Peps Plaice in Wolverhampton

We as a family have used this chip shop for many years, and we do have a big order every Friday, unfortunately the quality has definitely gone down these past few weeks, the chips were very dry and seemed stale, not thick and juicy, just little scraps basically, the fish tasted different like they have changed something, the only good thing was the batter on the fish. I tried some chips from a different meal and they were all the same. Our order was £36, we came back with all the food and requested a refund, which was kindly given. The only good thing I’ve noticed is there is not many queues anymore. Just for reference we came in on the 20/12/24 @ 1700pm. Off to find a new Chippy, Shame really as Peps was the only decent one around here.

If you want good food you have to come during opening hours. I was there last time about an hour before closing. I'm afraid I couldn't have had worse food. The meat was dry, tough and hard to bite. It was not a pleasure to eat. Instead of giving customers leftover dry meat just to get a few pounds they should throw it away and tell me they're out of it. I'm really disappointed with their attitude and what I got.

Nov 2024 - had new owners recently and the quality has gone downhill. Shame really as Peps was the best chippy around. Hopefully new owners will get their act together but been twice now and food wasn’t good at all.

This is a well-known place in the area. Often known to be very busy at times. It has recently undergone new ownership, and I can safely say there has been no deterioration in the quality of the food.

Really happy to see that the food is still delicious since the owners have changed. Really friendly staff and I hope you do well and maintain the high standards.

I returned from holiday abroad and fancied fish n chips as there was nothing in the house and I was starving. I’ve used Peps occasionally over the years and it’s always been fabulously fresh and of a high standard. Today, the fish looked different eg smaller and less flaky batter, the chips looked the same. Upon tasting, the fish was fine but the chips were awful! The taste was horrible, really awful, maybe the oil is different or is being used more times, I’ve no idea. I certainly hope the new owners address this. It was such a good reliable business before.

You can't beat the OG of chip shops! Used to go there on my lunch break from school nearly 30 years ago. Still popping in now with family 30 years later. Always on top form.

Absolutely fantastic. Food is everything you could as for, fresh, tasty and on point. Lovely customer service, worth the wait!

Genuinely brilliant food at a very respectable price, would recommend to anyone, despite the lack of area to eat in it is brilliant food and i really like the food.

Great choice on the menu, delicious food, lovely staff who are always friendly. Highly recommend.

Great fish and chip shop, they do great kebabs too. Always busy

Sadly overpriced and not value for money. Chips were limp and oily and fish was soggy. Mini fish and chips £7 and large fish with small amount of chips underneath £11. Must of been overcharged as large fish and chips separately is cheaper?! Live locally but won’t be returning. Shame.

Peps chippy great place, lovely bloke 👍, very friendly staff , great atmosphere. Highly recommend this "plaice" 👌 food is always top notch 12/10 👌 .

Had fish and chips, wish I had not bothered. Fish was bland and the batter soggy, despite they did not add salt and vinegar as requested. Chips were dry and tasteless. Will definitely not be returning I'd rather thrown money directly in the bin.

Chips were not nice at all and the kebab meat was cold and I asked for mint sauce and mayo and there wasn't hardly any on my foo, I had to add my own. The rest of the family had fish and chips and the fish was bland and greasy. Needless to say not going their again

The chips were not what they used to be, very disappointing and inedible. Battered chips but tasted awful and definitely not the usual standard. £7 for mini fish, chips and tiny pot of curry sauce which must only be a tablespoon. I hope peps improve on this, I will go again but they are in last chance saloon with such poor quality tonight. Such a shame as they used to be the best around. Fish was nice however batter was very soggy, definitely a mini fish aswell, could easily mistake it for a fish finger.

In all the years I´ve been coming down to Compton to get my Fish and Chips, Pep´s Plaice has never, ever disappointed, whether it´s on quality (I´ve not had better fish, more `just right,`not too thick, not too thin batter), price (I´m sure you can find a cheaper chippy, but not for the same quality), portions (seiously, 2 large chips will easily do 4 hungry folk, or 6 normal mortals) or service (on a Friday evening, with a fast moving queue out to the canal bridge, the heat of the fryers and the noise of the crowd, the staff are all still incredibly attentive). I can only recommend Pep´s and hope they carry on as they are! back home over Easter, so looking forward to popping in soon!

Dropped a few stars... Kebab meat and salad used to be lovely, but now be prepared to chop up some salad when you get home. plenty of meat but very little salad. ☹️

Freshly cooked, well priced food. There is always a queue at busy times but it's with the wait. It's nice that a lot of the packaging is recyclable too.

Had a pie and chips , the pie was hard on the crust, couldn’t eat it and the bottom was soggy and salty and the chips were undercooked

Wrote a review in April as standard seemed to have dropped but quality is back to being fab … great fish and chips and fantastic service as always

What on earth was this Peps. Regular customers. Disgusting. Soggy batter. Peppered chips! Please train your new staff as quite a turnover of staff on a very regular basis. What a waste of money. Really disappointed in you. Have photo if you and customers need to see this. Refund request made.please

Great fish and chips as usual. There's a reason it's always popular

The fish is real cod & not the stuff out the sewers that many other shops are serving as “cod”.

Best chippy in wolves, right next to the canal too

Didn't find the food particularly nice, especially considering it was quite expensive

Went on a Friday late night. A few drunk customers around. Chips were really rubbery and the fish was awful. Give this a miss for sure. Especially late in evening.

Good food,big portions. Good service, even when really busy.

Always a queue. Decent fish and chips

Good place, clean nice staff. Peps cool. Kebabs are top notch! Not to greasy at all

Rude girl serving. Oily hard chips and watery fish. Overpriced food.

Best chip shop in Compton woverhampton... immaculately clean ....friendly staff...and amazing food

Love this chippy. Staff are friendly and very efficient and the food is always good quality. Obviously prices have gone sky high everywhere recently so it's more of a treat now than a weekly visit.

We started buying fish and chips from here last year and since then the portion of the large fish is getting smaller by the day, but the price is increasing on the other hand. Which is extremely disappointing. I would go back to new bridge.

A really lovely fish and chip shop. I live a few mikes away but much prefer this chippie to others in the area. Beautiful clean place, lovely fish and great chips!

This chippy is beyond the pale with their prices. Over £16.00 for small fish and chips, and roe and chips. Have been coming here for years but will never visit again. Disgusting rip off, especially when you can buy a large tin of roe for £6.00 which contains at least 6 servings. No excuses Pep, you've been rumbled. Give this shop a wide berth.

A chippy I have been going to for years because it’s the best of the best!!!! Family run, top quality service & food. Any bad reviews on here must’ve caught them on a seriously bad day because I have been coming here for years and have never had a problem. This shop is never not busy and that says it all! When Pep retires - put it this way, there will be some very upset people including me!!

Staff do great job. Very efficient. Food is very good

We went for our tea the chicken was so dried up it was just so dry. The chips were disgusting tasted like they had been sat around for days never again everything went in the bin. This place is just getting worse absolutely disgusting for the price you pay

Friendly staff, decent food. Not badly priced.

Used to be the best fish and chip shop around, without doubt. Having been coming here for years . Recently have began to feel shortchanged. Large fish is no longer large, there’s really not much difference to the small. Batter doesn’t seem the same, chips have lots of little fried bits and prices have gone up a lot. I am ndetstand orices need to go up, but the quality has definitely gone down… a lot. As a regular that’s hard to say!

All way great food. Hot and tasty and staff aways friendly.

Favourite chip shop in the area. Excellent quality food and good service.

Had a mini fish, cone of chips, pot of curry sauce and a peice of chicken breast. Wow! 🔥 Absolutely F amazing! 🔥 Best chippy food in Wolves in my opinion.. because if you ain't tried Peps then your missing out big time! Had to try them out as my cousin's are chippy regulars here and always say good things about Peps.. I'm from Lower Penn/Springhill so my local is Penn chippy or chip stop who aren't bad either, but Peps is next level, Lovely well mannered staff too 🔥 Good job I was on my last drop in Compton on deliveries for the day. Bangin food, made me a regular, thank you! 👍

Excellent quality chips, incredible SF Chicken, friendly staff and quick service. The queue only gets long because of how good it is compared to other chippys in the area.

Nice chips, fast friendly service, good value

Service is very good; staff are highly friendly and work with high attentiveness; pricing is very good; the food is fresh and very tasty

10/10- will never go anywhere else! Best chippy in the West Midlands.

Ordered chips & 3 portions of chicken, the guy turned round & said ive put 4 pieces of chicken in for you. Chicken was really nice aswell cheers.

The food was really good, I ordered a doner meat in naan. Was really busy, but they have a lot of staff, which meant I wasn't waiting long. Usually a bit out of the way for me but was local to it Friday night, so I gave it a go as it was previously recommended. Definitely worth the travel 😃

Definitely recommend the mixed meat and chips. Does get really busy though.

The best kebab meat in the West Midlands by far!!! Spot on. Will be coming here more often

Great chips, possibly the tastiest in wolves. Both owner and staff very friendly and a good menu choice from a traditional chippy.

No complaints, Fish and Chips were 10/10. Usually big queues on weekends and some evenings, however this goes down fairly fast and is definitely worth the wait. Thanks guys!

Best Chip Shop In the Area with Excellent Staff and Reasonable prices. Food tastes excellent.

Delicious food, tasty chips and delightful cod, that melted in our mouths. We'll definitely be back!

This has to be by far the best chip shop in Wolverhampton . Yes there was a queue for about 15 minutes but that just shows how good the food is as people are willing to wait , even in the rain. If you want excellent food and great service then peps plaice is where you need to go .....ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT in every way .

Excellent fish and chips!! Chips are so tasty, hot and fresh!

Rude people and flies flying round in the back

Just so you know Peps Plaice chip shop that rules from a great height. First things first... The Chips. I'm new to the delight of Wolverhampton chippies but even though battered chips aren't a Birmingham staple I've experienced them enough to know when they are exceptional. These are just that. Just enough to add an Extra level of taste but not make you feel like you're eating your way to an early grave. That said I would suggest sharing a large bag between at least two people or going for a cone of chips to accompany your choice of fish. So how about the fish? Well when fresh the batter is light but strong enough to hold the ever so light cod within. When not as fresh out of the fryer the batter soaks up the vinegar and softens while the cod holds its flakes. Peps Plaice really put the effort in and when they are busy they have plenty of great staff to serve you as quickly and as friendly as possible. Even the curry sauce and gravy stand out from the crowd. The quality is way higher than most inland chippies so in my opinion they are not to be missed.

Best fish and chips ever!! As a matter of fact, everything they sell.

Amazing food. Fresh and tasty. My new number 1.

Great food, that isn't drenched in fat! There is generally always a queue which I believe to be a good thing. Despite a queue, it always moves quickly. The girls that work in there are super polite and always very helpful.

Great value, great quality, great service.

proper battered chips, decent portions kebab meat was delicious

Brilliant value for money. portion sizes are lovely and big and food was of utmost quality. Very highly recommended.

Local chip shop, chips r fresh, fish is good, long wait times on Friday evenings.

Our first time here, so we went for the mixed kebab meat with chips in a tray special. Amazingly delicious and very good portions too. We will certainly be going again soon. 😋 Very good value for money.

The best local chippy, even Mikey Dunn think so 👍🏻

good quality chip shop good deals

Chips not as nice as they used to be.

Food is excellent , but staff should wear a mask !

Best chippy within 4 mile. Quite cheap, good portions and worth the 8 mile travel. Still best chippy, go in weekly.

Staff were friendly and efficient and the food was excellent.

Moved into the area in the summer. Used this chippy a few times now and it is just great. Quick service, food readily available (not kept waiting for fish or chips to cook like many other places). Always plenty of staff working to ensure queue moves quickly

The food is well portioned and so crispy. On a weekend expect 15 to 20 min ques at peak times but this goes to show how perfect Peps Plaice has managed to get it's fish and chips. It is the best place to go.

There are not many as good as Peps. This is 5* fish n chips. Plenty of choice. Expect to queue on popular days & times. Well worth the wait.

The best fish and chips I've had in a long while!

Standards have dropped A lot! Just ordered kebab and chips and it was like someone just scooped all the ends of the kebab meat, absolutely dreadful. Went all they way back to complain, the owner couldn’t be bothered and walked off leaving the staff to “help” #noshitsgiven very disappointed 🤢😤

Friday night treat - shop was busy but took that as a sign of good food, I was not disappointed was stuffed will definitely be returning

Nice pleasant staff, food to order.

Great fish and chips. Staff on it and shop very busy. Seems very popular. Fish is fresh with great batter. Will definitely use again.

Delicious fresh fish and chips with fast and friendly service...best we've had! Don't be put off by the queues, the staff fly through it. Obviously a popular choice.

Love the kabab and chips good size for your money and very tasty

Best fish and chips in the area

Great chipshop. Brilliant service. Lovely crisp chips. Good portions.

Great takeaway. If you are in need of fish, chips or other stuff to satisfy your hunger, the quality of the food is first class. Delicious.

By far the best chip shop in a WV postcode. Wouldn't consider anywhere else.

As ever - hard to beat. Always our go to.

Best place in Wolverhampton...in my opinion. Some of the staff are a bit young, probably cheaper per hour. One of them tried to overcharge once... Forgiven as a one off.

Tasty Fish and Chips... Enjoy them by the canal.. 👍🏼

Great fish and chips! Better than just about anywhere else

Amazing fish and chips.. Really friendly staff to and great service.. 🙂 👍🏻

Possibly the best chippy in Wolverhampton.

simply the best in the area. recommend ordering ahead to jump the queue.

Best fish and chips in the land

Superb kebabs and always enjoy the food.

Love the food, and great choice of menu

Food was good and staff are pleasant however there was a lack of scallops.

Best chippy for miles. We drive nearly half an hour to get here.
