good and reasonably priced

We really enjoyed the fish and chips. Nice thick white fish with crispy batter. Location nice too. You may be fortunate to eat them on the bench next to the river

We have two chippies in our village, but we ALWAYS make the special journey to Diggle Chippy because it's just SOOOOOO much nicer!Their rag puddings are gorgeous with lashings of gravy :-)

I arrived after closing time, freezing cold and exhaustedon my bicycle en route to Manchester from Huddersfield along the canal. They stayed open, gave me hot, sweet tea and cheese pie and chips. It was a pleasure to experience their good humour and kindness... and the pie and chips were fabulous. Can't thank or recommend them enough!

Great traditional chip shop. Fabulous food with the friendliest of owners. Located in one of the nicest villages in the north west

I go to Diggle Chippy on a regular basis to pick up my grandparents chippy. Best fish and chips around Saddleworth and the staff are lovely.

Called into the Gate Hotel across the road for a drink and lunch but after waiting about 15 minutes for someone to appear behind the bar we went across the road to the Diggle Chippy and had fish and chips to go. They were really good and we ate them in the country park near by which made them taste even better. I believe that the wooden shack is a listed building , it looks really old and interesting anyway !Give it a try if you are passing , I am sure that you will love it !

Excellent food, cooked fresh to order and lovely people who run it. Very friendly service and nothing is too much trouble.

Always call here for our chippy tea, we actually live in another village with a chip shop but would rather come to Diggle chippy. The staff are friendly, the fish and chips are excellent. Never had a bad meal. Keep up the good work.

Called in and found the best fish and chips ever. I was looking for a pub grub type of thing but was very pleased with fish and chips with a can eaten in the back of the car, Thanks

This is a proper chippy, took me back to when apprentices went out for dinners, was upset to only eat once a day, ( BRILLIANT)

I often visit Diggle Chippy whilst walking in the Saddleworth area, the Fish & Chips are excellent much better than home cooked.The staff are always welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic golden brown chips english gravy with home made cheese and onion pie.A great traditional chippy that won't be beaten by others for miles around. A must for great chip lovers walkers and visitors to the area.

Started opening for breakfasts last year and nice sausage muffins (£1.50) and toast + tea. Tried the chips + curry a while back which was OK.

Best chippy for miles, Saddleworth best dine out . Food brilliant, staff so friendly, great fish and rag puddings. Visit when you can!

people travel to this chippy from miles around for the freshly made fish which is excellentopening times are limited as I think it only open till 7.30 pm

We visit Diggle chippy quite a number of times from our flats very good fish & chips value for money now started doing breakfast i would this a five star award

Fantastic chippy but we don't go as often as we used to as they don't offer as much variety as other chippies near by. They need to add chips and cheese!We drive past here at least 5 times a week and would go in at least once a week if their menu was expanded!

Had a shaky period around 10 years ago, but now offers consistently good food. One of a diminishing number of chippies to offer rag pudding. Charming little shack at the side of the road opposite The a Hanging Gate.

Worth travelling to for fish and chips!They close quite early ( in my opinion!) so make sure you arrive with enough time and don't miss out! There is a pond and the canal path just behind to walk off the chips after ;)

This is a really good, old-fashioned Northern chippy. It's in a tiny little hut in the centre of Diggle village and the queue is usually outside the door (not that it takes much of a queue to fill it). The staff are friendly and efficient and the fish and chips and mushy peas and rag puddings are all excellent. I haven't tried anything else, but there's the usual array of sausages, potato scollops, curry sauce that are typical of northern chip shops

I arrived exhausted and hungry as they had just closed after their dinner service . . . they sold me chips and cheese pie and made me a huge cup of tea because I was so cold. So kind.

In Blackpool afew days ago and had fish & chips in top restaurant advertised in Lancashire life Give me diggle chippy any day we live in SADDLEWORTH and drive past 3 chippies to sample the great produce Keep up the good work

We go fairly regularly to Diggle Chippy and in the past have never been disappointed. However, it's usually earlier in the evening. Last night we decided to call in on the way home, around 6.30pm so well before closing time, and bought some fish & chips. Unfortunately the chips were barely warm and not the usual portion size and the fish was pretty small as well. The fish, though freshly cooked hadn't been drained so it was soggy and swimming in grease when unwrapped. I don't know what happened last night as they're usually the best in the area but I hope they aren't going the way of other chippy's and start giving mean, greasy, cold portions.

We love coming to diggle chippy, everything is cooked to order and all the food is fresh. The portion sizes are good compared to other chip shops. The fish is the best in the area we wouldn't go anywhere else.

My son won't eat any other chippy chips. Best chippy around! Well done Rachel and Steve - always first class

It's best to go early as there are always queues out of the door. Fish is always cooked to order and the chips are nice and crispy.

Only bought chips, they were cooked, non greasy, tasty and a good price. Fish looked very nice and judging by the fish orders coming in from the queue it is good. Will visit again. Canal up side road, with duck pond up there also.nice places to sit and eat. Grandpa Greene's ice cream on canal bank so afters sorted too!

Ate here with some friends whilst passing through. The staff were nice and friendly and the fish and chips were spot on. I shall make a detour this way again.

It's only a small wooden shack but they produce outstanding Fish & Chips. Usually cooked to order so the fish is perfectly cooked with crispy batter. We have to drive around 7 miles to get there and we just eat in the car or outside on a sunny teatime.The staff are friendly and welcoming.Simply perfection and just what a traditional English Chippy should be!!!!

staff very friendly and food is brilliant i recommend buy your food then walk to the pond to eat it not forgetting to get bread to feed the ducks ,brilliant

Rag pudding, chips & gravy, with a Special on the side has been a favourite meal of mine for many years. Nowhere else makes them quite like it. Went her recently for my daughters birthday tea and we all loved it as usual. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming too.A superb little chippy!

Diggle chippy just has to be the best ! its quite a drive out for us but worth it when u get there, its one of those blink and you mist it kind of place, to me it reminds me of a quaint garden shed !!! all the food is superb and i look forward to my next rag pudding

I have used this chippy on a fairly regular basis. Tonight I had the door slammed in my face, about 8 minutes to closing time, and all I wanted was a rag puddin they microwave, and a couple of "specials" they re heat.......

We have been to this chippy many times. Each time we have really enjoyed out meal. It does smaller meals for people with poor appetites and it is spotlessly clean. The staff are very friendly.

Great service from really hard working staff. Fish cooked to order. Good portions. This is a treat in midweek for us.Opening times are good too.

A must for fish and chip people ....... Shout your orders for fish as you enter..... Thas won't be disappointed with tha food. Best northern chippy for milesWorth the trek ........ Check opening times. And be ware it's so popular they do sometimes sell out of fish. So get there early and join the queue ........... Staff are amazing. Food is awesome. Spot on chippppppyyyyyyy

To say it looks like a shed, the expectations were low, but oh my!The best fish I have had from a chippy ever, it was fresh and fried fresh, the chips were not greasy at all and everything was amazing. great standard chippy prices and the ladies in there are so funny and friendly!Would go back again.

Absolutely gorgeous fish and chips and the staff couldn't be more friendly a lovely little place with fantastic food. Great!!

Really friendly and a real asset to Saddleworth - recommended. By far the best range and tasting Fish and Chips I have ever had. They have a full range of Fish, Fish cakes, Pies, Puddings, Specials, Chips and sauces. Order Fish when the owner asks (usually when you enter the door) and it's made fresh for you. While you wait you can take a look at the old photos of Diggle's history. Top Marks!I had fish and really think it's the best I have tasted. Well done Diggle Chippy! There can sometimes be a queue, esp on Friday nights, but that's to be expected when you have great food and meet up with the locals.They could perhaps open on Saturday evenings, however there's not much more to add.

All freshly cooked and reasonably pricedEven do kids meals with drinks and a lollipop!What more could you ask for

These were fish and chips to die for. The best I've tasted for a long time. Keep up the good work guys. KATIE

Called in whilst passing on business tonight after seeing the chippy on here.Fantastic pies I can only assume homemaid. The chips were nice and not greasy but there were a lot of small crispy bits which personally don't do it for me.

Love this chippy it's the best in Saddleworth as simple as that.......though I have to write 50 characters so I'll say that even though slightly dubious of a little wooden hut I got told of the amazing Diggle chippy so went. The only time I will go to another is if that one is closed :)

Stayed on a local farm, and was drawn to this chippy by the quaintness of the building - Loved the friendliness of the staff and locals as soon as we walked in and the food was perfection.

I've been going to Diggle chippy for ages and It's the best in Saddleworth. The owners are friendly and the ladies who serve are fantastic and the chips are brilliant. However, on the last two ocassions my order has been incomplete by the the ladies forgetting the gravy I asked for and was charged for. A little oversight but annoying when you get home. It hasn't put me off but the next time I will make sure my gravy is on my meal cos "northern boys love gravy".

Diggle chippy is superb. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is top notch. Highly recommended.

what can i say about this chippy the staff are great always friendly and the potions would over whelm the most hearty eater,having said that i have gone miles out off my way when out and about on business , to go and have my take away lunch from here.

If you don't mind standing outside in the rain (the place is tiny) you will get the best fish and chips not only in Saddleworth but as good as you'll find anywhere.

very busy, friendly staff who always take the time to talk to you if you want them to. Lovely fresh food and good sized portions

Great local traditional chippy, fully recommend! The staff are all friendly and nice. Pretty good opening hours through the week!

This is the best chippy in Saddleworth - consistently good and all food cooked freshly for you.

Good Value, good portions, properly cooked chips and crispy batter
