About Murdishaw Supper Bar
Murdishaw Supper Bar is a fish and chips takeaway on The Ridgeway in Runcorn, run on a walk-in basis. The chips are made from freshly peeled potatoes, cut chunky. Beyond the standard chip-shop range, the menu adds a second set of dishes, with chicken chow mein listed next to roast duck in plum sauce, which is number 77. Salt and pepper chips are on the menu too, and satay sauce is offered. Family orders are also on the menu.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply over the chips and the food since the change of ownership. The strongest praise is for the chunky chips made from freshly peeled and cut potatoes, with one diner also calling the roast duck in plum sauce the best they have had. Another says the freshly cooked chips were not greasy, and one long-time customer says the food is back and the chippy has been saved. The complaints are more numerous, though. Several describe chips as warm-ups or hard, and others report mushy salt and pepper chicken, soggy chicken chow mein with no veg or sauce, and liver dinners like leather. A few say prices have climbed while portions shrank, with one family order rising from under the usual amount to a noticeably higher total. Several say quality dropped after the new owners. One diner reports waiting 45 minutes for sweet and sour chicken and salt and pepper chips, then leaving without the order.

“Won't be going here again .for months every time we go here the price has always been the same we always get our family order that we aways get and it always come to a great price under £25 but yesterday it came to £30 omg plus the portion size has gone down now your paying more and getting less .I can tell you now there are cheaper and better chip shops in runcorn that is just a walk or drive away so I'll be doing that in future. This place and price hike is not worth the money”

“This Chippy has changed ownership. I have been going to this chippy for decades, It took a nose dive in recent years... they reduced the hours and close sometimes at 9pm instead of 11.30pm as they used to. The quality of take away food was rock bottom, before this that chippy was begging for delivery drivers and was packed with customers until close? why on earth would they reduce hours, The food went downhill also and warm up chips that tasted 3 days old was the norm, the sauces became bland and frankly disgusting... BUT there is hope.... NEW OWNERS !!!! The food is back, now all they need to do is return the hours there open to the old times and it will be a hit ! Thank heavens the chippy has been saved.”

“Just been in tonight, ordered sweet and sour chicken and salt and pepper chips. Waited 45 minutes and it never came out. Left after waiting. I wouldn't go again. Absolutely ridiculous service. Should be ashamed”
