Kings Lock Fish & Chips in Cheshire East

Not gluten free, serious risk of cross contamination, they only attempt to scoop up any bits of ordinary batter before cooking the gluten free fish. So if you are a coeliac with a low tolerance please be aware.

Second only to the chippy at the black country museum. All boaters you must stop and try it

Best fish and chips I have had in years just wish place wasn't 150 miles away

Great fish and chips. Friendly efficient staff.

Lovely staff and delicious gluten free fish and chips

Excellent quality food, all freshly cooked to order.

Just as I remember, after 23 years fantastic, my brother told me this is the best chip shop in the area, I agree great fish and chips

Bangin chips 👊 Gareth is a real great guy and the food is fantastic.There is usually a queue but that's for a very good reason! Cheers Gareth for keeping my engine running,great food everytime.

What a chippy brilliant staff allways nice make sure you get what you need and the FOOD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD

Fantastic food, so fresh as usual .

Gorgeous chips and take payment by card🥳

Beautifully cooked fresh fish with crispy batter. Chips were just right, and, with old fashioned scraps. No grease. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. I’m 72 and this meal was amongst the best I’ve had in a long time.

We were told to go here when passing through on our boat so we did. It’s very reasonable for fish and chips. The fish was a tad greasy, the chips were good and the curry sauce and peas were good. Also it was very hot, so worth going if you are in the vicinity.

The best Fish and Chips Shop around by far,and we live in Northwich

Very friendly experience. Great value for money. Gorgeous fish.

Brilliant, Just try it 4 yourself, its Brilliant. Staff r great too ,missing a treat if u don't try it .

They told me they were gluten-free chips mushy peas and fish as I have a bad reaction to wheat and barley rye so I trusted them on their word as they told me they change the oil each time and follow steps to make sure it is gluten-free sadly I can Confirm. They art gluten-free so if you are very sensitive to gluten like me keep away been so ill from just eating the chips due to chips being cook in same oil as other products not change it after each time they are cooked in it so been in contact with gluten foods it's sad as staff so kind to all there customers chips where nice even though stomach not very happy with me

On the way back from our vacation, we came across this fish and chips by chance. Well it was delicious, with very good value for money. The scampi was also perfect. The portion of medium frit is actually huge 😅. In short, nice surprise. You can eat on the terrace opposite. Ps: the kindness and efficiency of the team.

Passed this fish and chip shop today and on a couple of recommendations I bought fish and chips that evening. There was quite a queue which is always a good sign. The fella at the friers was very chatty and welcoming speaking to everyone who entered the shop. Servers were very friendly and smiled when taking orders and serving. The shop was clean and tidy and the fish and chips were first rate. Chips cooked to perfection. Batter was light and crispy and the fish was moist and fresh. One of the best chippies I’ve visited in years and would highly recommend it to anyone passing. They also sell pies, sausage and the like as well as gravy that looked really thick and rich. I intended to take photos but after the first bite it was gone before I knew it.

Whether you're the only person in (which doesn't happen often) or the shop is full and queuing outside you will be acknowledged as an individual. Staff are always polite. Food is great and can order ahead if don't want to wait. You will also receive a goodbye and take care as you leave. Really do value their customers!

Stopped off here on way through the area. Very pleased i did. The service was excellent and I was immediately asked if I wanted anything cooking. All fish is cooked freshly in front of you so I plumbed for the fish and chips with beans. Very very nice and a good size portion. I had a can as well and bill was £9.50. Good prices, excellent food and excellent service. Will definitely be back!

Freshly cooked fish & chips for our lunchtime visit, very good.

Soooo good fish lightly battered!!! Whole lovely haddock. Best ever!!!

Best Fish and chips ever!!! Staff are amazing, so cheery, chatty and helpful.

I stayed in Middlewich a few years ago, and the fish and chips were delicious. I was told that they still are, and was really looking forward to today's fish and chips. Sadly, for me, at least a third of the chips were dried out, the fish was dry and the batter was dry and hard. I'd gone in at about 1.20pm. They close at 1.45pm. The fish had already been cooked and was sitting in the warming cabinet. The best aces I have been to in the past year cook fish to order, so it is always fresh. If I do go there again, I'll go when it's busy, and their food doesn't have time to sit around drying out. Very disappointing.

Staff are always super friendly and helpful. The best fish and chips amazingly tasty , everything is always super hot and fresh .

The best gluten free fish I've had (and I've tried a lot). It's such a treat to eat batter again. Chips and great and a very generous portion. Friendly staff, amazing to watch on a busy Friday evening. Well done guys!

As good as you've heard. Very friendly staff. Just go! Probably have to wait a bit as there is always a que.

Fantastic both in quality and service. As always.

Totally the best chippy in Middlewich

The best fish and chips I've tasted! Really friendly staff. Brilliant!

First class service and quality food at a great price. Always guaranteed to get my business anytime I'm in Middlewich.

Don’t do take away or take out food but we do this chip shop for our fish and chips , owner and son and staff are friendly and the service is impeccable and the food is as it should be..

Great food, very friendly staff, and this makes the customers join in as well.

nice flakey fish in a very crispy batter and the right level of soft to crispy chip ratio. on top of that the staff are very welcoming and always up for a good chat.

It is such a great chippy, always greet everyone with a smile and the banter between staff and the frier is so good

Great, friendly staff and top quality food. Very busy, and with good reason!

Lovely fish and chips good price . I would highly recommend

Very friendly staff and delicious fish and chips 😋😋

Mega chippy, decent sized fish, everything really nice and tasty. Friendly staff, excellent service.

Best Fish and Chip shop in the area lovely food always done to perfection the staff are always polite helpful and friendly and 99% of the time there's always a queue wich says it all.

Moving up from the Southwest I was worried the chip shop’s up here wouldn’t cut it. We were pointed in the direction of the Kings Lock and have been nowhere else since, the shop is amazing. Food is great, portions and quality excellent, the staff are so friendly and efficient! Steak pudding…….Where have you been all of my life!!! No longer will I suffer with a crusty old Pukka pie!

Was just visiting the area, and the pub staff across the road recommended it as they weren't serving food. I ordered my food, then went back for a couple of pints and picked my order up right on their closing time. Lovely fish and lovely staff.

Best chips and fish cakes anywhere.. Great service and friendly staff.

Sensation meat and potato pie, chips and gravy. Friendly and efficient service. What more could you want from a chippy?

Good little place food always good. Bit of a pain to park or if the place is busy

It's really a good chippy but pricey

Hidden gem. , lovely fish and chips , friendly staff great price

Stopped at Middlewich overnight on my boat and decided to try the kings Lock chippy, First the young people serving were so friendly and then had the best fish chips mushy peas and curry I have had all year, amazing little chippy.

Best Fish n Chips on the Canal Network 👍😍

Regional food, family service, unique atmosphere.

Called in here today as i was passing through. Chips were nice and hot. Fish cake was over done and slightly black around the edges and the sausage tasted just of grease. Not overly impressed

Best fish and chips in the area

The fish and chip shop to go to, service a absolutely 💯 %. Fish and chips absolutely recommended 👌 😋

One of the best chippys I've been too. O ly had chips peas and gravy but it was sooooo nice, definitely going here again if I ever pass through.

We travel all over on our Narrowboat and this is something special, great food, very friendly service with a smile and a very good price. Cheers guys really enjoyed.👍

Really super fish and chips - can’t recommend highly enough

We drive from Salford, because the food is just that good. 👌

The food was great and good service.

Excellent service, lovely food. Highly recommend

The best fish and chips ever, and the staff are amazing

The fish, battered sausage and chips were fantastic, it's the best batter I've ever had. The service was exceptional as the staff are friendly and quick. The young guy cooking is a major credit to this establishment! He adds such a personal touch by being super nice and welcoming!

Great local folks preparing fresh cooked Fish and Chips! Wonderful....

Friendly staff, quick service and good food

Visited twice whilst passing through on our narrowboat. Massive queues both times, which is always a good indicator for decent grub. Amazing how quick the queues go down because of how well the staff (family I think) all work together, like a well oiled machine. Lovely people and great food. We had the chips, gravy, fish, and we were particularly impressed by the homemade fishcakes yum. Quality chippy, nice and fresh.

Proper chippy! We’re from Canada 🇨🇦 and always look forward to coming him when we rent a canal boat! We have put them on our YouTube page from our last visit! Such lovely staff!

Always helpful. Good phone servivee. Prompt. Lovely food.

Nice chips etc, but expensive to other chip shops.

Proper Chippy as they used to be ..good size portions. And responsibly priced staff very friendly. Manager too

We were passing through Middlewich on our narrowboat and called in about eight o’clock after a pint in the excellent Kings Lock opposite. There was a steady stream of locals but we were greeted with a friendly smile, and served quickly by a super efficient and friendly team. The fish and chips were 10/10. This “chippy” shows what excellent fast food and efficient service can be. WE’LL BE BACK!

Bloody beautiful fish and chips. Proper traditional English chippy . Thank you.

Tastiest fish and chips! Best chippy around with the best staff, always got a smile on their face no matter how busy they are.

Always busy but worth the wait. Don’t be put off if the queue is out the door not many people can fit in. Staff are very friendly and the fish and chips are great! Well recommended.

Was told by the pub opposite that this was the best fish and chip shop on the canal network. I think that they were right. The fish was haddock and the peas were very good - soaked by them every day. Very reasonable. Three small fish chips and peas came to £19.50.

Best traditional chippy in the local area. The owner and staff are polite and work hard to serve amazing food. It can get very busy in there but that just goes to show how good they are in comparison to the other fish and chip shops in the town. Food is always consistent and delicious and reasonably priced as well. Would highly reccomend.

Great fish and Chips and other savouries, friendly staff

Great chips here! Amazing service!

After a frustrating visit last December when we found the chippy closed, this year we were reassured by an up to date facebook entry with all the festive opening hours so called in on our way past. Great fish and chips as per previous visits, and happy cheerful staff.

Rang after not being well all over Xmas was pleased to find out it was open . Amazing food and the friendliest staff 5 star all the way . Thank you

Great Fish and Chips, friendly service every time.

Really friendly atmosphere so polite . Extremely good fresh food not a massive menu but enough for a traditional fish and chip shop very very reasonably price if in the area and fancy a quick bite I would highly recommend this small sometimes over looked chippy you won't be disappointed

Very efficient, very friendly staff, very tasty good and good value. Would not change a thing

Great chippy. A real traditional chip shop. You can tell it's good as there's always a queue. 🙂

I rarely have fish and chips but these were excellent. Great portion and really good fish.

Will always be known affectionately as Maults. Best chippy in town still.

It is a fish and chip shop run by locals. A large portion of fried fish costs £5.10, but after tasting the tender and smooth fish, you will feel that it is worth the money. Opposite is the canal lock water attraction, I believe there will be more customers during the holidays. , please note that the store will be closed after noon.

Fish and chips were perfect. You can pay by cash or card, and place an order by phone

Always nice, fresh food & curry sauce is lovely!

Nipped in on a Friday lunchtime whilst out working, got myself a scampi, chips, scallop and gravy, came to I think £6 which isn't too bad for value, good solid English style chips, proper scampi, nice fluffy yet crispy scallop and average gravy (wish I'd have gone for the curry tbh) however all in all a good chippy lunch. Staff pleasant, friendly and helpful and would definitely return when working out that way. Thumbs up 👍👍👍

The best chippy in the area and has been for years.

Great family run Chippy. My order was cooked for me straight away. Excellent fish and chips, best ever. The atmosphere in the shop was friendly and welcoming. I live a drive away but it will always be my first port of call for fish and chips.

Always get a greeting, and fish is cooked fresh to order

After queuing from outside, which is fine after 30mins I finally my turn to be served!. A phone order customer works in, their food is not made!.. so I am told to wait !. Not acceptable, I walked out and will never return!. This is not on!. Shame on you!

I have never been disappointed with this chippy a good portion size of fish and chips, freshly cooked battered fish white and flaky cod.

Lovely fish, the chips abit overcooked, we went in at 5.15pm

First time here. What an old fashion chippy. Love it. Fish and chips were the best I've had in a long while. Chips had taste.. Will be back. The wombling trucker

Gorgeously cooked fish chips & peas. Highly recommend

Now I have been going to this chip shop for years; good quality fish always; but today I don’t know what you did but the chips were fantastic, so good I had to comment, thank you, keep doing what you do, hard to get a quality chippy

Highly recommend! Great food, friendly staff, best fresh 'lightly battered fish' as requested, ever had

I really enjoyed the traditional fish and chip. Food quality is good and economical. Staff is very welcoming. I liked the countryside touch of the shop. Will dafinately try it again.
