Sooooooo yummy! Was there Saturday night with my parents and two nieces. Thank you Chris for welcoming us and thank you Lindsay, our server, for being so lovely. The food was awesome - haddock and chips, shrimp po-boy, and two yankee burgers, one sans bun. I can't wait to go back. Thank you Chip+Malt. :) read more

Best fish and chips around. Their fish chowder, although a thinner consistency is outstanding. I never have room for dessert but the one time I did their sticky toffee pudding is incredible. Very friendly service, this place makes my top 10. read more

Had many friends recommend this fish and chip shop so decided to give it a try. The staff was very pleasant and we were seated near the back where everyone seemed to be. I could understand why as soon as the door opened and the next customers came in. The cold air ripped right up the aisle! We both ordered the halibut and chips plus being English, I ordered bread and butter plus the mushy peas. They said I would have to wait a minute as they were getting a new batch of mushy peas ready. No problem. The halibut and chips came out and the chips were cut very small, okay, never seen them that small but okay. Then the waitress bought out these little buns that were stuck together. It was impossible to separate them, cut them in half and make a chip sarnie. Many, many English people like to put their chips on bread and eat them that way. I asked the waitress if they had plain bread and butter, no, none available. Okay, note to self, don't order their bread and butter again. Now my mushy peas arrive, they are bright green! Anyone who have ever had mushy peas knew this wasn't the real McCoy. I asked the waitress what it was and she said they weren't exactly the same as what you get in England. They weren't even close! They had taken fresh garden peas and mashed them. Marrowfat peas are used to make the proper dish and they taste quite different. I couldn't eat them. This was also the first time I have had Alaskan Halibut. It was very nice but chunkier than I expected. Personally, I wouldn't go back there again as it isn't English fare and the owners are Greek, I would have loved souvlaki instead! The waitresses were nice and friendly, the portion size good and they didn't charge me for the bread and butter and mushy peas I sent back. If you are looking for a nice fish and chip supper, great place to go. If you really are from England........don't go... Chip and Malt read more

When I first moved to Newmarket I didn't care to try chip and malt as I figured how good could fish and chips really be? Luckily my husband convinced me to give it a try because this is probably my favourite restaurant in town. I always order my fish grilled instead of deep fried and it's delicious especially when paired with their house made tarter sauce. If I'm eating healthy I get a side salad and all of them are awesome but if I'm indulging then I'll get their house made fries which are so delicious and very generous in serving size! Don't be afraid to try their non-fish options - their house burger was featured on blog TO for good reason! I'd say it's even better than the burgers you can get down the road at Ground Burger Bar (and their burgers are pretty damn good). But perhaps the best and most indulgent menu item of all is the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I wish I had never tried it so that I wouldn't know what I'm missing when I'm trying to eat healthy! Keep up the awesome work Chip & Malt, we love you! read more

Amazing fish and chips. The chips are freshly peeled and cut on premises. They are double cooked and are so good! The waitress was super friendly. read more

Food was decent but i think they should relax on their serving sizes. I just dont like the fact that they serve this humongous plate of food that make you go "great, now its my responsibility to finish this now." I know there's a takeout option but i'd rather pay less and get spared subpar quality take home fish and potatoes. I just suggest less serving portions for less the cost. Other than that, food was great, place looked nice and servers were helpful! read more

i'm from California and I thought I'll try this fish and chip in place Ontario I can say to people there we're very nice. Service was good.I tried the Hollibut and it was very good. i'll definitely come to this place. read more

First time today at Chip and Malt!! Great experience! Portions were huge fish was delicious and batter was perfect texture! Our server was awesome! Cold-slaw could have been better and the fries a little more crispy but all in all another great addition to Main St. I will definitely be back soon!! read more

This is the first time coming here. Ordered takeout haddock and chips. Pretty disappointed when I arrived home and found no tartar sauce for the fish. What's fish and chips without tartar sauce? I called the restaurant to let them know and all the person did was apologize. I guess better than nothing. read more

Stellar. Was sent here on a recommendation and wow. 5/5 for price for quality and the same can be said for the wait staff. Highly recommended. read more

Best halibut and chips outside the west coast of canada. Found this place when I was in Newmarket Main Street checking out other places to eat. The place was packed on a Friday night but service was awesome once I was seated. The chowder was one of the best I have had in some time. The fish was fresh and servings were large for the prices. Come hungry. read more

Fanominal fish and chips. Very healthy portions and you will be full afterwards. Great price too. Only issues is it may get a little full if you just walk in during dinner hours. read more

The best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. Their desserts are fantastic too. Must try the Eggnog bread pudding at Christmas time. So rich and delicious (add ice cream, even better). read more

Fish and chips came in a huge portion. Nothing was greasy and tasted unbelievable. Also tried the chowder, to die for. Bread pudding was equally as amazing as everything else. The decor of the restaurant was really cool, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Can't wait to go back again! read more

I am not a big fish and chips person but ever since I moved downtown Newmarket I go to this place once a week!! The food is amazing, the portions are huge and it's only about $1 more than other places. The staff is so friendly....they treat me like a friend... it is probably my favourite restaurant in Newmarket!! read more

Best service I've ever had in a restaurant. Waitresses are super friendly from the moment you walk in and always very helpful. Portions are very generous. Fish was delicious. The halibut is worth paying extra for! read more

My wife and I have been here for lunch and dinner and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The servers are excellent. We had halibut and chips both times. Chip Malt was busy on Friday night when we went and it took about 10 minutes to get seated. If you don't have time to dine in they have take out as well. read more

Halibut and fries was delicious. Served piping hot. Even my last bite was still hot. Huge portion. Great service.

Had chip malt take out today best fish and chips I've had!! The biggest piece of halibut by far I highly recommend

Very impressed with the food, Had the halibut and chips with a side of mushy peas, the chips were fantastic and fish was good as well, generous portions and the batter on the fish was light and crispy great fish to batter ratio. Will be back. Mushy peas came out as a paste with a slight minty taste little too dry for my liking. The coleslaw would have preferred if less creamy and more vinegar. Service was excellent. read more

Friends had suggested we try it. Boy am I glad we did. Right from the get go, we were received by Chris who was very friendly and treated as if we were special. Tracey our server was prompt and pleasant. We ordered drinks and they came out quickly. Chris came back and explained the menu and the weekly specials. Tracey came back and we ordered the fish and chips halibut and haddock. We were not disappointed food was fresh and gigantic portions. In fact we took half home. We would highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back and try their extensive menu Jim and Naomi Newmarket read more

Went with a group of 6 no reservations, we were seated fairly quickly. We chose to cram into a booth, they gave us a couple options. Meal came quickly, halibut and chips x6. Every piece of fish was a good size, meaty, perfect amount of breading. Service was very friendly. We got bread pudding for dessert, was yummy, my grandmother loved it. They all seem to be very proud of what they do and they should be. Quality place. Definitely would return and recommend it. read more

First time there tonight and had a great experience. Halibut and chips and coleslaw was delicious! Friendly service, nice atmosphere. Will be back! read more

We made a special trip up to Newmarket to get the best fish and chips on dry land. Great service and food! Lots of chips, the fish portion is generous with a crispy, light batter. Oh my did we get our fill! read more

All the way amazing. The service here is exceptional and the food is fantastic. I am definitely a repeat and loyal customer here. The food is always fresh. The place is spotless. The service is super friendly, efficient and attentive. Heather is especially great and adds to the whole experience. I have ordered fish and chips and burgers (beef & lamb versions) and am equally impressed with everything I have had. The salads are a satisfying option if you don't want fries. Thank you! read more

I just love Chips & Malt. I sought out Fish and Chips in London everywhere; Poppies is very good, but Chips and Malt is just as good. So no need to hop across the pond! It's right in our little town here. And the owner is always there working very hard. I like that! Amazing servers! read more

What a treat! The food was outstanding and it's cozy. Service was great. No complaints there. Thank you to everyone at Chip+Malt!

This place is surprisingly good. The fish and chips are to die for and the service is almost always great. My kids and I just love it. Lots of variety in their menu for a fish and chip joint. Even have good salads. Definitely recommend read more

Visited on a Friday night and it was very busy. That being said the wait wasn't too long before we got our table for 6 (2 adults and 4 kids.). Service was great and our waitress was very helpful and attentive. Portions were huge. We ordered Sheppard's Pie (a little bland), a haddock and chips (very flaky),a Big Crunch chicken buger (amazing), a Big Ben Burger (massive) and a regular burger. Overall food was good but I do have a comment to make in regards to the gravy and poutine that the restaurant uses. Our kids are poutine lovers and often send their dad's on "poutine runs" because they crave it so much. They did not finish the poutine here because the gravy was quite gutless. That being said that was only a small issue as the rest of the food was fine and the place is obviously known for its fish and chips, not poutine. We didn't have room for dessert so I think next time, I would share some mains to have room because the dessert menu looked amazing. Even as we left I was amazed that every server in the restaurant smiled and told us to have a good night. I've never had that happen before and was very impressed. Great experience over all! read more

See all

Excellent and wide array of British style food, their fish and chips were particularly amazing.

I've never tried fish and chips before because they always looked pale and pasty and boring, but then i stumbled on this place and changed my mind. Their fish was deep-fried to a perfectly crispy golden brown and the inside was soft and flaky. The chips were delicious too, but if you're here, you might as well try their sticky toffee pudding. It's to die for! The portions here are pretty big though - my date had to finish my dinner and we had to share dessert. Customer service isn't bad either. Would definitely come again :) read more

Well I have been looking for a classic fish and chips place to try. The staff are great here. I ordered the halibut and chips it was the best I ve had. My son had the haddock and he loved it.We had onions rings to start they were fantastic. A great surprise was they serve Innis & Gunn beer. We will be back thank you Chip and Malt read more

Awesome fish and chips! The onions rings with the spicy dip gave it an extra kick. I could have eaten an endless amount of them. Service was great! Everyone was super attentive. Dessert was great. Deep fried Mars bar... What more needs to be said. Also, they have homemade pumpkin pie ice cream for the season which was also delicious. Will visit again when back in Canada. read more

What a small town gem! The fish and chips are crispy and delicious, however the Greek salad is what keeps me coming back! Also, I highly recommend sharing the chips and curds (poutine) with a friend, the portion is substantial and the taste is delightful. read more

Friendly staff and nice portions. Half our guests (two) loved their fish and chips. My cod couldn't be cut with a fork due to a piece of either skin or membrane on the dark meat side of the fillet. The chips were mixed sizes from tiny crispy pieces (over cooked) to nice large pieces done to perfection. Dipped in their delicious gravy solved the over cooked problem. My wife's Halibut however tasted fishy and we order her Halibut because it's usually never fishy. We were not sure if it was simply a Tuesday after a long weekend (using Saturday's fish) but at least half out fish wasn't up to quality we expected to get based on what most of the reviewers here have said. We would go back again because half our group thought it was the best fish they had in a long time and maybe it was just a fluke (excuse the pun) we got some poorer quality fish read more

We were their last night for dinner and the fish was fabulous. We had halabit and chips. The fish tastes just like the famous Penrose in Toronto that closed over a year ago. They give you so many chips you can't finish them their homemade tarter sauce and coleslaw were also so delish.one of the best fish and chip restaurants I have ever been to. The waitress was quick friendly and polite. The owner was super friendly and very nice. Definetly worth a ride to Newmarket. read more

Great food and amazing homemade desserts. They also did a nice job with the design and decor, definitely worth a visit!
