Best Fish and Chips in Macclesfield

We asked Macc to settle it once and for all: who does the best chippy tea in town? Battered cod, mushy peas, curry sauce, the lot. Here are the results.

There are few things more sacred up north than a proper chippy tea. Battered cod, a heap of chips, mushy peas on the side. Maybe gravy. Maybe curry sauce if you're that way inclined. Either way, everyone in Macclesfield has an opinion on where to get the best one.

So we decided to settle it. On MaccPicks, locals vote head-to-head between Macclesfield's chippies, picking a winner each time. No sponsored reviews, no paid listings. Just people in Macc voting for the chippy they actually go to on a Friday night. You can browse every venue in Macclesfield on the site, or discover new places you might not have tried yet.

The results feed into a live ranking that updates with every vote. Here's where things stand right now.
