Customers rave about the quality and freshness of the food at Yates. The fish is consistently described as fluffy and tender, encased in a perfectly crispy batter. The chips are just as noteworthy, praised for their fluffy interiors and crispy exteriors. Many people mention the new weekly specials, especially the vegetable soup; it surprises and delights with its creamy texture and robust flavors. Additionally, the friendly and welcoming staff enhance the dining experience, creating an environment that encourages patrons to return. The fair pricing also earns high marks, with families finding great value in the meals. Yates often receives positive reviews for its kid-friendly offerings, especially the children's fish and chips, making it a popular spot for families.
Most Disliked
While Yates receives an abundance of praise, some customers do note occasional wait times, particularly during peak hours on Friday evenings. This can be a small inconvenience, but it often speaks to the restaurant's popularity. A few patrons have mentioned wishing for more variety in the menu, although the existing offerings typically cover the essentials of a classic chippy. Some also prefer an even crispier chip experience, but this is often a matter of personal preference. Occasionally, certain specials may not be available, leading to disappointment for a few loyal customers. Despite these minor grievances, most leave satisfied, knowing the quality of food makes any wait worthwhile.

I visited here yesterday, it was my first time after i had heard so many good things about this chippy so I ordered fish, chips and Irish curry after the staff kindly pointed out that they had started doing a new curry so i had a choice of three so i went with the new one, I have got to say the food was delicious and i will be definitely returning. It has got to be the best chippy I have had in a long time and I would recommend to anyone. Amazing customer service, food quality and price 👌

Came from Liverpool on a friends recommendation for the best chippy in Wigan and wasn’t disappointed. Lovely lady explained to me what ‘baby’s ed and pee wet’ was so got that plus sausage chips curry and black pudding fritter. It was delicious. Would come back again for the great food and friendly staff.
