Great fish & chips starts with getting the basics right.

We use seasonal British potatoes, choosing the right variety at the right time of year for better flavour, texture and consistency.

Then comes the part that matters just as much, how they’re prepared and fried.

Good ingredients. Proper technique. No shortcuts.

That’s how we do chips at Reel.

Good food, proper portions and a few extra reasons to visit Reel.

All our stores offer menu deals starting from £5. It’s our way of giving back to a community that has supported us since we have opened.

“I tried Bolton’s chippy of the year and it didn’t disappoint.”

By Grace Williams
The Bolton News
8 July 2026

Few dishes are more British than fish and chips. Wrapped in paper and doused with salt and vinegar, it’s a meal that has stood the test of time.

So, when Reel Fish and Chips was crowned The Bolton News Chippy of the Year for the second year running, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. The family-run business, which first opened its doors in 1998, has built a loyal following over the years and continues to grow.

I was greeted by Saima Suleman, who has worked at the Deane Road shop for just over two years. The shop was clean and welcoming, and the handy on-street parking made it easy to pop in. I kept things simple with a portion of cod and chips. The first thing that struck me was the size, which looked more than enough.

Salt and vinegar are a must for me, although I’ll happily leave the mushy peas to someone else. The batter was light and crisp without overpowering the fish, which was perfectly flaky and cooked through. I’m not a fan of thick batter masquerading as the main event, so this was exactly how I like it.

The chips were just as impressive, with just the right balance between crisp edges and fluffy centres. I polished off the fish with ease and, despite feeling full, found myself continuing to pick at the chips long afterwards.

Good chippies aren’t built on batter alone, and Reel had the feel of a genuine community business.

Friendly faces came and went throughout my visit, stopping for a chat as much as they were collecting their tea. One regular spoke warmly about the support he had received from the business during difficult financial times.

It’s easy to see why Reel Fish and Chips has become such a favourite with Bolton residents and our readers. Earlier this year, the business expanded with the opening of its third outlet on Blackburn Road, joining its existing shops on Deane Road and Lees Road in Oldham.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Bolton’s Best Chippy 2026 winner thanks customers with £5 meal deals

The Bolton News
3rd July 2026

Fresh from being crowned Bolton’s Best Chippy, Reel Fish and Chips has launched £5 meal deals for customers.

The family-run business has marked the occasion with offers across all of its stores as a thank you. The award celebrates another milestone for the brand, which first opened in Bolton more than a decade ago.

Since then, Reel has grown from a single local chip shop into a well-known name across Bolton and Oldham. Operations manager Shahbaz Jamil told The Bolton News: “Retaining Bolton’s Best Chippy means a great deal to our entire team.
“Awards are fantastic, but what matters most is earning the trust of our customers every single day.

“Seeing so many people continue to choose Reel tells us we’re staying true to the standards we’ve always believed in.”

The new £5 meal deal range includes four options; mini fish and chips, pie and chips, loaded chips, and sausage and chips. The offers will be available all day, every day as a permanent addition to the menu.

“We’re incredibly proud of the quality we serve, but we’ve also always believed that proper fish and chips should be affordable,” said Shahbaz.

“Whether you’re a regular customer or visiting us for the first time, we want everyone to be able to enjoy Bolton’s Best Chippy at great value.”

Earlier this year, the company expanded with the opening of its third outlet at 157 Blackburn Road. It joined Reel’s existing locations on Deane Road and Lees Road in Oldham.

Reel Fish and Chips crowned Bolton’s best chippy again!

By Grace Williams
The Bolton News 16th June 2026

A popular chippy has landed the title of Bolton’s best chippy - for the second year running. Reel Fish and Chips has been crowned The Bolton News Chippy of the Year.

The popular Deane Road takeaway has once again won over readers, securing the title after receiving strong support in this year’s competition. The family-run business, which first opened its doors in 1998, has become a firm favourite with customers across Bolton and continues to grow.

The Reel brand recently expanded with the opening of a new store on Blackburn Road, marking its third fish and chip shop. The owners say serving traditional fish and chips is “in their blood”, and their commitment to both quality food and customer service continues to attract loyal customers.

The staff were delighted by the news.

Saima Suleman, who has worked at Reel Fish and Chips for more than two years, said: “It’s amazing, I can’t believe we’ve won two years in a row. “We are a community place, so it feels rewarding for everyone. I think that community feel is why we’ve won, everyone comes here.”

Saima said the most rewarding part of her role is the people she meets every day. “It’s nice to come into work and interact with everyone,” she said.

“I’ve met so many people and, before this job, I didn’t have that.”

During The Bolton News visit, one regular customer spoke warmly about the support he had received from the business and its staff. Reel Fish and Chips emerged victorious after making the final shortlist of 10 favourites, which was drawn up following a wave of nominations from readers across the borough.

The latest accolade ensures the Deane Road chippy retains its crown and cements its place as one of Bolton’s best-loved fish and chip shops.

Not all chips are created equal.

Every portion starts with carefully selected, locally sourced British potatoes. We prepare them with one goal in mind, to produce chips that are crisp on the outside, fluffy in the middle and cooked exactly as they should be.

We don’t cook them in advance and leave them waiting.

Every portion is fried to order, so when your food reaches you, your chips are fresh from the fryer.

It’s a little more time. It’s a lot more care.

That’s the Reel way.
