Very poor. Chips tasted not fresh like reheated. Had steak pudding, suet was thick and tough and the base was hard and very little filling. Fish was no better. We all left most of the meals. We won’t be going again

Chips cooked to perfection, soft and fluffy on the inside, nice and crispy on the outside and,importantly, piping hot! Perfectly salted and vinegared by the polite, friendly and efficient counter assistant. I may never be in Clitheroe ever again but I won’t forget my delicious portion of chips and mushy peas!

Called in before going to the brewery round the corner. This is an excellent traditional chippy. I had a most amazing thick cut scallop on a barm cake for less than two pounds. Chippy very clean inside and pleasant staff

...to a perfect 16mile bike ride through the idyllic Pendle/ Clitheroe villages. Great fish and chips eaten in lovely late sunshine by the river at Edisford Bridge, 5 mins cycle away - gorgeous. Fish and chips is not a cheap tea anymore but this was a good portion ( which would probably have fed two older appetites)....so good value and especially lovely fish. Excellent and pleasant service too. Highly recommended.

Called in for a easy lunch on are way back from shopping, their was only myself in the shop and I ordered fish and chips twice chips and gravy, two cartons of gravy and one carton of mushy peas. The two men behind the counter just didn’t seem bothered to serve me, I think I was in around 40 minutes, I asked 1 of the men what was the hold up and he didn’t answer. The fish and chips were good but the chips and gravy were leftovers and they were cold and soggy. I’ll have to be desperate to call again.

Very slow but everything cooked to order. We ordered 8 fish and chips including one Gluten free. Whilst the service was slow at least as the fish were cooked they were placed on their side to reduce grease content. All the fish and chips were excellent particularly the Gluten free one.

After taking my order only 2 people I front of me I actually waited 45 mins for my food I was on the verge of asking to cancel the 2 trays of chips. The 2 assistants well 1 of the girls seemed to be doing everything other one clueless. The man owner I guess was quite abrupt with them. On getting then we got our order and the food was vile my husband now feels quite unwell. I threw mine away we won’t ever go again. The shop was total chaos.

Along with family and friends, i have visited this fish and chip shop regularly over the past three years. The food is absolutely delicious, In all honesty I’ve never tasted better fish and chips. You can tell by the taste the care that is put into the cooking. The customer service is excellent, and you are always greeted with a smile. I highly recommend visiting them.

Bought fish and chips for myself the batter was slimy and under cooked. Got sausage and chips for kids the sausages had a funny off taste and chips where burnt but soggy! Which suggest they have been sat around for ages. The whole lot went in the bin worst chippy i have ever seen! As a chef myself i find it hard 2 understand how someone could serve that crap to customers

Well, I had a chip shop in Yorkshire in the 1970s for a time, tutored by a Blackpool man, from the fish friers federation. I love haddock, cooked with lard as in Bradford etc. OK, no dripping in Lanky. But, having pre-ordered I thought that "fish cooked to order", as two 5star reviews state that, they would be nice and juicy and tasty! No! They were removed from the heating cabinet above the frying pans; four there when I entered and two left, when we obtained our order; having had to stay outside per China Crisis [Good group] COVID regs. Now, if it had been explained, hence the dryness of the fish, I would have accepted them. The chips, by the way, made I would guess with new potatoes, even after being carried home, via a late bus, were very good. Overall, the service was very good and the staff were very amenable, but a little honesty would go a long, long way.

Whilst caravanning in the area we were recommended to visit this chippies. We were not disappointed. Very clean chippie and friendly staff and the fish and chips were superb with very large portions. This has got to be one of if not the best chippie in Clitheroe. Just wished there was a chippie as good in Blackpool where we live but more interested in profit here instead of quality. No hesitation in recommending this chippies to anybody.

I have been a couple of times and the food is ok. This time the gravy was extremely salty, so much that I couldn't eat it and the haddock (they had no cod) was overcooked and dry. Chips were nice.

brilliant food as always and building has been repainted. Food great and the business looks fabulous ☺ he's also had new up to date menus made as well and a new, more clearer menu board inside the shop so alot easier to choose from. Everything is all clean as always, and the owner was telling me he's recently had his yearly food higiene inspection, which he passed with flying colours and is still a 5* rated business. Love coming to this chippy when in the area, it's definitely the best.

We arrived just as they closed although the door was not locked. When we told them we had come especially for gluten free fish and chips they stayed open just for us and prepared our order. We chatted to them about how they manage their gluten free regime and were completely reassured and best of all the fish and chips were delicious - thanks guys!

Por último, un "fish and chips" donde te sientes que has encontrado con alguien que piensa acerca de sus clientes, en vez de verlas como una mercancía en el que conseguir muchas porciones de mierda abajo se posible. Un caballero no desde la zona (probablemente por qué ha tenido tan difícil), pero con una gran personalidad que quiere hacer lo mejor para sus clientes. No, al menos su alabanza, y debido sin duda retraso aquí. Pescado suaves, patatas fritas bien que en realidad no estábamos nadando en grasa. No tengo más que decir.

Elegí este "fish and chips", basado en los comentarios mencionados. He de decir que no a estas críticas. Aunque la comida estaba recién hecha, la masa de pescado era plana y correosos, no crujiente como la que se muestra en las imágenes. Las patatas fritas eran similares. En el lado positivo, algunos inusuales, como opciones de menú, calamares y tailandés pasteles de pescado. El personal era muy amable y servicial, si no un poco desorganizado. No sé si esto sólo fue un mal día. Creo que parte del problema es el embalaje, cajas de poliestireno de aquellos alimentos y hacer que el sudor se pone pasada. He estado en una tienda de chips que utiliza cajas de cartón y esto hace que la comida más fresca y secadora.

Hi we have been here a few times and travel half an hour to get here because their fish and chips are simply the best in the ribble valley. They also do wonderful gluten free as well so it suits mum to the ground. Everything is of the highest freshest standard and cookedc frsh to order , not sat standing luke warm like most other chippys. The staff and owner cannot do enough for you. Keep up the excellent work, we are going back later today for lunch

Called in this Tuesday teatime 8th Sept. The chips came off a flat metal tray and had obviously been warmed up from dinner time left overs. They were greasy and not very nice to eat and my wife and I had to leave them and throw away. Sorry to tell you this as you have always provided a very good meal. Why save leftover chips to serve later when it puts at risk your reputation and threatens a loss of custom.

Visited here yesterday eve for our tea, been before & never had any complaints, the only reason I haven't given 5stars is because of the waiting time (I appreciate everything is made fresh to order, but its just no good waiting 20 mins if ur in a rush) perfect chips and fish and the spud pie was exceptionally good and rather large! Defo go again, just not if I'm in a hurry :D

It had taken us years to find a fantastic chippy, bit on the expensive side, but always served with a smile and tasty. The last few visits we took advantage of the phone order system, so your wait ( SHOULDN'T ) be as long. However, regardless of the time of pick up, still having to wait around 10-15 mins. The last telephone order I made was to eat just before we set off on holiday. Our order was taken and time given for 7pm and order number. On arrival the chipshop was jam packed. I gave my order number and waited and waited. The lady owner then shouted out for all the customers to hear, there was no order 3 and I must have phoned a different chip shop ????!!!!. I was a bit flummaxed and knew I had made my order with Aldo. He then recalled my call, but must have misplaced and asked for the order again. I was left waiting just over 25 mins when we needed to dash off to travel through the night. over £25 was spent and no apology given for their mistake or for the wait. If you have a telephone order system this should be honoured, otherwise cancel it. We won't go again, I was left embarrased and was delayed.

I have been coming here since the 1970's when it was Freddie Bush's and successive owners have turned out good food. Aldo and his wife, Olga couldn't be more friendly and welcoming and their fish and chips is consistently excellent. We are regular customers coming here weekly and can't recommend it highly enough.

This is the best chippy for miles around. Every time we go there the food is excellent and a very friendly service too. The fish is always freshly cooked and the batter so crispy and fragrant it melts in your mouth. The chips are always properly cooked and good size portions. they offer a wide variety of things that you will not find in other chippies like a foot long sausage or a rag pudding that my son loves so much. also very nice curry , gravy and proper mushy peas.They have recently introduced an outdoor sitting area with few tables and chairs in the side garden. Sometimes there is a bit to wait for your food, but we really don't care because it is always worth it.Highly Recommended !

I think that they serve the best fish and chips in Clitheroe. The food is always cooked fresh, you are asked if you want fish as you enter and it is put in the fryer there and then. Only once in several years of visits have they not had my choice of fish. Definitely worth a visit.

You can tell somewhere is good when there are people waiting and nobody minds waiting. You go in and order and the food is cooked to order - mainly because as soon as it's cooked, it's wrapped up and out of the door! The chips are well cooked, as are the fish with a crisp, well flavoured batter. This is a great chippy and well worth a visit.

We moved from the south 10 years ago, and was under the impression that the north had the best fish and chips, but having visited all the take aways in Clitheroe we found the best Fish and Chips in the area was at The Calfs head in Worston, and found this very odd.In recent years new owners at Whalley Road Chippey have brought the quality back up to standard, producing light crsipy batter, wrapped arround suculent fish, and the chips are perfect, lovely savory ( not sweet) crsipy chips, just what the taste busds are expecting.If you want takeaway fish and chips in Clitheroe, Whalley Chippy is the place to go.

My wife and I came across this quaint tea shop quite by chance, as it is on the outskirts of the village and laid back from the road behind a small cobbled forecourt.On entering we found it contained eight tables and quite busy for a Saturday afternoon.We ordered coffees and sandwiches which were made to order and absolutely delicious.I shall definitely return and tell my friends about it.Im not certain of the opening hours,so will need to check before I return.I thoroughly recommend it.

So just got bacon and sausage baton and I got one bacon one sausage for 5.50 and to top it off it was cold and chippy sausage. Joke off a place will not be going again . And there is dogs running around in the kitchen
