The Chipperies

A long-standing fixture in the heart of historic Wareham, The Chipperies is a traditional fish and chip shop that has served the market town for years and prides itself on freshly prepared, cooked-to-order frying. Expect proper chip-shop staples done the classic way: crisp golden cod, sausages in batter, pies and mountains of chips, all wrapped up to enjoy down by the quay or back at home. It is the sort of unfussy, community chippy that draws a steady stream of regulars from across the Purbeck area.

Opinions vary, as they often do with a busy chippy, but it holds a solid 3.6/5 across more than 360 reviews, with fans praising crispy cod and huge portions of hot, non-greasy chips. Run as a family business across several generations, it keeps things simple and traditional rather than chasing trends. For a quick, satisfying takeaway in central Wareham, a classic Cod And Chips here remains a dependable bet whatever the weather along the Dorset coast.
