The Old Smithy Ltd

The Old Smithy sits in Smithy House on Leece Lane in Roose, one of Barrow-in-Furness's older village-like suburbs to the south-east of the town. This family-run fish and chip shop serves a straightforward chippy menu and includes gluten-free options, which appeals to a segment of the Roose and Dalton Road communities it serves. Older reviews praised crispy batter, generous portions, and friendly service, with one customer declaring they would travel a long distance specifically for the fish and chips. More recent feedback has been mixed following changes in management, with some reviews noting inconsistencies. It operates afternoon and early-evening hours on most days and is a cash-and-carry chippy rather than a delivery operation, serving the surrounding residential catchment on foot.
