Mr Chips

Mr Chips is a busy little fish-and-chip spot right in the thick of things in central Portrush, with sea views from its perch above the seafront. It is a traditional chippy at heart, frying up classic Fish And Chips and a proper Sausage Supper alongside the usual run of burgers and battered bits, and it keeps a steady trade of hungry visitors flowing through the door all summer long. The takeaway counter is compact, so a queue is part of the experience when the town is busy.

Opinions on Mr Chips are genuinely mixed: some praise the fresh, flaky fish and crisp batter, while others have found the cooking and service less consistent, and it sits on the lower end of the local rankings on the review sites. It is best thought of as a convenient, central grab-and-go option when you are by the front rather than a destination in itself, with the cooking done fresh to order so a short wait is normal at peak times.
