The Plaice in the Square

Tucked into the heart of Southwick, The Plaice in the Square is the kind of traditional chippy that locals quietly rely on. The frying is done the proper way, with crisp golden batter giving way to flaky white fish, and a generous heap of chips alongside. The signature Cod & Chips is the order most regulars reach for, but the counter also turns out sausages, pies and the usual seaside favourites, all freshly cooked to order rather than left sitting under a lamp.

Friendly, no-nonsense service keeps the queue moving, and the shop has built a steady following across the wider Adur area. It holds a solid online reputation, rated 4.3/5 from more than 100 Google reviews, which reflects the consistency people keep coming back for. Whether you are grabbing supper on the way home or feeding the family at the weekend, it remains a dependable spot for honest British fish and chips done well.
