Quick info
About Burnham Chippy
Burnham Chippy is a family-run takeaway in Leicester, serving from 64 Burnham Dr. The kitchen will cook cod in separate oil on request, which gives customers who want their fish kept apart from the main fryer a way to order it. Cod and chips is a large portion of fish, and the chips come with homemade tartare sauce or a homemade curry dipping sauce. The menu runs well beyond fish and chips, with cheesy chips, chicken shish, the Burnham mixed kebab, burgers, veggie burgers and salads.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the fish and chips, especially the cod with light, crispy batter and fluffy chips with a good crunch. Large portions come up repeatedly, with one diner noting a large cod barely fits on the plate. Homemade tartare sauce and curry sauce are praised as dips. Close behind is the wide menu, with the chicken shish, the mixed kebab, veggie burgers and salads all named by happy customers. Friendly staff are mentioned in nearly every review, and several describe quick service and food served piping hot. The one sharp complaint concerns a delivery order of cheesy chips that arrived cold and small, with a runny dipping sauce and no salt and vinegar. The reviewer says the person who took their call brushed off the request and never checked the order. Other diners mention that cod can be cooked in separate oil on request, that kids often get complimentary treats, and that the family running the shop hands out a few chips to nibble on while orders are prepared.

“Best chip shop in Leicester. People rave about Bucks and Grimsby but having tried them all I honestly prefer Burnham every time. The staff are friendly and they have a very wide variety of foods available on their menu. Would definitely recommend.”

“I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The cod is always fresh, with light, crispy batter that isn't greasy at all, and the chips are proper chippy chips – fluffy inside with a good crunch . The homemade tartare sauce is genuinely amazing, and their curry sauce is ace as a dip for both chips and fish . The family who run this place are always friendly and welcoming, and they even offer a few chips to nibble on while you wait . Portions are massive – a large cod barely fits on the plate – and they often throw in complimentary treats for kids . They also cook cod in separate oil if you ask, which is great for vegetarians or those eating Halal . It's got a perfect 5-star hygiene rating and is consistently voted one of the best chippies in the country for a reason . This is easily the best fish and chips in Leicester.”
