Molloys Fish and Chips

Molloys Fish and Chips is a classic chippy serving the people of Downpatrick, the sort of traditional takeaway where the batter is crisp, the portions are hearty and the fryers rarely stop. Much of the food is prepared from scratch, and the friendly counter service gives it a proper local feel. Alongside the seafood there are the usual chip-shop staples, so it works equally well for a quick teatime supper or a treat for the whole family.

The chippy is well liked, carrying a 4.4/5 rating on Google from a few hundred reviewers who praise the freshly fried fish and generous helpings. A Haddock Supper is the obvious order, with beautifully battered fish and a heap of chips, while the sausages and other fried favourites round out the menu nicely. Reviews are mostly warm, with the occasional grumble about busy-period waits, but the overall verdict is a dependable, good-value fish supper in the heart of County Down's cathedral town.
