this chippy used to named Michaels on the corner of saughall road opp tesco, it was a fab chippy years ago. Went there a while ago and thought it was quite poor so never went for a while until new years eve lunch time and the food was awful still with luke warm undercooked chips and flavourless chicken fried rice which had more ham than chicken. Deffo will never go there again. I think the best one around is at top of pasture ave or even better still wallasey village. Anyone else got good or bad which we can note down as its not a cheap meal any more so we should be getting quality for our money.

Hi Cuba, the one on grove rd is crap.

Happy garden in Wallasey village is a must, their foods great and they serve nice chips, always fresh and not rubbery like most chippys these days.

Mill lane chippy is nice but they put too much batter on the chicken pieces used in the sweet and sour chicken dish. (come to think of it it's the only chippy I've ever used that does put batter over the chicken)?

I'm sure Ann's been in the chippy for more than 20 years
fish and chips from Ann's
1 cod fish £2.20, large chips £1.00 = £3.20p

fish and chips from Choices bar duke st
1 cod fish £5.00,large chips £1.20 = £6.20 what a ripoff?

and there portions are half the size you get from Ann's chippy.

Don't ever go to the Parkgate chippy!!! If anyone could see what goes on in the backyard they would never eat the fish from there ever again. The food is substandard and way overpriced yet they always have a queue of tourists out of the door!! They have been living off the previous owners awards for a while!

I live down in Buckinghamshire now and they don't know what proper chips are. Every chippy under-cooks them to the point they look aneamic! Sausages are horrible, and they have never heard of a savory! The first thing I do when I come up to the Wirral is go to the chippy for my dinner!

Golden sunrise on mount road Wallasey is immense for food but portion sizes have got really poor of late and it's still really popular which means you wait for up to an hour for footage. We tried as an alternative to this one, the one on seaview road at the junction with Queensland in Wallasey and it's beautiful. You stills can't beat the food at the golden sunrise and if you can overcome half portion sizes and 12 chips in a portion you will be fine. Everyone I know uses it and they deliver as far as upton!

That is the nearest chippy to my house. The last time I went I was served by two lazy, uninterested, ill mannered teenage girls. The portions where small and the taste was below average. I have never been back there.
I have however tried all the chippys in that area and the one a bit further towards Moreton Cross called 'Yue Wah' is by far the best of the bunch around that area.

my favourite 4 chippies.... are The Big Cod? (new one in liscard)....but only to eat out because otherwise you get a tiny oblong plate so the portions are very small...portion to take away £1.40 and not a bad sized portion.

the one next to New Brighton Bowling Alley...

Village Frier in Upton

and if I'm allowed a liverpool one then The Lobster Pot is amazing .


To get back on track my worst chippie is the 2 dragons on Mill Lane....they might be good at the chinese stuff but the chips are always orange musty warm ups....yukk

The original 'Michael' relocated to Heswall - think the chippy is called Pisces? Opposite the Peugeot dealer. Still very good.

Can't agree with this review! Firstly, they don't cook in the backyard, do they? Also I'm not a 'tourist' but can't fault the fish and Chips,really gorgeous, light and crispy batter, tasty fish and lovely chips.
Another great chip shop is Marigolds in West Kirby, again top quality!!

My missus is my best chippy. Fish from the market on Friday, her own batter and soggy peas, with bread from the market as well. Don't know enough B'head chippies to comment though nothing is worse than a piss poor local chippy.


Birkenhead........ God's own Room 101.

No of course they don't cook the fish in the yard but believe me if you saw the fish in the filthy buckets in all weathers you would not eat the fish!!! Only saying what I have seen.

Orchid on Woodchurch Road by Sainsburys is nice, the best was The Oriental when Julie and Lynn ran it for years on Woodchurch Road by changez, It changed hands for about a year before it closed and became David Pluck

When did you last go there?

The place in parkgate is a discrace! Chips that have stones in and that are still raw, crap customer service, gobs to the floor, never go there again, used to be nice until the new owner took it over. Oh, the prices are disgusting too!

Your jealous and probably own a chippy yourself that's not doing as much business. Parkgate chippy is one of the best around the area their customers love it just see the queues......and there not all tourists a lot are locals
