Description

Selwyns Chippy, once a beloved destination, has faced recent criticism regarding its declining food quality and service. Diners report overly small portions that hardly justify the prices, with cold chips and dry, reheated pies disappointing many. While the atmosphere feels unwelcoming—marked by indifferent staff—there is a glimmer of hope in the freshly cooked fish. Unfortunately, this alone has not been enough to secure repeat visits from dissatisfied patrons. As many vow to stay away, those seeking a pleasant chippy experience may want to look elsewhere.

This traditional chippy is charming, with friendly and attentive staff. The food was delicious, with tasty chips and perfect portion sizes.

Well thought I would walk across to the chippy for the first time in yonks and had gone to Selwyns in the past and always got an alloof and ignorant reception off the staff back then. There was always a weird atmosphere in this chippy over the years. So I was greeted by a glare off this grey haired middle aged guy as I walked in. An amicable young lass was helpful as I asked if they had spam fritters and she said they did not have any spam. I then asked if they had any specials and the grey haired chap said a sharp 'no ' . He went back to stirring his chips. The atmosphere was awful. So I opted for a Holland 's meat pie as it was for my husband and I could not think of anything else to take him home. The grey haired guy looked cheesed off and his customer service skills are non existent. The young lass was helpful though. I won 't be going back.....
