Newtown Fish Bar in St. Helens

Drove 30 minutes to here on Good Friday as I’d heard good reviews! So glad I did; generous portions, battered cod cooked to perfection and lovely chips ( not greasy at all!) Definitely my new number one for fish and chips!

Without doubt the best chips around, fish is beautifully cooked not dripping in oil like some other places. Staff are always welcoming and happy to help. Great food, great service, what more can you ask for.

Fabulous food fish is the best! Lovely friendly staff all good is beautifully cooked and very fresh. Highly recommend

I CanNot fault Newtown Chippy the splits are nice so are the dinners&The staff are very professional

spotless clean and always is, food is beautiful, always treat myself to a double slush when i go hehe

Been here 3 times now since lockdown and 3 times the chips have been undercooked,waste of money.will not be frequenting again.

Spotless clean, lovely friendly staff, nothing is to much trouble, The chips are the best around and the fish is huge.

Fish on Friday is tradition in my family and this establishment is excellent, fish is cooked to order and batter is applied to taste, chips are good all served by pleasant staff,

We have been here a few times and always had the most delicious fish and chips. The fish is cooked there and then to your liking. We will definitely be back 👍

I visited the chip shop at tea time and ordered pudding chips and gravy twice. I observed the woman who was serving me take the puddings out of the fridge and place them in the microwave. I thought then that it was strange because usually they are in a bamboree whilst they steam. This was after the woman had asked me three times what I wished to order. When I got home and plated them up the bottom of the puddings were still frozen and inedible, resulting in us throwing them away and going without our tea. What a waste of money. Needless to say i will not be returning.

Discusting chips were half cook and other half was not cooked raw hard spud tea in bin wont be going again

This is a very good chippy, super clean and modern with a lot of choice. Prices are low, the lowest of most in St Helens. Chips and gravy (small) was a generous portion for small, this, along with a can of diet Coke came to £3.00. Cant be beat for value and they do kebabs which look good quality too especially the chicken kebabs. Staff are friendly and presentable. Theres a small seating area too with about four or five clean tables. In summary Lots to choose from, fair prices, generous portions and a clean environment. There are kid size menu items too.

Sign in the wall that’s not in your line of sight that says, please ask for more batter if required. Wish I had seen that as I don’t think they put any on my fish at all. Missed off barmcake and chips from my order too. Half of kebab meat was charcoaled and the other half looked like is was raw. Don’t go in late just before closing and ask for anything or you’ll get the death stare from the lovely ladies working there. They have a slushy machine which was quite nice, but more expensive than the shop on the end of the road. Situated in Cambridge road which is infested with the north face hoodies smoking weed and leaving bikes all over the pavement. These of course have nothing to do with the shop. I’d try the fish again but only with batter and checking my order before I left the shop.

got a mixed kebab, (Donner and chicken) the chicken was charcoaled and the Donner was so under cooked it was inedible. the chips gravy was left as it had a big blob of congealed gravy in it. The wait for the was over 20 mins as well. stay away.

Nice staff, lovely food. The fish chips and peas are delicious. Not tried anything else they do but it's a popular place.

Standards have slipped a little. Soggy chips smaller fish. used to be really on the ball. with plenty competition in the area it should be better
