Irby Fish and Chips in Wirral

Tradional English chip shop. Very good cod and chips.

Best fish and chips in the area. By far. There are actually too many chips!

Great fish, scallops and mushy peas

Great place to go for your Fish and chips good service

Love this plaice. Wonderful eats, great chat and speedy service. Worth driving past every fish and chip shop on the Wirral to get your dinner here. Best scallops in the universe.

Drove all way from Birkenhead as wss told great fish an chips Website says open till 10 pm . Not so closes at 8.30pm as owner was there locking up. Disappointed to say the least. Correct your opening times.

Lovely fish, good chips Good portion size Priced well for the area Friendly staff.

The food is nice but the portions are far too small considering how expensive it is.

Great fish and chip shop, all cooked to perfection, lovely staff

Just bought a sausage dinner all dried up sausage warmed up chips vile 8 pounds !!! Discusting on my way back ti Liverpool or would took it back ! How your getting away selling that god knows ! So happy i allocated back here just demanded my money they were reluctant at 1st but good job they gave me it thats all im saying avoid this pit !!!!!!

Small portions and very expensive

No frills, traditional chippy. The chips were spot on, delicious! The guy gives great friendly service. Would definitely go back and recommend. Cash only.

The fish has to be one of the best I've tasted from a chip shop. Contrary to other postings I find the portions large, so much so that you could easily share between two

they do a great battered cod and sausage, chips are nice and tasty, great friendly owners you have to love jimmy and his son they are very nice people and you also have a good selection of drinks to quench your thirst, good prices for good food the atmosphere in that shop is impeccable. irby fish n chips has a place in my heart you can see them make the delicious food in front of you and my mouth starts to water. I love irby fish n chips you should pay a visit. from alex, BOSHHHH

Shocking, rude and overpriced !! Feel sorry for the residents of Irby if this is the best, chips tasteless and no offer of salt & vinegar, categorically will never set foot in there again!!!!!

£2 for the smallest portion of chips I've ever had. Shocking!

Lovely Fisheries, never been disappointed and been coming here for years. Live in Yorkshire now and still call in for our fish & chips when we are on the Wirral visiting

Excellent! World Class Chippy 😋👏😋

Obviously it's restricted to pickup ... Food was good and comparable with new Wetherspoons Heswall ... Where I got a pint included ... Nice people good food

Father in law's favourite chippie

Really great fish from here, we didn't actually have any chips so can't comment on those.

Spotlessly clean, traditional chippy. Very tasty haddock, scampi and chips with good service too.

Best and cheapest in the area A1*****

Typical fish and chip shop, food cooked to order, not sat in the hot plate, very clean and the food very tasty.

Been around for years and still the best fish and chip shop, we don't go anywhere else

Fish and chips cooked fresh as I ordered Very good

Food is excellent ,but the parking needs to be looked st

Worst fish and chips iv eaten it was like slop

Always great taste and great value.

After more than 40 years, still haven't found a better fish and chips anywhere in the world.

Best chip shop in the Wirral, Homly vibes and friendly staff, food is crazy good.

Great meal for four at a great price. Yummy!

Great fish and chips. Dramatic entertainment! ;-)

Excellent food. Very entertaining!

Not sure how this place got a 4 star rating, I ordered Cod, chips and curry sauce, sauce was separate which was fine but the chips were under cooked and the cod in batter was not cooked in the middle, fish was very sloppy. Portion size I was given was like a child's dinner, was not worth £7 at all.......first and last time il ever go there!!!

Best fish and chips on the wirral.

The goats of fish and chips, there isn't a better fish and chips on the wirral your crazy if you go anywhere else.

Not a bad chippy. There are a couple of downsides though; 1. The guy behind the counter literally looks like David Dastmalchian (the bad guy in Prisoners and The Dark Knight - no, not Paul Dano, the other one). Now that's not neccessarily a bad thing but I can't help but feel a little bit scared when he's pouring salt onto my chips. 2. The mushy peas are quite rubbish.

Quiet when I entered. Floor space marked out for covid and masks worn. Really good, friendly service. Beautiful fish and chips with mushy peas. Fresh tasting fish in tasty crisp batter, chips were excellent and peas as good as any I've ever had. Parking was easy at the side. All in all we will definitely go again.

Great selection of excellent takeway meals.

Excellent chips. Proper British chip shop. None of that oriental imitation rubbish. Not a kebab or stir fry in sight. Just fresh cooked, hot chips with a bit of colour to them and slight ly crispy... Plenty of s&v and even some good old fashioned crispy bits. I bloody enjoyed that. I'll be back.

Since moving to the St Helens area, and more recently to Prenton, I have been unable to find a decent traditional chippy...until tonight. My girlfriend and I both agreed that the fish and chips were delicious, and my cat even finished off her mushy peas (which she was too full to finish). I can't say whether or not this is the best chippy on The Wirral, because there are plenty that I haven't visited. However, I will now travel to Irby Fish & Chips for our "chippy teas" as it is the best new chippy I have visited in years. Highly recommended (and a lot cheaper than the "award winning" chippy in Prenton which serves thin fish covered in too much batter).

I've travelled up and down the country and this is my favourite chip shop ever.

Best fish and chips in the region

Simple menu, but quality fish and chips. I shall revisit soon.

Superb fish and chips tried loads around Heswall and this wins! The chips aren’t greasy or dry just perfect and crispy! The fish is so fresh and falls to bits will definitely be back!!!

Absolutely excellent. Jimmy's fish and chips NEVER fail to please. Best Fish and Chip shop on the Wirral Peninsula.

I have been coming from West Kirby for fish and chips here for many years. The key is that you have to wait whilst they are cooked, which shows that they are fresh. I will not go anywhere else. Also the owners are really nice and it is kept immaculately clean.

I live in Hoylake and drive to Irby Chip Shop because the fish is perfectly cooked with batter crispy and not soggy as I have found shops nearer to me serve.I have bought from Irby for many years and hand on heart, can say I have neverBeen disappointed in quality, quantity or friendliness of Father and sons who haveServed me over the years. Long may they remain!!

Been going here for years and always enjoyed high, quality food but in recent weeks the standards have dropped considerably. The chips in recent weeks have been either over cooked or hard or under cooked which in my eyes is very amateurish and disappointing.

The fish and chips where fantastic

Just sent the lad up for 2 portions of chips... Cold... Tiny portions... Absolutely fuming.... Never ever going again... Pensby fish bar all the way for me... I've never ever had a bad meal or been disappointed from there... Irby fish and chips...yoy should be ashamed of yourselves

Could not get anything . Arrived during opening hours having travelled fro Oswestry and it was closed. Bit disappointed , but went to the pub nearby, The Cottage loaf and had a pint a lovely fish and chips, very pleased to say it was COD !

Good quality, bring cash they don't do cards.

Having been disappointing by the Pensby Fish Bar, a friend suggested I try Irby Fish & Chips . . . Can't recommend it enoughChips were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Fish was perfect, crispy battery and flaky fresh cod on the insideWonderful place to get a take out, to take to Thurstaston and eat on top of the hill or down by the beach (remembering to put all of your litter in the bins)

Lovely food. Lovely people. All health and safety in place. Just been for fish and chips for 91 year old and customers let me go first . Please visit FAB PLACE

Great place, chips were soggy and calamari was chewy though

Great fish and chips...Nice to see them back open !

Always been the best fish & chips around . It’s been open forever and the owner & his sons are always welcoming and chatty . Excellent quality and value for the money .

Hmmm, 3 an half really, was expecting something tastier. Staff very nice though!!

Overpriced... Good and bad days

This is a traditional English fish and chip shop, so the selection isn’t huge. However, from several recommendations, everything is good here. I just had a portion of chips at lunchtime and they were very good but rated 4 due to small choice

No frills such as burgers or kebabs. Fish and chips in abundance and very well done.. Just what you need.

We have tried many fish & chip shops on the Wirral but we consider this one the best .Not only is the food first class but the service is of the highest order with a friendly word on arrival . Long may it continue.

Great traditional chippy small menu cooked freshly good price. The best fish and chips in the area

Nice chippy very pleasant staff

Lovely chips. Mushy peas weren't brilliant though.

Absolutely the best fish and chips I have ever had. The owner is a friendly guy and the shop is immaculate

I have been using this chippy for nearly thirty five years and it’s still the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted. The chips are to die for , the batter is perfect and the fish beautifully fresh and flaky. Also the sausages are great, no gristle or hard bits. It’s always spotlessly clean and Jim is very friendly and chatty.

Fish is really lovely from here would recommend it xx

After visiting my Son in Law to drop of a burner I realise it was other opportunity to try some fish and chips from Irby Fish and Chips.I got there about 13.50 on Wednesday, so I guess he was just about to close, but any question of the quality of the fare was quickly dispelled, when I was served up a tray of beautiful fish chips and peas, takes me back to time when we always had fish and chips from our local Greek run chippy and we’re not eating buns with the taste and texture of cardboard wrapped around an even more disgusting blander burger ...Keep up the good work .... I for one really appreciate it

Awful experience on Saturday early evening ordered fish chips & curry sauce & found plastic in my fish returned to the shop & basically got my money threw back at me guess the recent 1* food hygiene rating was true! will never ea there again

Great local Chippy: old fashioned and simple.

Really nice fish and chips, support local

every thing is fresh always enjoy when were having a chippy tea

The nicest staff, amazing fish and chips

Best fish and chips around hear, great service friendly staff.

I order large sausage and chips for my son, the chips are perfectly done

Absolutely perfect fish and chips . Cooked fresh while you wait . Had fish and chips there Friday omg just perfect . Fish was so fresh . Nice to get fresh fish these days . Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Best fish I have had in a long time . Friendly staff and supper fast at wrapping the chips xx

Really nice fish and chips. Good prices too.

I have been going to this fish and chip shop for over 40 years. Same owners. Lovely people and great food.

Visited whilst staying in the area. Friday evening with family, place was busy, we all opted for fish and chips - good quality, very tasty, would recommend and return.

In 10 years of going to this chippy we have never been disappointed. Fish are always wrapped separately to the chips and as we prefer to add our own salt and vinegar at home the fish remains good and crispy during the 10 minute journey back. Keeping such superb standards over such a long time is remarkable so well done to all.

This place is a above average for quality and freshness. The cod and chips is £5 A generous portion of chips and cooked to order.

Thought we would try this place out as we’d seen it a few times. Seems family run with the father cooking and the 2 sons in their 40’s serving. We ordered and were left waiting while a regular who walked in after us was served.

Great food at a really good price.. fish excellent... staff chatty and friendly

I got a shock at the price of Fish & Chips. I do not like them being served in polystyrene trays either so I only occasionally visit.

Go there regularly and a part from some slightly long queues a clean scrumptious place for a night in

Fantastic family run business the best around. !

I went into Irby Fish and Chips last Friday 06/07/18 about 7.10pm because my son in law has always told me you won’t get better fish and chips and he’s correct,so I ordered two Haddock, unfortunately because they are so popular they had already sold out so I ordered two Cod lightly battered chips and mushy peas,rushed home shared out our meals between my wife and granddaughter Orla aged 5 and we all said they were the fish and chips ever, I even ate all the batter which I never do, well done to the owner the young lad who served me, very pleasant chap

Went downhill when apparently new owners took over last year; poor quality, re-heated food later in the day, and regularly closes well before the advertised time of 10pm. UPDATE: The precious owners have returned! Seems the 'awful crew' we're only there temporarily while the real owners were abroad for a few months. All back to usual high standards and reliable opening hours now; thank goodness!

Glad jim is back. Shop is spotless and fish n chips delushous as always yum yum

Absolutely disgusted with this chippy.. Been here in the Past and had brilliant service and lovely food, went back recently and they didn't have what i ordered so i ordered something else.. The man on the front desk was very rude when taking my order and also the chips were basically still hard under cooked potato's and the curry was horrendous.. It was chunky, watery mess and absolutely no taste whatsoever.. I am very disappointed in this and wouldn't reccomend this to anyone!

As a Wirral resident this used to be my favourite fish & chip shop offering good quality, freshly cooked fish & chips, especially the chips. However, since it changed hands last year things seem to have been on a bit of a downward slope. To start with, it seems that the later you arrive in the evening, which I often do due to my working hours, the available offerings are not always freshly cooked and have been hanging around for a while, and some things are bit even available, such as potato scallops - how difficult can it be to cook some battered, sliced potatoes to maintain a supply of them? However the real deterioration has been the now seemingly very regular early closing, despite the advertised opening hours dis played on the door. On three separate occasions now I've arrived firstly at 9:45pm to find the door closed, secondly at 9:35pm and most recently at 9:20pm on a Saturday night. On this last occasion I knocked on the closed and locked door to attract the attention of a woman inside, who just turned around and shouted, 'There's nothing left!' Ehen I shouted back, 'What, not even any chips?' she just walked away through a door to the back of the shop. Fortunately Lee & Lau's Chinese takeaway over the road stays open until 11:00pm every day except Tuesday, and I have now found that they prepare very nice, very freshly cooked chips. So, in light of the obvious disdain with which Irby Fish & Chips seem to think it is acceptable to treat potential customers with, I think I know where I will be taking my custom in future!

Switching on the xmas lights - curry and chips went down well to fend off the cold whilst waiting for the big event ! Value for money !!

Best fish and chips in the area, always so so good! My only downer on the place was that they only did a fruity curry and not a hot one - but when we last went in they had started doing a hot curry :D perfect!! Now wouldn't go anywhere else.

We've been customers of this chippy for many years The original owner seems to have move don but the quality is still good and the new incumbent now serves small portions for older customers which is a great idea

The food is nice but the staff aren't very friendly. It's convenient to park usually. People say the fish is good but it all tastes the same to me.
