Not been for a while but yummy love the place just I don't work near any more great place and always really friendly

Armstrongs really is the go-to chip shop in the area. The queues here on a wintry Friday night can get really long when all you want to do is run in, grab some fish and chips and run back out. My family had a take out night probably every other Friday (both my parents worked, you can't blame them) and mostly we'd stay within walking distance to our house but a fair few times we'd drive up to Armstrongs. It has all the usual- fish (home of the jumbo cod and all that...), sausage, pies, chips, baked beans, peas and cans of soft drink. The chips are amazing, exactly the right size, cut and frying. None of this Mcdonalds fries type nonsense that some shops are trying to get away with. Greasy goodness that you just can't ween yourself off. read more

Armstrongs - Fish & Chips Near Me - Prestwich, XGM

Och I just love Armstrongs! IT announces itself to you with it's tagline, HOME OF THE JUMBO COD...i always imagine someone shouting it..anyway,...it's a fish and chip shop that actually looks all shiny and clean inside, and it serves amazing fish and chips, and you can pick your fish size too!!! the curry sauce and mushy peas are amazing! they do actual chip shop curries! which go down a storm, and if you don't get there quick they will sell out from under your snafftastically tempted snout. It's amazing!!! The taste is amazing! I've been working late elsewere lately and the go to food was fish and chips, and bleugh it just doesn't compare..where was the rest of my fish...it had nothing on good ole Armstrongs AND it was more or less the same price... Cod, Plaice, Haddock or Scampi...yum! Hungry? Jumbo cod it up for £5.25, it's over two feet long! feed your family! The only time i ever hated Armstrongs was after the Oasis gig, whereby several thousand hungry giggers were forced to walk up yonder road and good ole Armstrongs was shut. Darn it. Armstrongs is so popular there are always queues, and it can pick and choose it's opening hours, but it's worth it! All other fish and chip shops will pale in comparison...even Mr Ramsden! read more

I live in Salford, but it's well worth a drive up the hill to visit Armstrongs. Excellent value, and by far the best fish and chip shop around. Convenient for Heaton Park as well, so you may like to buy some food here before visiting the park, or maybe even afterwards. Good service as well, but as the other reviewer mentioned, it can be busy - but with good reason: the food is always worth the wait. Everywhere else feels like second best after eating here :) read more

Armstrongs - Fish & Chips Near Me - Prestwich, XGM

Went to Armstrongs Chippy in SHAW last week, looking forward to fish and chips! We were served with a soggy grey fish and soggy greasy chips , it was the worst take away meal we have had in years , at least the dog ate most of it. Will not be going there again when there are better chippies in Shaw who serve fresh crispy chips and white fish with a crispy batter !!!!!! Come on Armstrongs you are supposed to have a good reputation -try to live up to it !!! read more

A fish and chip shop on Bury old road that often has a queue out of the door. The portion sizes are massive and easily feed more than one person per portion. A chip shop should be rated on its chips and Armstrong's are very good, I can't comment on the fish as I am a vegetarian but I'm told it is good, the pies are good and the sides (like peas, beans and curry) are excellent read more

Superb food and this is the one and only Home of the Jumbo Cod and this thing has to be seen to be believed. They have a wide range of food, but most of the dishes are traditional chippy favourates. Parking can be hit and miss as at tea time the place can get very very full of customers. Usally snaking out of the door, which must show you how good this place is. If you arn`t local but live in Manchester I would recomend a visit to here. read more

Good chippy, would've got 5 stars if it wasn't so bloody expensive !!!

When will they realise that an integral part of Fish & Chips are the CHIPS. It is impossible to fault the fish, peas, sauces etc but the chips are about the worst you will find. So much so that I have moved my allegiances to an alternative chippy. I have no clue why such a busy business cannot spend the money and invest in a fryer that fries proper chips. Within 5 mins of the chips being wrapped they are simply a large ball of grease and potato with little evidence that they ever looked like traditional chips. I must add that this is no one-off - it is the same EVERY time. read more

Its a really good chippy, when I come over from Yorkshire I usually call for something before getting on the motorway home. As an ex Manc I love the range of pies and puddings, all ready cooked and ready to go. It gets busy but you soon get served. I don't think its particulary expensive compaired to some in my locality read more
