Cramped, hole-in-a-wall place, though admittedly cosy and welcoming. I went for lunch, and while I didn't have to wait long to be seated, the food easily took more than 20 minutes to arrive so those in a rush beware.
The Food
Despite being known for their Fish & Chips, I opted for their pie instead. I've always found deep fried fish to be too greasy, not just here but in general. I ordered the Beef and Onion Pie with a side of chips and baked beans.
The pie was surprisingly good. Plenty of flavour, tender beef and buttery crust. Ditto for the chips (with and without vinegar). Those of you expecting crispy chios take heed; these are traditionally made so soft better describes these more accurately. The baked beans were nothing to write home about but the primary items were sufficiently good to lead to a satisfying meal.
The Somewhat Ugly
The primary cooking method is deep-frying, which means the smell of oil hangs thick in the air. You will come out of here smelling like you just manned the grease fryer at a diner. Those of you who have important meetings after lunch may want to consider takeout. The other issue is price. I've always believe the prerequisite for comfort food would be good value, and Chippy teaters on the edge in terms of affordability. I ended up paying $100, which isn't expensive, but is pricey enough that I wouldn't make this place a regular spot.
That said, the food does come across as genuine (a notion supported by my Brit colleagues) so if you want to splurge a little once a week, Chippy should be strongly considered.
