Kelly's Top of The Town in Down

Great fish, curry chips and chicken burger.

This has to be the worst fish & chips ever. The fish smelt bad. Tasted bad. Was likely overcooked, it was the worst batter I’ve seen on fish. It’s was absolutely vile. Grumpy straight faced staff. Expensive. It’s certainly not top of the town it’s the bottom it’s terrible. Chips were chunky barely cooked & hard.

Tried all the top rated chippys in the town & had to come back here twice cause of the great quality of food served. They use maris piper spuds, the goujans are the best I've ever had & portion sizes are massive! You can split a meal between 2 no bother. Staff are very friendly too had a good chat with the bossman!

Family run chippy. It was nice to have somewhere dry to sit to begin with as it rained outdoors. The food was freshly made and though we had fish suppers, goujons, burgers and chips, the food came out at the same time And tasted wonderfully. All six of us ate every bite…too late to take a picture with our actual food. Highly recommend.

The only thing I can say bad about this. Place is they say a price for a burger and then charge you 50p extra for the container to put it in.

Fantastic chippy. Friendly staff and great service. The food is gorgeous and the cafe is nicely decorated. We'll definitely be visiting again

My fiancé and 3 children were in the restaurant area and our 10 month old child was sick and the manager had the worst possible customer manners made my children and my fiancé feel awful! Poor customer service and when I called to complain the manager /owner was so rude on the phone. Will never be back! How could they do that to a child

Food lovely not greasy, good portions. The staff are very friendly, toilets spotless.

Friendly atmosphere and excellent food 😋

Soggy hard chips... The worst combination you can get, honestly felt sick eating them. After trying and failing to find some chips that were cooked properly I went back in to get a new chip, only to get a snarky response about wanting mashed potatoes. Reading the reviews it seems I'm not the only one who's experienced this... you'd think a chippy would know how long to cook a chip for.

Very nice service. It's worth coming back here. Especially when you run down from the mountains hungry and run to catch the bus. Thank you again for the very fast service.

so grim, oily, greasy, not cooked the chips, mushy chicken nuggets, rude service (barely spoke), no flavour

Horrible customer service, would avoid. I stopped in with my husband this week and prior to ordering requested to use the restroom. The owner/counter associate was horrifically rude, trying to force me to order prior to using the restroom. Completely put me off even ordering there! Not to mention the place was completely empty, while Newcastle itself was bustling.

Good food, good price, friendly staff bit noisy the day we whent bikes haveing a ride out shook the place

The chips we got for our takeaway didn't look anything like the chips that were served to the sit ins, asked for a dip that we didn't get. But affordable and tasty.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service

Stinking. Cross the road and head to mccanns chippy. No1 in Newcastle for traditional fish and chip.

Not the place it was . Expensive. Charged £1 for curry having paid over £30. Thats poor service. No peas or lemon with fish. No takeaway boxes. Seems to becoming like a well known irish airline.

The food is usually excellent but on this occasion the fish was quite greasy

Great choice for gluten free food for my coeliac daughter. Very quiet as it was a cold Tuesday night but the owner knew we were coming as I phoned ahead and I think he stayed open for the four of us. Our meal was lovely, and the chips were proper chippy chips if you know what I mean, and loads of them. Would definitely go back.

Large portions but poor quality. Asked for well done but got my fish and the batter was wet on inside .

Great portion sizes , was easy to park and sit in take away option. Chippy

We received a very nice welcoming from the owner ,my wife and I had ulster fry was amazing, the lady who served was was very present, best fry we have had in long time 10 out of 10

Food was beyond greasy and undercooked. A shame as the service was great.

Unbelievable value for money, only chippy in town that gives huges portions and enough to feed a whole family. Beautiful food too. And lovely staff .

Staff was very helpful but this fish and chips shop serve tasteless fish. I can’t work out how this place has got good reviews. The fish was old and frozen while the chips were good and tasty. That all I have to say.

Great food & very friendly owners, scampi & chips was excellent & well priced

The in house seasoned Southern fired chicken is a must- fresh and delicious. Fantastic family run business. Felt very welcome even though it was near closing. Recommended by locals.

Food is great not as expensive as a lot of other places the portions are big and freshly fried the staff are very pleasant

Lovely traditional chips. Generous portions and very friendly staff. The complete opposite in other words to corporate fast food outlets. We'll be back.

Fish was hard and had a really odd taste. Chips were also unpleasant. Maybe just a bad day but I genuinely have never had worse fish and chips and couldn’t finish them. Had been looking forward to some lovely Northern Ireland fish and chips but definitely chose the wrong place.

Got the sausage supper, was absolutely divine, mum got the fish and chips and loved it too.

The best fish supper I've had in a long time. I will definitely walk to the top of the town the next time I visit Newcastle.

Best chips we have tasted 😋 food was amazing, service was fast. Definitely will be back.

Was told i couldnt drink the bottle of lucozade in my hand . Then further told me to remove it from the table. Can see why the place is empty. Wont be back

Excellent food as usual and a friendly welcome

Lovely food great service highly recommended

Tasteless fish . Soggy chips . Chicken coujons were not to bad

used to go there but now charged £1.60 for a glass of tap water with my cod and chips.

Fish supper is great. Always has been.

Friendly staff. Lovely fish supper. Great Pastie. Likely the best onion rings I have ever had. Soft onion. Crisp batter with a very slight zing. Huge rings. Big portion. Great. Would give more stars if I could.

This place is amazing best food and service I seriously recommend going to this place

Best quality service and amazing food definitely recommend it

All of us were I'll the next day 🤮

Best fish n chips 🍟 😋 ever and curry sauce

5 stars all say long. Splendid fish supper cleaned the plate. Great pot of tea too.

I sat in Kelly's top of the town with my wife and 15 year old son on a Saturday evening and we all had fish and chips and a wee tub of curry each and I have to say it was the best chippy food I've had in a very long time, the staff are all older and know how to do the stuff exactly to perfection, they are also very nice to order from, we would all highly recommend this place if your are look for bite to eat in Newcastle 😁👍

Great wee place. Friendly staff and food is delicious and the portions are good as well. Definitely be back

Hi everyone ,. I am not a friend or family. Kelly's Top of the Town Newcastle Co Down,. Home made chips,. Good fish,. No point in going through the menu,. Chips very good,. Fish very good,. For good chips you need good spuds and the same for good fish,. So dear friends Kelly's fish & chips get a 10 out of 10,. From me,. And I have bought fish & chips for other's friends and they say good food from Kelly's,.

Taco & chips 1st time for me but was good eating..... Clean, Saff were very nice food was excellent Well done 😊

Creepy owner, asked to “show” kids to order meal:) meal is average

Best chippy in Newcastle great food cheap prices and perfect location. Still thriving and still the best

The food was amazing,really big portions and great value for money,staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Called in to check it out, got a fish, lady who served me was lovely. The fish was DELICIOUS, fish was succulent, the batter was dry n crispy even though I had a 10/15 MIN WALK

Went there one evening and we've been before and we'll come again! Barely finished the meal since it was so large, I recommend sharing a fish supper - it's enough for even guys to share! The place is kept clean, which also includes the nicely kept toilets. Would recommend it to anyone who's in the area and is hungry for some proper fish 'n chips!

Well worth the money we all had fish and chips.

Great food lovely people but no pie's

This was the best pasties and chips I've had in a long time. No greasy smells, owner told us they cook your food when ordered , so totally fresh. Lovely place and will be back. Highly recommend anyone to sample their food.

Wonderful food and plenty, staff friendly.

Top class food I don't need to say anything else just love it

I have had good fish and chips from here any time I call. Good size of portions and cooked while you wait carefully. I haven't tried anything else.

Food was great, and place very clean Trevor

Called in for a fish supper. Very pleasant staff. Quick service, but well cooked food. Notice on window states "generous servings" this is very true box was full; staff added tape to stop box bursting open. Will be back.

Decent portions, good value, tasty homemade food. Tables disinfected between each customer. Friendly staff Has kids menu and indoor seating. Also serves coffee. Nice place for quick dine in fast food

Very nice place and friendly staff

Very good service very clean and friendly

The Best Onion Rings I've ever tasted ,-- and on a quiet Monday evening !!!

I was told not to visit, after friends had bad experience. but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Sorely disappointed! The food was okay, but when they served the child's cod bites and chips on a small plate, stacked with no room to spread, I went up and politely asked for a larger plate. Was refused and brushed off towards a sign that said extra postshey were a pound extra, as that would mean I was _sharing_ that small plate. They knew I had my OWN meal, so who was she sharing with? No-one there to share with! I said it was just so we could cut the 5 yr old's food to cool it down. But no, they flatly refused. Had to start cutting the cod bites on the napkin :( Afraid I cannot recommend. Avoid.

Great food and friendly people. You won't go home hungry

Lovely staff good value for money lovely food

Unreal and u will not leave hungry

Nice food in Newcastle not 2 big and not 2 small of a place

If I could give zero stars I would a large family of us went in for a bite to eat with hardly no one sitting we were told they are to busy to serve us... Now as I said there was at max 14 people if a sit in chippy can't cope with that amount people they seriously want to look into a different profession... Absolutely fuming especially with young kids

Great value. Freshly cooked food. Highly recommend.

Really slow and fish a bit greasy

Been open in Newcastle for a few years now and only recently tried it but have to say now its the best chippy in Newcastle for value and thier fish is amazing. You need to try their onion rings aswell they are the biggest iv ever seen. Amazing.

Worst chips ever got very slow service

Brilliant staff very clean sitting area, food was Gorgeous. Will go back again. Thank you Anothny Bernie & Mona, & Laura.

A great place and great food aswell

Great sized portions and friendly staff. Love it.

Friendly staff & service. Lots on the menu to choose from. Once my order was taken, my family & I sat down at a table. Not long after sitting down we got our meals, freshly made where we could see our food being prepared for us, we received a good generous portions of food. Kelly's top of the town sells beautiful tasting food. Kelly's top of the town, tells you exactly where Kelly's is situated, In Newcastle County Down.

Tasteless food. I bought a combo with scampi, salad and chips, and even the scampi wasn’t nice.

The food there was amazing! An amazing food proportion! Would reccomend going there if u want the best fish and chips ever!(in my opinion)

Amazing food quality! The hygiene quality is amazing!

Good food Best chips ever food freshly prepared lovely staff and owner very friendly who has time for a chat love Kelly's chip shop

Amazing food Great prices Really friendly staff

Local , Family run and food is brilliant. Great staff very welcome and pleasant not to mention the portions! Won't move after a feed in here! Onion rings are class!

Great chips and the pastie was huge!!!!

Very good service and big quantity! They take realy care about the product. Onion rings and mushrooms always will be a good choice. Try the pepper sauce or curry sauce with the goujons.

Best chip shop in the town with great customer service! Very attentive.

Family run Chippy with food cooked to perfection with care.

Nice polite helpful staff,food very good 👍

Excellent spot!! Really friendly service and excellent food. The taco mince chips are phenomenal!!! Will be back!

Lovely food. Kids meals are massive. Brilliant value for money. I will definitely be back. Much better than john macs

Fantastic quality food. Very happy

The Southern fried chicken is perfect, we go to Newcastle frequently and always get our dinner from Kelly's. Proper chippy!!

Good local food at low prices with a few nice meal deals. Would recommend anyday.

Wow. The best I've ever had. Drove to Newcastle on a day trip, heard this place was decent and seen the good score. It really is that good. You don't know how amazing a chippy can be til you've tried them. I'm not even a local and this blows all my local chippies out of the water. Go there.

Place was a bit grubby and its getting expensive now but food is still lush

Had fish and chips here tonight. Staff were lovely and the place was spotless. Fish and chips were delicious...and got a free helping of onion rings! Would recommend!!!
