    Came here after dinner. So I was quite full but I had to try this shop. I only wanted the fish and not the chips. It cost 6 euros for just fish but there is a minimal for credit card transactions which is 10. No biggy, I ordered the Swordfish and Plaine. One was deep fried and one was grilled. I have no idea which was which but they were so grand. Both were great quality fish. Probably the best fish from a fish and chips dish. I love the price for the quality. I didn't care so much for the sauce that accompanied the fish but I did use it. For the grilled fish, the tiny piece on top was pretty but the bigger piece on the bottom wasn't - no grilled marks. It was still very delicious though! The fried batter wasn't soaked in grease and remained crisp. I highly suggest coming here if you are in town.

    First time EVER having a kebab after a night out. Opted for the "doner kebab" which is thinly slice lamb. I've had lamb before and wasn't impressed. This kebab however was beyond amazing. Best food I've eaten in a long time. Portion was huge. Food and even just the meat by itself had amazing flavor. Served in naan bread with lots of toppings and sauce with a great flavor and nice kick! I highly recommend trying this place!

    What a great find! How am I only the second reviewer? We just stumbled upon it while walking but her taxi driver also confirmed it's one of the better fish and chips in the area. Tips: cash only,hardly any seating, we were lucky party of two got the one and only table in the place. Most popular items: cod and haddock. ours came with a side of chips salad and mashed peas. I don't even like peas but their mashed peas the pretty tasty! Would definitely come back again!

    The chips were a life changing and spiritual experience. I highly recommend the salt and vinegar.

    Mother of God. So,…read moregrowing up in Knocknaheeny, the "Churchfield Chipper" as it's locally known, was a childhood institution. We'd look forward to the days mum or dad would announce they were in the mood for a fish supper, the pots and pans stayed quiet, and I was sent forth to bring home the grub. 20 years since moving to America, I brought my heavily pregnant Californian wife to my home patch. She asked what I wanted to do, and a visit to the chipper was top of the list, and there was only one place I wanted to go. Quality? The word doesn't come close. I hear people wax poetic about Lennox's. Or Dino's. Golden Fry. Or this Douglas-ified KCs with their gourmet nonsense. Eejits, the lot of them. Gobshites and langers who don't know what they speak of, I say. These are quite possibly the best chips in Cork. Therefore the best in Ireland, and by extension, the best on earth. Yep. In centuries to come, when aliens visit the planet, those in the know will get their fix from here. And it's quantity. Such quantity. Order a pie, you get two. Order a sausage, you get two. Order the fish, I dare you. I double dare you. 'cause yeah, you're getting two. Two pieces of fish big enough to go surfing on. My wife bit into it, moaned slightly, and proclaimed it the best fish and chips she ever had. "Waaah, but it's in the northside! I don't wanna go up there!" Ah, stop now and come off de stage. The soundest people, and this place has some of the best service. My wife ended up inviting our cab driver to stay with us in California, for god's sake. So stop reading this, grab the wife, throw the kids in the Focus, and head over for a feast.

    I've been going to this chipper for years and i have to say without a doubt it is the best chipper…read morein cork. Tasty snacks is as good as it gets. The Top food are there chips.
