It's a chippy but this time we have meat and potato pie, steak pudding and chips, peas and gravy every thing was just right, we'd go again tomorrow.

Asked for heavy on all food and they put the smallest amount possible on all 3, chip barm with gravy was in a tiny tray with about 5 chips but a pie chips & gravy is a massive meal in a large tray. Overpriced crap

Really tasty haddock and chips, a little expensive but good portions. Didn’t realise that ‘order on entry’ meant yell over the counter though, but other customers helped me out. Really nice overall

Ordered fish (over 7pounds for one single fish) which I was very excited about, arrived and they sent no fish.. Rang and was asked if we lived near, which we do, then to be told to get a refund from uber eats instead as they wouldn't send one. Waste of money won't be ordering again, very disappointed. Checked the reviews and it seems a common problem that has happened before. If you don't give good service don't expect food reviews.

Recently moved to Leyland and tried a few chippys which were ok, but then spoke to a neighbour and recommended this one, fantastic chippy, very clean, staff wearing all the correct clothing, a credit to the area.

We got a fish, large chips, a pie, sausage for the dogs, gravy and peas. The food is okay, but the main problem is because it’s not a chippy that is busy all the time the food is often sat in the warmerfor a long time so when you get your chips and fish the batter tastes a bit chewy and the chips are a bit crunchy. i’m a firm believer that chips taste better out of paper as well and this chippy does not serve chips out of paper. .

Fish was awful. Lightly battered? No - it was like rubber and was stiff! You could hold it up by the tail and nothing moved. Inside dry and had texture of old frozen fish. Chips tasted reheated and potion small.Worst fish and chip I have ever had - inedible and went in the bin.

Food's pretty good, but the management have no imagination. Hey, imagine if three people came in and ordered fish? Well if that happens we'll fry three fish. Result? Ten people waiting for orders, but no new orders being taken because the servers are busy. The one in charge needs to give hir head a good wobble.

This place has been going downhill for months. Today was the worst ever. I ordered chips and 2 steak puddings. They only had 1 steak pudding -what sort of chippy runs out 90 minutes before closing! I chose chicken instead. They could not work out the difference in money and tried to short change me by more than £2, Not the slightest apology was forthcoming - just a young girl muttering about how she was right - she wasn't!. I returned the chicken as it was dry, overcooked and obviously reheated. The chips were greasy and reheated. This was the last straw and I won't be going again. the place used to be heaving but is now almost always empty - and no wonder!

We visited this chippy tonight at around 6-00pm and bought 2 portions of fish and chips.Their claim that they provide "traditional fish and chips" I question.This is I suspect is just not true.The fish was tasteless, the texture of the batter was rubbery. I have had frozen fish from Asda better that this. At £4 a time, its a waste of money.The chips were no better. I am sure they came out of the freezer rather than a sack.Yes they were hot, but value for money or appetizing?Sadly not.Would we visit again?You must be joking.

I have not had a fish from here for quite a while so decided to have one for change. I’m pretty sure last time I visited and got fish and chips it was wrapped in paper however this time it was in a plastic box which I don’t really like my food served in. I found the fish to be quite greasy and there was grease on the bottom of the plate in a little pool. The chips were a little greasy too. The dogs enjoyed their sausage.

bought fish and chips for myself and my wife to take home , only live 1 mile away , put them on plates and sat down to eat them fish did not look too appetizing batter was a mess and the fish looked like they had been reheated , as we tried to eat them they were cold and dry and chewy , chips were also cold and horrible , could not eat them , if the happy friar did not close too early I would have taken them back and demanded a refund.will not buy from them again and definitely will not recommend . had to bin the lot . what rubbish they sell . a angry and very dissatisfied customer . steve

Todo siempre los gustos de esta excelente chippy mi única crítica es el tamaño de la porción patatas fritas, una gran porción de aquí, yo diría que es lo que obtienes como parte estándar en otros chippies.

Food here is a really good standard. my only gripe is that the large chips is not particularly large I could easily eat it by myself. At Some places locally a large portion really is large & half is substantial enough.

Perfect chips again, however the large portion @ £1.65 is not as large as it some other local chippies. This is still my favourite chippy in the area where I live.

The staff here are ignorant and rude. More interested in having a cigarette outside than serving customers. Greasy fish and batter not crispy. When putting fish in polystyrene they literally mash it in half and cram it in. Avoid at all costs

Probably the best chippy in Leyland. The food is always good and is reasonably priced. My only criticism is that it closes early on Saturday night, at 8pm .

I have always got chicken n chips from here for the last god knows how many years.I rang an order through a couple of Saturday's ago for 3 portions of chicken and chips,chips and gravy and a large battered sausage.When I got there the lady was about to put my order in the polystyrene carton, I asked can I please just have them wrapped in paper. She huffed and said I should of said that I wanted them wrapped when I rang because it was getting busy in the shop. I said what difference does it make as your only just putting my order together. She well you should of said when you rang. I replied am no arguing over what it wrapped in. Terrible service.the chips were horrible I will definitely never go there again

I don't know what's happened here in the last few years but it is nowhere near as good as it used to be, bad quaility chips and a fish that stank the house out and ended up getting binned, I'll not eat here again till it gets new owners.. Pull your fingers out.

Walked in to some kind of chip cooking crisis but as I didn't want chips I wasn't bothered unlike the lady waiting who was in a hurry. Waited to be served and tried to make eye contact with two members of staff who completely ignored me, went to the counter and was still ignored so after waiting several minutes I walked out. The food may be good, who knows, but if it's anything like the service I'd give it a miss.
