Old Road Chippy in Oldham

Ordered on Uber Eats, food took over an hour to get here and when it got here the chips were soggy, and warm at best. Not exactly cheap for what it is either, I paid £12 for some chips and a sausage.

This evening I tried Old Road Chippy, but unfortunately, it was one of the worst chippy chips I’ve ever had. Most chips were hard and lacked basic seasoning, no salt or vinegar, which left them tasteless. As a former chippy manager, I know that putting real chips into a box, then wrapping them in paper, is a mistake. This traps steam, leaving them hard instead of pleasantly soft and slightly soggy as they should be. Chips should be wrapped in paper alone to achieve the ideal texture. With a few adjustments to seasoning and packaging, the experience could be much better. But currently avoid avoid avoid.

Ordered over an hour ago, called up and they said its being prepared and gonna be sent out. They are 5 mins drive away! I asked to cancel and refund they HUNG UP ON ME! I tried everything i could to cancel and they wouldn't let me. Then when it got here it was the fish was raw, batter was raw, all the chips are burnt and battered sausage was soggy. Absolutely disgusting both food, and the attitude of the place, not even the dog would touch this.

This chip shop takes money off customers and refuses to deliver the food and consequently screams at customers down the phone. Would not advise

Think I’ve just eaten the worst chips I’ve ever had! They told me it would be a 10 minute wait as they were cooking a fresh batch… I was absolutely fine with that, I brought them home and they were inedible, soggy and seemed to taste like they were just reheated in the microwave. Awful. The staff need to cheer up as well! Never again.

Food was Good but you put way too much Salt on pies 🥧 apart from that it’s was ok

Tasty as always. Huge fish, I'm addicted to the English Curry 😁

Absolutely lovely food as always 👍

Shocking, wouldn’t order again. Ordered a pie meal. Pie, chips, gravy and a drink. Was due to be delivered between 19.10-19.30, app said food had been delivered at 19.30, it arrived at 19.55. Paid cash on delivery. For close to £15 I received chips and gravy. No pie, no drink. I rang up again after questioning where my order was initially, I was told that I would get a call back and the order would be redelivered, it’s 21.05 I don’t think that it’s coming. Most expensive chips and gravy ever!

Food was good quality, definitely got my moneys worth. However the communication from the just eat app was off and I only got confirmation my order was confirmed an hour after I ordered it and the driver was already on his way. Apart from that food quality was great

Food was piping hot and plentiful

It was a great evening meal, my only complaint was that some chips were small and hard. Otherwise, I would have scored 5 stars

Food was a little cold 🥶 would love to see chicken and mushroom 🍄 pies on the menu plus bring back the cake 🍰

absolutely the best fish and chips it was delicious found my new chippy!❤️

Ordered at 6.45 delivered at 8.50 cold, dry a real let down as I’ve eaten fresh from this chip shop and it’s lovely

Half my order missing waited over and hour and half food delivered like it’d been jumped on. Would not recommend

The battered sausage was disgusting and the batter was hard. the chips were hard and the curry was congealed. Won't be ordering from here again

Good clean Fish and crispy chips.

I ordered a steak pie charged for it did not get it😖

Ordered chips n gravy and barm , got home mouse droppings on the barm.. the lot went straight in bin!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Delivered very quickly by nice guy the food was hot and delicious everything was great excellent service tonight thank you so much 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely lovely food chips were perfect the fish was nice and fresh and cooked perfectly so was the scampi portion sizes were mega too deffo ordering from them again

Fish was Lovely but all the other food i ordered was cold 🥶

Waited an hour and 15 mins for the food to arrive from placing the order. Restaurant ignored my phone calls.

Food was horrible, chips were stale as and barley cooked and the batter on the fish felt and tasted like cardboard. Never ever ordering again!

Food was excellent tonight delivered on time nice and hot thank you for the cans too excellent service thank you 😊👍

I had missing items,food was cold ,peas tasted like water !! Honestly would not advise anyone going here would definitely not be recommended to anybody unless they want to be dissatisfied

Missing 2 cans of Rio plus chip beans and curry all cold 🥶 not good service tonight not happy about the missing cans of Rio 😕

Food was late but staff did call me to let me know it was going to be late it was delivered by nice young lad with an apology for being late the food was great no complaints it was nice and hot the fish was delicious thank you so much this is a great chippy 💖

Food took over an hour to arrive which was too late we had to cook food in berween so food was no longer needed

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! Order never came but said delivered.

Lovely food, big portions and all hot and fresh

Chips was cold tonight unfortunately 💙

Ordered a Chicken burger meal, which came with fries. I was kinda expecting chips since this is a chip so, but nice to see the menu description matched in this case. Also ordered a portion of scampi, coz it's very good from here.

food was delicious definitely recommend and would order again

Great food every time thanks ❤️

first order had things missing. rectified it within reasonable time. Very nice food. Will definitely use again when visiting Manchester 😊

The scampi was excellent. That sausage was fine, enough, but the chips tasted a bit off - iunno how to describe it. Some were okay, others were like, earthy - maybe they were old patatoes or something? As for the drink that was missing entirely.

Food was excellent the Fish from here is delicious pies are nice and fresh chips are lovely beans curry and gravy are delicious too this chippy needs to be on the Best Manchester chippy list it’s way better than any of my local chippys excellent service too thank you for the great service and food keep the good work up ❤️😋👍

a little late but understandable and well worth the wait. best chippy in manchester, ordered last night & im getting another one today cause i love em so much☺️💕

10 out of 10 arrived on time food was beautifully cooked and hot absolutely delicious couldn’t fault a thing definitely recommend

Second time ordering from this chippy and I have to say it is beautiful the fish is gorgeous always arrives hot fresh and very tasty can’t fault this place we won’t go anywhere else now for fish and chips x

Best chippy near us. Always good food.

beautiful fish and chips are great

if read reviews first wouldn't order but glad we did our fish was fine all 3.. chips fine and sausage chips gravy fine the curry bit thick but can add hot water if needed

I hope my order not cold it's been on route 30 minutes

food was amazing will defo order from here again

Food was great again delivered by nice guy came piping hot great portion size too lovely Thank you 👍 😋

Great food tonight very enjoyable thank you so much 5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Once again, the food was fantastic. As somebody who owns a café bar in Bury, also on Just Eat, you'll find that some of the negative reviews that you read are sadly set up by competitors who clearly can't compete. Trust me when I say, this is the best chippy in the area by far.

Excellent arrived on time, food was hot and fresh will definitely use again

All hot and enjoyable no complaints ThankQ

food was beautiful. delivered hot aswell.

The chips came stale only managed to eat half and barely any cheese on them

If I got a sponge, deep fried it and then left it to soak in grease it would likely still be more edible and taste better than the fish I had from here. Just really really poor food.

First time order ... wasn't that good chicken burger and chips ( not chips, French Frys cold and nasty ) beef burger was nice ... battered sausage nasty over cooked over warmed up, but on the plus side chips was nice .if only I knew about chips wouldn't of ordered the chicken burger and chips ( French Frys) English curry nice but small portion..over all negative rating I have given 2 stars for food 5 for delivery came 10 mins early ...so will not be a bad rating overall. not for me .sorry.

Sorry for the late review, we had this last night, and it was absolutely delicious it arrived on time it was really hot couldn’t fault it at it all the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time I will definitely order from here again, thank you Old Road chippy 🙂

Ordered a sausage and chip meal. Sadly the sausage was beef, and not pork. Still decent, but I prefer the latter.

Ordered fish and chips twice. It came with a ton of chips, and was a decent meal.

Tried ring got no answer some of the order was missing muffin was full of mold spots no drinks came too

Been several times and it’s always been mediocre, last time I went chips were inedible, returned and they stayed that’s just how they are? Got money back and won’t return again after that.

It was cold and my drink was missing

everything was so tasty and the fish was exceptional 😋

Paid for two fish and chips , got fish and fries instead 😢. Only realised it when I opened the boxes at home … Bit sad , did not expect having to check boxes before leaving the shop . to reply to your respond , no , I ordered Fish and CHIPS as I always do . If i wanted fries , would have gone to Mcdonalds ….

I paid fifteen pounds and the food never arrived

really good chippy huge fish lovely chips proper mushy peas highly recommended

Great quality. Hot and fresh on delivery. Friendly driver too.

Food was really nice however a portion of chips from my meal was missing

Food was ok. Overall it was cold, the batter was chewy not crispy and the fish was dry, chips soggy and wet and curry portion on the smaller side. Chips and fish portion were great for a regular size. The taste of the food was good however, and the staff were nice when I called to check on my order (only stayed as order accepted, not preparing). I think it would be great if the food was picked up and ate immediately.

chips was horrible and chicken was very spicy but never stated it would be on app I couldn't eat it I suffer with digestive problems

Really lovely food. Just what a chippy should be like. The fish was spot on and the curry sauce was great. Chips were perfect. Definitely ordering from here again.

I was greeted by a goddess at the till. Thank you for the chips and for even sparing me a glance. Next time I'll bring you a fish pie. ;-)

absolutely delicious, definitely best chippy we've had

Food was good but order was wrong sadly

Best chippy. Never disappoints x

Got a delivery via Uber, have used this place before without any real issues, then today I ordered some food and they delivered the food 40 minutes after the estimated delivery time, when my food finally arrived I mentioned this and I was told the chippy was busy and I live along way from the shop, no apologies nothing, also completely and totally not an excuse as I’ve already mentioned I’ve used this place via Uber before and they’ve managed to deliver the food within the time stated. As a result of the long wait my food was stone cold, and downright unpleasant to eat. I won’t be using your chippy ever again now, you get once chance with me when food is involved and you’ve spoiled it for me now, however, I’m not going to try to discourage anyone else from using your shop, I’m just not like that, so, anyone else, make your own mind up.

takeaway need check order curry sauce missing and gravy missing and 5 can off coke missing last time order off them

cold food and missing a can of tropical rio, I wish orders would be checked properly before being sent out

The order arrived hot and slightly early. The chips, curry sauce and battered sausage were very nice. The fish was slightly tough and chewy as were the chicken strips. However, overall was nice and would order sausage and chips again.

I really enjoyed the Chinese curry and chips. Good size portion and very tasty.

The fish is nice but the chips really need to improve they are BAD

Ordered a big meal today for whole family, can’t say if 5 stars are enough. Banging food, best fish and chips

Sadly we were disappointed, as the the last time we ordered from here it was excellent, this time the chips were not very warm and quite hard and crunchy as if they been left in the warmer too long and the pastry on the pie was hard also felt it had been left warming too long, 😢

First time trying and by far the best chippy we’ve had in a very long time! Portions are huge and food was hot/ fresh! Thank you :)

Savoury food was a good portion size but dessert was a disappointment and that's not chocolate fudge cake. Driver was friendly, thank you m

Order was 30 minutes late, food was cold and order was wrong. Not good.

Food was late and cold tried to contact restaurant and both numbers are out of service shows how unorganised the company is, pot of gravy wasnt big enough to cover a portion of chips and chip themselves were dry and the fish was greasy with soft batter

Waited over 1 hour for the food even though its 7 mins away and I asked for salt and vinegar even added it on the note and still gave me none, the sausage was so dry and gravy was cold by time I got to it and the chicken burger had so many hard bits it nearly broke my tooth

Food was nice. Arrived 25 minutes late though and only 1 bag of onion rings when I ordered two. Good food though

Awful fish, drink wasn’t brought never order again

Never will order from there again 🤢🤮soggy fish and chips are dry and saugages look anaemic wasn't cooked yuk.. and didn't bring the drinks fuming..

food was nice hot freshly cooked 100% recommended

Food was perfect, hot and fresh.

Most definitely the worse place I’ve ate from

It was Bank Holiday Friday, they were very busy, so busy they had to stop taking orders for a while. Our food was a little late but they were very apologetic. Food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Many thanks 👏👏👏👏🏆

Brilliant food 10/10 from the kids 👍🏻

Fish was eatable. Chips was absolutely horrid. Really tasted microwaved

Food was good but I ordered before 5pm and the food didn't arrive until around 6.40pm. The original delivery time was 5.40pm.

Food was fine but £7.50 for just a Fish and a side of curry sauce? We thought we’d at least get a couple of chips with it. Not great.
