From the moment you place your order, you can sense the passion behind their simple but expertly crafted menu. The hallmark crispy, golden chips boast that perfect balance of fluffiness inside and crunch outside, making every bite delightfully satisfying.

Down to earth, simple English chippy. Friendly staff and basic food done well. As I'm not from Wigan I was very confused by the local delicacy of smack and pea wet...potato scallop and peas apparently. Strange opening times is my only issue, but otherwise fab

Was just passing by so I grabbed a portion of chips for me and my partner, classic chippy chips and nothing fancy, positive customer service. The place is hidden away around a corner so you wouldn't even realise it exists as it's off the main road. Also the opening and closing times are a bit odd, they're not open for long during the day so the majority of times that we fancy going, they're shut.
