About Smith Central Chip Shop
On Wragby Rd in Lincoln, Smith Central Chip Shop serves fish and chips for collection, with haddock as the standard fish and each order cooked fresh rather than held on a hot plate. Chips come with the option of curry sauce, and mushy peas are offered as a side. The shop takes walk-in orders rather than bookings, and the entrance is step-free for wheelchair users. Families with young children can make use of high chairs, and dogs are welcome inside. It opens Tuesday to Saturday and stays closed on Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Haddock and chips is what most reviewers come back for, with one noting haddock is the standard fish and another calling it their go to order alongside mushy peas. Diners describe light, crispy batter around flaky, soft fish, and say the food is nicely cooked, fresh and hot, never undercooked, and fried in traditional oil rather than so-called healthy oils. Chips and curry sauce get a mention, as do massive chip portions, and a few call the price good. Staff come up repeatedly as polite, friendly and chatty, with one server handing over extra cutlery, and one reviewer calls the shop very clean. A colleague-praised cod and the shop's use for meeting catering also appear. The criticism is sharper but rarer. One reviewer says the fish tasted frozen and was among the worst they have eaten, and another says chips sit in the hot plate with a lot of fat on them, arguing people would sooner wait for a fresh batch cooked to order.
