Most Disliked
While many adore Ince Plaice, some customers note that the wait during peak hours can be a downside. The popularity of this chippy means that there can be a line, especially during lunch or dinner rushes. Nevertheless, most agree the quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile.
Some visitors have pointed out that the opening hours can be confusing. Although open daily, the restaurant may have restricted times that differ from standard dining hours. This can be frustrating for those hoping for a late-night snack, so it's best to check in advance before heading out.

One of the best chippies going. There's normally a queue for this place but it is well worth it. Shout the guy what you want when you get in to save a 10 minute wait by the time it comes to ordering. Opening times are a little odd but they most probably make more than enough money to open at the times that suit them. Besides the food being top notch the staff are real friendly too and always have a bit of banter with each other and the customers. 5-star eatery right here.

When you go to this chippy there is usually a wait. But the wait is really worth it for the quality food that they serve here. This is, personally, one if the best chippies that I've been to in Wigan. As long as you're not the last to be served before they close you're food should taste as great as it always does here.
