Came to Chorley from Wigan to shop,and decided to have a chippy dinner,went into park and we had a picnic,don,t know what other people are reviewing,must be snobs that all I can say, 10/10 for food and value,see you soon chip shop of the year 2023,Mike,fay,Michele, Wigan,

When visiting chorley nothing beats having a mooch around the market with a portion of fish and chips from the finest chippy for miles around .Its a marvellous building with a sit in cafe upstairs and a dumb waiter delivery system that you dont see anymore.The prices are fantastic (£2.90 for a small fish and chips)and the icing on the cake is that they let you put your own salt and vinegar on.I implore you to grab yourself an open bag of fish and chips before these wonderful places disappear.

Ordered the plaice special which wad£6.20. This includes chips, peas, bread, a drink and a lovely large fillet of plaice. Fish and chips cooked well, not greasy and nice and crisp. Excellent mushy peas. Sat upstairs in the old school type dining room and served by 2 lovely ladies. Excellent food and value

Called in here by chance when shopping in Chorley. Ordered meat pie,chips, peas and gravy also got bread and butter and a mug of tea for the exceptional price of £5 . Couldn't believe the price and thought it wouldn't be that great but I was wrong. It was lovely and very substantial portions too. Only criticism was the lack of seating only 3 tables as the upstairs was closed. Will definitely tell people about this gem of a place.

A proper traditional chippy in the centre of town. Small seating area where I had a most delightful small fish, chips and peas with a drink for less than a fiver. Chips nice and crisp, fish lightly battered and very white and tasty. My chippy of choice in Chorley

found this place when we came to the market on tuesday. the best fish and chips we have had. noticed that most of the takeaways were ordering fish so it must have a good reputation, can't wait to visit again.

It was our first time in Chorley and first time at this fish and chip cafe. It was Tuesday and a busy market day. I notice people mention an upstairs area but that must of been closed due to Covid when we visited on 3rd Nov. We sat downstairs in a cozy area with three tables. Friendly staff who came and took our order of 2 x small fish, chips, mushy peas and 2 teas. Everything arrived after a few minutes and was all nicely cooked, fresh tasting and hot. Even though it was labelled as 'small' it was still a very good portion and for £4.50 each was very good value. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

For 4 pounds 50p you can have a small fish, chips, peas and a can of pop. Excellent value and more importantly good quality product. I really enjoyed

Been here a few times. Always sit in upstairs, proper fish and chips can pick your potion size ,always good cant fault well worth a visit

Having not had a chippy meal for a long time, and certainly not eaten one in the cafe for years, I called today with my daughter who fancied chips for lunch. I ordered the standard fish chips peas and a drink and it was cooked fresh and was just delicious! Glad these traditional chippies are still doing well - naughty but nice!

This is what I would call a proper chippy. Like a time warp from the early seventies. The female staff are a delight and more importantly the food is good. Had a small fish dinner which was cooked fresh and really tasty. Dining area both up and downstairs.

Visited here a few times and always had a lovely meal. Tuesdays tend to be quite busy so would recommend Wed or Thurs. Nice relaxed and friendly atmosphere upstairs and you’re always made to feel welcome by the lovely staff.

Used to use this restaurant/take away at least once a week but since the new owners took over I have used it less and less. Chips are greasy and all stuck together by the time you unwrap them and my last fish was raw in the middle. Have found an alternative so won't be back.

I have already said that another chippy if the best chippy in Chorley, well this is also the best chippy in Chorley, in my opinion. Go upstairs and eat in with a brew, simple pleasures. Reminds me of my Grandarents when we used to go to, I think, to this Chippy when it was on Livesey Street.

P{awsons has only had 4 owners in 60 years and they have all been good. Whilst it is a take away it has a cafe upstairs and down stairs, with lovely staff. One is never disappointed with a meal here

Bajo una nueva dirección, este es un gran lugar para un almuerzo de pescado y chip. La comida es preparada a la perfección, el mejor pescado crujiente y sabroso, como debe ser, las señoras que me atendió era muy amable y encantador. Si buscas un lugar para comer cuando se visita el mercado, este es el lugar. Volveré. . .

Cortado de para el almuerzo del otro día, excelente como siempre!He usado este café desde que era un niño con mi madre y que un largo tiempo. En esos días estaba en la calle e incluso thoiugh hill ha tenido propietarios sucessive, 4 en 60 años la calidad nunca ha disminuido.

I know I have said in other reviews "best chippy" well this one really is, especially for eating in. Proper Lancashire ladies serving a proper brew, with Fish, Chips and Musy Peas and a slice of bread. A proper gem in the heart of Chorley.

Nice little cafe upstairs . Very clean, good service, friendly staff nice fish & chips. No hasle. No waiting

The food is incredible, me and my family always love coming to such a homely place. Everyone is so caring and in my opinion it looks like everyone is really happy to be there. the owner is super lovely

On visit to Chorley Tuesday market and where for lunch try Pawsons Golden Plaice chip shop a short walk from the market.

Después de una mañana ajetreada de appinoitments en Chorley llamamos a este café. Nos sentamos en la zona de arriba y nos sirven de nuestra orden. Después de un par de minutos todos los otros comensales. Entonces comenzó la camarera de limpieza alrededor de nosotros. Placas de apilamiento y luego ruidosamente y fregado. Nos preguntó si podía esperar unos minutos hasta que había terminado. Ella contestó que estaba saliendo a las 2 de la tarde y también de personal no tenía nember llegó para trabajar ese día. Este fue en 1.35:00. Ella continuó con la limpieza por nosotros. No podíamos continuar con comida y decidimos irnos. Hablamos con alguien en el mostrador principal en el camino de salida y conseguimos una disculpa floja. Muy buenos modales y la comida era pobre no genial de cualquier manera

I dropped daughter and grandson at kevs wing tsun class at 550pm on chorley high St and needed something tasty fast . In close proximity was pawsons and Sir Henry tate. I weighed up the prices of both and opted for pawsons. Large cup of tea . Small fish chips and peas . £5.50 I was not disappointed. I asked for lightly battered fish and that's wat I got. I am amazed at the negative reviews. Best advice I can give is try it yourself and then you will see the negative reviewers have issues or just don't like the fact the new owners are Portuguese. Or maybe they just loved the previous owners. Who knows .

the best place to eat traditional fish & chpis . Good service friendly people.now they are open till 6 so nice

This used to be the best chippy in Chorley until it was taken over earlier in the year, the business used to to fantastic food and customer service but now the ladies that serve you are still all lovely but you can see they are clearly embarrassed by the standard of food that they have to serve, also the two people that are in charge have no idea at all how to serve food and run a business, cleanliness is also an issue here, you only need to look at the man frying the fish to understand this. All in all we will never step foot in here again and I would strongly advise that you don't either! Avoid at all costs

The quality of the chips served was poor to say the least. Two friends and I entered the shop and waited 5 minutes before even being served. When finally served, we had to wait another 10 minutes which is to be expected. After the wait, we were given chips that clearly had not just been cooked and were far from fresh. Many were, in fact, black and well over-done. Not only this, but they were actually cold.

This is the best chippy in the world bar none.We visit most weeks and the staff are like friends now. The fish chips and peas are all consistently amazing .

Great fish and chips, don't know about soggy chips, mine were great nice and tasty, just as chips should be and the batter on the fish was golden and crispy, The staff made me feel really welcome and it was a great atmosphere. I will be back x

After visiting the market we decided to have fish and chips from here, busy shop, fast turn over, average portion sizes and average food

Best chippy around, great value for money, fabulous service and very friendly staff. Very busy on market day .......

Sorry not particularly impressed by the chips and food here. All a bit soggy. Tiny plates with everything piled on top of itself.

Uno dei migliori fish and chips mangiati fino ad ora. Personale disponibile. Tipico arredamento inglese.

Great fish and chips and the chicken curry is amazing.We ate upstairs but I've been back for takeaway a few times since and it's always great.

fab food at fantastic prices, best chippy in Chorley !! Eat in or out, you still benefit from the same quality of service.

To eat in or take away always fresh and lovely fish and chips. Staff always friendly and helpful. If busy give your order to Emma at the door.

The best chippy restaurant in Chorley in my opinion.Very friendly staff,excellent service and value for money.

Ate in the café here last week, previously I have only ever had chips to takeaway which have always been nice. We both had the small special which cost around £4.50 for fish, chips, peas & a drink. The menu should read child's portion not small, I couldn't believe it when it was served on a side plate! While the chips were nice, the batter on the fish was thick & soggy & the mushy peas were thick & dry. In future if I want fish & chips to eat in I'll stick with the café at the big lamp chippy where the fish & chips are always tasty & you get a proper portion for the same price.

Chorley market day on Tuesday is the place to go for the most marvelous fish and chips at lunchtime if you are lucky enough to get a table! The shop also does take aways and has a restaurant upstairs in which it can be difficult to get a table on Market days however It is most definitely worth a wait though. Superb fish and chips, friendly and professional staff and very quick and attentive service. For my son who grew up with us in Chorley and our 6 year old grandson who now live in Holland it is the first place they want to go when they come over to visit. Delicious food and very reasonably priced too.

Great traditional chippy with restaurant downstairs and upstairs. Service great and excellent traditional fish and chip shop food.

We smelt fish and chips and decided to try some, the chips weren't to crispy and the fish was adequate far better then some other town chippys

we went to chorley this month and my partner was hungry so we spotted this chip shop that had upstairs and down stairs seating the shop its self was busy with take away customers the downstairs seating was full so we went upstairs and managed to get a seat and had a very nice meal each with very nice hot drinks
