The Village Chippy in Tameside

Recent reviews tell you everything you need to know. Service was painful - Two fish took 30 mins to produce. Staff spend too much time blaming each other instead of preparing food. The food is ok. The mushy peas are grey (!) Despite living round the corner, I’m not in a hurry to return.

Food quality has improved a lot and this has now become our regular chippy. We love just round the corner so we are thrilled to have such an excellent chippy on our doorstep. When we first moved here it was cash only, but now they do accept card which makes things a lot easier.

I've been going here for a while. Used to be out regularly chippy until we had a run of 4/5 visits where the order was either priced incorrectly (we had to correct them) or wrong food given; on one occasion this was chicken curry or similar and I'm vegetarian. Another time and item was missing. We stopped going due to the issues every time we went and probably haven't been for around six months or so. Revisited this evening on our way home and once again we are missing an item. Yes we could drive back and get it but by which point the rest of the meal is cold and the rest of my family will have eaten.. Food is nice when it's right but basic maths skills are lacking and attention to detail when making up the orders means we wont visit again for a while

Moved to the area recently so we thought we would support the local chippy , I wish I hadn't bothered , the servers with long hair scratching there heads one even started itching her ears and no none of them washed there hands then we ordered our food they took the money we waited 25 mins for 2 fish , there flour is off for sure the taste was vile from the batter , 100% safe to say we will not support that chippy again 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

First time using our local chippy after moving in the area last year, always a queue so expected good food, the order was quite quickly made, that's where the good things ended. The fish was honestly the worst I have ever eaten, what I ate of it anyway, chewy batter and overdone fish, like it had been on the hot plate for hours, chips were below average, my wifes gravy was too thick and not very flavoursome, such a shame for a chip shop. We shall not be returning here any time soon. ☹️

I would not order it again, The fish was soggy, the chips soggy, and the curry sauce was okay however, went in the bin I will stick to the better chippy's like crispy cod in Denton.

I've been on the planet for 65 years and this is the worst fish and chips I've ever had , couldn't eat it !!!

All we had was a carton of curry sauce & mushy peas. They had no taste what so ever. So bland. Yet me and my bf both had dodgy stomachs the next day so dread to think what the fish & chips are like.

Worst fish I've ever had .over cooked and a horrible taste and smell from it .went into the bin

Having used this chippy for a while we were so disappointed tonight with the food . It tastes of old fat the gravy had so many lumps in it and we couldn’t eat the fish due to soggy batter. Very disappointing with the old dirty oil smell and taste

Best chips about, they're absolutely deeeelish. The chips with mince and onions is my personal favourite 😋

Homemade Chicken Curry was inedible..what I can only desribe as rubber chicken rectangles in a non existent sauce..just some liquid with a mix of uncooked spices and red pepper. Rice was claggy. Chips okay...the rest dreadful. Partner had the Mince and Onion and Chips...also said Chips okay...the mince was tasteless. Not bad ...awful.

Never been to this chippy before must admit 10 out of 10, lovely food plenty of it well worth the money lovely delivery driver very polite will be back here again 😀 😋 😊

Just had a horrible battered fish- half of it was over cooked, the other half of the batter was undercooked. It hadn’t been turned over. Dense and oily. Couldn’t eat it all. The chips were freshly cooked but didn’t taste good. I think the oil was old. A very disappointing meal for £8:50. I’ve had good meals here previously but will not return. Threw half of it away. Service was okay but had to wait about ten minutes for the fish and chips to cook (badly), with no, ‘sorry for your wait’, or ‘it will be ready soon.’

Food is oily and burned chips the quality of food is terrible and my tummy is upset . Worst taste I ever taste in my life . Not good at all.

Ordered of just eat and through no fault of chippy the food did not arrive. The chippy rang to apoligise and cooked our food from fresh and got it delivered quickly. One of the best chippys. Would defo recommend. The fish was delicious

Very nice and friendly staff. Happy to cook my fish "lightly battered" and their mince and chips tastes great. The waiting times aren't too long considering the fish, scampi, chicken nuggets, fish bites etc are cooked to order.

Great local chippy, friendly staff and lovely fresh food.

Had fish and chips £8.50 sorry but I have to say the fish was terrible , went straight in the bin . Worst fish I've ever had by a mile

Quick, excellent chips. I would recommend

The staff were friendly and the food was tasty and not too greasy. Will definitely be back!

I've only ever had the Mince and chips with gravy at lunchtimes but it's always been fabulous

Terrible chips and extremely over priced

Very tasty, even shared my fish with my cat, normally she doesn’t touch it but she enjoyed it 👍🏻😻

The lady who runs it needs customer service skills and the staff need to put their phone down and concentrate on customers orders.Lady running it has no skills so she can’t teach the staff i’ve been using the chippy for 30 years plus tonight was the last time. Never again.

Visited 4 times since moving locally 10 months ago. Every time I have been the food has been perfect... I can honestly say it is one of the best chippies I have been to. Friendly staff and not a long wait time unlike some. Highly recommend!

Food lukewarm,meat pie pastry rock hard and inside all dried up threw it in the bin,chips tasteless and too crispy,£3 for a chip barm scandalous.Only been here twice when visiting family and won't go again.

Had fish and chips from there recently they were inedible the batter on the fish was so thick it was raw inside my daughter felt physically sick. Never again.

Good portion sizes in our order tonight from village chippy! Really nice food!

Food was disgusting. The chips was rock hard expecting fresh chips at 5pm no they been sat there all day and the sausages was just as bad AND THEY WAS AT LEAST 2 HAIRS IN THE FOOD . NEVER AGAIN

Worst chips...used to be a great chippy. They were hard and tasteless..the fish wasn't the best either. Overpriced for what you get

I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. The chips were so hard and fish was just horrible. Waste of money

Placed a £28 order over the phone for collection. First time I had had fish and chips in a year! I always used to go to the Village Chippy. The order wasnt ready when I arrived even though the shop was empty and then when I got home the order was wrong with items missing. I phoned up to complain. I had collected the food for family just driven down from Scotland. Wasn’t able to go back as not nearby. The person on the phone was quite blasé about it. She said she couldn’t do a refund to my card and I would need to go into the shop the following week for a refund for the missing items. I said I felt that wasn’t enough given the fact we had had to go to another shop so that everyone could eat not to mention running around. Woman didn’t see the point. I said if a chippy can’t get an order right for 4 people it’s poor. She said ‘ I don’t need to listen to this, have you never made a mistake?’. Not the end of the world, but really annoying and they won’t be getting any more orders from us. They ruined a family tea basically, which was supposed to feed people after a long drive. To think I went out of my way at to use this chippy. Has changed hands I think and the attitude AND quality of food has deteriorated. Disappointing and they can keep the refund. They missed the point.

Good local chippy. Not open Saturday dinner when I normally have fish n chips.

Guaranteed nice food all the time. Get my grandad fish and chips every friday the only place he likes 👍

Great fish and chips, mince and chips.

Chips were so fresh, great chippy.

Awful, Put so much salt on it was inedible. Chips were so dry they caught you in the back of The throat and were hard to chew. Used to be a great chippy, been taken over and sorry to say I won't be back.

Quick and friendly service, tasty food!

Don't want to go into detail. I just advise everyone to go to a different chippy. I don't understand how it's gone so down hill since Tommy chow had it. I've been served food you wouldn't feed the seagulls. I'm sorry for leaving a bad review but you need to up your game and lower the price.

Absolutely awful chips burnt to death and freezing cold I haven’t been to this chippy for a while but I was told it had improved clearly not.. a real shame..

Lovely ladies, lovely food.......

Fast clean and friendly service

It was nice. Had fish and chips, with a buttered muffin. Everything was cooked fresh and perfect. Very hot food and the staff were fantastic.

First class fish, chips and peas. Waited for a few minutes, fish done as ordered. New ownership.

This chippy has been terrible for years, the sisters that ran it couldn't have cared less, the food was awful. However it has changed hands hooray, tried chips and gravy with a meat pie to tonight and it was really very good. Not a warm up in site, chips definately cooked this week and the meat pie was juicy not dried up as previous, the gravy was tasty, warm and smooth, I hope the new owners keep it up.

This place maybe busy but that’s because it’s the best in Hyde. The staff are really friendly and the food is really tasty.

Gorgeous fish, chips and gravy and staff are brilliant.

Whenever I've been here the food has always been exceptional, the portions a really generous.

I always loved this chippy but tonight I went and the pudding wasn't Hollands and the curry has changed and the peas not nice at all :(

Amazing food with generous portion, very friendly staff too!

Managed to catch this place open. Had S&K pie chips peas n gravy bluming amazing. Proper English chippy.

Had tea last night for here with my Son. Friendly staff and my son said while eating it “This is new favourite chippy!”

Great fish but mushy peas a bit hard.

Always a long wait, always waiting for chips, and costs a fortune compared to other Chippies.....Curry is nice

Good traditional English chippy just how they used to be

Great food. Excellent customer service.

Probably the best Fish & Chip shop in the area! Just be aware they are currently cash only.

Just Ace . Busy so we book ahead . Lovely polite staff.

Nice chippy, good food and friendly staff

Delicious food, friendly staff.

The chips here should be advertised as SCRAPS because every time we get chips its tiny little end pieces of potatoe fried,fish isnt bad but haddock only

Had fish chips pea and gravy. Pea like water. The fish and chips was un head able like card board. The home made chicken curry was the worse I have tried. Packet sandwich chicken in yuk. All in the bin. Definitely cooked hours before and definitely not fresh

Fantastic fish and chips. Fish was made fresh to order. The mushy peas and curry sauce were also of a very good standard. Staff are also very polite and friendly. Will be my regular fish and chips shop even though I live 20 minutes away.

Lovely little village chippy..Staff very nice..Food was really nice x

This chippy has been around a few years now, and has grown into the best chippy in the area. Has excellent fish, perfect chips, proper chippy gravy. They serve Holland’s pies as well.

Fish chips english curry just lovely

Lovely fish and chips, freshly made... Seemed to be a good choice, too.

First time I have used this chip shop as I only recently moved to the area. Superb, friendly staff, lovely fish with crispy batter and chips cooked just right. Thank you.

Can't complain. Chips not dipping in oil. Cook hot oil.

Brilliant chip shop. Great food. And service to match. Have been a customer here for years.

Thin battered fish were excellent, but unfortunately not matched by the chips which are usually much better

Meat and Potato Pie, Chips, Peas and Gravy... Excellent...

Great food. Fish was tender and tasty.

Food wonderful, staff very friendly

We have been here a few times now and overall the food is generally pretty decent, it's just a shame whenever you get chips it's always full of the scraps. Fish has always been good though 👍

Delicious, excellent value, best in area and great sense of humour.

The next best fòod before a Sunday Roast 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

Nice chips along with a great price. I would say this is the cheapest place you could buy a full meal and that doesn't mean the quality drops. It is at LEAST as good as every other chippy, if not better. Would highly recommend to anyone. Full of nice staff. Easy to visit on my way home and I will go every time I can.

Pleasant staff serving decent food.

Love fish and chips, just not from here. Staff were friendly, however despite the food being freshly made it was swimming in grease.

We had fish chips and peas for tea it was horrible fish was dry and thin batter was dark and tough yuk in the bin it all went

I visited here today. We had been working locally and fancied something warm but didnt have alot of money on us. So thought we would call at a local chip shop for a munch. Long gone are the days when all the family could eat for a 10 er, now you can only just feed 1 for that.I had the shock of i life time £6.80 for chips peas and curry twice I nearly choked. I have visited a few chippys in the local area and this would normally average £5.00. Bring back tommy chow

Missing items - Again Great chippy Fresh fish but every single time I go and order for 3 or 4 meals they always forget soemthing. Last time it was the peas, the time before a fish and this time my whole pudding chip peas and gravy. You go back and they kick off saying they checked it... Then you have to fight the queue when you drive the mile back again.

Best chippy around that's English

Lovely crisp chips and fish can be lightly battered if liked. Well organised making sure what customers want as soon as they arrive so their order of fish cooking while waiting their turn to be served means no delay. Friendly staff always busy so they have much custom.

Great chippy great fish and lovely girls serving

Fantastic chips but the sausage wasn't great!

Pudding chips n gravy with salt simply astounding!!!

Girls are so friendly and good food

Great chips, great fish and friendly people.

Great fish and chips as well as fair prices

Very nice chippy however it is advertised as being open until 8 PM and when I went in at 7.45 they said they were not cooking anymore fish. Weird kind of chippy that doesn't cook fish! If you want fish go early bit it is very nice once you get the food.

The best chippy for miles! The fish is brilliant, batter is crispy, not a soggy mess like you get elsewhere. Pies are yum and the chips are the best!!! Keep up the good work guys xxx
