What customers say?

“ I went here on a Saturday night and it was very busy. Even with it being busy my service was amazing! They were quick and such lovely chatty people. I had the mozzarella sticks with sweet chilli sauce. They were nice and hot and the sweet chilli sauce was so good. Ive tried a couple of their sides and they are all lovely. The ones that really stood out to me was the halloumi fries, spicy chicken strips and cheesy chips. My friend had the haddock and said it tasted very fresh. I would definitely go here again in the future and would recommend this fish and chips over any others. ”

“ Amazing food, really nice. The fish is just the best and the chips are the type of chips you'd expect in a top chippy. The ONLY downside is as I was trying to save time I attempted to order online, which was totally fine up until I had to tap PAY NOW, at which point the system froze. Most probably not the chippys fault, and moreover a glitch in the online payment selystem (Nochex?) they're using but it detracted a little bit from the experience. However, this will not put me off, I'll just plan it better next time and actually order in person instead. Good stuff overall! ”

“ This was the first time we had visited the Wantage Chippy. I placed a relatively large order of fish and chips for relatives from America and parents in a local nursing home. It was a treat for all of us to share together. It was an absolute success. The service was excellent and the food was gorgeous. We will definitely be visiting again but are incredibly grateful for their part in a lovely family celebration. ”

“ Really pleasant staff, very friendly and offered additional sides to my order. Cooked fish to perfection with extra crispy batter. Cooked to order not sat around heated up from lunchtime or earlier in the day. Very clean and inviting shop this was my first visit but certainly won't be my last. Highly recommend and have already told others to visit them. Great food thank you. ”
