About Mathews Chippy

On Stanley St in Grimsby, Mathews Chippy is a fish and chips shop that cooks in beef dripping rather than oil. The fish, chips and peas set is offered as a standing special, priced at £3.50, with gravy, curry sauce or beans available to add alongside. Scraps and mushy peas round out the standard order, and fishcakes are available as an add-on. The shop takes walk-ins only, and payment is cash only, cards not accepted. It opens evenings, Tuesday to Friday, closed Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays, with doors open from 4:30 PM. Queues form down the pavement, especially in the evenings.

    “The chips were fantastic and the fish got better as I ate it. For the price, the quality is unmatched. There were quite a few people queuing but the staff were efficient, kind and helpful. We came all the way from Preston to try this and we are more than happy that we did! Thank you so much!”

    “If you are looking for a proper, authentic fish and chip experience, look no further than Mathews Chippy. I’ve been meaning to visit for a while, and it completely lives up to the reputation. The standout for me is undoubtedly their signature haddock; you can really taste the difference because it’s cooked in traditional beef dripping, which gives it that perfect, rich flavor that’s hard to find these days. ​It’s easy to see why this spot is so popular—even with the queues that form down the pavement, it is absolutely worth the wait for food this fresh. My advice to anyone planning a visit: make sure to arrive early before the 4:30 PM opening time if you want to get ahead of the crowds, and definitely remember to bring cash with you, as they do not accept credit or debit cards. Everything about the experience feels genuine and high-quality. A well-deserved 5 stars!"”

    “Super value for money. You might get bigger fish elsewhere but you will pay a premium for it. Fish, chips and mushy peas or curry sauce or beans or gravy only £3.00. service is first class and food always cooked fresh because of how busy it is. Cash only. Here we are now after Easter ,2026 and prices have had to go up. We now pay a heady £3.50. Still superb value for money. Good banter in shop with all the friendly staff”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return for the fish, chips and mushy peas meal, repeatedly praised as superb value, with several noting they travelled from Hull and Preston to try it. The haddock, cooked in beef dripping, is the most named draw, described as fresh, tasty and perfectly cooked, while the thick mushy peas, the gravy and an old fashioned fishcake also earn mentions. Onion rings and curry sauce appear as cheap extras. Staff are called friendly, efficient and kind, and the shop is described as spotless. The main trade-off is portion and consistency: a few say the fish is not the largest, and one found the chips bitty and hard on the outside. Queues out the door are common, and one reviewer suggests arriving before opening. Several note it is cash only, and one mentions the price rising to £3.50 after Easter yet still calling it superb value. One diner closes by ordering a box of fish, chips and peas and eating it in the car.
