The Top Chippy in Blackpool

We had come to see the lights at Blackpool. We got there early as we really wanted to go to this chippy as we have been going for years as a family and it’s always been excellent. We haven’t been for a few years but still thought it was regarded as excellent. We were so shocked. It was awful to be quite honest. It didn’t even smell like a chip shop when you went in. We heard “what you having” and looked up and realised it was us who was being spoken to. We ordered and immediately regretted it. The fish was small and dry and the chips were overdone and mainly scrappy and burnt. My other half said his battered sausage tasted weird and my children left most of their dinner. It’s not good when money is tight and you go out for a treat and come away feeling like it was a waste of a journey and calories. Sorry to say . A family tradition has ended we will never go back.

The waiting time to place my order was far too long, and when I finally got my food, the fish was over-fried and dark brown in color, which made it unappetising. The oil definitely seemed old, affecting the taste. Top of it, the staff weren't very friendly. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone who values quality and good experience.

very long wIting time. Fish over fried oil looks very dated. Fish looked dark brown bc oil needed to be replaced.

We visited the take away was going to go to the restaurant tomorrow but will give it a miss . The server was borderline rude left is to wait and served someone who came in that she clearly knew After asking what we wanted walked away half way through ordering saying you can wait ! I’m getting a drink from next door She came back I started to order again to be told I know just remind me about the fish cake I thought ok … Paid Once paid someone came who she knew and she was telling him this is a S…. Place the shops are S… and the people who come round here are S…..? A loud conversation clearly meant to be heard At one point she chucked a pie into the cabinet it turned over and she turned it back and said to my sister Thats your pie ? Not sure what her point was Extra large chips cold greasy Pie very dry Pudding ok Fish cake ok Fish that she cooked fresh was cremated and discusting Peas gravy cold Curry sauce ok Will never return

Just had one of their home made pies, absolutely beautiful! (Steak Pie)

Reg fish chips ended up 2 scrag ends fish just batter and soaking oil fish needed a magnifying glass to find it threw it in bin Worst I’ve had yuk deffo wot be back

Used to come to this chippy 25 years ago with my family on trips out. Came back for old times sake and wasn't disappointed. Really nice food at decent prices!

Asked for extra large chips for £3.90 I was expecting big bag of chips all I got was a tray overpriced for what I received won’t be going there again

Literally horrific. Used to be so nice but the cost cutting has been taken to the extreme. Gravy watered down with what tasted like half a tub of vinegar. Anemic chips hard in the middle and the driest steak pudding I’ve ever seen. Literally looked like dog food on a plate. Never again

Lovely chippy, really enjoyed my food! Will be back

Updated Review - Threw up all my food later that day. Seeing as this was the only place I ate that day and the next day I felt fine, I believe I got food Poisoning from them. Changing the rating to 1 star from 2. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Went with a friend. I got a chips and Gravy and he got a battered sausage and chips. The chips werent the best. Werent even very good to be honest. They tasted Burned all crunchy aswell as a greasy oily taste afterwards. The gravy was okay. Not bad gravy. If the chips were better then the food would have been salvageable. According to my friend the battered sausage was quite nice and was definitely the highlight of the meal. He didnt mind the chips so maybe I got unlucky. Will try again one day if I get the chance and will adjust my review accordingly. But for now I would recommend changing the Frying oil. Aswell as bathing the chips in salty water before hand so they're softer.

Popped in today. Had homemade steak pudding chips peas and gravy. Bargain price. Quality food. Highly recommended. Great service.

Was served by a scroaty women who was ignorent , very loud , banged on about she goes to a gym very unprofessional.

Absolutely disgusting food we all had fish and chips the fish was greasy the chips tasted like they were cooked in chicken fat obviously they do not change the fat in the fryer do not go

Soggy tasteless mush that you wait 15 mins for with one member of staff and no customers horrible place no passion and very unclean walls as you walk in

Soggy fish, soggy chips, soggy attitude

Just weird. Very greasy fish like it’s been fried in old oil, tiny piece of fish, not much in the batter. The chips were dripping with grease and not proper chippy chips. Everything was soggy, chips weren’t fluffy as you’d want them to be, was hoping for big chunks of fish and it was very minimal. Curry sauce had a horrible metallic taste to it. Not one we’d like to go back to again!!! Very overpriced for what you get.

Batty prices & the £5.40 fish was tiny. We'll never go there again.

Excellent service good quality food. They could not do enough for us. Even did us some scraps which they don't normally do. Would highly recommend. Will go back next time we are inn the area.

Award winning?!!! Can't have been for the food! Absolutely awful! We were staying round the corner and fancied a chippy tea. A number of chip shops on there, we chose this one cos it says award winning. Maybe was in 1967, plenty of others on the road, go elsewhere and enjoy them!

Disgusting cheese and onion pie from takeaway must have been in the heater all week.Usually very good.One heated in microwave was ok

The worst fish and chips we've ever had even my two dogs wouldn't eat it so I would suggest that you go somewhere else.

terrible. for the price u expect it to be better. the sausages were to salty but the chips were flavourless and plain. the woman who served us was ignorant and rude. walked in and it was what u having? where was the manners and kindness. 15p for a satchet your having me on. top chippy my arse

The worst fish and chips we’ve ever had! Extremely small fish battered dripping with so much fat. The chips were shrivelled and disgusting. My son had a pie and he even said it was the worst pie he’s ever had in his life. Very disappointing. The mushy peas were alright though

Worst fish and chips I have ever had for the price the fish was small and the batter was undercooked

First time today, amazing chippy. Relatively new to the area and now found a favourite chilly. Good prices, fish cooked fresh. Curry sauce was amazing. Thank you!

Popped in on Sunday about 2 got 2 fish &chips went down to the pub to eat them and throw them away very greesy and uncooked did not return them as we are both bad on our legs worse I have had

This place is an utter disgrace. First, the two staff behind the counter were the two most disinterested and sullen peole I have ever encountered. Had pie and chips, the chips were undercooked and the pie had to be thrown away (obviously left too long in the warming cabinet and had gone hard). I have sent a report into the local council. AVOID!!!

The lady was rude, sarcastic when I’m coming back from work I cba I just wanted a large fish and chips and the lady said she doesn’t do em and then put the salt outside the box with the vinegar feel violated that 2 regular fish and chips with 2 cans costed £19.60 was very misleading aswell cause the prices on the board r cheap Plz don’t come here be happy when it’s gone!!!!!

Just been here on my way home from a shift at a hospital and paid £9.20 for meat and potato pie, chips a gravy! The pie was rock solid and filling was burnt around the inside as I'd ut had been there all day! So basically paid £9.20for chops n gravy as by the time I got home it would be shut if I went back! Guy serving had as much personality as someone who'd lost a tenner and found a penny! Definitely won't be back again. Best chippy my eye.

the fish should have more batter on it

Plate full of grease paid 30 pound for to meals and and it’s was that disgusting we couldn’t even eat it what a joke this place is

First time we’ve been here Was having a ride out and called in for take away fish & chips which were very tasty and the lady who served us was so nice and jolly Will definitely call in again

Had jumbo sausage and chips, chips were not cooked and tasted like cardboard sausage must have been in the counter for hours as it had a rock hard outerskin, best part was the gravy, never go again

Fish ok but hard, tasteless chips full of black and grey rotten bits. Tasteless peas, tasteless curry sauce. All served by a rather unfriendly chap. Overall a bit rubbish, won't be going back.

Got meat and potato pie chips and gravy. Chips weren't cooked properly and the pie tasted off. £7.20 and went straight in the bin.

Top chippy. Well its the top. Super hot tasty chips for all to eat while you go for a browse down the illuminations.

We went to this chippy yesterday, the staff are rude they was in the back on there phone and ignoring customers. Me and my family eaten the same & all had food poisoning! We’ve not stopped being sick! This chippy needs closing down. Everything about it is NOT GOOD!

The best pies in the area, home made and really tasty. We always go here if we feel like pie and chips. We haven't tried the fish yet but we shall in the future .... If we can resist getting a pie 😄 I had meat and potato and my partner had steak and Kidney. Tasty pastry and not stodgy ... Yummy. Lovely staff too.

Chips and gravy were really good, but a bit on the expensive side at £4.10!!

Excellent chips first place to go when I am in the area.

Great food,great place and great price, many thanks👍

Nicely done fish and chips but like every chippy these days plenty of salt and vinegar equates to only a little.

Just fancied chips and curry sauce for lunch it's a well known chipshop curry sauce had a delicious tang about it next time will try there homemade pies.

Wonderful. Couple of portions of chips ahead of walking the Illuminations. Best chips had in a long time. Crispy outside, tender inside, freshly cooked, well salted. Staff friendly and efficient. Have visited in past but this visit was a step above.

Called here whilst visiting the illuminations - we had got off the tram at Bispham and needed something warm on a cold evening. Service was quick, prices reasonable. Chips were lovely.

Award winning chippy No way. Undercooked chips and curry like water

Very popular take away restaurant selling fish and chips and specialising in home made pies just off main front in of Blackpool illuminations. Interestingly we passed about 5 f&c takeaway's which were empty while this one was full which says a lot. Good sized fish. Very generous chip portions. I had the steak pudding with gravy which was delicious. My two friends had f&c which they loved. Staff friendly and welcoming. Limited parking outside. About 8 spaces. Target audience passing foot trade from attractions. Well worth a visit.

Love this Chippy. We go about once a month as its an hour away. The homemade stake pudding are absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend if your in the area

Ordered over the phone 9x small fish and chips + extras. Arrived 5 mins later, food already being cooked and packed to order. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Very greasy fish left large pool of oil on paper. Chips were burnt, dry and tasted as though been heated up several times. Left most it. Worst fish n chips had for many years.

Excellent quality and value. Steak pie was delicious

Called here on the way home with a friend, I must say the order wasn't right, and the chips were burnt and very crispy. The man who was doing everything on his own seemed a little stressed, and that's why I didn't go back and let him know about the order.

arrived on a coach trip out through the lights, stopped for a chippy tea first, ordered ahead but still had a wait, when the food arrived was fresh and hot, but, just an average meal, small tray of fish and chips, felt disappointed with the meal portion, it was tasty and as expected no salt / vinegar. would I go again, probably not, sorry

We've gone to this chippy after the illuminations for over 10 Years - never again! Ordered two sausage, chips and gravy with a can of pop each and it came to £21.40. The chips were half cooked, bits of raw potato and tasty gritty so went in the bin. Sausage was alright and the only edible part of the meal, really disappointed and will not be going here again.

Worst Chippy Ever! Food went Straight Into The Bin Only Place For It Complete Waste Of Money...Service Was Rude I Thought So Anyways Get Better Food At A Burger Van Fish Had This Yucky Slime On It & The Stake Pie Wow 😂 Extremely Dry Tasteless 😳 Wouldn't Say Was The Best Chippy in Blackpool it Definitely Is The Worst Through In My Opinion.

Pudding was great Fish was too small and a bit dry sadly.

A very popular fish and chips shop food was great 👍

I got 2 pudding chips and gravy they were put on single trays in which the women's squashed them together in the bag which made the gravy and pudding squash out over the tray the chips were raw also and pudding wasn't the best either

Big queue but went down pretty quick, all homemade pies, looked delicious, had small fish an chips which wasnt bad at all for the price these days (£4.60) . Would def go again to try a pie ha!

Disappointed chips were half cooked ordered large portion and didn't get alot of chips. Attitude of staff was a little off aswell. Been before and was really good bit looks like standards have dropped.

I think they won their award in 1937 worse chips I had in years

First time trying this chippy and will be the last. the chips were average, the mushy peas were grey, the batter on the battered sausage was like cardboard and must have been sat there all day. The pies looked good but looks can be deceiving and we fed the bin a steak pie and a meat and potato pie. FISH - Upon entering the chippy you are asked if you want fish, I said I did and was asked what size so I asked for a large and that was accepted. moved along the counter to the person taking the orders and was asked what I was having, I said a large fish and fish and she replied they only do one size of fish and its regular. why ask if there's no choice? bizarre. The prices aren't too bad: regular fish XL chips steak pie jumbo sausage 2x battered sausage mush peas regular chips meat and potato pie home baked barmcake just under £30, but does the low price mean the food suffers? I'd say so.

There is nothing top about this place other than the top end prices. The worst chippy in Blackpool. They're just lucky to be in a thriving area of the illuminations so up their prices for that benefit. I binned my food the chips were over done and the battered sausage wasn't edible.

Lovely fish and chips before you go around the illuminations, well wreath the wait ( long queue) but not too be missed.

Run by Bispham kitchen so you know it's good. Always take some uncooked steak puddings home with me to the Midlands. Then freeze them.

Always come here when in Blackpool Best steak pudding by a mile Tonight we called in , and what a disappointment No plastic forks , just very tiny wooden ones Completely useless Stark puddings and chips and peas are normally in polystyrene boxes with lids and big portions Not tonight , a flimsy paper style tray that once filled with gravy was so flimsy , it’s was collapsing when held And trying to eat with the small wooden fork was a challenge Shame as the pies and puddings are great But prices gone up a lot and chips have more than halved in portions? Probably around 15 chips rather than the big portion you used to get time to find another chippy

FLOP CHIPPY don't do it guys unless you want food poisoning

Worse chop shop out soggy chips and a roll that was 2 lids not fit for eating and as dry as feck

1st time here on Saturday big queue and only one server but worth the wait really nice food (or maybe we was starving after walking around Blackpool lol) and large portions

Very disappointing. Bought sausage and chips for myself and grandkids. Most of it ended up in the bin..... chips very 'gritty'?? Not sure how? And undercooked sausage.

Food just not worth buying which is a shame because we used to get steak pudding and chips regularly many years ago. The last time we had the steak pudding it was greasy and not much meat in it. We use Yorkshire fisheries in town now: might be more expensive but the quality is there.

The steak pie is the best I've ever tasted. It's full of succulent beef steak with no fat or gristle, delicious.

Great place. Wonderful service.

Food wasn't the best and for the price of a xl chips to what you actually get!!! It's disgusting! More like a small chips and the price is disgusting!!!! Cost me just under £8 for 2 "xl chips" that where more like small!!!!

The girl behind the place was boss dead funny and nothing wrong with a sense of humour. Asked for curry and chips and she said chips and curry it's called banter. Food was sound and got sauce too for my missus cone so no issues here it's a top chippy from a Scouser.

Where do I start I went there I orders sausage and chips and a cheese and onion pie and chips and pot of gravey the chips were absolutely horrendous 😫 I was eaten the chips while I bit in to somthong hard when I looked it was a stone which cracked my back tooth the chips were freezing the gravey was tastless.. and charged me about more for sausage and chip and pasty and chip and pop of gravey come to 19.50 when I questioned her she said I ordered fish and chips and 2 lots of sausage and chips but I hadn't she took the un ordered items and said your done naw no refund nothing ill never recommend any one to go to this chip shop I have photos rwafy for the food hygiene to be contacted of tje state of my dinner and to stones in my chips

Waited 25 mins and they only served 3 customers so we left. Been my go to place for family fish and chips in Blackpool for many years but won't be bothering again.

A lovely place, if you wish to have fish and chips by the sea.

Very poor, looks the biz and bold claims of best chippy in Blackpool but sadly on this occasion this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Service was slow this evening, although I think they forgot our order and served 5 other orders that arrived after us. Not too worry food would arrive forth with. Once we did get our order we took it straight up the front to eat. Greasy to the point one of the small haddock and chips was so bad the chips under the fish were dripping in fat and was left in-edible. Shame as the anticipation and bold claims set them up for a mighty fall. Gutted is an understatement we where late on and they closed shortly after us leaving so maybe just the last few orders and things had got a bit lax but we won’t be rushing back to try again.

How this chippy can claim it was voted blackpools best chippy I will never know. Chips was not cooked still hard in the middle and tasteless. Gravey just tasted like water Homemade Steak pie 🥧 I would start buying them in cold dry and tasteless. All for the bargain price of£12.70

Possibly the worst chippy I’ve ever been to. Chips had clearly been sat for ages. Greasiest fish and stale bread cake. Zero flavour. £25 + immediately thrown in the bin as I didn’t want me or my dogs to eat that.

Just ordered from hear. Threw it all in the bin. Old fat used, chips not cooked properly. Fish very greasy and steak not cooked. All went in bin. Won’t be using again. £30 down the drain. Young boy cooking food needs training. Had to then make tea coz grandchildren wouldn’t even eat it

We often come to top chippy and never really been disappointed, came in last night after a long shift I got charged £23.40 for haddock chips 2 jumbo sausages curry sauce and a drink should only come to £16.40 I have tried contacting them but never get a response, chips were also a funny colour!! (Green/black)

Great fish and chips freshly cooked to perfection at a good price.

Chips were hard inside and fish was tasteless. Not sure how they ever won chip shop of the year. Very disappointing.

Would have been a great place but seemed like everyone in Tenerife was there that day. Queues over an hour for all rides.

It really is the top chippy great food

Love the steak and kidney pudding. We visit every week now as a treat.

Really good fish n chips. Eat here.

Okay so they said it was due to the season, but this is not the case for the chippy found in our extended family. So.. it was busy, nice sunny day, two young boys serving very polite and service was great. Although the lady from the back brought through a curry she had just made (chip shop curry so just powder and water) as they ran out before my order. Despite the poor boys every effort to make the visit pleasant the wait time for the blackened chips was ridiculous, the curry was nothing more than coloured water (my teens words) and the home made meat and potato pie needs some flavouring, maybe even just some salt and I'm pretty sure the pastry wasn't home made either definitely not as nice as advertised and if they did win chippy of the year a few years back they defo had different cook and routine. It's apparently connected to Bispham kitchens, the food is NOT. But then it's been a minute since I've visited there and it wasn't always a great service maybe the two should merge they'd have nice food with good service. Honestly I'd avoid.

It was 6.30pm not exactly closing time we had chips steak pie and curry and just chips and a tub of curry, The Good - Portion size £2.50 regular chips great value large portion, The Bad - "Re Fried old chips, I saw the lad putting them in a tray and nearly said give me my money back, but I didn't as he was only very young and he tilled the money in. I really hate old chips the curry was very thick and the pie was dried out, be better if they just closed rather than sell unfresh food. It may be okay around 5pm. Plus I agree what a previous reviewer said that you can taste the cooking oil and it has an unusual taste about it, just couldn't recognise what was odd about it. Better chippy's on the front, shame really as I said portion sizes were good.

One of the best chippys in the north

I was the only customer at friday lunchtime, ordered chips and a barmcake, this took about 7 mins, salt and vinegar,but the salt was damp in the shaker and would not come out, the chips were hard inside and not cooked long enough. The price for this was £3.70, which for good quality would have been fine. My first and last visit.

Chips were very burnt yet hard in the middle?? Not good at all

We have been going to the Chippy and the Bispham Kitchen for more years than I can remember this was the worse fish and chips I have had from there.

Had two steak pudding chips one with peas the other with gravy. The chips where over cooked and awful. Gravy had no test. stay away and save your money on over priced food.

Shocking Where do I start?? Service... spent more time looking out of the window than serving customers. Food... chips were all black greasy, the cooking oil used was well past its use by date £5 20 for a reg haddock.... seen more fish on a fish finger!! Avoid.

The fish was very tasty but lacked crunch. Very greesy as well and fooled ABIT by the price said fish and chips small £4..50 then said £5.20 regular fish. I assumed it would be with chips but I was wrong and paid extra for chips so ended up being more than I thought.

The worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. The server was quick to take the money for burnt chips, and an order he kept forgetting and still got wrong! They were half eaten meals that went in the bin. Ordered 2 small gravy and got 2 curry but couldn’t take it back, it would all have been cold and that was after he asked me twice what sauces I ordered. Dodge the place like it’s Covid, there’s chip shops a plenty within 5 minutes that don’t appear to have two 12 year olds running the place. Wished I’d had a cheese sandwich
