Most Disliked
While the majority of experiences at Grasswell Chippy are positive, some customers mention long waits during peak hours. A queue may build up, especially on weekends, reflecting the local popularity. However, most feel it's worth the wait, though it can be a drawback for those in a rush.
A few patrons express disappointment at the lack of cashless payment options, as Grasswell Chippy accepts cash only. This limitation may inconvenience some, particularly those wanting to pay with mobile or card, especially in a modern dining landscape.

I'm new to the area, so I gave this chippy a go. And I'm so glad that I did! Absolutely outstanding for food, value, and taste! Their was a bit of a que when I went in, but I can see why. The owners are very friendly and polite. Just order when you walk in and then wait. Portion sizes were huge! And so tasty. This is definitely my new chippy!

Best chippy in the UK. I've used this chippy throughout my life & it has never disappointed. Food is amazing & the amount you get for your money is amazing. There was so much it wouldn't all fit on my plate. & I was stuffed. Left half for later. Staff are lovely & friendly.
