Briggs, Wallis & Benn — Restaurant in Bradford

This place has been on my radar since it opened, but I just hadn't had a chance to travel over to try it out. It was certainly worth the wait!

Don't be fooled by the small size of the shop because it packs a big punch! The menu has a twist. Traditional fish and chips, or fish and chips with spice. This is a nice touch and a unique offering. To add to that, they sell a ruby chicken, which is chicken thigh curry.

Starting with the fish. Fried traditionally using Halal beef dripping, it has an incredibly crispy batter, with a nice golden colour. Perfect texture, which, when peeled away, reveals a nice flaky piece of haddock. The chips, fried the same way, are a delicate balance of crispy and fluffy. Something that many chip shops struggle with, but Shehzad, the owner, has nailed it. The chicken is absolutely delicious. Soft yet still moist and flavourful. It's not just your usual curry sauce thrown over chicken. This is a proepr homemade recipe.

You can tell there's a real passion for delivering high standards. With attention to detail evident across the dishes. Even the name of the shop pays homage to the local area and its industry. This shows the level of thought and care that has gone into this venture. It's not "just a chip shop."

This is a must visit place for any fiah and chip lovers. I can assure you, you will not leave...

I recently ordered from Briggs, Wallis and Benn and had the pleasure of trying both their classic fish and chips and their unique spice-infused fish and chips, and I was thrilled to find out that everything is halal!

The classic fish and chips were perfectly cooked—the batter was light, golden, and incredibly crispy, with just the right amount of seasoning. The fish inside was flaky and fresh, and you could taste the quality with every bite. The chips were spot-on too: thick, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside, just the way they should be. They really nailed the essentials, and it brought me back to the best traditional fish and chips I’ve had.

But the real star for me was their unique spice fish and chips. This twist on the classic was something I’d never had before, and it was fantastic. The spice blend added a beautiful kick and depth of flavor without overpowering the fish. It was just the right balance of spices, adding warmth and complexity to every bite. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into creating something special, and it paid off.

Knowing that this delicious experience was fully halal made it even better. If you’re looking for top-quality, halal fish and chips that offer both traditional flavors and creative twists, I highly recommend Briggs, Wallis and Benn. You won’t be...

Fish & chips were decent considering it was my 1st visit and probably my last. Fish size in comparison to Mother Hubbards and Hooked on Summerville Road, BD7 was far to small but I won't knock the taste. I went on Sunday afternoon when the owner was not there. Two girls, looked like they just come out of school, refused my request to have some spice powder sprinkled on the chips unless I paid 50p. Please bear in mind this is only place where you have to pay for spice powder, absolutely ridiculous . Everywhere else there is no charge. Anyway, I paid the 50p and my bill was £9.75 plus £1.50 for a Can of drink when everyone else charges £1 and not to forget the 50p the girls charged me for having some spice powder which they did not let me put on myself, they did it. They were treating the spice powder like Gold dust. Lol. Well it was my first and total cost £11.75 not such a happy experience for a new customer. I won't be going back, I just wanted to try this place following a You Tube review, but they bent backwards for that guy cos they had to, he was making a video. Bottom line, nothing special about the £9.75 Fish and chips, it was the regular size fish but can get alot bigger fish other places. The fish itself was oily too. I probably chose the wrong day, not sure if they have an...
