Jack Sprats Chip Shop in Oldham

25 years of chippy service closed, due to the inflation costs. I will always remember the best gravy, mushy peas was always from here accompanied by a rag pudding, if you was lucky to get in there before tea time. closed in April 2023. If anyone ever takes on this chippy would have to be the Pep Guardiola's of chippies

Can not fault the food from here, the portions are superb and the quality is fantastic. You get what you pay for and i was happy to pay.

This chip shop is run by a man with absolutely no manners what so ever. I used to enjoy eating food from here but will never step foot in the place again unless it's to slap the owner with a fish. Rude racist old man who will learn a lesson or two. Shame because the rest of the staff are good people. And where do you get your fish from because if I spent a week eating there I could buy myself a boat and hire a few crew for the prices you charge! I think they call it extortion.

I rang through an order of 1 x large cod, chips & peas and 1 x small chips & gravy. I collected 10 minutes later. The staff were very friendly and chatty. The fish was really good. Very fresh tasting with a nice light batter. Chips and gravy were very nice also. The peas were a bit bland for my liking but ok. Everything was piping hot. I didnt take notice of the prices but was charged £19.80 so I've either been overcharged or it's an expensive chippy even though the food is nice.

Worked locally and always enjoyed their fish and chips, had to get the whole office order in or there would be trouble.

Always go passed the Jack Spratts chippy & on a weekday gave it try. Ordered 2 fish & chips.They cook fish when ordered so I thought great can't get fresher than that. When we went home we saw the fish batter was not crispy but some odd soggy batter & the fish was bad, I think she gave us haddock & NOT cod, though on their menu it states you can choose what fish you like.since we did not choose nor wer asked to choose the type of fish we would like, we expected as default it would be COD as that is traditional fish . I have had chips & fish from other places but never seen fish & fish batter like they do in Jack's Spratts .it was simply awful , the girl who put the fish in the fryer simply either does not know what she is doing or it's just their batter recipe that is bad. Either way money down the drain it was & lesson learnt .Next time will stick to my favourite chippys.

3 fish and 2 chips and 3 pots of curry came to 25 pounds expensive and the food was very bland. Will not use again.

This used to be our favourite chippy in Oldham. Sadly the owner (who is a cheeky chappy in a good way and he always welcomes you) and the staff mainly have let the standards drop so much I think this will be our last visit here, unless I hear things have changed. Award winning chippy sadly resembles a back street dirty living off the old reputation it once had as the best chippy in Oldham. The portions are measly to say the least, they have decreased drastically whilst prices have gone up. The staff are not as welcoming as they used to be, rather grumpy and you get certain looks. I was in there and they were giving judgemental looks to each other whilst pointing out certain customers waiting in shop for their chippy. They don’t wash their hands after handling cash nor wear gloves. Hygiene levels are so bad. I watched as a customer paid in coins and the lady counted it all out on the worktop then popped it in till then went straight to handle food. All this whilst another coughed into the back of her hand and then continued to handle food into a container for a waiting customer. I was shocked. I waited until my order was going to get packed and I was ready to ask them to wash their hands before packing mine but Peter (owner) stepped in and did mine whilst we chatted about footy and he was clean. Cross contamination at this place is rife and sadly I will not be coming back here until things improve. Shame as I am sure it can be a great chippy once again but only if things change.

Its a simple British chippy that does an option of a extra large fish and it is, the batter is light and crispy and the chips fresh tasting. Is it the best fish and chips I have eaten - no, is it the cheapest - no, but as a package it is worth a visit.

I love this chippy... Rag pudding, chips, gravy and mushy peas now that is amazing. I'd say it is reasonably priced for the quality and fantastic service! Even Asians order food from here which is great to see :)

We have been coming here for years and always rated it as the very best chippy in town. Even when the prices have gone up over the years we still came here as the chips are always well cooked and the fish and batter is better than the rest. Always a treat. I have noticed in recent times and visits the standards are dropping. This is a real concern as I can see this chippy slowly going the way of others in time. I think the staff are mainly the issue as there has been some new staff joining which has affected quality quite a bit as we don’t go in as regularly as previously. Just waiting for the staff to get more comfortable and settled in and up to speed with the jack spratts methods before we start coking back more regularly. Also hygiene levels have dropped too. Staff are criss contaminating meat products with others using same cutlery instead of being organised and having one for fish, separate for cheese n onion pie to the meat ones, separate for the sausages etc. This put me off too but again will hope that it’s down to new staff still learning. Portion sizes have dropped quite a bit over the last 2-3 years and I laugh sometimes saying when the price of chips gets to £3 it will literally be for 3 chips. Bit pricey but we love it and don’t mind paying but portion sizes are a concern. Used to be 5 star all way for us but sadly a drop in standards mean a drop in stars. If it improves will leave a better review.

Im suspicious of such a mixed review panel, makes me think someone is trying to hide the publics real opinions! We went here tonight 14/08/19 for fish chips & peas, the fish batter was like an overcooked Yorkshire pudding, by contrast the chips were not cooked enough and the peas were cold! Nothing was dry and crispy as it should be, just stodgy, we disliked it so much we vowed never to go back. Our friends tell us this used to be a great chippy! It seems like the owner has taken his eye off the ball, shame really because the staff are nice enough.

expensive I think! The portions are small too, won’t be going back there again! Used to be good food and good value too, not sure what’s gone wrong here,

Basically English chips shop, well run fish cooked fresh no reheating, always of the best quality. Staff very friendly.

Food nice but ridiculously expensive. 2x homemade steak pie ( not large portions) chips,peas and gravy Chips and gravy £9.90

I've lived in Oldham for 8 years now and wouldn't think about going anywhere else other than Jack Sprats chippy. I've tried countless chippy's across North Manchester and nothing comes close. The fish and chips are to die for. Highly recommended!!!!

We got a good portion of food and it was very good there was also a good helping of local banter where everybody was able to join in the conversation.

Best fish in oldham. We had the extra large haddock each. Chips peas and gravy. Been 3 times now. Always excellent. Mushy peas scummy too. No complaints from us

Treated myself to rag pudding chips peas and gravy mmm on Xmas eve was amazing definitely worth a visit and you'll go back again

Chanced upon this place a few months back when picking the kids up from their new school nearby. Early for school run on Tuesday so nipped back for chips, peas and gravy. Top again. I’ll be back.

Lovely! Chips, peas and gravy in a tray just like the ‘Old Days’. Really tasty food and a good serving too! Will return!

Hoy 1/llamado 06/17 mientras visitaba durante el trabajo.

Amazing service and amazing food. Can't ask for much more! Food is always on point. Price is reasonable too.

Esta noche no habituales no estándar, así que visita de nuevo en horas punta. Las patatas fritas eran apenas cocinadas y realmente porciones pequeñas, torta de carne estaba seco y crujiente en los bordes básicamente incomible y salchichas fue hecha y split. Caro comida familiar, de muy mala calidad. El pescado era una nota positiva.

Estafa absoluta de un lugar curry y patatas fritas me cobraron £2. 60 por el tipo de la cantidad de patatas fritas me podían contar en ambas manos y el curry más vinagre que conseguí curry nunca regresaré también muy grosero

Pescado y patatas fritas realmente bueno aquí, no se puede esperar por su orden, sin embargo, eso es porque trata de mantener las cosas frescas y también porque son populares. Me gustó que tenía una opción de pescado aquí en lugar de otros competidores locales que le dan lo que ve, también me gustó el servicio. Cliente contento, Feliz del vientre.

Great food especially the home made cheese and onion pies it's a clean environment and staff are really polite

Vinimos aquí para el té de las patatas fritas y guisantes pescado era preciosa tuvimos unas cuantas cosas fuera del menú todos sabrosos. personal realmente tenía un gran servicio al cliente volveremos aquí de nuevo.

Pescado fresco a la orden, unas patatas fritas, buena relación calidad-precio, volveré! La variedad de pescado en oferta especial

Tenía eglefino, patatas fritas y salsa de guisantes. No gusto a cualquier alguna

Having tried this chip shop 2 or 3 times before and been satisfied with the fish covered in lovely crispy batter we were more than eager to have the delicious meal again as we were both starving having been out all day shopping. I can't tell you what a disappointment this was, the batter was like a wet soggy sponge, uncooked, neither myself or my husband could eat any of it, needless to say we won't be going back there anytime in the future.

Great little chippy this one, there is always quite a queue which is testament to its popularity. Staff are really helpful, they like to take fish orders whilst you're queuing to avoid too long a wait. The food is absolutely delicious. Tasty and not greasy. Reasonably priced too.

A good old fashioned chippy. Fish cooked to order and always fresh chips available. Can highly recommend

Occassionally treat myself to a chippy lunch and this place is the best around here. Good choice of fish and always cooked fresh when ordered. Good rag pudding too as well as home made pies

Regular visitor to this chippy if I'm over this side of manchester. Fish comes in various large sizes to such an extent I gave up having fish and chips and started buying fish and peas so I could manage to get through it. Definitely the best fish you will get in a chippy in north manchester

Tried a few times and as always I've been dissapointed again. Chips where undercooked and gravey tasted of nothing. Yuck

There isn't many English chip shops in Oldham any more but I'm glad this one is going strong , amazing food
