Quick info
About The Chip Company
On Botanic Ave in Belfast, The Chip Company serves fish and chips on a walk-in basis, with orders taken at the counter rather than by reservation. Chips appear as a side alongside other items on the menu, and the kitchen also prepares chicken goujons and pasties for those wanting something beyond the standard fish plate. The format keeps things simple, with no table reservations to arrange and customers free to drop in as they pass along Botanic Ave. The range covers a few different options beyond the core fish and chips, giving people a small choice of fried and baked items to pick from when they call in.

Customer Review Summary
Chips draw the most comment, and mostly negative: several reviewers call them greasy, tasteless or sloppy, with one saying most of a portion went in the bin and another describing bits of fried potato barely edible. Chicken is the next recurring complaint, with reviewers describing goujons and a burger as rotten or disgusting and nuggets that taste of old frying oil. One reviewer who ate the goujons reports contacting environmental health over concerns about salmonella. Another says they saw staff touching their faces and hair before handling food. A long wait, lukewarm food, smaller portions for the money and a missing dip and extra cheese also come up, along with a pasty one reviewer calls the worst in 45 years. Praise is real but thinner. One reviewer likes the fresh, fluffy fish, generous salt and vinegar, and buttered bap for a chip butty. Another found the chicken goujons outstanding, and a third praises the battered burger. A late-night visitor got two scallops after hours, and a delivery driver is called polite.

“Wrong in many ways!. Went here on the 4th June 2026 , was hungry after work and looking for takeaway. Found this place and went in and ordered. 1 Battered Burger in a bap, 1 Chip and 1 sausage. Order done , money taken. You get a receipt with a number on it, wait on that being called and your order was ready. Well, I thought it was the lottery and my number was never going to come out. Waited and Waited , and waited some more. Go up the counter and the person behind the counter says stand back up there, your order will be another 10 mins, now that bad attitude does not work with me but I was patient, so that 10 mins on top of the 10 mins I was already waiting for that order and it was not busy!. I do not have time for that nonense. Now, if all the food was good, I would over look the time it took, but it was not great. The Battered Burger was dead on, I cant fault that. Chips where dreadful tasteless bits of friend potato barely edible. The sausage, well if you go wrong with a sausage close the doors so it was fine. I also noted while waiting that some staff where scratching their faces or putting hands in their hair and then handling food, what the hell, basic hygene training please which I doubt they ever got. Makes me wonder what else they do before washing their hands!. Gives me the creeps. I cannot see me being back here and they probally do not care what people say. Whole area full of drunks, drugs and all other sorts of undesirables who cant taste the food and are used to arrogance. 3 Stars only for the Burger.”

“The only chippy in town that puts butter on your bap for a good chip butty. And as for their fish….its fresh fluffy and full of flavour and they’re not skimpy on their salt and vinegar. Staff are very friendly and service is great!”

“Worst chicken I’ve ever had… What a sad ending for a chicken, ending up in such a disgusting burger. Even the nuggets just taste like old frying oil. I would have given this place zero stars if I could”
