Most Disliked
While most experiences at Old Plough Chippy are highly rated, some diners express frustration about the cash-only policy. With a society increasingly reliant on card payments, this can be inconvenient. Guests often wish this well-loved spot could cater to modern payment methods, making it easier to enjoy a meal without cash in hand.
Some have also suggested longer opening hours, particularly on weekends, to accommodate those who might want fish and chips later in the evening. Although management warmly welcomes feedback, the casual, yet slightly limited atmosphere may not suit everyone, especially those looking for a more upscale dining experience.

After reading all the excellent reviews, have now been! As a coeliac it's always worrying to try somewhere new, but I would definately recommend coming here for sure. The gluten free food is amazing, lovely chips, super sized portions and a friendly service too. Thank you!!! Will be back.

Coeliac's Dream I had gluten free fish, chips, sausage, curry sauce and peas. Curry sauce was the best I've had from a chippy (pre and post diagnosis). Bloody gorgeous. Batter on fish very crispy. All so tasty!! Great service and knowledgeable staff. Wish I lived closer!!!

Had the regular fish and chips which was great, a good size portion. Another member of the group had gluten free fish and chips and was fine with it, no reaction. Friendly staff, now as photo shows it's cash only.

Visited for the first time yesterday, the fish and chips, both gluten free and regular were superb and the homemade cheese and onion pie was delicious (so my daughter tells me). The staff were friendly efficient and really carful with my gluten free order, even ensuring they used the gluten free vinegar and gave me the gluten free curry sauce. Portions were plentiful and good value for money. We'll definitely be visiting again. It is cash only.

The staff are always really friendly and very clued up on cross contamination procedures for gluten free food. The value for money is also exceptional; it's our favourite treat meal!

Always ask if you want fish as soon as you walk in, so service his really quick, efficient and clean. Beautiful flaky fish and chunky chips cooked very well. Lovely Irish curry sauce, worth the visit on its own 😀. Polite and friendly staff who are professional and efficient. Best chippy in the area 👍🏼
