About Ocean Chippy

Ocean Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway on Aylmer Road in Leicester, working from a 109-item menu that reaches well past the fryer. Alongside small and large fish and chips, fish cakes and chips by the portion, the counter turns out pizzas, kebabs including a large chicken kebab and a kebab wrap, and cheeseburgers, so a single order can cover several appetites. Food is cooked to order rather than held ready, and kebabs come with salad and sauces served separately. Payment is cash only, and there is a cashpoint at the Post Office a few shops down for anyone caught short. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and a wait at the counter is common even at quieter moments. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Pizza draws the most comment. Two reviewers call it tasty, beautiful and excellent value, though one diner found the slices dripping and falling apart, as if rushed. Regulars describe fresh food, generous portions, a very clean shop and customers greeted politely. A cheese burger and a kebab wrap are also singled out as nice, and one long-time customer says the fish and chips have always been great. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says a young staff member claimed no fresh sausages were left, so they paid for dry, overcooked ones, then returned shortly after to find fresh sausages on display. Another says waits for a basic order have grown long even when the shop is quiet, and that an item was forgotten for the first time. One reviewer says the shop is cash only and this was not clearly signposted, sending them to a nearby cashpoint. One diner's large chicken kebab came with salad and sauces packed separately so the dog could share the chicken.

“I would personally say that this chip shop is possibly the best in england with professional chefs, great service (quick and simple) and it is overall amazing. Another thing that i would like to mention is how beautiful the pizza is.I would certainly recommend it. Overall, this is a great restaurant based in Leicester, Branstone.”

“i had a horrible experience with the young lad working there, i was in to get some fresh food like they advertise and i asked if there was any chance for some fresh sausages to be made and that i was happy to wait because the ones on display looked withered and dry, the guy lied to me and said that whats on display was all they had left, i believed him and paid for the available stock only to come back 10 minutes later and find more fresh sausages on display after making me pay full price for dry overcooked sausages. overall they are very dishonest as business and they cheat their paying customers for and extra pound, im sure the other staff are not like that but its a shame because one selfish person can stain the name and reputation of a local chippy”

“Visited Ocean Chippy recently and had a mixed experience. First off, it's worth noting that the place is cash only, which wasn’t clearly signposted. We had to walk to the Post Office cashpoint a few shops down just to withdraw money — not …”

“Been coming to this Chippy since I was a kid and the quality of food has always been great and I'd always say this review should be 5 stars. However in recent times the wait times have become ridiculous since the two young guys have started working there. Never busy when I go yet have to wait 25 minutes for a very basic order. They also forgot something from my order for the first time tonight. Needs sorting because standards are seriously dropping.”
