When a restaurant has survived nearly a century in business, you know they’re doing something right. While not the fanciest joint in Rhode Island, this unfussy, counter-serve eatery is known for its authentically delicious fish and chips. When you’re looking for that traditional British taste, Ye Old English Fish And Chips will satisfy every time.
In 1922, Ye Old English Fish And Chips opened its doors in Woonsocket. Although it has moved to a larger building and the fourth generation of the family is now in charge, the delicious food hasn’t changed.

The most popular menu item by far is the Fish and Chips. Hand-cut fries go perfectly with a light sprinkle of malt vinegar. The fish is battered British-style and served with your choice of sauces.
