About Charlies Chippy

Customer Review Summary
Chips are the most common talking point, and reviewers split sharply on them. Several call them great, hot and served in large portions, while others describe chips that were brown, dry and bland, as if left under the heaters, or overcooked, occasionally undercooked and very greasy. Fish draws praise too, with one reviewer calling the fish and batter gorgeous and another singling out the cod and chips and the sausages. One reviewer names the chicken kebabs as the standout. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, polite and lovely, especially the girls behind the counter, and several call the shop clean and tidy. Prices are described as very reasonable, and one reviewer liked how the salad was laid out to make the meal easier to eat. A longtime customer, though, says the shop has gone downhill over their last two visits, with food that was not hot and no slice of lemon on the side as there used to be.

“Lovely quality food big portions would highly recommend.”

“Chips are often overcooked, odd time under cooked and very greasy, lucky to get a decent portion. I would have rated it 4 stars if not for the fact that I found a hair in a portion of chips today, disgusting.”

“The chicken kebabs are the best in Charlie's chippy!”
- Anne Chilton
“Very disappointed was my favourite chippy. It seems to have gone downhill since my last 2 visits. No little specials like slice of lemon. Food wasn't hot either. Such a shame, used to be the best local .”
- Anna Curtis
