The Goldfish Bowl in Staffordshire Moorlands

Absolutely amazing, very friendly staff definitely a family vibe, very quick service . Food was great I had a hotdog and chips amazing food no complaints at all. My mum is gluten free they had a wide gluten free variety (she had fish and chips) and the food was just as good as the regular! Batter gold me crispy, honestly amazing!

The fish was beautifully cooked, the staff are so welcoming and overall just friendly people. My whole family enjoyed everything we had ordered, needless to say there was none left.

Had goldfish bowl fish and chips yesterday and they were absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food, highly recommend.

Visited at weekend while in the area for Alton Towers, I had a large fish supper. When I opened it I looked like it had been lying in the display cabinet for days, almost burnt looking. Virtually no fish between the batter which was hard, thick and extra greasy. My chips were pretty soggy also. I picked at it as I was a hungry but ended up ditching it. Don’t know if we were just unlucky or not. My wife ate her chips and a bit of her fish, which granted did have more fish than mine, but was still too thick and greasy to eat it all.

Food was stunning as usual! However, when our food was being packed up, a woman and a girl behind the counter proceeded to loudly criticise what we had ordered by saying “cheesy chips and gravy with a battered sausage? Ew would you eat that?” “Ugh god no I’d never”. Very rude, unprofessional and disappointing when we’re paying customers.

Sausage Chips and Gravy. All that you can really expect from a chip shop. Fast service, good value meals with decent portion size. Classic chip shop gravy, well cooked chips and a standard sized sausage, in and out in under 2 minutes with a solid meal in hand. As good as a chippy gets I'd say

We popped into this fish and chippy on route back to our campsite from a day at Alton Towers. The menu was varied and great value for money. There was a queue but it was a Friday and it’s popularity means it serves good food! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Only use odd times but always been excellent service and food. I would not hesitate to recommend this fish bar!

I go about twice a month always really good chios. Staff are always polite and helpful cant beat it. Always look forward to going. Excellent

Called here on the way home form Alton Towers. The food was hot and tasted great. The prices were reasonable and the staff were really nice. It's a shame it's so far away from us as it's a great place :)

Always brilliant - good portion sizes, great COVID safe system in place, lovely staff! Gets busy, but for good reason!

This is the only place you can get your fish and chips from in cheadle the cues are always massive but it is totally worth it and that why people happily wait. I have the large fish share the large chips with mushy peas and OMG melt in the mouth and the sensation of angles dancing in my mouth. Its a must by and passer by in Cheadle Staffordshire Full recommend

After a long hot day at Alton Towers we popped into cheadle for chips. We had jumbo sausage and chips with gravy on one and curry sauce on the others. The chips were still piping hot after driving back to Alton where we were staying. My son who generally dislikes chips loved them with the gravy. Best sausage from a chippy in ages. Lovely friendly welcoming staff and a fantastic price too!

The Braised Steak and other "homemade" specials are excellent quality at a value price, added to the excellent staples of great fish and chips..

Very helpful friendly staff,with fab food, good menu, very good prices. Premises are extremely clean and tidy

The Goldfish Bowl is a fab chippy, lovely fish & chips, and really friendly staff. Fantastic service. Highly recommended.

Not a lot I can say this place you cant beat for the taste fish chips mushy peas or curry OMG if my waist line could take it id have it all the time. Small shop great people behind the counter welcoming and polite all the time with a smile and the prices are very good to.

This is the best chippy for miles, lots of choices and a different special every day. Excellent value high quality, can’t be beaten.

Beautiful food with great service! Best chippy in Cheadle, absolutely love eating here and everything is a good price

Having travelled 4hrs arrived in the area hungry and looking for something quick. Found The Goldfish Bowl and when you arrive to see it queued out the door thats definitely a positive. Food was fresh hot and very tasty and the prices were very very good. Big portion sizes will definitely return if in the area.

We don’t have fish and chips often, but, when we do- only from the Goldfish Bowl. Had for dinner Saturday evening, not disappointed!

We bought our dinner here when staying at Alton Towers for the night and took it back to our B&B; 10 minutes drive away. It was all piping hot and very tasty. Lovely chips, good portion size. Battered sausages were delicious. Will come back when visiting Alton Towers again.

I have been using this chippy since the current owners took over and the food has always been first class however over the last 12 months they have started blanching their chips and they are nowhere near as good as they used to be. They are very greasy when they have been blanched. Best time to go is on a Friday night. Expect to wait for a while but you will get freshly cooked chips just like they used to be. "Beautiful". As an alternative I have been using Tean chippy just down the road and never had blanched chips and I can recommend them.

Hi Called in with my wife to grab a take away and I must admit I have not used the Goldfish Bowl much but after being in a few times the food is top rated

Always fresh lovely food, excellent haddock, good for & plaice good local pies. However by far the very best braised steak meal ever highly recommended...

We stayed locally and decided on a chippy dinner. Found the goldfish bowl and were so pleased we did. Staff very friendly, nothing too much trouble even when we messed up the order. Great sized portions and all at a very reasonable price. Dinner fed 4 adults and was £18. If we ever visit the area I wouldn't hesitate to go back for more. Spesh the gravy! Yummmmmm!

Went on a Tuesday evening to find that the place was only busy due to the slowness of staff. Waited ages to be served and food, chips & fish were very greasy and not of a standard that I expected.

Good chips, good fish, always a lot of staff ready to take your order. Staff are polite and fast and food is cheap. Would recommend if you're in the area and fancy a chippy.

Moved into the area 3 years ago and became quite a regular at this chip shop. The fish and chips are simply brilliant.

Never again went there for lunch cold burger greasy chips waited for 20 min i don't know why it's so popular 2 nd time i went some

Excellent chip shop, with nice food, polite staff, and really good prices. However it does get quite busy

Just moved here wanted to try they food because every time I drive past there is a lot of people inside I bought 2 chips and 1 fish never again very grease chips funny taste I bought large fish but it was so small didn't eat it any way end up buying another food from another takeaway

Excellent, locally run traditional fish and chip shop. Hygiene is impeccable (5* ratemyplace) and food is always freshly cooked. Staff are cheerful and know most of there customers. Don't be surprised to have to queue outside at tea time on Fridays as it's that popular....

THE place to go for fish and chips in Cheadle. It can get busy so be prepared to queue out of the door on a Friday night. lovely fresh fish and light batter.

I normally visit once a week on a Friday , always a queue but worth the wait.there is a big menu offering both fish, sausage and a selection of home made cottage pie etc etc, all cooked traditionally by the very experienced owner.

En verdad este lugar es una visita sin duda!

Encontramos en tripadvisor. 15 minutos de Alton Towers en el camino de la M6.

Best Chip Shop Ever call there nearly every week I pre order and it's always ready and waiting great staff and very friendly , and they do the best Beef and Onion Bap ever

Stopped in for a takeaway during our stay in Cheadle, unbelievable portions at amazing prices, 4 battered Sausages n chips and chicken nuggets , just over a tenner, friendly staff who made us feel welcome, can't fault the place, park in the car park across the road and cross over to chip heaven.

Average chippy. Nothing special just basic fish and chips. Car park is accross the road yet some customers are still disrespectful and park on the private road beside rhe chippy. No real.issues with food or staff just an average chippy.

Always good fish and chips , always a special on and always good value for money super service as usual

Always visit goldfish bowl for a family cheat meal and the staff are brilliant and the food is of the best quality and at great prices!!!

Looks like it's changed hands. Was very nice but last two times in two weeks chips a greasy stuck together mess and fish was dry and tasteless, a pity as it used to be really nice

always found this to be excellent quality food ,service is second to none would highly recommend,great and varied menu to choose from all reasonably priced

Great fish chips go most weeks always lovely food and always hot and great staff always very pleasant

Always my go-to choice for fish and chips from the local area. Can be relied on to get what you want without waiting too long, even on a Friday evening when the queue is out of the door! Staff are friendly and attentive.

We stopped yesterday 12,30 lunch time came from Utoxester after shopping ,just by chance we stopped again as we have done many times and got fantastic fish ,gold fried and chips a perfect portion ,home and having a cold beer with the lunch .

Sometimes pop in and go for the specials which are good decent meals at a good price, had special chicken curry the other night which was real tasty and only £2.50, look at the board outside for the specials which I think change daily!

By far the best chippy in Cheadle. I use it on a regular basis, the quality never changes. First class service and banter by a friendly staff. You may have to queue, but it is worth the wait. Thanks everyone at The Goldfish Bowl.

Best chippy in Cheadle by far,,clean and friendly staff and premises, good choice of food.great location with good car park near by

been using Goldfish bowl for several years ,good standard menu & daily specials Friendly staff . Can get busy at times but that ensures everything is fresh.

No matter when you visit you will always get a friendly welcome and good selection to choose from, the fish and chips are always fried to perfection and you get that wonderful traditional fish and chip taste, missing at a lot of other places.

I have lived in Cheadle all my life and I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed with any of the food that I have had from here, The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food is very good value for money.

we thought as we are in cheadle try somewhere different for lunch , the staff were very welcoming and the shop looked very clean , however the food not so good the chips where dark and dry with a earthy taste and the fish was very small for a large one , sorry folks very disappointed .

Friendly staff and very hard working and the food is good, not a soggy chip, not ever. The take away offers specials which are very good and lighter choices for example sandwiches. There is often a queue which is reflective of its popularity. It is very clean and tidy.

This is a marvellous chip shop, everything i have ever had has been spot on. I have been going here for a good number of years & have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly & helpful, especially the young ladies who work on Thursday night.

Recently visited this chippy on the way home from Alton towers. Great food & lovely service. Will definitely visit again & recommend to friends & family!

I Live locally and can highly recommend this chippy to anyone,the food is excellent and the staff always cheerful and helpful

And queueing out the door always busy when I call in on a Friday or Saturday Good prices and quality nice crisp light batter on the fish and well worth the wait for freshly cooked food.Worth a try on your way back from Alton Towers

This is by far the best chippy in Cheadle Staffs,I have used this chippy for over 60 years,my first memory's of this chippy was when it was owned by Mr Salt and his family back in 1955 even then it was a great chippy probably one of four that were in Cheadle anyway I have never had a bad or cold meal from this chippy and would reccommend it to all that pass through or live in or around Cheadle,come and see Pugins great church and enjoy a great portion of fish and chips from just down the road.

last Sat 18th April after we left Alton Towers we went to Cheadle to find some takeaway food, We saw the Goldfish bowl chippy and gave it a shot. We had a Fish supper, a Cheeseburger supper, 3 portions of chicken nuggets, 1 portion of fish fingers and 3 small portions of chips to feed 2 adults 2 teenagers and 2 kids all for under £12!! Excellent value back home here in Scotland you'd pay at least £6 for a fish supper. Staff were friendly and efficient, we'll definitely eat here next time were down at Alton Towers!!

Great prices great food always queuing so you know it's a winner!! Love the choice too as lots to pick from Friendly quick staff Thanks for super supper

Fresh food continually cooked, there are only 2 chip shops in Cheadle and this is the only one where you will see people queuing out of the door literally.........what does that tell you........? Homemade dishes available to take away too, liver and onions, braised steak, chicken curry, shepards pie, cheese and onion pie plus more!! You won't be disappointed

we use here at least once a week best value ever!!!!!!!! Staff always cheerful and helpful great value none better
