Quick info
About The Village Chippy
The Village Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway at 47 Ashton Rd E in Manchester, serving Failsworth and the surrounding area. Manchester Evening News readers voted the shop fourth among Greater Manchester fish and chip shops in 2022 and 2023, then second in 2024. Cod and chips are a regular order, and the menu also lists a home made cheese and onion pie. A large family meal covers bigger households. Orders can be placed online for collection, and the shop is open Monday to Saturday and closed Sundays. When it gets busy, the queue can reach out the door, and parking nearby can be difficult.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cod and chips, with the fish praised as really fresh, the batter as lovely, and the chips as great, one comparing them to a Chinese takeaway's. Close behind is value, with large family meals and a group order for 11 described as hot, accurate and ready promptly. Others mention the homemade cheese and onion pie, bursting with cheese flavour, and the Irish curry, which one reviewer prefers to the English curry. The friendly staff come up repeatedly, and one says they were always served with a smile. Complaints centre on portions. One reviewer says the fish finger was bigger than the fish in a regular portion, and another describes a delivery for two that arrived after a long wait with a half-filled box of chips, the tub of peas or gravy tucked in beside them. A third notes the waiting area is small and crowded with delivery drivers, and parking can be difficult when collecting. One reviewer adds that the mushy peas needed salt, then ordered cod four days in a row.
