Whiteside's in Bolton

WOW! Fantastic food, everything perfect, piping hot and so delicious. Great price too. Never used before but will defo be back in the future.

Re heated chips, very, very disappointing. Charged full price for chips that had obviously been re cooked. They tasted like old, rock hard chips.

Very good a staff a so nice the curry is so good the chips and the other things are sooooo good 😊 I hope you like it and have a good day

the fish and chips are not great at all our order included pudding chips and gravy the puddings where eaten but all off us left the chips undercooked and didn't even look like proper chips.its quite expensive so was definitely expecting better quality it used to be good a few years ago .We won't be rushing back

Rude girl on phone when you ring up and even more so as she just hangs up on you. Delivered the wrong order multiple times which is frustrating and upsetting.

In one word "disappointing" fish poor, chips weren't cooked properly and as for miserly portions !!!

One of the best fish and chip shops in Bolton. Iv been here now a number of times and they never disappoint.

The title says it all. Properly cooked chips and crispy battered fish, what more do we need. Much superior to other local, greasy chippies banging out food, semi-cooked. Food is always fresh, hot and on point. I take friends from other countries there when they ask for 'real English' fish and chips. They have never failed to impress.

Consistently high quality food produced at a reasonable price. Food cooked fresh from order as you enter. Like the choice of Haddock as well as Cod. Fish and Chips, or Steak Pudding, Chips, Peas and Gravy. Very amenable and courteous staff, its popularity with the public speaks volumes. Few chippies of this high quality to be found these days. Memories of my youth - hope it continues to prosper in the coming years!

Always a queue when I go, but that's because it's so popular. Good food well cooked, and friendly staff.

We all love fish and chips from Whitesides - lovely staff as well. Have been coming to Whitesides for years and will continue.

Seen the advert outside this clean looking takeaway and just wanted to check it out. It is Friday night at 6PM and I have been hard at it all week and didn’t fancy cooking and this place was calling to be tried. People were queuing outside so I was expecting a long wait but thought it must be worth trying. Upon entering I was asked if I would like some fish. Which shows the fish is freshly cooked to order. I prefer haddock to cod but they had sold out of haddock so I had a cod instead. While the staff served the customers in front of me, my fish was cooking and when I reached the counter, my fish was just ready which means i didn’t have to wait for long either. It was a delicious looking golden brown colour and looked really appetising. The chips looked perfectly cooked, not anemic and not over cooked. We ordered a large fish, a large chips with a carton of curry sauce and a chip sandwich. The cost was a touch over £8 which I feel was reasonably priced. When we got home, everything was still piping hot and the chips were crispy on the outside with a mash potato consistency on the inside. The taste took me back to what a real chip should taste like. The potions are generous and we couldn’t finish them all but they were that delicious we really did our best to finish them. The fish was cooked to perfection, it broke very easily with the back of a fork and tasted fresh and delicious. Although I am not a fan of batter, this fish was crunchy and very tasty. Although you could find cheaper, you would be very hard pushed to find better tasting. I would recommend this for anyone wanting a quick and easy meal which is reasonably priced that actually tastes decent as well.

The food is lovely it’s the staff that are the problem I only went in for chips and gravy with scraps the lady serving wasn’t paying attention to me just chatting to other customers and staff when I got home she only forgot the gravy and the scraps so just had chips!!! No customer wants to know what you did at the weekend just be polite smile and get the most simple order right

I eat lots of chips from loads of different places and am always looking to try new ones out - Whitesides looks new from the outside, but don't let this fool you! The chips were very poor quality and were burned and the gravy tasted like dirty water!

Best fish and chips in the Bolton area. Choice of freshly cooked cod or haddock in regular or large (huge) sizes with crispy chips. Even the peas and normal or fruity curry are tasty. Staff are also very helpful & friendly.

If you see a queue outside a chippy you know it's for a reason. Great fish cooked to order not hanging about..friendly staff..good service. Can't fault the place

The fact that people are happy to queue to get the delicious fish and chips speaks for itself. Lovely freshly cooked fish which are huge. Friendly staff, good service.

Until last week was a very good chippy but it seems to be going on a downhill slope I got fish and chips last week and they ended up in the bin I could not eat them so offered to the dog and he turned is nose up. I always give a place a second chance so I went again and they was as bad. Certainly won't go again

My gran goes every Saturday religiously. The food is always fresh and tasty. The staff are always friendly and service is great. Can't fault the place

You know a good chippy by how many people are willing to queue outside in the rain to get their chippy tea, ( thats what I'm doing while writing this review) . Easily the best chippy in Bolton it you don't mind queuing up.

very friendly staff and the portions are just enormous, the fish is done to perfection and the chips are crispy and yummy

Just outstanding fish and chips.Perfectly cooked.Crispy battered cod and chips.Best regular fish and chippy food we have eaten in years!It's the way we remember this food should be.Good fresh products.Friendly greeting and local banter among regulars.Easy parking on busy roadside or just local off-street.Well worth a journey even for a take-a-way to eat out or in the vehicle.Best in the North West to say the least!No regional "gastropub" with costly menu prices could even touch it for quality in our experience.
