The British Chippy Ltd.

We called in here towards the end of their lunch time opening but were still warmly greeted by the owner who invited us to stay for lunch even though it was nearly closing time.Several other customers were still there finishing their meals and as they left, staff were quick to clear up and completely clean the table. Ours was spotless but the owner still came over and wiped it down again just before we sat sown.Originating from the UK we knew we wanted haddock and chips with a side of mushy peas and we was not disappointed when it arrived. The haddock was a good, full size fillet, lightly batted and deep fired. The chips are cut from organic, locally grown potatoes. These are as real as you get when it comes to chips - not fries. Cooked perfectly, not at all greasy.I really liked the mushy peas as they were cooked, my wife prefers them a little sweeter and added some sugar. The peas are genuine dried marrow fat and made in to mushy peas on site by the owner. Definitely worth ordering and I am glad we did.Before we began eating we had considered having a desert too but half way through we were both happy to say that we couldn’t manage anything further.As is the tradition, we had our fish n chip lunch with a pot of tea which was refilled to give enough tea for the two of us having abut 3 - 4 cups each.The decor inside in tasteful and not over the top. The bathrooms are spotlessly clean and tidy. There is an outside patio area that I saw as we walked up. This business is on the old Main Street of Okotoks, away from the big box stores but I would recommend that you pay them a visit. Lots of parking was available either on-street or in small carparks within a very short walk.The owner was also our server and was pleasantly chatty without being intrusive. She was very knowledgable and provided us with a 10% discount when she found out my wife was also a teacher. We don’t visit this are very often but when we do, we will certainly be paying another visit.Other reviews have comments on the price. Compared to chain restaurants, the price is very comparable - except the food quality at The British Chippy is far superior.

This tiny unassuming little house on Elizabeth Street provides the best fish and chips in southern Alberta, despite what other restaurants claim with their "badges". The fish is truly a large piece of fish - not processed and pressed, and the french fries are genuine french fries, (again not processed with a multitude of additives then coated with flour and other disgusting things).It is not the Chippy you find in England where you walk in and they grab it off the shelf and wrap it. There is a slight wait time while they make it from scratch once you order. An outdoor patio can be enjoyed in the warmer months. Staff is friendly and service is good. Do go to this one! Highly recommended!

Can't say I was very impressed. Turned up not long after they opened to grab some lunch and was told they had no fish! Went for the (in my opinion) second best option of sausage and chips only to be told they had no sausages either! My only option was pie and chips apparently - although I was surprised they didn't tell me they had run out of chips too. Not great for a chippy to have no food on offer really. Looking at other reviews for this place it's not the first time either. Went elsewhere to get some food in the end so can't comment on the quality of what little food they do have available.

While the Fish & Chips is good, I found the price to be quite high.You can get similar meals at various restaurants and pubs around town for far less.The establishment itself on the other hand is very unique, cozy and friendly atmosphere with a nice patio as well.If you don't mind the price it's worth trying.

Aunthentic British food. I had the steak pie and the crust was fantastic. Cooked all the way through, not burnt. More fries than a person can eat. Coleslaw needs a bit more mustard. But fish batter was minimal and there was lots of fish. Delicious!!
