The Chip Shop in Norwich

August 22nd, 2024: Awful awful overpriced fish and chips, £10.00 bag of undercooked battered fish and rehashed chips from lunchtime service, really poor quality portion of fish, I definitely do not belive it was a cod fish that they served me, not cod flavour. What a shame as it used to famous for excellent fish and chips cooked and fried to perfection. Look before you buy and if the batter looks really thick on outside of fish then you can be sure it's really slimy and snotty on inside, and undercooked. Never never never will I visit this shop again.

Really tasty chips and good portions too. Although I don't eat fish myself, my friend who had cod here reckoned it was delicious.

Excellent chips, excellent service, lovely people, more interesting than average chip shop menu, massive portions. Go here!

I love the chip shop, in fact I travel past several others to go there. The chips are thick and not greasy which is a big thing for me as well as being cooked to that point where they’re soft on the inside but not outside. The batter is always well done without needing to specify, I mean who wants wet batter? Lastly, given the current state of affairs I don’t consider it to be over priced, I could probably find cheaper but you get what you pay for and here the portion size is good as is the food. Keep doing what you do guys.

Lovely staff, very tasty food including the best vegetable spring rolls ever. Definately recommend.

Lovely tasting fish and chip shop. Polite service with a clean environment.

Excellent. The best Fish and Chips in Norwich by a country mile. Great range of non fish options as well Highly recommended.

By far the best chippy in Norwich,staff are friendly and have a bit of banter with you.

Best chippy in norwich (though they don't do chicken* :)) decent portions too, slightly smaller then last I was there but still good value, be prepared to queue as it can get very busy (it really is that good) *update: they now do chicken, really really nice chicken

Really nice quality food. Fish was delicious and chips just right. Generous portions and sensibly priced. Very clean premises.

the best fish and chip shop. the value for money is amazing and i will always return. also curry sauce to die for

Great fish and chips, massive piece of fish. Need to be aware that it is cash only no card transactions

Greasy, can't say much else other than that, I don't understand what the hype is about. Portions at the limit of how small is acceptable

Friendly staff. The fish inside the batter was ok. The batter was excessively oily. The chips weren’t fresh & were excessively oily. Hugely disappointing. Would not go there again.

A very good chip shop offering tasty food for a good price. Ordering for four people in my family only came to around £18 and I think that’s a very good deal. The fish is massive and tastes really nice, the chips are made from new potatoes giving them a nice and fluffy texture which taste amazing and the batter is beautiful. Portions are big and the staff are friendly. Unfortunately they take only cash and sometimes it can be hard to find a cash point in The Golden Triangle, however, this is a very good fish and chip spot in Norwich.

A staple weekly visit for my family! Probably one of the tastiest chip shops I've visited, and VERY glad it's local to us! EDIT - Pro-tip, visit the chip shop around 630pm - 730pm, after the initial rush.

I placed a very large order. They were very helpful. Packed it into boxes and labelled everything. The order was correct and very tasty. My battered mushrooms were lovely.

Stafford Street chippie is one of the best outside of the city centre. I have had gorgeous cod and chips here several times before and I have never been disappointed.

Friendly efficient service serving nicely cooked fish and chips. I will be using them regularly.

Local chippy, immediate, friendly service, battered sausage and chips are less than a fiver. As a bonus they let you do your own salt and vinegar. Can’t ask for much more.

My favourite chippy in Norwich. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. Word of warning - don't order a medium chips unless you're planning to share. Cash only

Very well fried food and good portions. Staff very friendly. May lack parking at busy times.

Best fish and chip shop.....I had such a large piece of plaice it filled my plate....yum!

First time customer here and will not be returning disgusting chips all hard crispy scraps not a good chip shop!

Massive queue but worth it. Large chips and large cod are substantial not large.

Tasty food and friendly service. Thank you.

In my opinion, still the best fish and chips in Norwich and I've been away for 7 years. Don't stop what you're doing, it's a winning recipe.

Had chips for fat Friday lunch and lived it.

Jtried the new curry sauce best I have ever had worh every penny.

Nice fish and chips. Batter was crispy and chips nicely cooked. Will visit again.

Had not eaten a fish and chips for a few months. This was first time in Norwich. I recommend very much. We had scampi Chios and mushy peas. Was so tasty and really well cooked. The staff were very friendly and all at a reasonable price

I used to live on Stafford street. I’d only ever get fish and chips from here

Was in the west of Norwich and needed a fix of chips……checked google maps and found this one……wow what a great plaice (😂) Got a large portion of chips and shared with my wife in the car parked outside. Absolutely fantastic chips and guess the fish would be as good. Now my problem is how to avoid the area since it’s got to be a return trip at least!

It's your standard fish and chip shop. No fuss, just nice fish and, you guessed it... chips!!!

Not a patch on what it used to be, unfortunately.

Have been using Stafford Street Fish and Chips for at least 7 years always been pleased with food bought but recently it has been horrendous.The chips look awful as though they have been cooked the day before also really really hard I was frightened I would break a tooth the fish batter is also very hard . I will not be visiting again. Paying £20 for something we cannot eat is unacceptable

Fantastic fish and chip shop, in a great location.

Excellent quality at fair prices and cooked perfectly. My only regret is how long I waited before giving this shop a try, some of the best fish and chips I've ever had

Best chippy in Norwich. Great portions, great service and for me, best curry sauce going!!

1st visit under new owners. For me I wouldn't go back, personally the batter is way to thick, everything else was good.

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said--"Delicious fish and chips await all on display...Near them, above it all, Displayed above a menu is, whose information, And clear language, and many offerings, Tell that its designer well those passions read Which yet survive, in the faces of the staff, The hands that feed, and the hearts that beat warmly; And on the wall, these words may appear: We are the staff, Servers of great food, Look on our food, ye hungry, and rejoice! The Chip Shop still stands. Round the four walls Of this mighty building, small but unabashed Great throngs of people stretch far away

Really lovely staff and great chips!

One of the best chippies in Norwich...

Tastes like they've changed the oil recently from vegetable to beef dripping... might be worth checking before purchase if you're a vegetarian.

Great fish & chips best in Norwich.

Cracking food, really friendly quick service and reasonable prices.

Excellent fish and chips, portion sizes are very good and it’s good value for money. Point to note, it’s cash only. I would highly recommend.

Great chippy tucked away west side of Norwich.

Great traditional chippy, with excellent portion sizes and really tasty food! The batter is always so crispy. Really big chip portions so I'd say order a size smaller than what you think you need!! My fave traditional chippy in the city. Staff are always really friendly but don't seem to sanitise hands often - handling cash and then food after. Maybe not the most covid-secure place?

Really lovely fresh cod and chips , will definitely return soon ! Friendly staff too . Probably we will cut down on chips next time as a medium portion would be more than enough for two . The cod was a very substantial portion , well done Stafford street once again !

Decent chips was working nearby, last Friday thought I’ll give it a go see what it’s like. An I would defiantly come back over to get more thank you fish was amazing

Always come here for fish and chips when I'm in Norwich.

pineappol frittor! high quality post lockdown experience. brb speed walkin home 2 gobble

Best fish and chips in Norwich, no doubt!

Friendly, accommodating (we like skinless), tasty and good value - nothing more to add! We have tried many chip shops in Norwich and this remains our favorite.

The best chips I've had for years!

Very good this chip shop one of the best in town really good service and nice friendly staff recommend everyone and friends!

Best Chippy in Norwich by a mile. Everything is cooked perfectly every time. The portions are generous large really does mean large. The fish is of the highest quality and the batter is always golden and crisp as are the chips. You really would be hard pressed to find a better chippy anywhere.

Excellent restaurant with reasonable prices. I recommend visiting it

There was a door, I went through it and I got my tea. Smashing. Even had batter scraps and the chips were ace

We have gone to this chip shop for years, even buying from here when we moved much further away. Since the long term owner sold the business to his colleague it has deteriorated hugely. Tonight we bought a little New Year treat and it was dreadful. Everything was swimming in pools of oil like we have never experienced before. We tried to pat it all off with kitchen roll but ended up throwing most of the food in the bin. Waste of £20 and I don’t think we will ever return

Best chip shop by far. Delicious and fresh and big portions. Cash only. Worth it every time

Used to be the best chip shop in Norwich but we were disappointed tonight! Chips were still good but the fish was flavourless and dry. A bit too expensive. Have had better else where

The chips were okay, but for the second time in a month or so, the fish was so oil logged, like it had been in the fryer more than once.. not great for £4.50..and not much fish, just a lot of oily, greasy batter..

This chip shop is really great. Lovely staff, really well priced and their chips are always good. Do be sure to take cash, as they don't card payments. Covid safe.

Best chip shop in Norwich by far, been a regular since I was child , always quality food, tasty decent sized portions and top customer service from all staff 👍

Excellent fish,cheap waterely VINEGAR, come on get the right stuff.

Only been here once but no plans to revisit.

It was dish lious fab food clean and the staff are so so nice service with a smile.

Nice people running this business.

I’d argue these are the best chips in norwich and I’ve tried a lot of different places before trying these. Also great staff who are always friendly

Good size portions, massive piece of cod as the pic shows, even though I didn't take the photo quick enough! Fish was quite greasy in the paper and realised my ordered pickled egg wasn't there, but had already got home 😔

There's a reason people come from far and wide to get their fish and chips from here.

Great staff, tasty fish, awesome chips!

I like going here to get fish and chips. Its is very good and tasty. Just a bit too expensive

Reheated chips. Price high. Small portion.

Visiting here in Norwich. Great takeaway. Great staff very friendly.

Lovely food. We had a fritter, 2 sausages and some chips. A medium chips are enough to feed family of 4 and they taste great. Service is fantastic and always happy in their work.

Fish and chips as good as anywhere, fresh and tasty

Amazing food and go here every night. 5/5

Tonight chips were definitely reheated and inedible. Surely no need for this. Such a let down.

We might be biased but we think this is the best in Norwich, often long lines on the weekend but they get you through. Food is high quality, well prepared, reasonably priced and fresh. Always look forward to it and never been disappointment.

Best fish and chips, lovely staff

Best fish and chips in Norwich! Worth every penny

Totally chaotic tonight. Always busy but usually orderly but tonight couldn't get in the door because all people who had placed orders were congregating and unable to get into shop without a fuss. Perhaps they should stop taking orders over the phone.

Just how I like them - not overcooked or all mushy. Believe it or not I am an expert on chips and these were flaming lovely. I had to just pinch a few before the lady wrapped them up for me!

friendly staff and great food. oh and big portions. best chip shop around.

Always friendly. Good quality too.

Has been taken over what a shame the chips where inedible, either yesterdays reheated or lunch times chips, dry and hollow and greasy had to through them all away. I cant see the point in saving money on re heating chips for the chance of losing customers. Won't return i'm afraid and has been my chippy for 45 years, thank the lord for Grosvenor fish bar!

Very friendly staff, fast service. Cheap prices for big portions!

Really good fish and chips. Tad pricey, but I'd rather they charged what they needed to than tried to cut costs. Do be aware portion sizes are very large.

Good God, these are great chips. Cheap too.. Staff polite and not too friendly, and smack bang in the middle of Hummus Central. Yeah!! Btw Aldi do a fantastic Moroccan Hummus for 65p; nothing wrong with that!

Great food. Where would we be without fish and chips?

Best chippy in the erea love it 👍

This used to be the standard by which all other chip shops could be measured but tonight I am saddened that despite having the same lovely staff of old ( the new owner I do not know so can't comment) the meal was inedible. The chips were ok, but the fish was too dry to eat, and the batter was like cardboard. The pineapple rings the same. I tried to phone but no reply. Sorry guys: this has never happened before in over 30 yrs I hope it was a one off glitch

Best fish and chips in the city

Best fish & chips in the city hands down!

Always great fish and chips, friendly staff and good value. Cash only though!

Great fish and chips, I usually have large cod which is massive and beautifully cooked and crispy.Chips soft in middle, crispy outside.

not happy ,...been using stafford st for years,best chippy in norwich,never ever had bones in my fish since the chinese have taken over there are no kebabs anymore and i had bones in my fish. looking for another chippy to use.
