Magpie Chippy
Friendly neighbourhood chip shop in the Marden area, popular for freshly fried fish and chips.
About Magpie Chippy
The Magpie Chippy is a neighbourhood fish and chip shop on Ripley Avenue in the Marden area of North Shields, away from the Quay and firmly rooted in its residential patch. It is the sort of local chippy that a suburb runs on, with a steady following and a name that nods to nearby Newcastle United's black-and-white faithful.
The draw is straightforward: freshly fried fish and chips, cooked to order and served hot, at everyday prices. It had a brush with fame when Lewis Capaldi picked up a supper here on a visit to the town, but its real reputation rests on being a reliable, friendly local that regulars keep coming back to.
