Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Best chippy in ackworth, loved it definitely worth a visit if you're coming through, I've always been here as its local and its always delicious"
"Charlie and his team are amazing! They go above and beyond for us each month. Staff are like friends. We go for gluten free night and have since Charlie took over, it’s an amazing treat for us as a family due to limited gluten free options. My daughter also says they are the BEST gluten free chippy for miles (and she’s tried a few!)"
"Thank you for doing gluten free fish & chips and even curry sauce! After being diagnosed as a coeliac, I didn’t think any chip shop would go to the hassle of doing gluten free fish and chips. I’m so glad you did. Even my daughters had the gluten free just in case we got them mixed up and they loved them too. Friendly staff and great service. Thanks again"
"By far this is the best fish and chips I've ever had !! I travel 15 miles for these and will continue to do so....information on where the fish was caught and by whom!!! Wow do not miss this chippy you will not be disappointed if I could give 6 stars I would!!!!"
"Absolutely wonderful. Chips perfectly cooked and a good portion. Lovely thickness of batter on everything."
"Very nice clean tidy shop friendly staff, food cooked fresh whilst you wait. Good prices. I had a fishcake butty that was really tasty and filled a little hole for me. My 1st visit but if I'm in that area as gain I would definitely call in again."
"Iv become quite funny with fish and chips lately and prefer the ones from any seaside. But these are amazing. We went a few month back and had plenty for the money we paid, fed a family of 6 and no complaints."
"My partner and I have just had what we consider to be the best fish and chips ever and both being 80 years old that's some compliment. They were beautiful and the staff could not be any better very welcoming and sociable."
