Chipwick
About
Chipwick is a family‑run, award‑winning fish and chips specialist perched on Brighton Road in the heart of Worthing. Since 1981 when parents Jeffrey and Sandra Rance opened the first shop, the concept has evolved into a full‑licensed, modern‑era restaurant boasting a 40‑seater dining room, an outdoor heated beach hut, and a dedicated takeaway and delivery operation. The menu is built around freshly sourced, sustainably‑caught fish cooked in daily‑fresh rapeseed oil, served with hand‑moulded chips and an array of locally produced sides and desserts. A welcoming, relaxed atmosphere attracts families, couples and solo diners alike, while a child‑friendly menu and large‑seat capacity make it the go‑to spot for celebrations and gatherings. With a Google‑rating of 4.4 and nearly 800 reviews, Chipwick balances bold flavors with friendly service, earning accolades as “The Guardian Fish and Chips Shop of the Year” multiple times and remaining a beloved local institution for almost four decades.
