Absolutely packed, queuing out the door on to the street on a Friday evening.
The reason why? Absolutely brilliant fish, chips and sausage! 3 fish 2 large chips 1 battered sausage, 2 peas 2 curry fed 3 of us to bursting. We probably went a little over the top but good quality food and considering how busy it was on a Friday we got out of there with the food in a decent time.
The only downside side is that you are pretty much shoulder to shoulder with other guests whilst you are waiting and if you are covidphobe then it's not for you, if it was any bigger though it probably wouldn't be living up to its name of the little chippy.
Parking, there's no double yellows on the main road so if you wanna be brave/cheeky and risk a wing mirror then you can have a go at parking there or if theres no room there is a car park behind the Victoria pub thats a few doors down, be warned, there are potholes that look like a Luna landscape so if you have a low bumper then be prepared to leave it behind.

Great traditional chippy, with smaller portions available for pensioners and a big queue on Fridays, as there should be!
'The little Chippy' Hindley Green:
Its chippy tea for tea tonight
I'm in Hindley Green, my timing is right
The little chippy, its doors are open, I'm going in the ladies are well spoken
Would you like a fish dear sir?
Oh yes please I must concur
Fish and chips please and wrap it paper, throw on some vinegar and let it soak in till later.
I'll tear open the paper so I just see a hole, ill dip in my fingers and eat them on my way home.
Its chippy tea for tea tonight, I think I've cracked it, the old owners in town and its tasting fantastic.
Stopped here today 15/04/2023 for fish and chips and two fish cakes, perfectly cooked fish with lovely batter, chips were the best i have tasted in a long while, i will most certainly be buying my fish & chips from here in future.
I drive past 'The little chippy' occasionally on my way home and always want to stop, yesterday i did just that. I wasn't disappointed, i can't believe I've left it this long, a traditional independent chippy with fresh fish and chips served in a sustainable cardboard box. I'm going to make this my go-to from now on. Its a 20 minute drive from Hindley Green to Salford. This journey is well worth it . I wish i could share a photo... Yum yum
Had my dinner here today, fish and chips, and it was lovely, cooked just right and good price. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I’m passing. Best chippy near me
Shame portions of chips have shrunk. Chips could do with another couple of minutes cooking and a few more per portion.
Excellent meal! Delicious fish and chips and peas😋 Prices have gone up but that’s everywhere these days. Best in area by some distance
We ordered between 4 of us, chips, battered cod, sausage, mushy peas and gravy. Couldn't complain about anything really except the chips looked a little anemic although they tasted good. The cod was great. Quite a large queue but that has to be a good sign. Would definitely go again
Great chippy and the package was great with fish and chips in and still keep it warm
It was cardboard box instead of trays.
That also help to reduce plastic.
The Little Chippy is a convenient stop off point when you're feeling a little bit peckish and you can't be bothered or are too busy to cook... Which for me is most of the time, (although I don't always choose to buy from a chip shop in particular when I am not cooking at home). The prices are roughly the same or similar to other chip shops in the area, and the food servings are often generous, with well cooked food on offer. Customers buying certain menu items are encouraged to pass on their choice to the staff as soon as they step inside the building, so that the food can be prepared as soon as possible and so that delays are kept to a minimum. It's a small plaice, (sorry, I couldn't resist saying that), and often it can be a bit of a squeeze to get in to the shop during busy periods. Off road parking is available at the rear and can be accessed via Long Lane, although some customers still prefer to park on the main road and occasionally on part of the pavement.
I must say, the first time I went to Little Chippy, I could smell the seducing aroma of the fish coming from across the entire shop. I immediately ordered 3 large fish and chips (All for me!) and ate it as soon as I could. The fish melts in your mouth and the chips are perfected to crisp! Wow! I've never had a chippy this good in my life! I have gained over 10KG eating your fish and chips which is why I gave it 4 stars, that does not matter however as gaining the weight is worth trying your fish and chips! I recommend this shop if you're planning to spoil your grand children over chippy friday!
UPDATE: I have recently just lost all the weight I have gained and am now ready for more chippy fridays with the grand kids. Updated the score to 5 stars!
Most of the time the fish and chips are very good - light crispy batter. Have had the odd occasion where chips have been bit below par and fish batter bit soggy.... But that is very rare. Seems to be busiest 5-6pm.
In my opinion the best chippy in Wigan enough said
Was shocked to see you back open after covid....the best chippy around. Was good to see owner at the helm...absolutely fantastic fish and chips....see you all next week.
