About Village Fish & Chip Shop
On Bloom St, Village Fish & Chip Shop is a fish and chips restaurant with counter service and just four seats at one small table. Orders are placed for eat-in or takeaway, and fish is fried to order, with a wait of several minutes. The menu covers fish and chips alongside vegan nuggets, vegan pies, steak pies, and chicken popcorn, with complimentary sauces and mushy peas or gravy as sides. Service is walk-in, no reservations taken. Delivery is available, including through late-night and early-morning hours, extending the shop's reach beyond its limited seating.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most attention, with reviewers repeatedly praising crisp chips and well-cooked fish, plus a crispy batter and lovely mushy peas on delivery orders. Close behind, several single out the vegan options: vegan nuggets convincing enough to be mistaken for meat, and vegan pies also getting praise. Staff are consistently called friendly, with one mix-up resolved through a refund and free chicken popcorn as compensation. Complaints recur around oiliness and inconsistency: one reviewer found the fish too oily, another called the batter bitter, and one describes oven chips mixed with raw ones alongside a forgotten drink and peas. One reviewer reports a bad reaction after eating there, describing a dodgy tummy, though this is a single account. Another notes frozen-tasting chips and prices raised during Pride. Portions are generally described as generous, with one order enough to satisfy two people.

“I suspect the chips are frozen. Double their prices during Pride, then when I got home the order was wrong. Staff were nice though tbf”

“I came away really excited my chippy at 3 am. However, excitement is not what I felt when it entered my mouth. There was that much oil I could’ve stocked a KTC 20litre drum. I have woken up this morning dodgy tummy, really really not okay. Please do not eat this establishment unless you want to loose 3lbs from the food poisoning. It’s not worth it, If you want to lose weight, go to the gym. I’m one stomach stomach flu away from my goal weight - might go back tonight”

“Lovely chip shop. I ordered vegan nuggets, got back to my hotel and they were so good that I thought they were actually meat. Even my partner that eats meat agreed. The shop staff were so polite and professional and even sent me a picture of the product packaging to prove they were actually vegan. I apologised profusely. Thank you, and sorry again!”

“Delicious vegan pies and super sweet and helpful server! There was a mix up with our order and she not only refunded us the money but also gave us chicken popcorn as compensation (despite the fact that we finished the food nonetheless since we don't like wasting any food and told her that we didn't need a refund). Would come again 🥰”

“How anyone can say these are decent fish & chips & even the best in Manchester is beyond belief to me. Truly awful with a bitter taste & not cheap either for the portion size. On the plus side the staff were friendly & it was clean but this food didn't even suffice at 03:00 in the morning which is it's main asset.”
