Green Lane Fish and Chip Restaurant in Wigan

Always great food and friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended...

Great chippy, food tastes like a proper English chippy should. Great friendly service with a smile. If your in the area definitely worth a visit. 5 stars all round

NOTE: they edited my Facebook review to say it is recommended so do not trust the 4.6 star review as it uses Facebook to measure this shocking. used to go here regularly for a bit of something on a Friday night and it was amazing. dont know if the management has changed or what but the prices have soared and it wouldn't take a blind baby to tell you that costs are being cut at every corner. bones in the fish. flimsy trays. hair in the food. £7 for a rag pudding, small chips and gravy when i can go anywhere else and get something far better for the same cost. they seem to have added the restaurant and had an ego boost that puts kanye west to shame. my parents are refusing to go back after we ordered a meal for the 5 of us and were left with poor quality food, hairs and trays that barely made the 5 minute drive home for a shameful £30. either we were overcharged (wouldnt be the first time) or theyve gone mad. if you value your money, go somewhere else. (penny place is better quality for the price, kirkall lane is better for value, great chippy but not best for vegetarians and any weatherspoons or pub would give you a nice night out and probably not be much different in terms of price)

I anticipated that this traditional chippy would be good, yet it exceeded my expectations significantly. The food was excellent. The chips were tender on the inside and encased in a crisp exterior. The fish was exceptional and a generous portion. I felt compelled to sample the pea fritter and rag pudding, which I'll have again. The staff were friendly and engaged in conversation. The chippy presented itself as clean, orderly, and spacious, offering seating for those who might prefer dining in over take-away. Additionally, a modest car park is situated adjacent to the chippy.

Best fish and chips I've had for years

This is one of those gems you discover and just cannot believe your luck. The place is amazing and the quality of the food was outstanding. They offer an amazing selection of gluten free food as well and if you have a gluten intolerance you won’t be disappointed. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and kind making you feel right at home. The food is amazing and the choice is fantastic.

By now most places have removed the "COVID 19" screens from their counters, but not at Green Lane Chippy. As a result it seems at least one of the staff has trouble hearing the orders, especially when traffic noise is factored in. We use this place a fair bit both the restaurant and takeaway sections but this time the dark haired female member of staff in the takeaway was rude, ignorant and grumpy. As my old Gran would say "put your face straight". Fish and chips as good as ever - hence the 4* star review - not 5* though due to the grumpiness on this occasion.

The mega size fish and chip is delicious. You can have a perfect and full lunch here

The staff was absolutely amazing 🤩 so was the food delicious 🤤 and very fast service 🙌

Always superb, fresh and piping hot. Service is fast, and the queue out the door tells you everything you need to know. The fish here is to die for!

Brilliant food amazing x they are a chippy sand cafe also serve alcohol. X

one of my fav place under Leigh post code. all dishes are large portion and teasty.

Friend picked up my order, very tasty food

Just had the ‘Fish and Chips Special’ which was delicious. Best peas ever! Tea or coffee is included with the meal, value for money! Comfortable environment and clean toilets. I’ll definitely come again

Finally got to visit Green Lane Chippy after many recommendations. Didn't disappoint. Food was excellent, staff were friendly and we felt it was great value. Small fish, chips and peas, a regular fish, chips and peas, an extra side of gravy plus bread and butter and a drink each for £26 and change. Will definitely be returning.

The food is nice to be honest but the tables are that squashed together you can barely get in & out of your chair. Bit of a clique in there, if you're not a regular don't expect to be spoken to. The floor is like a skating rink, greasy as hell so watch your step.

What a fantastic experience- thank you Paul and staff / excell ent !! Thank you Paul 😊 and Michelle Definitely you go the extra mile Friendly, compassionate lovely staff

Excellent little chippy, very friendly staff. Food fantastic

Had another amazing meal here - owner is so friendly and helpful to everyone. You can see how all the customers love him. Always brilliant. Food lovely, staff wonderful, never disappoints, really good chips

Love this place .. food always excellent

What happened? The customer service in this place has gone downhill massively! I used to come here almost every week. The past few times however, have just been one bad experience after another. Rude staff, always seem to have a chip on their shoulder, they make you feel like you're an annoyance just by simply ordering food. No manners, no thank you, no goodbye, it's like they can't wait to get rid of you! I'm not usually one to leave bad reviews, but I've had enough now, I live locally and was probably one of the most regular customers, but now I feel I should just go somewhere else in future when I fancy a 'chippy'. A few months back I came to get my usual grab and go chips for my dinner. My partner was home so I thought I'd bring her back a surprise treat. She's vegan, so I asked if they sold vegan pies. A yes or no answer would've been fine. But no. I was told by one of the men who works there something along the lines of "yeah, but they take about ten minutes", to which I said I'd be happy to wait, but their response was "you wanna wait ten minutes?", said in an irritated tone. I was then told by another man at the till "vegan pies cost £££ by the way." I can't remember the price I was told, but he was clearly trying to talk me out of buying a vegan pie for my partner. In the end I just ended up asking for another portion of chips, told the man at the till I'll just not have the pie if it's an issue. I don't understand how a paying customer could be treated with so much disrespect? I get the whole veganism thing is alien to most people, but if vegan food is something that is avaliable, then why scoff and make paying customers feel stupid for ordering it? Especially when the customer is happy to wait patiently if it is cooked to order? I work in the food and hospitality industry myself, and I can honestly say that my restaurant would never treat customers this way! There's no excuse! The two men who tried to talk me out of ordering the pie were obviously in a managerial role. I suppose they've never heard of the term 'lead by example', the poor staff have terrible role models to look up to, no wonder the majority of them are miserable most of the time, I feel sorry for them, knowing the managers running the place have no respect for their customers; I can't imagine they treat their staff very well either. If you can be bothered to read this Green Lane Chippy, take note, because you've lost a whole family of loyal, regular customers, due to your inexcusable actions. I've given your restaurant and it's staff far too many chances to redeem yourselfs! I don't know the names of the two men that I mentioned, but I'm sure this review is detailed enough for them to remember me! And yes, the group of four ladies and two babies that you served the other day were my family, one of the babies was my daughter. Tried to have one of the prams moved out of the way? Disgusting! Coming home to find my partner upset because of your horrible treatment was the final straw for me. Now all of your potential customers can see this review and will hopefully think twice about paying a visit. 'Award winning' 👏👏👏

I absolutely love coming here with my partner and 3 year old son. It’s just quick and easy, the service is like no other place I’ve ever been to as soon as you order the food arrives within minutes. It’s a fairly small restaurant that offers proper hearty delicious dishes. Over the past couple of months they have added new Greek dishes and the Kleftico is out of this world😍 The staff are all amazing with my son and they have been for years. Highchairs are available and I even tried to pick up my son’s mess from the floor and the staff insisted that I sit down and they were to do it. I really do love coming here and would highly recommend visiting here whether you be a solo diner, a couple or a family there is something for everyone on the menu.

Lovely chippy, such friendly owner! Had a wonderful meal, we were made so welcome. Couldn't believe how wrong some recent reviews were. Paul, the owner, made us feel so welcome. Food was so tasty - such a great choice and the Greek specials are amazing. I would definitely recommend that you try this place if you haven't already - you won't be disappointed

Faultless as ever! The thing about this place is that everything is great - the choice, the quality, the price, the staff. Perfect every time. Their adaptability to your requests, their gluten free and vegetarian choices cannot be beaten. Michelle and Paul are friendly, welcoming and polite. Like family! You will not be disappointed 😊👌😊👌. The empty plate speaks for itself 😄 x

visited on 3rd feb 2024 around 3 pm i discover this little lovely gem 2 years ago. i love their creative cuisine dish, large portions great prices for all dish. today i tryed Kleftico lamb on bobe cooked in the oven with deliciouse tomatoes ,carrots onions and red wine. amazing dish , well cooked the lamb ,melts in your mouth

We booked to go to Green lane chippy today. We booked a table for 4 people and room for two prams to which the restaurant said was fine. When I arrived at the restaurant with my pram, I was made to feel like a complete nuisance. I was asked if I could move my pram elsewhere, I said I could temporarily but would need it back as my baby needs to sleep (he’s 7 months old and can’t stay in a high chair for long stretches of time), I was huffed and puffed at, told my pram was in the way and given a sour attitude and dirty looks across the room. I didn’t say anything at the time as I was with my grandma and didn’t want to cause a scene, but decided to ring later in the day to file a complaint, genuine feedback as I felt one member of staff was rude and thought the business should know. Turns out I spoke to the owner, who also happened to be what I thought was the rude member of staff. When I tried to explain I didn’t appreciate the way I had been treated, I basically was told I was wrong, and that he wasn’t rude to me, then continued to say “I’m not rude love, you’re rude”, “I’m sorry if you think I was rude, but I wasn’t”. Still in complete shock that that’s how a business owner treats paying customers. Definitely won’t be going back. Food is nothing special, they’re still riding off the back of awards they won in 2012… it’s 2024.

Came here with my family today and 2 prams which when I called to book I requested this and was told it would be fine. When one of my family members arrived with her baby in the pram she was treated so disrespectfully and made to feel like her baby and the pram was an inconvenience. If it was, I should have been told when I called to book. When we were leaving a comment was also made about the fact that she was late. She called the restaurant afterwards to complain and was spoken to even more disrespectfully and was basically told she was rude by the owner. So much for the customer is always right. Won’t be coming back for food. Also, the past two times we have used the take away the staff have been so rude. Is it hard to say please and thank you? If it wasn’t for paying customers these people wouldn’t have a job they could at least try to use their manners.

We arrived quite late with most diners almost completing their meal. However, they still made us very welcome and nothing was to much trouble, excellent service and food

Really excellent food and fast serving time 10/10

Lovely food . Haven't been out for 3weeks not been well enough not eaten properly. So for our anniversary we went there it was just perfect. Fish chips n mushy peas great food . Will be going back thankyou...👏

This is an exceptional, traditional chippy and a regular haunt of ours. The food is always fresh and hot. My hubby always has the prawn cocktail to start (it's amazing). Mario and the staff are friendly and chatty. A real gem of a place.

One of the best fish and chips I had

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time! Lovely place with friendly people. Would definitely recommend them. Greetings from the Netherlands

I love this restaurant. If you were born before the 2000’s you’ll recognise the wonderful taste of chips the way they used to be. They also have a very good Gluten Free menu and all the Gluten Free food is cooked separately. We have a friend who can only eat gluten free and this is a great place to eat. Green Lane Chippy serves the usual chip shop food, pies, battered sausage etc and there is a take-away counter as well as dining in section. It is worth looking at the specials menu too though. I’ve had the home made pie before and it was lovely. They serve alcoholic drinks as well as soft drinks, tea and coffee. The staff are always polite and helpful. We were offered extra chips but we were too full to have them. There is a small car park behind the restaurant and a convenience store next door. You can park on the road but remember it is a residential area. Thanks for reading

Visited 11th January. What an absolute gem this place is. I have visited chip shops from all around the UK as travelling around is part of my job and can honestly put this chip shop in the very premium top level establishments for both service and food quality. It is clear to see why awards have been given to them. Well deserved. Thank you for the amazing meal, will be visiting again as soon as my travels bring me back in this part of the country.

Visited for wife's 50th Birthday gluten free options really good excellent food and service would highly recommend

Absolutely fantastic food and service visited for wife's 50 Birthday gluten free menu is excellent my wife is Coeliac so hard to find good restaurants offering free from, I am not but had gluten free food was really tasty good quick friendly service would highly recommend will definitely be back thanks.

Fantastic food, fresh and hot, I go here every Friday. The servers are friendly and really efficient , but the owner is at times impatient with the staff which is why the 4 stars for atmosphere. Food is amazing, big portions and the prices are competitive to the rest of the town. Very well known and established chippy.

Always a good night in the restaurant, friendly staff, varied selection of food, love the traditional puddings especially jam sponge and custard ! Thank you 😊

Brilliant all round our favourite chippy.

Great Chippy with added bonus of restaurant

Amazing food served by lovely people. Festive pie was absolutely lovely with all the accompaniments. Certainly be back.

Good Food festive pie very good large portion plus gluten free options on menu scampi was good

Food was good, mushy peas were very dry and looked like they'd been under a heat lamp too long as they had a dried up top in the little pot they where in. Service was very good. Tables very close together felt like we were sat with the people either side of us.

Fantastic food. Staff are very and helpfull friendly. It's definitely worth a visit

We visited on a Monday night with our baby girl and from the minute we arrived the staff were so attentive. They made sure to get some chips out to cool down for her and made such a fuss of her. Both me and my partner came away and said we will definitely be returning. Thank you all so much and keep up your great work:)

Good food festive pie superb and a lot of it, gluten free scampi Good, licensed too. Good menu and special board had greek food last night. Clean spacious seating area friendly and helpful staff. Not bad prices for a restaurant.

Lovely chippy, the food is realy nice and the service is quick.

We'd decided to go to Green Lane fish and chip restaurant last Friday having had a busy day.We had been intending to have the rag pudding but when we sat down Paul the owner manager told us they were doing a Christmas special which he...

Great food great speedy service 🫶🏽

Have had two meals here. Small fish & chips for an evening meal, very tasty. Decided on a healthier meal for lunch so had jacket potato with tuna mayo. Staff very friendly. Large choice of meals. Downside not easy to park outside but plenty of side streets to park in.

Absolutely phenomenal. Not once have I had a negative experience at this fabulous chippy. The chips are of such a high quality that when I tried them for the first time I ascended. This chippy is very inclusive as the chips here are vegan and gluten-free. I hope this review can encourage plenty of people from many different walks of life to visit this top class business.

We came as a party of 3 for an evening meal. Our friend that came with us is gluten and dairy free and he often struggles with menu choices in restaurants. Not here. There is a fabulous extensive selection of gluten free food even down...

Top food even gave me a bump start as battery went flat on car

Went for a late lunch two adults and 4 teenagers, were lucky to get a table, staff were helpful, food was very good. Between us we had traditional fish & chips, suet pie, scampi, beef burger, fish goujons all very good as was the sponge pudding and custard for desert . Would recommend.

Great Gluten Free Options. Normally busy when we go but staff are friendly and efficient and the wait is never that long.

Great service, super friendly, tip chippy. 👍

Delicious lunch, haddock chips, peas, pot of tea.. perfect

Had Rag pudding for 1st time- and it was very good- complimented with chips peas and gravy

The staff are lovely, the food is gorgeous, prices are reasonable. I had the most incredible vegetarian steak pie 🥧 and it was to die for! Special mention to Michelle and James. Once you've been there, you'll never go anywhere else 👍☺️

Once you've eaten here, you'll never go anywhere else. Staff (James and Michelle) are amazing. The vegetarian steak pie was heavenly 😇. Reasonable prices and incredible food 😋😋😋😋.

We have been to this restaurant many times and never been disappointed. We went recently and tried something different. We both had the garlic mushrooms for starters which were delicious. My partner had the fish cake while the moussaka with Greek salad. My partner enjoyed...

The best peas I have ever tasted. Everything was very hot and fresh.

Just be absolute best fish and chips! We ate in 3 times in the one week. It’s that good. Don’t hesitate- the food here is top drawer!

When I returned to my favourite chippy recently I was pleasantly surprised that even through the Financial Times we are all experiencing they had only increased their prices marginally, sadly though I realised why, so the same price for a battered cod (one size no large no medium no small) and so I bought 2 to make up for the fact that they are cutting the pieces into two but charging the same, please see pics of you don’t believe me. Will be going elsewhere, this is NOT. a review of the adjoining Restaurant which you cannot fault, in my opinion.

Just went on the spare of the moment and fortunate they had a table. Always have fish, chips and mushy peas when here. It has never disappointed.

As a coeliac I highly recommend the food, and you have lots of choices, they make sure it is all safe. Staff are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. Good value for money.

Best Chippy in Lancashire for a start. Friendly helpful people

I can't think of anywhere better for a chippy tea!

Absolutely Fabolous. Best ever place iv eaten especially being coeliac. The owners and all the staff are lovely and can't do enough. I have to admit I go there very often and will continue to do so infact I'm there again next week for my son's birthday xx

Visited last week , 3 of us and a sit in as a treat as one of us wasn’t having the best of times. I had a fish supper £11-20 and a cider £4 ish Next was a double sausage, gravey and chips along with...

Hadn't been for a while but decided to go for food Friday evening. Was sat in the naughty corner with a view of everything going on (I'm so nosy it was perfect) the family on the next table was having a good craic with the waiters which was lovely to see. Food was beautifully cooked and was plenty of it. Staff polite and attentive. Definitely worth the prices which considering the quality of produce is very reasonable. Happy atmosphere made it a pleasure to be there.

TBH the chips were not as good as hitherto, with mostly small and some 'ends', possibly to do with potato availability.

If you can I highly recommend dining in instead of a takeout. But both are lovely! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Lovely place!

Not just the best chippy in leigh ,the best chippy anywhere on earth

Fantastic service and the food is top quality, they were the nicest fish and chips I have had. Really helpful with aiding my elderly father to his seat. The help was really appreciated, thank you so much.

Great chippy with excellent options, even gluten free (though let them know in advance if you want a GF pie)

We don't live locally but when we visit family we make sure to visit here too. The chips are the best chips ever and everytime we come they taste the same whereas chippies near us can be hit and miss! Never change! 😋

Wonderful from start to finish. Big portions excellent value.

Fish chips n Peas lovely, excellent service, will definitely visit again soon 👍

Great place to have lunch. Rag pudding, lovely pieces of tender steak complete with rich gravy! Tasty piece of fish! A Good traditional hearty meal. Also try the traditional Greek Moussaka dish, you won't be disappointed, tender minced lamb, Moist but not wet. As good a Moussaka as you will get!

Very disappointed today the second time a plate of scraps and the pea fritter is getting smaller each visit.

This chippy for us is the best ( only the food ) in town. Unfortunately we went today and the chips were like rubber and not fresh, the fish was full of bones and not nice at all. The chicken nuggets were not fresh and tasted like cardboard and the rag pudding tasted like fresh air!! That's because we paid but never got it!! Very disappointed!!

We've never eaten in, but the take away service is brilliant, priced really well, staff are professional, although there's usually a queue it's fast moving and food is always lovely. I recommend the curry sauce and gravy.

Spare of the moment decision early Saturday evening, although busy we had a choice on comfortable seating that suited us. My starter was the fish goujons and lovely fresh fish inside a light batter. We both chose the lightly battered cod for mains and as...

First time here and everything was spot on, the food, service and atmosphere. The staff were fantastic, friendly, polite and professional, can't fault anything

The staff are lovely and really look after you :) the food is so so so so good! Highly recommend this place 😍

One of the best chippies I've had... Friendly staff, great tasting food and good prices.

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, perfect fish and chips! What more could you ask for?

Tasty, traditional, fish, chips and peas, plus pies, burgers, soup, prawns, calamari and more - gluten free! We had the fish, chips and peas and they were fantastic! The Green Lane Chippy features an old school carry out counter inviting you off the sidewalk with a lovely sit down restaurant adjacent. Those who require Gluten free know that GF can be as good or better than its non-gf counterparts and Green Lane does it very well! If you are visiting the Greater Manchester area or northwest of England in general, you’ll want to dine in or carry out at the Green Lane Chippy.

I’ve just had sausage chips and gravy here and I have to say it was fantastic. Lovely clean premises, no queue (lots of staff) and lovely helpful staff. Thanks. Highly recommended.
