The Inplaice

Zero Stars. How to lose customers 101. Been here a few times, the chips have been below average, customer service is borderline North Korea.
And then this debacle started. Apparently they don’t do small fish and chips on a Friday. You get what you are given, on their terms.

The In Plaice does something called scraps which a bits of batter sprinkled over your fish and chips. What genius.
I liked the chips, they do taste like maybe they are cooked in some kind of terrible oil, but in a good way. Bit suspicious of the fish as it is called «fish» and not «cod» or «haddock» and one time I met an award-​winning chippie owner (he literally was carrying an award) and he told me that normally means some kind of dodgy Chinese aquatic eyeball is involved. But you know what, it tasted fine, the woman serving me was nice and I ate it outside in the sunshine looking at Bradford’s beautiful town hall and various assorted inhabitants and it was all pretty great.
Bonus points for a fish chop name that is a pun, and its general no frills proper chippie atmosphere.

i like my lunch at this little fish shop and when i travel to bradford i always go. its always value and staff are nice and not to mention the food its a basic good chippy.

Cunningly, you’d never have guessed it but the In Plaice actually sells fish and chips! Based on the corner of Sunbridge road it is perfectly situated for the pubs and clubs of the city centre, shame it doesn’t open late nights or it would make a mint. But for the daytime it does a mean chip buttie and sells imported coca cola for a mere 40p a can, a steal I am sure you can agree. The staff are, well, a bit dense but there you go, it’s a chippy, not mensa. Prices are low, and it’s a popular haunt for all Bradfordians and tourists too. It has a tiny little sit-​in section if you want a proper sit down dinner and a cup of tea. It’s basic but it’s an OK chippy and popular too.

If you fancy grabbing some fish and chips while in the city centre this ‘plaice’ is a decent option. They have very reasonable prices and the standard of food has always been really good whenever I’ve been in. They have a decent amount of seats if you’re looking to eat in or if you fancy taking some home with you then that option is there for you too. As far as chippies go I’d say this one is above average, nothing spectacular but you’re guaranteed a decent sized portion. The smell of the food alone is likely to entice you in.

I usually bring a friend along when I eat here because of the 7.50 pound for two meal deal. Basically the meal includes two cups of tea, bread and butter, and two sets of fish and chips. The proportion is quite large and it is filling. A can of coke costs 29p and goes well with the meal. However, call me cheap, but I do think it is strange that you have to pay 25p for a small packet of ketchup/​mustard/​tartar! There are only a few seats as mentioned, but I think most people buy the fish and chips for takeout as the dine in menu costs a bit more.

This is at the bottom of town and easy to spot by the wonderful aroma coming out of the place and also the queues outside. On a nice sunny day we like to get some chips and sit in centenary square with them. On a cold day hopefully there are some seats inside for us.
The place is only tiny and thus there are only a few seats so be prepared to either share or wait for a table. I myself prefer not to share with a stranger.
The food is gorgeous in here — this is the last fish and chip restaurant in bradford city centre and i wish it was bigger then you could guarantee a seat.
The fish is lovely — it melts in your mouth. They offer all the usual fish and chips to take out and also there are some desserts when you eat inside too. The prices arent too dear and there are deals for pensioners too.
The staff are usually friendly but they are very busy with both the takeaway to serve and the restaurant part. The door is kept open for the takeaway and the restaurant is in the same part so it does get cold when eating in and you cant have a quiet meal as obviously it is always having people coming and going.
There is a toilet in the back but you have to go behind the counter and the toilet is really tiny and hard to get in/​out of
