Quick info
About Charlie's Fish & Chips
Charlie's Fish & Chips is a fish and chips takeaway at 151 Bolton Rd in Bolton. The menu pairs its fish and chips with a second set of dishes, so one order can cover both: salt and pepper ribs, crispy chilli beef and egg fried rice all sit alongside the main fish and chips range. The salt and pepper dishes also come as chicken, wings or a mix, which gives a group a few options to share. Gravy is on the menu for those who want it with their chips. Orders are placed at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes are the most named draw. One reviewer's family orders the salt and pepper chicken every time, and another finds the salt and pepper mix plentiful, spicy and better than ever. Close behind are the fish and chips, the gravy, dim sum with chips, and chilli crispy beef with egg fried rice. Several also praise how fast orders come out, even when it is busy. The Chinese menu draws the sharpest complaints too. Some reviewers call the salt and pepper wings and ribs tough and nearly inedible, with little chilli and only a scattering of onions. Others describe crispy chilli beef as chewy, bbq ribs as dry, and the chicken balls as the worst they have tasted. Main dishes are said to have very few vegetables, and a few feel standards have slipped from earlier years. Two reviewers mention a rude counter assistant. One describes chips that were busted up, barely cooked, greasy and apparently reheated.

“Used to enjoy food from here but last few occasions it has been poor...had salt and pepper wings and ribs and they were so tough they were bordering inedible...same with crispy meat plattter, salt and pepper dishes contain so little chilli/spice and a scattering of onions...realise times are hard but standard of food has declined so much”

“Been going here since the 70s new the original charlie food then was very good and cheap in time changed hands but always been good. At the present time now I only visit on odd occasions and I don't find it as appetising as it was i remember when you had to queue up outside.fond memories”

“The food is always good here I'm a plain eater and only realy like English food and the gravy here is very good I also enjoy the fish and chips But one of the best things about this takeaway is how fast they are at getting you served no matter how busy they are you never wait very long”

“Lovely food but the costumer service is awful. Absolute rip off. 3rd time been there every time the same service. So greedy they wrapped my chips with paper that they supposed to warp the actual box with and that’s so unhygienic and for 30p you get sauce and you should see the amount of sauce it’s literally the size of pea and for £1.10 you get the sauce but literally the amount of 10p and less never again. GREEDY UNHYGIENIC AND RUDE.”

“Have been going here for some time and actually it is usually quite good food, but only seems when you go between Tuesday-Thursday. Made the mistake of going tonight Friday, but having in mind the avoidance of usual dry, pre cooked stuff, went late to get the mid week experience. Fish put in to order and relatively fresh chips. Get home the largest, thickest, long hair baked in and out of the fish. When trying to pull it out, the fish literally spiralled. Now, I have worked in a kitchen, but the 'attention' to this was impossible to miss. L, both before frying and certainly after frying and wrapping. Unfortunately, due to late visit cannot go back to show the thick, 18 inch hair covered in batter in sporadic places, as it weaved in and out. Enjoy your food, if that is being passed for selling, imagine what happens with the food not visible.”
