From the traditional chippy tea to those of the fancier variety, here up North we really do have it all. And now, diversifying the chippy scene even further is Leeds’ very own JJ’s Vish & Chips – a Burley-born takeaway that brings tasty vegan fish and chips to the city.
Opening just a couple of years ago back in 2019, the Yorkshire chippy has received rave reviews in its short time from plant-based foodies and meat-eaters alike, even racking up over 4,000 followers on their Instagram – a testament to its strong fanbase, despite its outer-city location.
Offering takeaway only from their LS4-based kitchen, the chippy is 100% plant-based, replicating the traditional British meal without the typical beef dripping chips and without, of course, the usual key ingredient: fish. Animal-based ingredients are replaced with plant-based oils and fillings, including tofu and nori sheets, as well as marinated banana blossom.
Owner Jess also has plans to expand her business further in Manchester with an IRL restaurant, too, just one year after opening her first chippy across the Pennines.
Available on Deliveroo, UberEats and Just Eat for anyone within the LS4 delivery range, the menu includes vegan takes on classic dishes such as battered sausage and chips, fish and chips, spam fritters, scampi and even deep-fried mushy peas. The chippy also stocks nostalgic fizzy pop, too, including the iconic Dandelion & Burdock. Anyone fancy a chippy tea?
JJ’s Vish & Chips is open Tuesday-Sunday from 4pm-8pm Sunday-Thursday, and from 4pm-9pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
