About Briercliffe Chippery
Briercliffe Chippery is a fish and chips takeaway at 167 Briercliffe Rd in Burnley, and it has been trading for over 20 years. The Lamb Persian and Chicken Persian each come on a choice of rice, chips or naan, so the base is the customer's decision. Pizza is sold by the slice.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the lamb Persian on chips, praising the tender lamb, the plentiful portion and the sauce, with the chicken Persian, offered on rice, chips or naan, drawing similar enthusiasm. Close behind are the chips themselves, which one visitor found better than any UK chips they had tried, and the chicken doner and chips with sauces. The fish and chips, the chicken and lamb karaahi and pizza sold by the slice also earn praise. Many describe good value, generous portions and friendly customer service, and several call it the best chippy in Burnley. The complaints are less frequent but specific. One reviewer received an Asian special pizza with no chillies, found it inedible and says the shop did not replace it when they phoned. Another says the chicken on a pizza was cut as large as curry pieces, and a third wished staff covered their hair while serving food. One reviewer describes ordering the chicken Persian for three people and finding all of it enjoyable, including the chips.

“The food that we had ordered was wrong. We had asked for an Asian special- keep in mind we had come here quite a few times before and the food was never a problem, but for some reason today they never added any chilli’s to an Asian special which is a basic ingredient. The pizza itself was disgusting, so much that we couldn’t eat it and had to throw it to waste. We had told them everything yet they still hadn’t got it right. When we had called them they didn’t replace the pizza and just said that they will keep an eye on it which they should always be doing. We couldn’t book a taxi either because it was too much of a hassle. We have got kids at home and they were left hungry.”
