Fish lovers can’t get enough of the perfectly cooked pollock and large cod fish, fried to crispy perfection without the greasiness.

Most Disliked

Some customers express concerns about the busiest times, which can lead to longer waits, especially on Saturdays at 6 PM.

A few diners mentioned that while the food is excellent, seating can get tight during peak hours, leading to a more casual atmosphere than some might prefer.

Occasional inconsistency in delivery times due to high demand may leave some patrons waiting longer than expected.

Certain items, while popular, can sell out quickly during busy service times, so be prepared to adapt your order!

We had a large fish (pollock) and a standard portion of chips. The price was £9.70. The serving was HUGE and there was easily enough for both of us. Perfectly cooked, very tasty and not at all greasy. An excellent traditional chippy.

I contacted this chip shop to feed my 27 hungry Scouts, Explorers and Leaders as we were visiting Nantwich recently. Simon was extremely obliging and worked out a deal with my budget. When I collected the order it was hot and very very tasty. All the children ate everything and said how nice it was. The fish sticks were particularly nice with crispy batter and plenty of fish. Thank you Simon and your team, I'd recommend this place to anyone and if we visit the area again we'll definitely come back.

Best chip shop in Crewe and Nantwich by a country mile. Good size portions, crispy fish, thin batter and chips that dont go soggy (because they dont put them in plastic trays!) and reasonably priced.
