Cheshire really has to be one of the best places to reside outside London, fact!!! Not only is it…read morefull of leafy villages in serene picturesque surroundings, it also has some delightful hidden gems. This place qualifies for sure. The fish and chips are grand indeed. In fact I really felt like that it was a professional fish and chip place. It is slightly hidden away off one of the main roads and in fact when we got there, I didn't think it was there at all. As I approached it from one side it did resemble an unused social club from a distance. Thankfully on close inspection it is a chipshop which is more upmarket than your average haunt, with a seating area upstairs. The fish and chips were divine though, with the cod being oh so tender. Highly recommend it folks, Cheadle rocks....and not just because I'm Captain of their cricket club......but seriously check it out!!

The range is good, and the prices are reasonable. The only bad point is that as it's situated near a school the road outside is all double yellow lines, but you can usually park a little way up the road near Cheadle Library. They also have a full service restaurant above the take away.

It is on a main road in the town, but there is a small outdoor seating area, which is reasonably pleasant, and a car park around the back to make up for the lack of street parking. The staff were friendly and the service was reasonably fast, especially as I visited on a Saturday, where they seemed to be quite busy, and also taking a number of telephone orders, and delivery orders. After hearing of their gluten-free options with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, I was excited to try out this place, and while there were some positives for sure, I couldn't help but have been left with a taster of bitter disappointment. The menu here is pretty large, as well as the standard chippy options, they have a variety of options including burgers, curries and more, this is where I find chippies tend to go wrong, they have too many options and just mess up on the basic staples, which seems to have been the case here. I ordered the gluten-free cod and chips, with chips, gravy and sausage, which all could be made gluten-free - so far so good. I was angry however to look at the menu board and notice the gluten-free menu is much higher than the regular menu, I can get gluten-free costs more to make, but when you're talking having to pay more for every single item, it adds up, surely the gravy would have been the same anyway? I wasn't a big fan of the packaging either, I'm used to my fish and chips being served in a box, however, everything was in separate, paper packaging, which not only made it much more difficult to eat and unwrap everything, but the environmental damage and so much waste is frankly a disgrace. I did find the food overall to be really greasy and salty, while the batter was very good for gluten-free, it felt like the fish was half battered, and only really battered around the edges. The chips were also really soggy and almost inedible, while the gravy was a little bland. The sausage wasn't too bad, a little meatier than the average chippy sausage, but that isn't bad. I really wanted to like this place, it has a lot of positives, and the food did look good, but from charging a gluten-free tax to wasteful packaging to issues with the quality of the food, mainly arising from it being far too salty, and soggy, I wouldn't return. 2*

Situated around 4 mins drive from Cheadle Hulme I was lucky enough to just get in before the mad rush and this shows it's obviously a popular place to go. The fish and chips was ok but nothing special - we definitely preferred Fosters and would probably go to their Bramhall branch instead of anywhere else again. It's good to try new places but the taste wasn't as good at Luke's and quite pricey.

This is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on whether I start to get addicted, but it's great that it's now so close. Having previously visited the Alderley Edge (great) and Didsbury (not quite as good but still pretty nice) branches it's the same product with them selling cod, hake, haddock and plaice - for around £5 a pop, with chips coming in at £1.50-£2.50, plus all of the extras you'd usually get in a fish and chip shop. Their layout is modern, it's clean and efficient and the staff were super friendly - the only thing worth mentioning is that as opposed to the other two branches this is fully takeaway apart from 2 picnic benches outside (probably around room for 12 seats) Overall a great addition to the local area - mine's a large haddock and chips please!

Having been a fan of the original Foster's venue from my days as a student on placement, I was…read moredelighted when they opened up in Didsbury a couple of years back. Unlike the Battered Cod & some other chippies that I have frequented (& to be fair, enjoyed in the moment) the chips do not leave me feeling uncomfortable afterwards and, more importantly, they taste great. If you eat in the restaurant section, you can have as many as you want too! The fish is also delicious with batter that has a good bite to it but is not at all greasy. In fact, their fish & chips is so good that I attempted the Male vs Whale challenge last Summer (see http://wp.me/p1TJO-1j for the full write up of that). Challenge is the operative word! I've never been so (almost literally) torn. A plate full of fabulous food, yet my eyes and stomach bulging to the point of almost no return.... If you follow Foster's on Twitter ( @fostersfish ) they often do a 'twitter tuesday' offer where you can pick up a certain meal/menu item for a discount rate & last year they even hid some tickets/vouchers around Didsbury.

In fact of all the Manchester fish and chips shops I've been to - Leo's, The Friary etc - Fosters is the one that will actually make you go out of your way to visit or maybe plan your night around it. Based in Didsbury Village but also with an excellent branch in upmarket Alderley Edge, Fosters offers a dine in and takeaway service. Having been at Didsbury Beer Festival all afternoon, an evening of stodge was well required and deciding to go without the formalities of having to dine in, takeaway seemed a smart choice (until I got home and realised that my wifes plan was to watch the X-factor - oh how I wished to have stayed at the beer fest!) For 2 haddock, 2 chips and the peas and curry sauce mentioned above it was £16.50 which was pretty good value. Service was quick and 2 guys on the counter seemed up for a chat, unless that was just me after a good few pints of fine craft beer.... This takeaway occasion was great although we have been in the day before (around 6 months ago) and found the Saturday service to be fairly poor and staff very unfriendly so it's up to you really if you want to chance it by dining in.
