I'm always met with a big smile. The staff are always happy and laughing. Chips hot and cooked to perfection. My steak pudding is fantastic. My boy loves the cod Goujons . My husband has the fish chips and peas and says the batter is always spot on. Fantastic service.
Just a great Chippy. Everything was fresh. The staff very friendly. Had seen the Chippy on social media and didn't disappoint. Few of the menu items have different interpretations however there the same things. The dine in area is only small but it's cosy. Proper mugs of tea as well. Get down there.
Seriously the best chippy around! Believe the hype, it is that good. Great friendly people, and good prices for what you get. The Smack barm pea wet is phenomenal! The baby's 'yed was scrumptious. And of course the classic fish and chips were spot on!
We came all the way from America and we were not disappointed!
Lovely shop, the Wigan Kebab tasted great and was much bigger than I was expecting especially for the price. You definitely get more than what you pay for, and they do some seriously good pies. The workers were all lovely and didn't mind us getting a picture with the man himself. Will definitely be going in again when I'm next in the area.
Fantastic Chippy, with great food and service with very good prices.
We have a nut allergy in the family and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Other chippys in the area would do well to take note. 10 out of 10.
SMACK BARM PEA WET & WIGAN KEBABS GALORE!
This is the best chippy in Wigan, especially if you're after the famous (and elusive) Lancashire chippy items. Wigan Kebab (which is a meat and potato pie in a buttered bread roll), Smack Barm Pey Wet (battered potato scallop in a bread roll with water from mushy peas) and Babbysh'ed (Steak & Kidney Pudding).
The guys running this place are great, and this is a must if you're visiting Wigan, or you're going to a Rugby League or Football match at the DW Stadium up the road.
Best in Town by far. The fella has cracked it. Was dubious when he took over a few years ago. But their food really does stand out. I don't know what oil they use, but I prefer it to any other chippy in town.
What a place, i made the decision to visit after watching the Joe video. We diverted from the motorway on the way to watch the mighty Gillingham FC at Accrington Stanley.
We ordered the Wigan Kebab, Babbys Yed, Pea wet and Smack. The food was amazing 👏 All the staff were incredibly friendly, it felt like i knew them for years as they were so engaging. This place really is a gem. If we are going through Wigan again i will be calling in. The best chippy experience i have ever had.
Really nice chippy and great people that work there. fresh fish, stunning pies, nice puddings and you can't beat a Wigan Kebab (3 pies on a kebab skewer, a bun at each end, gravy and peas over the top)... Now that's a proper Wigan Kebab... And much more to offer. I'll be there again soon
Highly recommend. Amazing customer service. Sensational food. Arguably the best food I have had in England.
Best fish and chips in the area if not the borough, worth the trip over
This chippy is spotless, you could eat off the floor
I flew to the UK from Los Angeles just to go to this chippy and it was absolutely worth it
First time visiting the trawlerman fish and chips Wigan. Excellent food, lovely staff very efficient.
I had 4 large cod cooked to order with chips very tasty 😋 will visit there again when in the area

Extremely friendly excellent food and cooked as you like it. They also have scraps. If you not sure what scraps are well you have never lived. Bits of cooked fish batter. Great with salt and vinegar these didnt make it home the 4 mile journey was too much to bear and as I got towards wigan centre they just started whispering to me. Eat Me eat me iam so crunchy .well what am I supposed to do. I didn't need asking twice not even once so the scrap paper went straight in the bin when I got in.
The fish was so large it almost covered two plates. and the chip well they where brilliant.
So it only remains for ne to say I will be back.
The only downside about the trawlerman chippy is that they shut too early. The menu is vast ho and dud I mention the gravy!!! No well it should be up for an award. Its not as good as my sunday roast gravy .I've had many years perfecting that but it's up their.
So marks out of ten it a full Ten .
Always great amazing fish. Good chat while waiting. And they go to Benidorm 🥳
Eight people in the queue in front of me, early Tuesday afternoon was a positive start, as you don't queue for mediocrity!
As per the pictures, the portion sizes were perfect.
The quality of batter on the freshly cooked fish was excellent, as was the quality of the chips.
The three members of staff were very busy, but had time for a smile and a friendly chat.
Restaurant quality from a takeaway is hard to replicate, but they've managed to do it here!
I'll be back again soon!
Definitely worth the full five stars.
Try it, you won't regret it.
Went there and I wished for a smack barm pea wet, got up in the morning all happy because i was finally going to get that tasty meal.
When i got there the they said the potatoes were to small to make smack! I cried and cried some more..
I finally stopped crying and decided to get the fish and chips, those were an absolute scran, I loved it.
Great place would recommend!
