The Acropolis in West Lancashire

When the hell has this chippy (if you can call it a chippy") started pricing people out of eating... £6 for a portion of chips and gravy and the chips are supposed to be large. But macdonalds give bigger portions

Only got chips and curry. But they were the best chips and curry I’ve had in years.

Food is amazing, little expensive compared to other local takeaways but worth it...

Best chippy in Ormskirk. Don't eat chips much these days but more often than not I call in at the Acropolis when in town. Update: Prices gone up- too expensive for me now.

It's not as good as it should be. The curry is tasteless but the fish is great. The chips are ever so slightly underdone. It suffers from its success

The food was excellent the was plenty if it and it was pipeing hot would recommend 👌 will call again

Absolutely delicious fish and chips. Our new go to chippy!

I bought chicken curry yesterday and to say it was disgusting is no exaggeration. The boiled rice was over cooked. The chicken curry was tasteless, the only vegetables in the curry was large pieces of onion. I was a regular customer, not anymore

Been using the Acropolis for decades. Moved away from Ormskirk 8 years ago but occasionally go back just to get their fish and chips. Has been consistently excellent for all the years we have going there

We used to always visit here and thought we would revisit what a mistake we ordered fish and chips for 2 and a sausage for the dog it cost over £24 (quite expensive for a chip shop) and was without doubt the worst fish and chips I had ever had. the chips were soggy and greasy the fish batter was not cooked through and we didn't even give the dog the sausage because it looked so awful we thought it would make her ill. after a couple of mouthfuls we put the whole lot in the bin. What a disappointment neber again

Just had sweet and sour chicken balls from here, the chicken was dry and the batter was soggy, it tasted like it had been microwaved, over priced too..I won't be going to this place again..

Very clean cookshop excellent fish.

Food was okay.. but very expensive for what it is.. Small noodles £6 Salt and pepper chips £5.50. Add a can of coke and Small tub of curry.. bill came to over £15 quid!!! Bit of a rip that sorry... I won't be going back

Opening hours were inaccurate on google

Ordered a steak and kidney pie. Got home and it was meat and potato. Fantastic.

I went there and prices where extortionate and theres other places where it's just better.WILL NEVER GO AGAIN.

Genuinely cannot believe what I have just been charged. 1 sausage dinner, 1 pie dinner, S&P chips, small sausage and chips - £28. The food is tasteless. S&P chips worst I've had. £1.70 for a chippy sausage... seriously, they're less than 20p cost per sausage for jumbo's and you're selling 6's for 10-15 times cost. You can charge less than this in a city centre. Infact, I could name 5 in Liverpool selling better food for cheaper. Avoid - County Fish bar 10x better value

Good choice of menu, chips needed to be cooked more.

Avoid these theiving little scum bags. Charging £13.05 for special fried rice amongst other things on just eat and then saying its just eat who made the prices 😂. Little rats. Avoid

Absolutely lovely, busy and lively fish and chip shop. Great food and service. With a name like Acropolis, I was expecting Greek food but this was a chippy with wok and noodles. A lovely dinner and friendly staff

Great quality, well kept chippy.

£6.60 for chips,sausage and curry sauce. No thanks. Gone are the days of a chip shop being an affordable meal. Must think there in London. Plenty of other chippys in Ormksirk with more appropriate pricing.

They are doing a very poor food and some of the girls are rude , also i have to wait about 40 min for only one dishe... very poor experience !

Absolutely awful cold awful won't be coming back

Lovely food at the Acropolis, extremely clean, staff really nice. Can't fault it.

Ignored . Just say to people . I won't be a moment! . Doesn't hurt --

Chip excellent. However the gravy £2 and peas £2 that’s just not on. Furthermore, in the past it was two scoops of each but today only given one of each. Will get the chip next time and supply my own extras.

Was quite surprised if how much meals have gone up, and the quality has gone down. Meat in meals was chewy and not as much. From a birthday meal for 8 people and price was 108. Afraid chippy has seen its day for us.

Good Chippy. Good to know in future for when passing through.

Can't fault the atmosphere but 10 quid just 4 2 small chips and gravy wich by the was undercooked and the gravy tasted disgusting I'd advise people not to come here ever.

Awful chinese. the chips just taste like fish, it’s expensive and 100% not worth the money!

First time here so it must be fake reviews for this place. Walked in and was ignored by three staff, i had to get their attention..first red flag. Chips n curry is extortionate price its disgusting and the food was disgusting, the chips were soggy the curry was tasteless and just warm. Pie awfull too tasted of bleach. Wont be going back and i left the remnants of the food front of shop Disgusting place.

Quick service and tasty food. The pad thai option is delicious and good portion sizes.

I had fish,chips and gravy. The fish was the best i have ever tasted, chips and gravy tasted brill... I'll be back...

Brilliant chippy. Must have been in Ormskirk one of the longest if not the longest in the area. Meals amazing. Never disappoint. Would highly recommend.

Initially, service was great as served straight away by friendly staff. My requested order was wrapped up ready to go...came to pay using my phone, the staff said sorry it's cash only???? Or you can download the app and pay via that! So, I did as instructed, the app wasn't working so I was told by the staff, go next door to bargain booze, buy something and ask for cash back! Went next door, sorry we can't do that! The staff in bargain booze suggested download the just eat app and pay that way. FFS! Went back in to acropolis and asked if I could do that she said, it will work out more expensive! I said, do know what just forget it! Came out very hungry and disappointed - presume my order went in the bin! What a great way to do business....not!!!!

Absolutely banging! Best fish and chips!

We love the Chinese meals, the salt and pepper chips are the best in Ormskirk. Would recommend this to a friend.

The staff are really good and friendly

ACROPOLIS, a Greek named and themed take out. Serves English dishes, Asian noodle boxes and Chinese meals. They do advertise Greek kebabs but, they don’t sell these anymore. Oh, and also, they don’t have ketchup. Please figure out who you are.

Ordered a chicken pad thai this what we got five small pieces of chicken no Asian vegetables and no rice noodles but there is Italian pappardelle pasta in it absolutely disgusting didn’t realise they were doing fusion food. Very disappointed there are loads of good recipes for pad dishes

Ordered Thai red curry No sauce provided very dry Definitely won’t be going back

Small fish and chips still filling, come in box.

Great chippy served by a lovely friendly lady and food was great.

Soggy undercooked chips and fish Worse chips I’ve had in years and years from what I thought was supposed to be the best chip shop in Ormskirk!!!

It's good. It's been there for decades. I just about remember going there after a few scoops in The Chelsea Reach back in the day. It's longevity speaks volumes. The place is a gold mine. Just wish we could pay by card.

Big portions and good service. Nice food too.

The best fish and chips in town.

I wouldn't go here if you want a tasty piece of cod. I have no idea what fish they use. I would go as far to say that the fish there is worse than the fish at parbold chippy. And that is saying something. However the chips were nice and the gravy hence the rating not being a 1 star. Haven't tried the chinese dishes so cannot comment but the reviews on them seem decent. But fish is a no no.

Good all round chippy , friendly staff

Friendly and professional service from Andy and Dee! Highly recommended!! :)

Very busy but very good fish and chips and curry, rice an chips

Absolutely brilliant chippy, sells all kinds of different food , the staff are lovely very welcoming and friendly and prices are reasonable, highly recommend this place. Never been disappointed with anything I've brought really enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍

Expensive but very decent food, noodle boxes are a winner

amazing fish and chips,,bit of a wait for the delivery but other than that the food is amazing i will be back again

I know everything going up but not so much

I've never seen an ancient ruin more beautiful! Stunning!

Twice now been given the wrong order, useless...I'll stick to Moss Delph Chippy from now on.. overpriced as well

Fantastic place and fish are fab too also the staff are superb! Very good chip shop I have been going in there for 45 years lol!

Nice food also spotless inside the shop

Food was OK but had to wait 25 mins for some chicken nuggets then another 10 mins on top of that for salt & pepper chips coz the girl hadn't ordered them in the back with the rest of the order. Forget ringing a telephone order in, they are always engaged but the phone didn't ring once while I was in there waiting?

This establishment needs to learn the fundamentals of supply and demand. IF YOU CAN’T MEET DEMAND, THEN STOP TAKING ORDERS! Passing through Ormskirk and thought, let’s get a quick chippy. 50 minutes later I was given a fancy box and thought maybe it was worth the wait but when I opened it, immediately my eyes started to sting with the stench of cheap vinegar and my nose hairs started to curl in directions I didn’t know they could. Regardless though, I was hungry so started to dig in and thought, these chips are sharp so stood under the street light and I noticed me chips resembled crisps that only a hardened ninja could eat. My fish looked curiously brown and small, I almost mistook it for another chip or a sardine at best but I ate it and realised the fish must have stayed behind because it felt like I was chewing on the corner of some MDF from the local DIY. If you don’t mind excessive wait times, poor quality food but are in the market for a fancy box then this is for you. Otherwise, go get yourself a meal deal (with crisp).

Called in today 20th October on my way to Southport. Had my heart set on a kebab but they no longer serve them at lunch time. So my second choice was a sausage dinner. I have to say the dinner is pricey but the food was lovely. Peas, gravy, sausage and chips all very tasty and plentiful.

Pie,Chips and gravy £6.50? Must be the dearest chippy in the North of England?

First went here in 1976! Cracking chippy.

Used to be my favourite place for chinese food but my last meal was so salty i couldnt eat it , wont be visiting here again

Top quality food Excellent service Very clean place 10 out of 10 Thanks

First time ordering takeaway. 35 for 3 meals, upon black bean dry and sickly and the Singapore rice box came with no prawns at all. Only good thing is was hot when arrived.

Fish and chips always a winner 🏆

Very disappointed.. usually out favourite fish and chips.. but not tonight. Chips were AWFUL ! They were dried up ,couldn't eat them. The fish wasnt the usual standard either and at £9 for each portion it wasnt good value. Sorry.

The best special fried rice I've ever had. Huge portion and top quality

Nice meal to be had here! App is definitely in need of an overhaul as kept crashing when trying to use, otherwise would have been 5 stars

Always loved the food here since I was a kid.

Walked out too expensive staff great but prices too high.

Very nice and tasty food but prices have shot up recently.

Hello just picked up chicken sweet and sour and will not recommend it.We have had fabulous fish and chip meals from there and will stick with that in the future. Other than we live a few miles away, I would have brought it back for a refund. I have messaged the shop. Kind regards JR

The previous reviews tell you everything you normally need to know. Last two Sundays though (when we use them) the quality has been quite poor. Soggy chips and fish without the usual crunch. So busy with deliveries that the quality is bound to suffer. Great polite and well trained staff do their very best always and so hopefully my experience has been a blip over the last couple of visits. Really hope they do because we love the place.

Not had a bad meal there yet!! Its a great chippy! 5*

We have visited this chippy a few times but this time the woman who served us was very rude, she made the wrong order as she did not clarify with us, I don’t like vinegar and they have put vinegar on my chips, usually we get the curry sauce in a pot but this time we got it all over. As she was giving us our food and still talking to us, she answered the phone and just ignored us, she was very ignorant and had an awful moody face on her. We have checked the menu and they have over charged us by a whole meal

Firstly this is a very good chippy , but by god do you pay for it , the menu has been streamlined so that all the meals are fixed price . The Chinese meals start at £7.50 !! No kebab's , apparently they are too much hassle to make ! Large fish and chips £7.50 and this has only happened since lock down , if you can put up with extortionate prices then fine , but there are soo many good and better value chippys around, also another bad point phone orders have priority over walk in customers

Always great food and excellent service.

Ordered 3 portions of Fish & Chips to pick up & collect. They were all individually boxed as requested. They were delicious plenty chips & the fish were nearly as long as the boxes. Very pleased & the ladies behind the counter were polite & helpful. Definitely coming again worth every penny.👍😉🐟🍟🍴🥫🧂

Absolutely the best chippy in the area, fish is always freshly cooked and tastes Devine, nice crunchy batter with loads of flavour, chips are perfect, the curry sauce is to die for, staff are polite and efficient, can’t recommend them highly enough 😍😍😍

The staff were very helpful 🙂 the food was excellent first time we had been there definitely be going back

Sl expensive, but good fish and chips.

Really nice chippy. Very clean, great food and great service.

Lovely local chippy a bit pricey tho

quite expensive. bought some barbecue spare ribs £7 for 5 small ribs.were overcooked burnt. but didn't quibble giving my money back and did apologise

Absolutely top tier. Best in ormskirk by a mile. We had salt & pepper chicken, duck spring rolls, crispy chilli beef egg fried rice & salt and pepper chips. Honestly unbelievable everything was full of flavour 🙌

The Acropolis, is one of the best you'll find, we've used them for over 40yrs. The fish is really good. The noodles, in fact all the Chinese food is excellent. Service is very good. There's plenty of staff. It's clean. You can't go wrong 👍

Terrible if you don’t like Mushrooms, Avoid. I have eaten here a few times giving this establishment a chance but yet it fails everytime. No where on the menu does the Curry Sauce state mushrooms but they expect every likes Mushrooms. Order Gravy next visit try that Mushrooms again. Not every person likes Mushrooms. There should be a normal Gravy Mushroom Free and Curry sauce Mushroom free but yet these are not offered only the overly used Mushroom in everything. Need to get your acts together before somebody who is allergic eats a mushroom that is not stated and has an allergic reaction. Very poor.

Chips cooked to the colour of a vampires face. Stinky Fish with thick greasy batter. Very poor value for money especially as 90% of it went in the bin.

Great mix of cuisine. I had a cooked to order Tai box, a well filled box of chicken, noodles and veg, couldn't eat another thing! Husband enjoyed his traditional pie and chips (massive chip portion). Delighted.

mitey chippy been in Aught now for 41 years and iv been going to this chippy for all that time i love it all in there . if your looking to fill your tummy then stop at the Acropolis and you wont be nothing els but happy and with a full tummy. i give it 20 / 10.

Thought it was pricey nice staff

Spotless.... Fantastic.. Courteous

Took our lovley client John out round ormskirk and finished our day out with a tasty fish,chips , mushy peas and curry sauce from our fav chippy THANKS GUYS xx
