The British Chippy

This is a great authentic spot. It is small and usually very busy so give yourself a little bit of extra time.
The staff were helpful.

Food was good, a little stingy on the tarter sauce so order extra! It was an average wait time for a table of 4 (about 20 minutes). Would be nice to have a 2 piece fish option.
Did not like the coleslaw as it was super bland! No change station for babies in the washroom (I used the floor). The waitress and the person at the counter were talking about customers and laughing. Super unprofessional and obviously not thankful to their patrons.

Restaurant is really tiny but, food is amazing. price is a bit too expansive and their tartar sauce, I must say best I’ve ever tried.

I’ve eaten here twice now and I don’t mind it. They have cod and haddock, which are very popular for fish and chips in the UK — but I would prefer halibut. They only have one piece options — and the price of the fish and chips is the same price as buying one piece of fish and a side order of chips. Well — you save $ 0.25. So I don’t understand why they even have it as a menu item instead of having everything a la carte. So a two piece fish and chips of their cheaper fish (cod) will run you $ 24 — thats $ 10 for each fish and $ 4 for chips. At a similar shop on MacLeod trail I can get a two piece cod and chips for $ 15. At that same shop I will get a 2 piece halibut and chips for $ 21.

These guys have waiting for a table down to a science. We had a 30 minute wait but just after we got our table we had our drinks and food served shortly after. The gravy was delicious, and the fish and chips were the best I’ve had in Calgary, not to much batter, but just enough. I will be going back here to try there Beef Pie and Chips!

If you want authentic, fresh delicious British fish and chips this is the place to go to in Calgary. There is another location in Okotoks, I haven’t been yet, but I will definitely go after experiencing what they do. The fries, or chips, are so delicious. I never leave any on my plate. I love that they have malt vinegar on the table, a necessity for chips! Also ketchup of course. You can choose between Haddock and cod. I’ve tried both. I really liked the cod I think. The Haddock was great as well though.
The mushy peas are delicious because they are exactly that! Mushy peas :-) I like British food and I have eaten fish and chips in England quite a few times because I have family there. This place was really good. And every time I’ve gone in the place has been packed with what feels like happy customers.
The fish was delicate and I could taste the flavor inside of the light crispy batter. They serve their fish with some tartar sauce on the side and a fresh piece of lemon. I ordered a cold can of ginger beer and it tasted just perfect. Good brand directly from England. I liked my fish and chips and all the trimmings. A lot.

This is a tough one. I have been wanting to try The British Chippy for ages. It’s a 5 minute drive from my place, and I love me some good fish and chips. I decided on takeout as the restaurant is quite tiny and fills up quickly I imagine. It took 40 minutes for the order to be ready, but it was packed when I arrived so I understand the wait.
I ordered the haddock and chips. The haddock was well done, nice and crispy. But the chips were not great. They were quite soggy, like they had been sitting out for a long time. That was disappointing. I feel conflicted because the fish was yummy, but the chips fell flat.
I am willing to try it again, as maybe I caught them in the midst of their rush. Not ruling it out just yet!

The cod was delish but expected it to be bigger! :)the chips tasted homemade which was good!

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.

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.

Good food, good service and a bit pricey for lunch. Two orders of halibut (1 piece of fish per order) $ 14.50 each. Coleslaw extra $ 2.75, gravy $ 2.75, Pop $ 2.35. All in $ 40.

First visit — a pleasant surprise! Haddock and chips with a side of slaw. All delicious! The fish was lightly battered, hot and fresh. The chips are thick cut and compliment a heavy dose of malt vinegar! Service was fast and friendly. Dining room is small, so get there early!

Every single time I visit this place, the service is impeccable, friendly and professional!
The food — to die for. Definitely worth trying the fish & chips & the chicken pot pie!
A+ in my books!

I really enjoy the British Chippy. It is a casual dining at its best. The fish is high quality, crispy, and downright delicious. I enjoy the chips, which are more like hashbrowns than french fries. I also really love ordering a pot of tea to enjoy while episodes of Black Adder air on the television in the background.
If you go, make sure you save room for essert. The banana fritters with ice cream are AWESOME. They’re drizzled with chocolate and with four on a plate, perfect for sharing with a friend.

Don’t get me started on this piece of my old hometown…
Being from «The Rock» (Newfoundland, Canada) and having fish and chips as a first (and foremost) food group. any islander would agree — NO ONE DOES IT LIKE HOME!!!
…that said, having discovered the British Chippy was a moment saved in time forever… I had arrived. This small little restaurant is buried somewhere in the deep south that I am completely unable to find without severe GPS help and has vey limited hours so check before you go.
The menu is simple.
(and chips)! They use both Haddock and Cod (NFLD style), covered in a thin and crispy batter — made to order and so fresh each time that you would hardly find anything close elsewhere in this Prairie city. The fish is white, flaky, hot and overall perfect (a hard shoe to fill when judged by a Nflder raised on this stuff) — but they do it! The fish is accompanied by thick cut, organics fries that are amazing. I don’t know why — but amazing. Again, fresh and hot and amazing — order their gravy to go with it, do it.
…while at it, order a Boddingtons to wash it down — England here we are!
There are other items on the menu from the authentic UK owners such as mushy peas, meat pies and British pop. I have to confess — I have only ever had the cod and fries and it makes me über happy each and every time.
I highly recommend any F&C lover attend this fantastic locale for a feed, and if you don’t love F&C — GO ANYWAYS, you might be a changed person after!

I’d been craving fish and chips for a couple days, and The British Chippy is about a 10 minute walk from my house.
I called on a Sunday at about 6:25p 35 minutes before they were to close and was told my order would be ready at 6:45p. When I arrived I paid and was handed my food about 4 minutes later. The food came wrapped in paper and in a plastic bag (They seem to have ditched the Styrofoam containers that past reviewers mentioned).
The food was still hot when I got it home and the fish was absolutely wonderful, I had cod and it was about 2.5 pieces of the store bought, English style stuff and was nice and thick. and the chips were pretty good too. I will have to try their meat pies and banana fritters next time I ordered as they sound interesting.
My only nit pick is that I wish they had a two piece combo price and I would have like some more fish.
Defiantly worth the walk over, and I’ll be back next time I have that craving!

If there is one thing I like about going to a place for a quick bite, it’s a simple menu. The fact that I can go to place and not be inundated with something that resembles a culinary tome as opposed to a menu means a lot to me. I mean, look at the name — The British Chippy. I think I have an idea of what I want to eat when I come here.
This little eatery, tucked in the middle of a strip mall in Bridlewood features a small and humble menu featuring some popular British favourites aside from the items of its namesake. In addition to the handcut cod and haddock and organic potatoes, you can also get traditional meat pies, real mushy peas, fishcakes and that delectable curry sauce for dipping your chips. Delicious.
To wash it down there’s also a selection of drinks including domestic and imported soda (Lilt, Vimto, Dandelion Burdock, Irn Bru), beer (Guinness and Boddington’s) or a nice tea.
The fish is cooked to perfection. They are cooked to order and brought to your table piping hot. The crispy batter is wonderful and delightfully light followed by the juicy, flaky meat of the fish. The chips are also well done and serve as the perfect companion to match the 6 oz of bliss.
Meat pies are also good and do not take a backseat to the fish and chips. The pastry is flaky and the fillings are hearty, savoury with the proper meat to gravy ratio.
If you have not done so already, try the curry sauce… please. This unassuming side was an unexpected surprise and is now my current go-​to dip for chips or fishcakes.
All in all, I like the British Chippy. The food is tasty, the menu is solid and its close to home. My only complaint is the strange hours as it’s closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. In addition, they are closed between the lunch and dinner service so be sure to check the hours before you visit.

British Chippy serves obviously fresh fish that is lightly battered and nice big British style chips. Everything was very good and clearly fresh. I recommend getting curry to dip your chips in. Yum.
Twas a long trek, but British Chippy was well recommended by those polled on twitter, so off we went. British Chippy is in a strip mall in the far south community of Bridlewood. It’s not a large place, around 15 tables and pretty basic décor. There is a waiting space and counter by the kitchen to serve those that come in for take-​away.
When we arrived all the tables were full and there were a few others waiting for a table. I had expected that as I had been fore-​warned that it could be busy and that is also well-​covered in the previous reviews. Our wait turned out to be around 25 minutes, but half-​way through the wait, the owner took our order «so you don’t have to wait twice» and brought us the Guinness that we ordered. I thought that that was a pretty civilized way to handle those that wait. As we stood in the foyer, lovingly craddling our Guinness, we couldn’t help but notice that this little fish & chip joint was full of British accents. That bodes well, we thought.
The menu is short and sweet, you can have Cod or Haddock with chips or one of their meat pies. There are a number of sides that you can add, like curry for the chips, coleslaw and mushy peas. They have Guinness and Boddingtons and some UK pop (like Irn Bru), house wine, etc.
I had the Haddock and chips with curry and coleslaw. The piece of Haddock was huge and perfectly done, the batter is just thick enough while allowing the fish to be the superstar. The chips are british style, a little thicker and are great dipped in the curry. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp and nicely sauced.

The old adage of «good things come to those who wait» certainly applies here. You are going to wait for your food (or a table if you go right at supper time) — but it’s going to be worth it.
The size of the fish is huge. The fries are delicious.

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.
