About The Little Chippy
On Atherton Rd in Wigan, The Little Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway open only Wednesday to Friday, with the counter closed the other four days of the week. The menu runs to battered cod, sausage, mushy peas, gravy, and chips, and curry sauce is offered alongside a spicier version compared to a Madras. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. A queue is common at busy times.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fish and chips, with the battered cod and a fresh fish and chip order praised as tasty and cooked fresh. The curry sauce comes close behind, described as fantastic and spicy, with two reviewers likening it to a proper Madras or Indian curry. The battered sausage, mushy peas and gravy also turn up in group orders, and the friendly staff are mentioned repeatedly alongside the food. One reviewer calls it a traditional independent chippy serving food in a cardboard box. The main trade-offs are the crowds and the quality of a single order. Reviewers describe a queue out the door on a Friday evening, with people standing shoulder to shoulder while they wait, though one says the food still arrived in decent time. One reviewer was unhappy with two thin, dark tail-end pieces of cod and large chips that tasted less than fresh, saying standards had slipped. Another thought the chips looked a little anemic but tasted good. One reviewer adds that parking behind a nearby pub is full of potholes, and that a group of three left full after ordering three fish, two large chips, a sausage, peas and curry.
