About Gosforth Chippy

Gosforth Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway at 216 High St in Newcastle Upon Tyne, open daily. The menu centres on cod and chips with mushy peas, and cod bites and chips are the alternative order. The fish comes as thick, flaky chunks, and the chips are cooked fresh. Food is served in polystyrene cartons for carrying out. Staff add the salt and vinegar themselves, so customers cannot add their own and every order is seasoned before it is handed over. The shop is busy at times.

Customer Review Summary

Thick, flaky cod cooked fresh is the main draw, with reviewers also praising lovely chips and a cod and chips with mushy peas order said to feed four. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and polite, and a few mention efficient service and generous portions. Consistency is the recurring complaint. Some find the fish perfectly cooked, while others describe it as overcooked with chewy edges, one saying it is much better when made to order and another calling a massive piece of fish a bit chewy. Several also find portions small, including one who regularly gets a small serving of cod bites and chips and calls it a rip off. One reviewer reports seeing a server put a dropped tray back on the pile for the next customer, and the same reviewer disliked the polystyrene cartons and not being able to add their own salt and vinegar. Another describes the manager adding an extra cod bite when the fish looks smaller than usual.
