About Victoria's Plaice
Bring notes to Victoria's Plaice, a cash-only fish and chips takeaway on Slag Ln in Warrington that takes no cards. Orders are placed over the counter on a walk-in basis, with fish and chips at the centre of a short menu of four dishes, available in a large portion as well as the standard. Chips can be ordered on their own by the bag, and kebabs sit alongside the fryer range in chicken and doner versions. Queues form and orders can involve a wait, even small ones, with the busiest stretches at peak times. The shop opens Tuesday to Saturday and closes on Mondays and Sundays. Customers drive in from surrounding towns to collect their orders.

Customer Review Summary
The chips draw the most comment, and most of it is critical: reviewers describe them variously as stale and overcooked, brown, hard and dry with scratchy bits that tasted reheated, and cold, greasy and full of peel and black spots. Close behind, the fish disappoints several, one calling it tasteless white fish under thick, uncooked batter. Kebabs come up twice, with both the chicken and the doner described as dry meat that was hard to eat, and one diner likening a chicken kebab to cardboard. Service speed is another recurring gripe, with one reviewer reporting a long wait even for a small order. One reviewer reports mild food poisoning after a visit, and another says the fish tasted of mould. Against this, two are enthusiastic, one calling it the best chippy in the area and driving in from out of town, the other finishing every bit of the lunchtime special of fish, chips, peas and gravy and finding the staff friendly.
