Village Fish & Chip Shop in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Used to be the best chippy. But has been taken over at some point recently, all the OG staff have left (which says a lot). The food is absolutely disgraceful. The chips are no longer proper chippy chips, they are like chunky frozen Iceland chips. Disgusting. If you want the worst chippy experience of your life, go here. To the new owners, please, for the love of god, give it back to the previous ones. You’ve absolutely destroyed a village classic and ruined literally everyone’s after club fish and chip experience. Soz, not soz.

Ordered food online , after 15 minutes order been cancelled. And no one picked the phone .Avoid this place .

Food is great but sadly the customer service ruins it. The staff were stressed out because it’s pride. Understandable but just be kind to your customers. I live across the road so it’s easy for me but i’ll pass from now on.

Staff have awful customer service and stinking attitude.

Ordered Fish & Chips and was very disappointed. It was my favourite chippy when I was a student in Manchester but looking at the reviews it's really gone down the hill. The chips were solid in the middle and the fish was slimy and undercooked with the batter leaving a lot to be desired. What a waste of £12. Avoid.

Disgusting food and very very rude staff. Flies all over the place too which speaks to their hygiene. Avoid!!!

Just ordered from here and wish I’d read the reviews first! Chips were wet and soggy and the fish was undercooked with liquid batter

The best place for food after a night out! We came from Satan's and I knew this place was vegan friendly but didn't realise they have a whole vegan menu! Battered sausage and chips was delicious, with plenty of curry sauce on top. We had a little wait for fresh chips but don't mind that at all, and service was good!

I had chips gravy they gave me too old chips maybe the chips was there more than 8 hours . I never see chips hard like stone .never buy again from them.

What has happened to this place it used to be really friendly and great food now its rude staff and dreadful food, such a shame eont be bakc

The only good thing about this place is the speed. Perhaps they could slow down instead of serving battered fish with the batter still liquid on the inside. And maybe slowing down could also help them remember to send out the missing items on our order. This place is only for village drunks who can’t comprehend what they are eating. Avoid.

Only writing reviews when something is genuinely that bad. The batter on the fish was raw, must’ve been in the fryer for 30 seconds. Couldn’t eat any of it as it made me feel sick. Ordered on Uber eats, restaurant forgot a battered sausage. Uber would only refund half the cost. Called the restaurant and kindly asked if I could get a free sausage next time I’m nearby to make up for the money lost. Rude male on the phone refused to help.

Forgot sauces but food was ok x

I really enjoyed my visit to The Village Chippy! I am from The United States and no visit to England would be complete without a visit to a chippy.

Would give zero stars if there was an option. Third time in a row I’ve attempted coming here and closed. Even thou online says it is open . Such a disgrace. Used to be a great chippy, it should shut down

The fish is very oily, almost inedible, nothing has any taste. They give a huge portion. The atmosphere of the food bar is poor.

Me and my friend got diarrhoea and upset stomach , Luckily it was last only for 1 day Food hygiene i think need to improve

delivery driver ignore what I was saying on the phone to the point I had to hang up and give up on the order. the app changed the address to where I train which I've only used once. asked if the address was possible to change and the lady on the phone just quietly kept saying no as if talking to someone else. unfortunate events as I love the food here.

Charged in full... with tip.. order not delivered... string family..

Arrived in town late and starving.. ordered for delivery. went outside to wait for the driver.. watched the car circle on the app before seeing it show up as delivered... Place does not pick up phone...charged in full with 3 pound tip... starving family...

Arrived in town late.. ordered online.. charged in full with tip... nothing delivered.. Store does not answer phone... Stuck in a foreign country, starving family...

I was served there yesterday (Saturday night about 3 am) by a woman who clearly does not want to be there. She was really mean and went non verbal when asked to correct her mistake. This behavior was expected as it is a reoccurring situation but this was the final straw and we do not wish you good luck, cya

What happened to this place? Used to be the best chippy in Manchester. Now as awful as the rest!

So inconsistent here. Sometimes it is alright and often awful. Tonight was the latter; chips dry and bland and seemed like they'd been warmed up from a few nights ago.

Ordered fish and chips,x4 one is less than a quarter of the size of the other 3 not a meal for even a child

If you have a specific dietary requirement don’t order here. Had an allergy to something that I was unable to order without, only way to let them know was to call them after placing the order. Called over and over again at least 20 times and no answer. Thought I might be ok as the item in the pictures looked to be in a separate pot on the side but lo and behold it was smeared all over my pie. Food was also cold and that gravy is disgusting. Don’t do it to yourself, plenty of other chippy’s that are much better run.

Avoid and go elesewhere, chips were re-fried so many times they took on an orange colour, soaked in oil. Curry sauce was water thickened with flour and a sort of curry seasoning, absolute muck.

Seriously my first time in Manchester and wow never had such a good fish and chips my whole life! Friendly gorgeous ladies and price unbelievable

This place has really gone down hill with totally incompetent staff. Made an order and 45 min later my order arrived vut was the totally wrong order. Had new order put in. An hour later new order arrives and was wrong order yet again. Not to mention arrived stone cold and fury so must have been sat around. However, this is now common for this place to get the order wrong, every time I have ever ordered from these there is something missing from the order. I've let it slide in the past but this mess today was the final straw. I will never give these my custom again! There are much better chippys in town than this mess. How do you mess up an order that's written unless you simply can't read?

Be careful..they over charge you so you must check £8.05 for sausage chips and curry sauce..the menu says different, wont be going back and will be warning others..Vile

Had a delivery. The food was inedible. Chips absolutely soaked in grease. Cheap frozen chips deep fried,soggy. Worst chippy chips ive ever seen.Going straight in the bin. This place used to be fantastic. What's happened guys. Wont be returning.

missing a 6 quid pie I ordered. and the 3 lots of chips are inedible they are literally soaked in oil it's pouring out.

Delivered extremely quickly, 15 minutes before the earliest estimated time

it showed up on time. the chips were terrible and there was barely any batter on the battered sausage. wouldn't order again.

Terrible food. Security staff rude and violent. Needs to be shut down

Well.... as its good Friday I thought whilst at work in Manchester we will get chippy.....well sorry...NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! .. ORDER WAS WRONG. PEAS COLD... N BATTER WAS SOGGY!!!!!.. AND THE PRICE WAS EXTORTIONATE @!!!!.. AND GIRLS FORGET TO PUT SALT N VINEGAR ON !🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬.. FFS !!! ..

Delivery guy couldn’t find the address so food was cold. There was no drink in the order. The place wouldn’t answer the phone despite me ringing three times.

amy and megan was so loverly great customer service will deffo order again thank you we ordered a nice meal and it was loverly wrapped up for me

Very nice food but felt uneasy with an accusation. A bloke tried to take a bag of food that wasn't his and I was stood where it happened, I didn't do anything other than check the food was placed properly on the counter after it was returned by another customer and I remained in the same spot yet I was accused of trying to take it too. I get you have to be cautious but why would I still be stood in the shop if I was going to take the bloody bag? Was left feeling embarrassed as there were several people in the shop and didn't know how to react.

Person said its closed as they close in 5 minds and the member of staff said ."eeewww fat cow", Incrediclbly rude and judgemental. I went back to speak to a member of staff about the incident as this place is seen as a safe space and they confirmed that they had said eeeeeewww to my girlfriend for absolutely no reason as they did not say anything to the member of staff (i did). The member of staff waa the supervisor who also did not apologise for the comment the made towards my girlfriend when she was not even in the room

Chips OK but fish undercooked and pink. Very poor. Hopefully just a one off. Curry sauce nice

My legs shaking, if knew it was this was good I would bought arm bands

Lauren Michaela and Megan made us very welcome and delicious food

Food hasn't arrived, and the email system says it will get back to me "within a couple of days". Though of course, Just Eat has been quick and efficient about taking payment. Absolutely scandalously awful customer experience.

I ordered a curry chips today, which I have enjoyed many times before. I got given a gravy chips. When I went back to get it swapped, saying that I can't eat gravy because it's not vegetarian, I was told that the gravy was in fact vegetarian, but that the curry sauce wasn't. Now, I've had curry chips there before multiple times and been assured that it is vegetarian. Either way, whichever case is right, this is very upsetting to hear...

Great chippy in the city centre and lovely staff.

I've just had vegan buttered sausage and chips from here and they have an entirely separate vegan menu with such a wide choice of meat replacement. And the chips are a good chunky type. Proper chippy chips. I'll definitely be coming back.

First off staff were very rude when i walked through the door as if they didn't even want me to order food what kinda good place is that? Chips were horrible and the fish was even worse! Don't recommend this place at all.

Entered into the village fish and chip show, 2 ladies didn't acknowledge us at all. Food was pre cooked - helded in the hot hold so service was fast but the food was horrible. Dry, tasteless and definitely not enjoyable. Spent £20+ never again!

Staff were fine and the fish was nice but only a handful of the chips were edible. The potatoes were full of bruises and growths.

Great chippy with lovely staff especially Meg, always a smile 😊 and a chat

The village chippy in Manchester is an absolute gem. Open all hours for hungry punters to feast upon it delights..chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just perfect at any time of day..fish is great soft white and flakey, wrapped in a crispy batter.. There vegan sausages are superb. The staff are super friendly even when they've worked long hours to sever merry and tipsy customers into the wee hours.. I've got to give Full admiration and thanks to the lovely Meg an Dee. Always the stalwarts delivering great food with a massive smile and big friendly welcome. Big big big thank you to both Meg and Dee, The perfect hostesses with the mostesses. 😊. They are a credit to the business. I've no idea how it would ever survive without them..Bravo..

The worst meal I’ve had in a very very long time. First off it took 2 hours to be delivered. When delivered, the food was lukewarm at best. 2L bottle of juice missing, chicken nuggets taste of cardboard. Mashed potatoes not even eatable and the gravy is like nothing over ever seen before ! Pride themself advertising a 12 inch sausage and you get 2x 4 inch sausages at best. Chips were also extremely mushy and felt they were undercooked. Absolutely terrible, AVOID !!!

We made an order from here, they sent one out of the 4 meals and then we couldn’t get through to any one on the phone to help so was not good service at all.

Lovely Cod'n'chips. Crispy batter. Yumptious! Coming here on the regular from now on.

I'd class myself a regular now! Food is always great!

The battered sausage was so good

Such a good battered sausage that we went back for more

I grew up on village in the 1980s, work and live internationally now. Love a traditional chippy, prices a very reasonable and yes, it's clean.As I work in high end establishments involving food safety and hygiene and I was highly impressed. it's a lovely down to earth, warm, cosy and caring business. broke my foot on my first back in Manchester and they really were caring wonderful people. Tracey is a absolute legend,a real diamond, a keeper and I would hire her in a heartbeat in any service environment. thank you. This is how the whole village should be and I would recommend this place to everyone. Be nice, be kind in this little gem as they are not many of them left.

Lovely food and gorgeous, stunning, and friendly staff💞

Really good chips and lovely staff. Nearly threw my empties in the fridge at the back though by accident. defo good place to go for some food.

Vicky and Dee are lovely girls and best service and food ever. Couldn’t recommend a better spot !

The best battered sausage and chips that i’ve had tbh and for only £5.55. can’t complain at all. lovely staff too! will definetly be coming back

Always amazing food and welcoming folks! Just what ya need a on Friday. Plus, Vici is the best chippy-woman in town!

It's okay. The fish was thin and overcooked. The chips were better.

Food arrived cold . No salt and vinegar on chips

Go here for no less than 9 vegan options cooked to perfection by Vici and team! Fab thank you! 🤩

Best chippy, and great quick service

Grosse Portion aber ich habe noch nie sooo trockenen Fish bekommen wie hier. Die kultigen Ladies hinter der Theke dachten sich wohl das man spät abends den Leuten alles andrehen kann pff. Ganz klar eine Enttäuschung und keine Empfehlung!

Pie n mash excellent with mushy peas n gravy excellent 100%

Ordered through Uber, the order arrived stone cold. The chips are frozen chips, fish soggy! Please don’t waste your money. When I say disgusting, it’s no exaggeration, this is an honest review.

Nejlepší fish & chips v Manchesteru

Driver went all round Manchester, food was cold when arrived

called in for a little something to eat in between a couple of bars and ended up with a huge fish muffin . had to break both ends off first to fit the bread . excellent !

Awful chips that didn't even fill the box, small pie that the staff left upside down, rude atmosphere, etc.

Was never delivered and can't contact them at all

The fish and chips were delivered wrapped in paper, and the oil and the steam made the food very soggy. It's the first time I've seen a fish and chips without a container. Packing needs to improve.

By far the best chippy . Fast service, great food.. good prices .. and lots of offers

Excellent food and delivery. Many Thabks ☺️

The order wasn't complete, Their phone was constantly engaged, so couldn't complain.

Chips and pie not piping but ok gravy and peas was awfull peas not cooked properly hard

Just bought a portion of chips here, £2.45, so bad I binned the lot 2 minutes later.. no decent whole chips amongst them just the end bits hard with no potato inside.. I cannot believe anyone could serve up this rubbish only fit for the bin!! Obviously last night’s leftovers re fried.. avoid it !! Daylight robbery

Not a good experience. Went there at lunch time and ordered fish and chips. While fish was decent, most of chips were rock hard and just slightly hot so probably not cooked properly. Also, I asked for some salt but my meal ended up being too salty. No knife available but only some tartare sauce and a tissue just because I asked for it. Spent nearly 10 quid for a meal definetely not worth it!

Peas smelt weird chips burnt did not enjoy

The only thing was the chips arrived cold

This was my favourite chippy in Manchester. Until today. Ordered a dessert with custard with my fish and chips and they put the custard in a PAPER TRAY. It arrived with the custard absolutely everywhere dripping out of the bag. They had forgotten the drink and the peas and the chips are now oven chips mixed in with a couple of raw chippy chips? Honestly diabolical. Never again. Avoid.

This is my first time at this place. Upon arrival, the lady was smoking outside and said she was going to be a few minutes before serving us. She also claimed to be the owner of the place. In the meantime we're waiting I asked her a few questions to confirm their opening time. She then gave me a few hours (not sure if she was truthful). When she was ready she came inside and more customers showed up. When I tried to take a picture of the inside to show everyone, she flipped out and started to say I couldn't do that. She went out of her way to pretty much kick me out of the restaurant and demanded to see the picture. I told her I deleted the picture abd the one I had was blurry. Then she started to tell everyone passing by on the street that I took a picture and really was very upset about it. I hope you don't have the same experience and I never got to try the food.

The food arrived quickly but unfortunately it was not to be a nice meal. The food is bland and tasteless, the chips and chewy and feel like you’re eating cardboard and the batter is soggy. The curry sauce is bland and tasteless and although the gravy looks appetising and has a nice thick consistency the taste is very strange. Does not taste like a traditional chippy, very disappointed. Don’t waste your money here.

Avoid avoid avoid. I don't know what's happened to this chippy, as the food used to be gorgeous. The chips were completely burnt and weren't traditional chips at all - more like oven chips. The most shocking experience I've had with a chip shop. Must be under new management. Save your money and your stomachs! Utterly disgusting.

Çok yağliydi. Patatesler kötüydü. Aşırı yumuşaktı. Kimse olmamasına rağmen sipariş vermeden önce uzunca bir süre bekledik. Ilgilenme çok zayıftı.

Original order was wrong but the restaurant helped me sort it out and delivered the food promptly and some free food as an apology.

Staff too busy talking amongst themselves and ignore you when you say goodbye. Been here before and the food is usually alright but today I got half cooked chips.

Ordered from here tonight for first time, terrible food honestly, fish was soggy and mushy , no flavour atall, really disappointing. Also they gave us the wrong curry sauce and didn't send our 2 portions of mushy peas. The vegan gravy is nasty ,To be honest the chips were OK and the hollands pie was decent but you can't get a hollands pie wrong it's already made. In my opinion it's not a proper fish and chip shop. They mess about too much with all these different things on there menu trying to be posh and trying to please everyone but they are really bad at the bread and butty of a traditional English chip shop. I spent 36 pounds and I won't spend another penny there. I'd rather eat dry toast.

Food was great and arrived quickly, my only complaint is I was given the wrong drink. No big deal at the end of the day, definitely scratches the itch for a chippy tea

Honestly not great, asked for cod and chips and it was awfully. I dont even think it's actual cod

Wow. Just: wow. This was the worst chippy experience I’ve ever had. So bad my partner and I just laughed. Somehow the chips were both cooked and raw. Most likely cooked a few hours previous and just sat under a lamp. Guys, cook to order if you worry about wastage, if not, waste that trash. The curry sauce had a strange flavour. Not even sure how they did it: you add water to powder. Nothing else. How on earth did you make it taste so bad? It is almost impressive. The only thing that wasn’t messed up in some way was the bread roll. Thank heavens you haven’t figured out how to mess that one up, yet. Anyone on Uber eats or Deliveroo: clear your basket and look elsewhere. Otherwise - delivery and service were spot on.

I would suggest to try to improve a bit the quality of the chips, as those that I was served were very hard. The place is nicely located next to a nice colorful LGBT area.

Fun Chip shop , great to discover they have a board of Vegan options and they stay open to really late. Lovely friendly staff .

Excellent food, excellent delivery as usual!! Thanks guys! Defo ordering again xx
