About Newcott Fish & Chips
Newcott Fish & Chips sits on the A41 near the Market Drayton island, combining a chip shop with an off licence and a small grocery store under one roof. The kitchen hand cuts its chips and cooks them fresh, serving fish and chips with mushy peas alongside kebabs and pizza. The shop stocks cold beverages, including Guinness Zero, and the off licence and grocery section cover extras beyond the hot food counter. It opens daily and takes walk-in orders only, with no reservations. Parking extends to HGVs, including overnight parking for trucks, and toilets are available on site.

Customer Review Summary
Hand cut chips draw the most repeated praise, described as freshly cooked with huge portions and staff happy to oblige requests for extra salt and vinegar. Close behind, the mixed kebab and shish kebab come up often, with one diner calling it the best mixed kebab they'd tasted, and the fish and haddock also get singled out, including one review naming a specific haddock as the best fish they'd had from a chippy. Several truckers and passing drivers mention the parking, small grocery shop, and toilets alongside the food, and one classic car club visit notes mushy peas included and Guinness Zero on offer. Against this, one reviewer reports a dry, tasteless kebab and dried out fries, describes stomach pain afterward, and says they were told there was no salt and had to buy it in the shop. Repeat visitors describe stopping on both the way up and the way back.

“Food was great, as well as traditional fish and chips it offers shish kebab or mixed kebab meats which I had with salad. The surroundings are basic but clean and the service is excellent”

“I only ever have chips from here so can't comment on any other food but these chips are the best. They are always freshly cooked and the portions are huge. Staff are polite and welcoming and always obliged my repeated requests for more salt and vinegar. Great place.”

“A fantastic chip shop sighted on the main A41 between Wolverhampton and Chester, a mile before the Market Drayton island on the Newport side it has fantastic parking whether you’re in a car or a HGV and the bonus is overnight parking is available if required. The menu is great a reasonable cost, the service just as good and nothing is a problem. If you’re passing, drop in, you won’t regret it.”

“Great drive out with Shropshire Classic Car Club. We were made very welcome for great fush/scampi and chips. Mushy peas included in the price and Guinness Zero at under £3! Amazing.”
