Wigan's Secret Fish & Chip Shrine

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Step into a time capsule where tradition still rules the menu—Robbins J Chippy in Wigan, run by John Robbins since 1993, serves up legendary battered fish, jumbo sausages, and the iconic ‘Super Barm’ all from the front room of his terraced home. Generations have flocked here for crispy, golden chips fried right before your eyes, while walls plastered with Liverpool FC memorabilia and a menu straight out of the 80s keep it authentically local. John’s even got his mum next door sharing the phone line—and his own steak puddings, called ‘Babby’s yed,’ are a family secret. Locals swear this is the best fish and chips in the country. Just don’t show up in a Man Utd jersey—this is a Liverpool stronghold. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
