The Chip Shed - Minchinhampton

Waited some time for very mediocre fish and chips on Wednesday night . Given the premium price I wasn't expecting under cooked chips and bland tasting battered cod. Simpson's remains my local choice even though it is much further away. Update: Emailed owner as suggested (twice) and after 3 weeks no reply.

This amazing take away used to sell the best fish and chips money could buy. You could return time and time again and the food would be consistently fantastic. The chips were fresh and ‘light’ with a beautiful flavour. The fish consisted of lovely thick flakes of white cod in a light, tasty batter - I’d eaten nothing as nice.
I hadn’t visited for a while but popped back about 3 weeks ago. This time the chips were oily, stringy and burnt; like they’ve been fried a number of times. The fish had a bitter taste and was actually 3 small very small ‘off-cuts’ in a ‘y’ shape rather than the traditional fillet shape; it was obviously very old judging by its unpleasant flavour. So the whole meal was the polar opposite from meals I’d had from here before.
I really hope this was a one-off bad experience here, but I can’t explain the drop in quality. Sort it out guys…..what’s the issue? You used to be amazing….!!????

Very disappointed with scampi - 5 tiny pathetic pieces, not much batter, very small prawns - under sold as said 6 in portion. Queried this and was met with a shrug of the shoulder…and had waited 35mins from placing order to be served this!! Will not be visiting again.

You dont to knock ocal businesses but this one needs to do more. Easy ish to order on line, and meal was being prepared as I arrived. So thats good. But the service was so flat. No conversation, no smiles, no eye contact no sorry for running out of chips and having to start from scratch. The fish batter was lovely but the fish is fairly modest in size. The chips were just the scrappy bits, not lovely big chunky yummy ones you really want. We left probably half of them. Would like to recommend but honestly don't think I would rush to go there again

First time I have visited the chip shed. Chips were chewy. Pie filling was just chicken, and so very dry. Pastry was awful. No crispness about it, just soggy.

Wife had fish and chips. That didn't fair any better. We both ended up throwing most of it away.

Not good. Won't be returning.

Just moved to Minch so I thought I would give the local chippy a go. Not that enamoured. Ordered steak pie, chips, beans, drink and 2 brownies. £17 for this including delivery was fine. Took about an hour, which whilst not fantastic as I live very close, was ok. When the food arrived, the beans had escaped and were over the "chips" which was a pain. The food was best described as tepid to warm. The chips were not what I am used to. I would call them half chips. They must of been made from small potatoes. More of a long chip fan myself. They were very crispy, again not my favourite type of chip. Was left with many tiny hard chips, disappointing. The pie was delicious with nice big chunks of steak, a very flavoursome gravy and a nice pastry case. The brownies, whilst being very tasty, were quite small for the cost. I will give it another go, maybe get from the shop though. Edit. OK, I get it now. Had Haddock and chips with mushy peas. This time, although for me there were too many tiny, tiny chips, they were all bloody gorgeous. The Haddock was cooked to perfection and the tartar sauce, which I wasn't expecting, was out of this world. Mushy peas needed a bit more seasoning for me but overall fantastic.

Super Chips, fish, pies and sausage from here tonight. Absolutely delicious. All cooked perfectly and the beef dripping made it so tasty. Chips are often dry from chippy’s but these were perfect, even after a 20 min drive home. Good sized portions too…2 large chips were enough for our family of 5 adults.
Service was excellent and helpful, they even offered to fry up separate chips for 1 vegan in our group.
Thanks Chip Shed

Ordered a large portion of chips and this isn’t even a small. A young boy served me, very polite but clearly not very trained. Annoying when your paying your money but getting nothing for it.
