The Grange Farm - Leicester

There’s something quietly brilliant about a fish and chip shop that earns its stripes through sheer consistency – and that’s exactly what The Grange Farm in Oadby has been doing. Tucked away in this Leicester suburb, it’s the kind of place locals trust for a proper takeaway supper. Holding a top-tier Food Hygiene Rating, it combines that reassuringly clean kitchen feel with the unmistakable aroma of freshly fried batter. The team here clearly understand that great fish and chips isn’t complicated – it’s about quality ingredients and knowing exactly when to drop the basket.

The cod is the star of the show: thick, flaky fillets wrapped in a light, crisp batter that shatters at the first bite. Their chips are proper, chunky things – golden and fluffy inside, with just the right amount of crunch. If you’re feeling generous with your order, the mushy peas are a must, and the homemade tartare sauce adds a lovely tangy finish. Whether you’re collecting after work or having it delivered to your door in Oadby, this is the sort of fish and chips that reminds you why the British takeaway is a national treasure. Simple, honest, and absolutely spot on.
