Quick info
About Pepper Lane Chippy
Pepper Lane Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway at 4 Pepper Ln in Wigan, set in a stand-alone building with a spacious serving area. Chips n gravy is made with a thick gravy rather than a watery one, and the mushy peas are a recurring order. Curry sauce follows the standard sweeter chip-shop style rather than a spicier version, and gluten-free options are offered alongside the regular menu. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with payment by cash or card. Parking surrounds the building, and tables and chairs are set up out front for eating on site. Queues out of the door are common at busier times.

Customer Review Summary
The haddock draws the most consistent praise, described repeatedly as fresh and crispy battered, with several reviewers calling portions unusually large for the price. Close behind, the chips earn steady approval for being flavourful and light, though one reviewer found the batter on the fish a bit oily and thick, and another called the chips merely average next to homemade versions. Several diners single out extras: the mushy peas as flavourful, the chips and gravy praised for a proper thick gravy rather than watery, and one reviewer's favorite, the peppered sausage. A pea fritter is noted as small but inexpensive, and the curry sauce is called standard, with one reviewer requesting a spicier option. One diner objected that six meals costing 59 pounds felt overpriced for the portion received. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, with one reviewer recalling they offered a refund if the fish wasn't enjoyed, another describing help with a gluten free order, and one recounting travelling five times from Somerset because a fussy, autistic daughter found the fish "beautifully battered.

“I have been going to this chip shop for a few years with my daughter who is autistic and very fussy what she eats, we moved to Somerset last September and we can’t find anything anywhere near as good, over the past few months we have traveled up 5 times, we both find the food absolutely perfect, especially the beautifully battered fresh white fish. All the staff are really nice and friendly, Got to be one of the best Chip shops in England.”

“Got to say the Haddock was fantastic - my preference against cod and others anyway. And also the mushy peas - very flavourful compared to other peas I've tasted. In fact I've been looking for the elusive tasty peas ever since I said a chippy in Urmston's peas were very bland :-D The only downside were the chips. They were pretty average but on a par with most. I may be biased because I double cook my own in Beef Dripping lol! Reasonably quick turnaround and would go again. Thanks.”

“Absolutely amazing food! Coming here time to time when passing , in my opinion one of the best chippy around the area , out of curiosity I checked how many stars has it got ( I would of thought 5) and I was absolutely baffled why only 4.6 stars , I read some of the reviews of people and couldn't believe it people would complain about sizes! I'm my opinion the food is amazing , portions are absolutely huge and very reasonable priced for what you get ! I would certainly say try it yourself rather trusting some of the reviews!”

“Been all over the country. This is the best chippy I've been to the fish is incredible. Peppered sausage is best sausage I've had at chippy! You couldn't get better. Good portions. Does get super busy. Can be a wait. But I don't mind. You can have a chat. Menu extensive. Been going for 30 years. Brilliant”

“First time using this chippy, glad I did. Only got chips n gravy, but they were really good. Chips were tasty and the gravy was proper thick gravy, not the watery stuff that a lot of chippies seen to sell. Good prices and good portion sizes. Very popular, queuing out of the door. Definitely recommend, and they take cash and card payments”
