In Bolton we are spoilt when it comes to fine chippies.

Here are some recommendations.

Su’s Fish and Chips can found on Belmont Road in Astley Bridge.

You can’t be from Astley Bridge without knowing Su’s, a very well-known Chinese chip shop, having 78 excellent reviews on Tripadvisor and 20 reviews saying it’s good.

A review states: “In my humble opinion this is the best chippy I have visited in a 4-mile radius of Astley Bridge and I have been to most in the area, they might not do the biggest portions, but what you get is cooked to perfection.

“Always busy so speaks volumes.”

Mr Chips, found on Winter Hey Lane in Horwich, an award-winning traditional fish and chips- and turning 20 years old this year.

A review for Mr Chips said: “We were in Horwich to watch football at Bolton Wanderers and made a lunchtime visit.

“Staff were friendly, food was absolutely fabulous. I had fish and chips and both were perfectly cooked, hot and tasty. This is a proper fish and chip shop and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone.”

Reel Fish and Chips is up next, which opened a third shop of their branches on Blackburn Road this year.

Their shop on Deane Road received 30 excellent reviews and four good reviews.

Reel Fish and Chips also won The Bolton News Best Chippy award in 2025.

A review adds: “Really fresh and tasty food – not at all oily or greasy for what it is. Everything is pretty much cooked to order, and I love the way it is served in card boxes as opposed to those tacky polystyrene containers.

“Well priced and of a high standard. The service is friendly and efficient.”

Flounders found in Blackrod, boasts a big “TRADITIONAL FISH & CHIPS” banner outside- and does what it says on the tin.

This chippy uses fresh and locally sourced potatoes, saying they’re grateful for fantastic customers.

A review of Flounders said: “I highly recommend this lovely little English chippy.

“Today we treated ourselves to a chippy dinner, my children had the children’s meal box, amazing value and quality at just £3.

“I had Fish and chips with a tub of mushy peas, very impressed at the top quality for the price. The fish was Haddock, chunky and vary tasty, the chips were fresh, hot and great quality.”
