Gibbs Chippy in Waveney

Absolute classic chippy, lovely staff and close to hotels and seaside. Let's you put on your own salt and vinegar.

Top TOP fish, chips & peas! Excellent in all respects - fresh, piping hot and served with a smile from super clean premises, outstanding!

Currently the best fish and chip shop in Lowestoft, no more needs to be said!

Last time I was in here was 60 years ago when I was at school.came past last Saturday I thought I give it a try glad I did.perfect cod and chips friendly staff will definitely go again

I had fish and chips this evening and it was very nice. cooked to order, the fish was lovely and fresh. Glad you got the website issue sorted out.

Brilliant chippy, never had a bad experience, really friendly staff, great value and most importantly quality grub!

I always rate Gibbs 5* and order here at least once a month. My partner and I always share a large chips and this is always a good portion between us two. We ordered our usual tonight and I actually laughed when I saw the chips… we had no more than a small handful each. I finished my chips before I’d eaten half of my fish! I hope this isn’t some sort of new portion control, because if it is I shall be going elsewhere from now!

Best in lowestoft. Full stop. Never ever had a bad experience

Excellent customer service and food time and time again. Best chippy we've found

the best and always has been!! Great taste and everything is fresh 👏

Best fish and chips in lowestoft hands down.

This is a must for fish and chips in Lowestoft. In business since 1949 and the BEST haddock and chips ever. Everything is super clean. The lady who served us is very pleasant and spotlessly attired. You won't be disappointed 🤗

Proper old style chippy with all the quality you'd hope for. Consistently excellent, cooked to order.

Well, we were displaying for armed forces day, were told how fab this place was and paid a visit. So glad I did!! We had whale and chips for 5 people..delicious!!! The staff were polite and attentive, thank you for filling our bellies, we will be back 😉 Gulf War Collection, armed forces day 2023 👍🐳🍟

Nice sausage and chips! Very friendly and you often get served very quickly! Recommended by me!

Been living here for 11 years first time we went here. Cod roe and chips and Cod and chips was absolutely lovely. Will definitely be coming back.

Fantastic scampi and chips at a great price. Highly recommend. We were recommended Gibbs by one of the owners of The Corner House and were not disappointed.

Lovely food and service, its obviously a family-friendly place with kind owners, the food was amazing

If you like fresh cooked traditional fish and chips then look no further. Consistently top quality and my choice as the best in town

If fish and chips is the so-called national dish, it is a shame that the quality on offer in many places is not better than this. It is the 'classic' British warm soggy chips and thickly battered fish. Heavy and greasy. There was a fish and chip restaurant nearby on London Road that was good but the management changed and the quality disappeared at the same time. The Thatched Cottage on Kirkley Cliff does a good fish and chips, by which we mean fresh chips and crispy batter. Perhaps a review of all fish and chip shops in Lowestoft is due. Given the history of the town one might have expected better but then, maybe not.

Really good fish and chips. At the higher end of price locally, but the selection is great. Takes card payments. There is parking opposite for 2 cars and street parking close by.

Colin the owner is a really nice and friendly person. He is great at what he does and how he treats you. Shame the woman who served me on 8/4 wasn't!! She is rude and yet again tight with her portions of chips. I'll avoid when she's on!!!

The fish is absolutely brilliant. The chips could be better but still very good.

Always come here when I'm back in town. The best!

Excellent fish and chips. Prob on par with my other favourite (chippy near Poole Park, Dorset). Thanks Mark

First time tonight using gibby fish and chips, and I wasn't disappointed lovely cooked cod, and for once, I didn't bin my chips, they were nice as well.will be going back again

I used this chippy the other day, because was unhappy with my regular one. I was impressed with the quality of the fish and the light batter was great 👍

Top Quality Fish and Chips 😋 friendly owner and staff 👍

fish and the chips were freshly cooked, and very tasty. I do think Gibbs' chippy is the best in Lowestoft. when I visit Lowestoft this is the chip shop I go to.

Delicious food and very friendly staff.It’s the only place to buy fish and chips to eat on the front overlooking the sea.

Awesome food colin is doing a fine job . Been using this ship sense i was a kid.

Great cod and chips, friendly service, perfect to take to the beach 👍

Fantastic Fish & Chips. Great service and good prices. Highly recommended

EXCELLENT CHIP SHOP HONESTLY THE BEST CHIPS IN ALL OF LOWESTOFT YARMOUTH AND CAISTER I DO ACTUALLY GO TO THIS CHIPPY IF I AM IN ANY OF THESE 3 AREAS OR ANY OTHER AREA NEAR LOWESTOFT BECAUSE THE CHIPS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OTHER I KNOW OF AND I KNOW MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEM IN LOWESTOFT YARMOUTH AND CAISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS ITS JUST A SHAME ITS NOT OPEN EVERY DAY

Best fish & chips in Lowestoft.

DELICIOUS FISH N CHIPS!!! Fresh fish in a yummy batter. We had plaice and haddock. Chips are nice too but room for improvement. Curry sauce could be better also. I had pineapple fritter here which ive never had before and it was surprisingly nice! Overall a very nice fish n chippy which you won't regret when eating on the beach. Also excellent price!!

My family and I come to this Chippy regularly and it's well worth the 17 mile drive from our house to get here! We have several chippys much closer to home but none of them can stand up to this one. The fish is always beautiful, fresh, and very large. The chip portions are also very large - so much so that my partner and I usually share a portion between us otherwise we would never be able to finish it! They're also extremely good value for money, especially taking into account portion sizes, and the staff are very friendly and efficient. I've been coming here for years and I have no plans to change my chippy! A real 'hidden in plain sight' treasure!

Friendly staff, very clean and best fish and chips around

Never go anywhere else. Delicious

Always delicious fish and chips from Gibbs Chippy as well as excellent service.

Excellent service and tasty chips ! 😋

Lovely piece of cod chips thanks gibbs

One of the best in the area, traditional style fish and chips

EXCELLENT food. The BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN LOWESTOFT.

My favourite chippy. Great service and top quality.

found Gibbs chippy to be so much better than 99% of the takeaways in town. Always polite,very clean and tastes good, what else do you need to know.

We do not live locally so came across this fish and chip shop by chance Huge portions great tasting fish and chips highly recommend

We moved up here in January 2019 and after trying other fish and chip shops we were recommended Gibbs and have been going ever since. We were really sad when due to the lockdown they had to temporarily close. But on the 19th of May Colin re-opened again and up to the time of me writing we have been there many times since, sometimes twice in a week. If you like Skate and Cod then this is the place to go as it is really good value as is all of the fish. We always ask for thin batter and crispy chips and Colin does them perfectly. All of the staff are friendly and always cleaning the front counter area. I hope we can go there for many more years!

Good food,, cooked to order. Helpful staff. Because food is cooked to order it can sometimes be a fair wait, but the food is worth waiting for.

Good for the area. Have had much better around the country but it would be a place to return to if I'm in the area as I know what to expect. Very cheap prices in commission though!

Fantastic fish and chips, freshly cooked and so tasty! Worth the trip from Northampton alone!

Fantastic fish and chips. Perfectly cooked . Tasted amazing. By far the best chippy in the town .

Perfectly cooked fish and chips. Nice staff and great value. Easily the best chip shop in the town .

Great fish and chips for a beach dinner. Service was quick and friendly, with card payment keeping it healthy

My favourite chippy. Best fish and chips around. Great friendly service, will not go anywhere else.

The best chippy in Lowestoft by far. Been a customer for years and years and always receive great service and quality food. Fish is always fried to perfection and I wouldn’t go anywhere else, especially for Skate!!

Awesome fish & chips best chippy in lowestoft always have a bit of banter with colin & sue

Gibbs along Carlton Road is my main stay Fish n Chip shop in Lowestoft. Have been going to Gibbs for over 30 years and seen the family generation of fryers continuing their family tradition. Personally the best Skate n Chips I know... Even my little girl, Amelia loves Gibbs and now enjoys a whole Skate herself....

Great fish and chips and friendly service.

Best chippy in Lowestoft , been in the Gibbs family for years

A wonderful traditional fish and chip shop run by a family that has been there for several generations and know there product.

English is my wife's second language , the staff were very god and patient making sure they get the order correct.The food and service was very good . Thank You

Great food but there is one person who gives orders slightly wrong

As a take away traditional fish and chip shop Gibbs is a bit of an institution. It has been passed on through generations. There is no doubt that its continued success is due to the quality of its food. In a world where fried chicken and kebabs and pissa seem to be taking over Gibbs holds it head up high and continues to provide first class food.

Our hosts at The Corner House suggested Gibbs to us. We were looking for a no friils "chippy" to takeaway & eat at the sea front. What a find & joy to find a proper traditional fish & chip shop, cooked to order & served by friendly owners & staff. We hail from Norwich & if you are visiting like we were, we can highly recommend.

Great fish chips and more. Could this be the best ever chippy? Staff friendly and accommodating. Great variety and did I say the chips are great?

Delicious food, friendly staff, always great service.

We pop to Lowestoft several times a year and always visit Gibbs. Yesterday we completed a 260 mile round trip on our motorbike just for a cod & chips lunch.... well worth every bum numbing mile 😁. Fabulous chippy!!

Lovely fish n chips are scrummy

Best fish & chips in Lowestoft, never dissapoint

I have been eating fish and chips at Gibbs for longer than I care to remember. The shop is always consistent, they cook the fish to order and the service is always friendly and efficient.

The best chippy around. Always friendly with great food, my family's favorite for over a decade now!

Excellent food and good service

Very nice. Fish was really nice the dog liked her bit too

Our ex neighbors came up for a couple of days. To save us cooking they suggested we have fish and chips at home. This is the 3rd time in a few weeks I have been here after a recommendation. We had Skate x 3 and 1 Haddock. I asked for thin batter and crispy chips. Everything was cooked to perfection as it was before. It will be my preferred chippy for the evening.

The best chippy in Lowestoft so far. I asked for thin batter and crispy chips and got both. We couldn't find fault with anything and I am looking forward to trying your large Skate when it becomes available! Robert

We recently moved to Oulton and were surprised that we couldn’t find a decent chippy until we were recommended Gibbs Chippy. The fish is nice and thick, big flakes, (ask for chunky fish) chips were good too. Been a few times now and always good food. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We have not long moved here and so googled chips shops this one came up and well for me and my family we think these are the best chips we have had in a very long time and we will keep going here as well.

We have not long moved here and found this little Jem.These chips are the best I have had for many years...

Friendly staff well priced. Large haddock is as described large. Batter really nice chips were slightly dry but tasty

food is lovely and staff so nice always friendly and helpful 😊

Found the fish very greasy, not normally like that though

Had a takeaway fish and chips in all the other fish and chip shops in Lowestoft ,thought would try this one , after noticing many poor ratings , but they are all right in there reviews un edible and chips served as they have been re cooked , the fish was greasy and tasteless , would not even recommend to my nightmare neighbours from hell

Great fish and chips, the owner knows how to batter a sausage😁

Probably the best chippy I've ever been to. Miss this place loads since I moved out of Lowestoft. Will always come back here of I'm pekish and in the area!

Best chippy in town by far, pleasant staff reasonably priced and good food we use it every time we are here

Best to go before the rush early evening as not so good when the shop is really busy. Staff really nice and the owner is a good cook but does get a bit rushed and it reflects in the quality of the cooked product.

Not sure what they cook it in but the battered Cod is the best I have ever had and it’s always cooked fresh. Sometimes very busy but well worth the wait.

me n my mum got kiddie cones today to eat outdide.. very lovely hot and fresh chips. will call again

These were the worst chips I’ve ever tried to eat. I’m a vegetarian and the chips tasted like they were fried with beef burgers or something, very disgusting. Won’t be trying here again.

The best fish and chips I have had from anywhere in years. Freshly made to order so a little waiting required but well worth the wait. Good value, large portions. Both fish and chips were very, very tasty. Crispy, flavoursome batter. Firm brown chips and fully cooked on the inside. Not the greasy, limp rubbish other places try to get away with calling chips. Highly recommended. I live 100 miles away and was just passing by. Disappointed that now I’ve been spoiled by quality, it’s going to be a very long time before I get anything as good as this again.

Colin is a lovely friendly guy, who along with his staff always offer a warm welcome. The range of food is good, reasonably priced and delicious.

Small but friendly gets busy but the foods worth the wait and good value

Went here saturday night and the staff were superb. The guy cooking the fish really friendly and he knows how to cook fish. The lady serving knew all about the history of the place and told us about it. She asked where we were going to eat our fish and chips and we said on the beach, so she wrapped our fish and chips up in a way that we could eat them out of the bag, superb service.

A Very friendly local Chippy with good Fresh fish and well fried chips and crispy batter the n the fish . And although I may have had tastier batter I can certainly say that they Truly are the Best Chips in North Suffolk/ South Norfolk ,.. and when you take in places such as Aldeburgh ,Southwold ,Wells next-the-Sea & Cromer Etc into account, this really is quite some compliment! Always served with a smile, I go out of my way to get my F&C's There.

Great fish and chips always cooked while you wait.One of the few chip shops to have rock salmon and cooked correctly.
