Quick info
About Burton Road Chippy
On Burton Rd in Lincoln, Burton Road Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway serving cod, haddock, and scampi alongside sausage, mushy peas, curry sauce, and scraps, with cans of dandelion and burdock at the counter. Gluten-free Tuesdays run for those needing that option. Orders are walk-in and freshly made to order, so food can take a while to come out when the queue builds, and it does get busy enough to stretch nearly out the door at peak times. A stamp card scheme takes money off after a tenth visit, with a minimum spend of £7. The wall posts details on locally sourced potatoes and responsibly sourced fish. Orders also go out via Deliveroo and Just Eat. The site once ran as a sit-down restaurant too, but that side has since closed, leaving takeaway as the only option now.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the fish, with cod and haddock in crispy batter, freshly made to order, mentioned most often. Scampi and chips, sausage with curry sauce, and mushy peas appear as other orders, and a coeliac visitor singles out the gluten free Tuesdays. Several describe the staff as friendly, lovely and chatty, and the shop as modern and very clean. Some note a queue that nearly reaches the door and a wait while orders are cooked fresh. A few longtime customers report a decline in quality: thin fillets where the fish sticks to the batter, dry chips that taste like cardboard, flat fish with chopped ends, and a two-portion order they felt was too expensive for what arrived. One reviewer also objected to flyers made with generative AI. Another says staff took care to confirm the food was safe after an allergy was mentioned, and was glad to wait a few extra minutes.

“This review is for the takeaway service - the restaurant closed some time ago. We went again this week and it is still the best in town by far. Consistently excellent, good service and Julie and the team always serve with a smile.”

“Was the best chippy in Lincoln, went every Friday at one point. Really truly disappointing they've fallen to the generative AI craze. When I asked about their flyers, the guy that did them was even proud of it, it's easier was his excuse. I'd rather support a local place that actually cares about quality instead of supporting lazy generative AI that actively destroys communities, the environment and lines the pockets of those who would sell artists like myself for a quick buck. Do better.”

“Working away for the week , and was Searching local eats , being a coeliac this popped up in my searches . Very nice touch doing GF Tuesdays, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Highly recommend to wizards , not sure if Muggle days are better ? But it's been a long time since Ive had a chippy tea , nothing local to me does it GF sadly. So well done Burton Road Chippy , keep up the good work 👌🏻👌🏻”

“Food quality has declined to the point I've decided to go elsewhere. Staff are lovely but chips are dry and tastes like cardboard. The fish fillets are so thin that all of the fish is stuck to the batter and there is no chunks or flakes of fish. The batter is nice, but unfortunately that's it.”

“In my opinion, Burton Road Chippy is easily the best in Lincoln. I thought I was dedicated by traveling 2 miles and passing several other chip shops to get here, but after chatting with other customers, I found out people regularly travel up to an hour just for their food. The Service: The quality never disappoints, and Julie and Deano are always fantastic—they truly make you feel welcome every time you walk through the door. The Perks: They offer a great loyalty scheme: a stamp card that gives you money off after your 10th visit (with a spend of £7 or more). While the discount is a nice bonus, it’s definitely not the main reason to go—the food is the real star of the show. If you’re in Lincoln and want top-tier fish and chips, this is the only place worth the trip.”
