Quick info
About The Chippy
On Winchester Rd in Southampton, The Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway run on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. Fish is cooked to order rather than held under a lamp, and portions run generous. The business is family run, which shapes the day to day operation of the counter. Customers place their order and wait while the fish is fried fresh, then collect to take away. There is no seating built into the format, so the focus stays on the counter and the fryer. The straightforward setup keeps the operation centered on getting food cooked and out the door for people passing along Winchester Rd.

Customer Review Summary
Freshly cooked fish and chips is what most reviewers come for, with the cod and chips called fantastic and the fish described as lovely and cooked to order. Generous portions come up repeatedly, and several reviewers say the chips are made fresh each time. Close behind is the family run feel, with mentions of a lovely couple, really nice people and friendly service, and one reviewer has been returning since 2011. Beyond the fish, reviewers mention kebabs cooked to order, a burger, and Indian dishes one calls fantastic. Service is where opinions split. One reviewer describes a grumpy man who was abrupt about parking in front of the shop. Another says a woman stayed on her phone, microwaved a pie until it was solid, served small portions and tried to overcharge. A third found the staff not all that cheery and the burger not great. Even so, the fish stays the draw, and the chips are described as always made fresh.
