About Lingwood Chippy Ltd
On Norwich Rd, Lingwood Chippy Ltd is a fish and chips takeaway serving a menu of 35 dishes, with cod as one of the mainstays. Sausages and burgers come from a butcher's rather than arriving pre-packaged, and food is cooked fresh to order rather than held under a lamp. The fish is served battered, with the skin sometimes left on underneath. Orders are taken at the counter, walk-in only, with one staff member cooking and another handling service. It opens Tuesday to Saturday for evenings only, staying closed on Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Cod is the item most reviewers zero in on, though the verdict splits: some praise fresh-cooked fish and butcher-sourced sausages, while others describe skin left on under the batter and, as one put it, "hardly had any fish." Chip portions draw the next biggest split, with several calling servings inadequate or a "small portion" when large was ordered, though one reviewer separately praises "large portions of chips." Wait times recur too, with one reviewer waiting around 30 minutes and 17 minutes before being served, and another describing the cook as rude and slow. A few mention soggy or raw chips and a battered sausage with a "thick chewy casing." One reviewer reports arriving before closing time to find the shop shut with staff hiding from sight. The most detailed account describes a food safety concern over pink sausages, resolved with a full refund and a free replacement meal of large chips and cod after staff showed a temperature log.

“The fish was really oily and gooey and the batter was quite pasty.”

“This place is great. We went there earlier today, and when looking at the sausages they appeared to be slightly pink. We called them up and spoke to Andy, who was excellent. We drove back to the store and spoke personally with Andy, who reassured us that they temperature check every sausage that gets cooked, and that this was an issue with the butchers that supply their sausages. He assured us that we wouldn't become ill from them, as they were checked to be the correct temperature, and they were just a different cut of the meat. Andy gave us a full refund for the entire order, and cooked us a free large chips and large cod to sweeten the deal. Andy showed us their book, and showed us that it would be frozen to show to the correct people and ensure that the correct process was followed. From that story, I can't give them anything less than a 5 star, the service was incredible. Thank you Andy :)”
