Quick info
About Summer Sun
Summer Sun is a fish and chips takeaway at 118 Culcheth Ln in Manchester, with a menu that pairs Chinese dishes and traditional chip shop food across 203 dishes. That range lets one order cover both styles. Spare ribs get the most space on the list, with Dry Spare Ribs, Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs and Spare Ribs In Barbecued Sauce among the preparations. Sweet & sour chicken and salt & pepper chips sit alongside them, and a home made cheese and onion pie covers the chippy side. The shop is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays. Orders are walk-in only, payment is cash only, and a wait is usual.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the mix of Chinese dishes and chippy staples, with sweet and sour chicken singled out for a good texture that doesn't taste like the ready-made sauces of other chippies. Close behind are the salt and pepper chips, plenty of chips generally, and food that arrives hot and fast. One reviewer urges trying the home made cheese and onion pie, and another says they travel from the other side of Manchester. Two call it their favourite or go-to local chippy. Complaints are fewer but pointed. One long-time customer describes a long wait that ended with their order having been given to someone else, then handed back with no apology. They declined it and got a refund only after more blank stares from staff. Another reports a short portion of chips and no vinegar.
