Quick info
About A1 Fish & Chips
A1 Fish & Chips is a fish and chip shop on Church St in Bolton that also runs a Chinese menu, so one stop covers both a chippy order and a Chinese meal. On the chippy side, chips can be ordered with sausage and gravy as a plate of their own. The Chinese side includes chicken foo young and king prawn curry, which gives the shop a second set of dishes beyond the usual fish suppers. Chips are cooked to order, so a portion is made fresh rather than taken from a holding tray.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the most common order, and the praise centres on sizeable portions and a huge fish, with one reviewer calling it the best around and another pleasantly surprised after nearly being put off by the reviews. Close behind, the Chinese dishes split opinion. The king prawn curry is called delicious and the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice the freshest in the area. Another diner found the spring rolls stale, the chicken in sauce tasting of fish, and the salt and pepper chips hard and dry. The sharpest complaint is decline, with several reviewers suggesting the shop changed hands. Chips are described as rock hard, the gravy on sausage chips and meat pie chips as gloopy and far too salty, and the latest fish order as awful. One caller on a Sunday evening was told chips would be a wait and went elsewhere. Staff are friendly and polite to some, though one found the service had no manners. Delivery occasionally arrived with missing items, which were quickly resolved.

“Just ordered food from a1 westhoughton fish and chips. The food is disgusting. Stay clear. We ordered salt and pepper chips and they were awful, hard, dry left overs with a few semi fresh onions thrown on top. My chicken in okay sauce tastes like fish, the chicken isn't real chicken. The okay sauce tastes like they have had abit of sweet and sour sauce aswell as okay sauce and just mixed the two together to make the dish. The spring rolls are stale like they were a few days old. My husband said his chicken foo young was okay but the chicken was too soft and sloppy. Its just not real meat. I wouldn't serve this to an animal let alone to customers. What a waste of nearly £30. We were looking forward to a Chinese as we have not had one for months. What a disappointment!”

“A Chippy without Chips !!!! Called in on Sunday at 8pm for a portion of chips - I was told they would be 15 minutes, consequently I went elsewhere so I didn’t have to wait. Shame as this has been our goto Chinese of late but unfortunately we won’t be using them or recommending them again.”

“Had we read the reviews prior we probably wouldn’t have gone. However, it was very good. We had fish & chips. The portions were quite sizeable and the fish was HUGE. In summary, pleasantly surprised 👍”
