Fish & Chips - photo by The British Chippy

Rhona-Mae A.

I was rather sad when our neighbourhood Decker's Fish & Chips closed down. That's why I was delighted to see that The British Chippy rose from its ashes, so to speak. They have done wonders with the interior. As Decker's, it was relaxing, nautical, simple. As Chippy's, it's warm brown and sleeker. The large screen TV showing British shows is a nice touch, although I miss the daily newspapers that its predecessor had for those waiting for their takeout orders. That would have made my 10 minute wait go faster, although today, I was just as happy to sit and close my eyes for a few minutes. The chips are huge. Well done. As Willman says, they're tasty. My haddock was huge. It hung off of my plate by a good couple of inches. Not too much batter and not too greasy. Very smooth on the palette. Done up fresh. Piecewise? Not bad. I used to get two pieces of haddock when it was Decker's (sorry, I can't help but compare Chippy to its predecessor). I just got one piece with my lunch. Mind you, it was big. They put three packs of tartar in my bag. Nice. I miss the paper product container and newspaper wrap that Decker's used. It seemed more "British" that way. The British Chippy does have plain paper wrap that they put over the Styrofoam container. Their menu isn't as extensive as Decker's, but I imagine it will grow in time. I'd like to try some of the meat pies next time.

Yes I guess she meant tartar sauce. Oh well.

Do you want sauce? The waitress asked.. I then asked what kind of sauce do you have? She didn't reply so I sat there for a moment. Nothing. Like I'm supposed to know her thoughts or something?? Like tartar sauce? Does that not normally come with Fish and Chips? She is cold and frankly not very welcoming. I personally won't be back here again. And I haven't even tried the food yet. It's been a half hour since I ordered.. I hope it's better than the service.

See all

Yum!! This place is great! Amazing fish and chips. The batter isn't greasy or thick like you'd get at some pubs around the city. They even have mushy peas and british beer and soft drinks. It's small in there though. We went around 6 on a weeknight and had to wait for a table. Great little spot though. read more

Arrived just before noon on Friday Sept. 11th 2015. We were seated quickly and our orders taken quickly. That is the end of the "quickly". By 12:20 our food had not begun to arrive. We decided that if it hadn't arrived by 12:30. we would leave. I set my phone to ring at 12:30. At 12:29 the food arrived. Yes we stayed and ate it but the annoyance of the slow service put a damper on the experience. The quality of the fish and chips was good but no better than can be had at Joey's, Trawlers etc. The quantity of chips was more than adequate. The quantity of fish was barely adequate. The value for money, even if the service had been good, was NOT adequate. $35:00 for two pieces of fish, plenty of chips and two soda pops can be beaten and IS being beaten by many fish and chip shops in Calgary. The management saved money on staff today but they lost two future customers and gained some poor publicity. Laurence Freedman. read more

Combining their passion for Healthy, Natural Food (they are personal trainers and yoga teachers) with their family history, they decided to open The British Chippy. Gary's parent and grandparents owned a Fish & Chip shop in Wigan England, so they are using their grandmothers recipes and traditional british style techniques The Calgary location was opened October 2009 and the Okotoks location was opened July 2014
