The owner is very knowledgeable. Passionate about what he does. Talked about the special flour he uses for the batter and the whole process of cooking the fish. The food was very tasty. Fish was cooked to perfection. We will certainly be back for more in the future.

If you’re a fan of fish and chips, Hill Heads Chippy in Newcastle is a true gem that sets the standard for quality, flavor, and customer experience. From the first bite, it's clear that this place isn't just another chippy but a haven for those who appreciate the art of perfectly cooked fish and chips. I’ve been fortunate enough to try some great fish and chips over the years, but Hill Heads Chippy has something uniquely special about it, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The Best Fish and Chips in Town: Cod n' Chips Let’s start with the star of the show: the Cod n' Chips. The fish is incredibly fresh, and you can tell that every detail is considered in its preparation. The batter is just the right thickness—light enough not to overpower the fish but crispy enough to provide that satisfying crunch. The cod inside is tender, flaky, and cooked to perfection every time. This is the kind of fish and chips that doesn’t leave you feeling heavy or greasy, just completely satisfied. The chips are just as impressive. They’re golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside, a texture balance that’s surprisingly hard to achieve. It’s clear they’re made with quality ingredients and prepared by someone who knows exactly what they’re doing. Paired with the cod, the chips complement the fish beautifully, turning a simple dish into a genuinely memorable experience. Unbeatable Curry Sauce I have to give a special mention to Hill Heads Chippy's curry sauce. I don’t usually focus on sauces in a review, but this curry sauce is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. It’s rich, slightly sweet, and has the perfect level of spice. It adds an amazing depth of flavor to the fish and chips, elevating them in a way that’s hard to describe. It’s so good that I’ve caught myself coming back just for a side of chips with curry sauce! An Owner Who’s a Master of His Craft One thing that stands out about Hill Heads Chippy is that the owner is clearly a food industry specialist. You can sense his expertise and passion for quality in every detail, from the way the food is prepared to the overall customer experience. The owner is always friendly and approachable, often chatting with customers and making sure everyone is satisfied. It’s rare to see this level of dedication, and it’s refreshing to visit a place where you feel like quality genuinely matters. It’s evident that he’s poured years of experience into crafting the perfect fish and chips, and it shows. This isn’t just a job for him; it’s a craft he’s spent time perfecting. That expertise and care set Hill Heads Chippy apart from other chippies in Newcastle, where it’s not just about serving food but creating a memorable experience for customers. Atmosphere and Customer Service While it’s a takeaway spot, Hill Heads Chippy has a welcoming and friendly vibe that makes you feel at home. The staff are warm, courteous, and efficient, handling every order with care and speed. Despite its popularity, you never feel rushed, and it’s clear that the team is focused on making sure each customer leaves happy. They’ve even been known to go the extra mile to accommodate special requests or dietary preferences, showing their commitment to customer satisfaction. Final Thoughts: Why You Should Visit Hill Heads Chippy Hill Heads Chippy is more than just a place to grab fish and chips; it’s a true local treasure where you can enjoy high-quality, delicious food crafted by experts who genuinely care about what they serve. From the exceptional Cod n' Chips to the unforgettable curry sauce, everything here is done with a level of skill and dedication that’s hard to find. For anyone in Newcastle or just passing through, Hill Heads Chippy is a must-visit spot. I’ve been to many chippies, but Hill Heads Chippy has set a new bar for me. It’s the perfect blend of quality, flavor, and friendly service that you want in a fish and chips experience. If you’re looking for the best fish and

Super clean looking place and the bloke inside couldn't have been any more helpful or courteous. I think the food was decent but I got a big sausage and chips for a colleague and she reckons the chips were dry. I'm just telling you what she said so dont shoot the messenger. Anyway I thought my stuff was ok.
