  “Good gluten free options. I don't eat fish and chips often be because gluten free is difficult to find, but it tasted good to me. Staff was very friendly as well.”

  “The food I got was nice, but it was a tiny fish. Not what you'd picture when you think of a nice big (full priced) fish and chips. Think I'll go up the road next time to a more rough and ready normal chippie.”

  “This is my favourite chippy in the area. Great choices for vegetarians and great value for money. We love the deep fried halloumi and the pea fritters! Everything can be cooked in vegetable oil. The staff are lovely and you can see how hard they all work to create great food. You can also get a cheeky drink whilst you wait”

  ““Market price cod” scribbled onto the board for £9 on its own - fair enough for quality… But such a shame! The chips and sauces were brilliant, but the price of the fish for the size is a bit silly. Can’t imagine what a small fish and chips looks like. Steak and ale pie, again, very nice pastry and gravy (like a GNP) but such a small about of meat in there.”

  “Fantastic fish and chips, just as I remember them! Available gluten free which is wonderful for me as I have a wheat allergy. Fresh and absolutely delicious; we'll be back!”

  “Disappointed, so much so I had to post the review before I ate. Place has seriously gone down hill since expansion. Was looking forward to fish and chips so drove across town and ordered 2 haddocks Got home, opened the box and found 2 of the smallest portions of fish I’ve had, there’s more batter than fish, not sure if I was given the wrong box or given a small portion as looking at the pass the fish looked good, perhaps those are for other customers I’m not sure. Only positive was the large chips were a good portion so filled us up. But I didn’t go for chips with fish. Won’t be returning, hope people don’t fall for the hype.”

  “Hearing about a traditional fish and chip shop in Prestwich, complete with a restaurant and bar, and cooking in beef-dripping with the option for vegetable oil (call to confirm vegetable oil availability), I was compelled to check it out. Upon entering the shop, I found myself in the bar area, with access to the restaurant located upstairs. The bar was furnished with tables, chairs, and stools for those wishing to enjoy a drink or avoid the stairs. It is encouraging to see young people engaged in the fish and chip shop trade, potentially leading to more traditional establishments in the future. The cod, although slightly smaller than expected, was delicious and cooked to perfection. The chips were among the best I’ve had in a long time. The pea fritters, black pudding fritters, and tartare sauce were also excellent. In-house pies were available as well, so I sampled the cheese and onion and meat and potato varieties and can recommend both. There is parking available across the street and on-street. However, the opening hours might not suit those looking for a lunchtime meal, as at the time of this review, the hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and closed on Sunday and Monday.

  “We can here for National Fish and Chip day and it was the best fish and chips ever. What I love is you can order a takeaway, have a beer whilst you wait and if need to eat your takeaway downstairs. For someone who lives a 20 min car journey away it means you get the pleasure of eating your takeaway warm. What can I say about the mushy peas ♥️ Good soundtrack to eat your food to. Will definitely be back. You deserve to be as busy as you were that night.”

  “So after years and years of wanting to try Chips at No 8 Today on Good Friday I decided to go there after watching my Beloved Oldham Athletic Vs Hartlepool United. So I arrived parking is extremely hard as there is a small car park but it is always busy, The roads and side roads are double yellow lines or permit holders only. So I headed in and I have long known about the Fantastic reputation that Chips at No 8 has both locally, regionally and Nationally etc. I arrived it was pouring with Rain 🌧 and people were literally queing out of the door, So as it was my first time at Chips at No 8 I joined the queue. As I finally made it inside of the chip shop a member of staff asked if I wanted to order a drink while I waited but I didn't think I would be that long so I politely refused. After about 25 minutes I finally made it to the front of the Queue so with it being Good Friday I opted for a large portion of Fish and chips with mushy peas and I ordered a small fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 for my Wife with a side order of gravy. After you pay(You can pay cash or card) you get a ticket 🎟 number and stand in the bar area(There are limited seats) and there is an upstairs to wait, After over an hour my order was finally ready so I grabbed my order and drove home. I knew the fish 🐟 and chips would be great but Wow without a shadow of doubt the best fish and chips I have ever eaten, The fish was light and fluffy, fresh and the crispy batter was amazing, The chips were thick, cooked to perfection and again were light and fluffy and cooked perfectly and the portion size was just enough. My Wife really enjoyed her Fish and chips and the portion size was the perfect size for her and she managed to finish the lot. The takeaway/Bar was spotlessly clean, Super polite and friendly staff, Expensive but you have to pay extra for quality, You can pay cash or card, Be prepared to wait but my God is it worth it. I post I post alot of reviews on Google and I always give my honest opinion on everything from food, cleanliness, drink, Service, value for money, setting, ambience etc and I have over 32,000,000+ views on Google alone. I have reviewed everything from Locally to me and my Wife in Manchester to travelling around going for food with my Wife to travelling around the country watching my Beloved Oldham Athletic to day trips and holidays with my Wife. I have reviewed everything from Restaurants to bars to beaches to beach clubs to taxis to airports to flights to beauty treatments to Barbers to hotels to Churches to Basilica to shooting ranges to hair dressers to Football stadiums etc. From Manchester to Split(Croatia), Hvar(Croatia), Supetar(Brac, Croatia),Rome(Italy), Vatican(Italy), Bezier Cap d'Agde(South of France), Montpellier(South of France), Podgorica(Montenegro), Budva(Montenegro), Tirana(Albania), Sarande(Albania), Ksamil(Albania), Krakow(Poland), Zakopane(Poland) and next stop will be in Cape Verde.”

  “Another that has been on the list for some time, as there isn't an end to the articles that say this is a must try. Felt obliged to get the fish, chips & mushy peas this time round. Don't have a bad word to say about it tbh, the fish was very fresh and fried well. The chips and mushy peas were okay, from previous readings I was expecting one of the best offerings I have had but it didn't quite reach that level for me. I think this one just comes down to preference & wouldn't want to put people off as it is definitely worth a try and the menu is not only limited to your normal chippy fare”
