Shaws Fish Chips - Sheffield

British, Fish, Fast Food

Shaw's, a beloved fish and chip shop, has faced mixed reviews following its change in ownership. While the fish often receives praise for its crispy batter and generous portions, the quality of the chips has fallen under scrutiny, with many customers noting issues like dryness and unusual aftertastes. Although the service remains friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is reported to be quieter than before. However, some loyal patrons still appreciate the value of large orders, especially the mini-fish box, which provides a hearty meal for families at an attractive price. Overall, loyal fans hope for a return to the quality that made Shaw's a favorite.

This mini-fish box is absolutely worth it! It easily serves four people and is made fresh to order, piping hot. It's a fantastic family meal at a great price. Just keep in mind that it's only available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so be sure to check with the shop first. It's always a good idea to order for collection! View all feedback.

What Lisa Marsden dislikes about Shaws Fish Chips:
I visited Shaw's for the first time since it changed ownership. The server was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt quieter compared to before. The batter on the fish was wonderful—nice and crispy—but the chips were quite dry and had an unusual aftertaste, so I couldn't finish them. I really liked the original Shaw's because I sometimes have trouble with certain oil blends, and I never had any issues there since... View all feedback.

This has always been my favorite fish and chip shop, but I was really disappointed during my last visit. The chips were cold, dry, and seemed like they were double-cooked. I truly hope things improve there. Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Dreadful. Chips were tastless were like mash potatoe. Fishcake was also terrible. A big disappointment. I've heard they are under new ownership. This used to be one of the best chip shops around Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
