Golden Chip

Golden Chip is a traditional fish and chip shop in the centre of Ballycastle, a familiar name among the town's run of shops and eateries. It sticks to the tried-and-tested chippy repertoire, frying up battered fish, sausages and the kind of golden chips that go down well after a day exploring the Causeway Coast. A classic Fish Supper, wrapped and ready to carry off, is the order that keeps the place ticking, and it offers the usual line-up of pasties, burgers and chicken bits alongside.

It is a registered food business holding a Food Hygiene Rating from the Causeway Coast and Glens council. Online opinion is mixed, with some diners rating it more modestly than the town's other chippies, so it sits as a no-frills, convenient option rather than a destination. Still, for a quick, hot bag of chips in the middle of Ballycastle without any fuss, it does the simple job that a good local chip shop is there for.
