Mr Lau

Lau Fish & Chips — long listed under the family name Mr Lau — is one of the standout chip shops in Conisbrough, trading from a short Church Street parade just down from the castle entrance and the market place. The kitchen runs the classic fish-and-chip-shop format: hand-battered cod and haddock fried to order, fish cakes, scampi, jumbo sausages, mushy peas and curry sauce, with a tight kebab section running alongside the fish range. Customers regularly single out the fish, the kebabs and the curry-chips combinations.

The shop holds a Google score on the high side of 4.5 across hundreds of reviews — unusually consistent for a small-town chippy — with reviewers describing it as the best fish and chips in Conisbrough. Trade is collection-led with a small local delivery radius. The site sits within the historic conservation area at the heart of the town and the shop tends to do well from the tourist trade drawn in by the castle and the Trans Pennine Trail crossing.
