  “We got served by a delightful young girl, we didn't catch her name but she was a very pretty ginger girl with glasses. We came in very close to close but she still served us with a smile on her face, cracked jokes and served the food very quickly, she was very funny . We were both really impressed and genuinely touched by how hospitable she was. The girls in there seemed like they were actually good friends and we were a part of that. We've heard a lot about Chish and Fips but never come yet despite how close it is, I can't believe that!! It's absolutely delicious and the staff and atmosphere is 10/10. Very, very impressed and will be coming back again. Also my first time trying a pickled onion before and it was good! All in all, loved it.”

  “We were all happy with the great fish and chips particularly my partner who is coeliac and doesn't often get the option of gluten free fish and chips, loads of options too”

  “Worse piece of frozen cod ive ever had the fish fillet was watery and like mush the batter was thin but was stodgy, chips also overly greasy and taste of just oil”

  “If Norwich ever replaces the castle with a monument to human achievement, it should just be a giant cod from Chish and Fips. This place is not just a fish and chip shop — it’s a civic treasure. A national asset. Possibly the eighth wonder of the world, but with better tartare sauce. The fish? Monumental. The batter is so crisp it sounds like applause when you break into it. Inside? Flaky, steaming white perfection. The sort of fish that makes you briefly reconsider every disappointing chippy you’ve ever tolerated. The chips are proper Norfolk units. Thick. Golden. Fluffy in the middle like they’ve been personally mentored. None of that anaemic, floppy nonsense — these are chips with backbone. And the smell when you walk in? That glorious mix of salt, vinegar and sizzling happiness. It hits you like a warm hug from a seaside childhood memory — even though you’re bang in Norwich. The staff run the place like a well-oiled fryer. Friendly, quick, no messing about. Friday night queue? Managed with the calm authority of people who know they’re serving greatness. You don’t “grab a takeaway” here. You secure an experience. In a world of overpriced mediocrity, Chish and Fips stands tall — crispy, golden and unashamedly brilliant. Five stars. Would queue in the rain. Would fight a seagull for it. 🐟🍟”

  “Only a 5 minute walk is Waterloo park which is where we sat and had our fish & chips. Chish & Fips is an amazing location with car parking outside and a lovely park nearby to enjoy them in. I’ve been to Chish & Fips a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I was invited to come along to go check them out again and I was even more impressed! They have an amazing menu with options available for everyone. Open from Tuesday- Saturday they have vegan and vegetarian options. On Tuesday they also do a gluten free menu. Currently they have new potato chips which are my absolute favourite! These are the type of chips where you never want them to end! Perfect amount of salt and vinegar, were put on them for me. I also tried the regular cod which can always be hit and miss in places around me. Most the time cod can be very oily and watery which shows it’s not fresh at all. But their cod had a perfect crispy batter with thick, soft and rich chunks of cod easily coming off. Exactly how you want cod to be. You can tell it’s fresh and they know exactly what they are doing! The most exciting thing on the menu was the battered pizza! Something that you can’t find anywhere else in Norwich. I actually absolutely loved this! The cheese and tomato pizza with the crispy batter was an amazing combination. It’s such a comforting salty taste of flavours. The perfect size too and not oily either. The last thing I tried was the spring roll, this takes slightly longer to cook and is absolutely huge. It’s a vegetarian option, so it has onions and different spices inside. It worked perfectly with the curry sauce. The curry sauce and mushy peas also hit the spot. Proper traditional fish & chip sauces. Lastly I have to mention the condiments, they sell ketchup, mayonnaise and Tartar sauce in the proper big sachets, which are fantastic! Only 50p each and you get so much more in these packets then regular sachets. If you haven’t already then I 100% recommend going to this hidden gem in Norwich! 🤩🙌🏻”

  “​I’ve been frequenting this fish and chips shop for more years than I can recall, especially when I’m in the vicinity, and there’s a good reason for that. You can always rely on well-cooked fish and chips, high hygiene standards, great …”

  “Well worth it - reputation deserved! A level above most chippies, at the same price. Beautiful golden batter and chips, without being soggy at all.”

  “That good old staple dinner fish and chips... and sausages =o) Chish and Fips battered sausages are tasty. Pushed the boat out and went for the foot long. Just the right amount of chips. Nothing worse the getting more than you can eat. Their deep fried cream egg and battered mince pies have to be tried when they are on the menu!”
