Quick info
About Fountain Chippy
Fountain Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway at 197 Accrington Rd in Blackburn, and its menu goes beyond the chip shop standards. Naan is baked fresh, and the curries are made fresh daily, so a curry order can come with bread from the same counter. Fish and chips remain the base of the menu for anyone who wants the classic order. The shop runs on a walk-in basis, with no reservations. Customers can choose from the fish and chips, the fresh naan and the curries in a single visit.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who praise Fountain Chippy most often point to its breads, describing fresh naan and roti as speedy and healthful and calling the chapati and roti a good option. Close behind are the curries, said to be made fresh daily and to sell out quickly, and kebabs one reviewer calls good. One diner found the fish and chips spot on, and another called the donner tasty. The complaints are just as specific. One reviewer says three portions of fish and chips were binned because of old grease, pale chips and fish that had gone off, and another received a chicken burger with only sauce and salad inside. Several describe slow service, including chips quoted as a long wait and a chapati order still not ready after phoning ahead and waiting at the shop. One reviewer reports stomach cramps and diarrhea after a kebab they say was warmed in a microwave. Hair turns up twice, in a donner and in an order of chips that also arrived late.

“Absolutely vile, dirty, disgusting, horrible place. I went thinking it's a chippy, only to be told chips would take half an hour. So instead I got 1 samosa and a seek in kebab sandwich in naan. The samosa looked fairly dry until I noticed at least two spoonfulls of oil had dripped absolutely everywhere on my trousers. the seek kebabs where not fresh and were warmed up in the microwave. God knows how long they had been there. Anyway almost vomited a couple of hours later, had severe stomach cramps, and non stop diarrhea. food standards agency definitely need to pay a visit. safe to say I won't be recommending or going there ever again.”
