The Corner Plaice

The Corner Plaice is a traditional fish-and-chip shop that has served the Hulme district of inner-south Manchester since 2015, earning a loyal local following and a 4.5 out of 5 rating on Tripadvisor. The kitchen takes pride in honest, no-frills cooking — fish from responsible suppliers fried in pure vegetable oil — with the chicken and sausages prepared halal, and even a cooked breakfast offered earlier in the day for anyone wanting something hot before lunch.

Beyond the classic battered fish and chips, the menu stretches to meat and potato pies, mushy peas and a choice of gravies and sauces, among them chip-shop gravy, Chinese curry sauce and Indian curry sauce. Lighter bites and sides take in mozzarella sticks, onion rings, jalapeño flamers and veggie spring rolls, with vegetarian sausages on hand for those avoiding meat. Friendly counter service and a reliably clean shop have made it one of the more dependable chippies in this regenerated corner of Manchester.
