The Wee Chippy Franchise System has signed its first 30-unit development deal with The Tastebuds Groups, LLC, a Texas-based company, to open the brand’s fish & chips locations across Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Tennessee.
The Wee Chippy, a popular California-based fish & chip restaurant that the Franchise Journal named one of the biggest emerging franchises of 2023, began in a 150 sq. ft. space in iconic Venice Beach. This “little shop that could” is thinking big with this first franchise development deal.
The Wee Chippy was founded by Scottish native Joe Gorrie, who brought some of his beloved traditional food to the United States.
“I was thrilled to bring a little bit of my culture to America, and now it’s even more exciting to see more chippies open in different states across the country,” Joe explains. “We’re confident that The Tastebuds Group will do an exceptional job bringing The Wee Chippy’s delicious food, outstanding service, and amazing experiences to these 30 new locations and we wish them nothing but the best.”

Our fish and chips are loved by many, but don’t just take our word for it!
Its a little shack, right off the venice beach walkway. Excellent fish & chips. The fried cod is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Not oily or greasy.... Read More The fries are thick cut, the way its supposed to be. Comes with a little side of slaw too.
Might be the best fish and chips I've ever had. I love the salts/seasonings you can choose from. A bit pricey but to be expected on the boardwalk
Excellent fish and chips . Delicious flaky batter on the fish . The fries or chips naturally cut and seasoned however you like. The creamy coleslaw some of the best!... Read More Tasty, spicey hushpuppie completed a superb meal. Hoping Weechippy keeps their food truck in Donelson, TN.
Great fish and chips and also have gluten free!!! They give you tons of chips here so go with an appetite!!!
Very tasty and fresh. Fish and chips can be a heavy food but the Wee Chippy strikes a great balance between crispy and rich without being too greasy feeling. I... Read More got the garlic salt on my fries and was surprised to find it came with real garlic bits, not just a garlicky powder seasoning. I'd suggest getting extra lemon to put on your coleslaw as it was good but could benefit from a touch more acidity.
Cutest little fish and chip stall on Venice beach. Finding it on google maps was pretty easy it's next to a couple other food stalls around a corner. I'm not... Read More really sure if there's only one or two guys back there working so if there's people before ordering you don't be upset about a wait. Outside seating was cute or you could take this and walk. No inside seating my dog also liked the fish
Window Only, outside seating. Delicious!
Those are your bullet points. Eater LA had a mini-spotlight on this spot in their top places to eat in Venice, CA.... Read More Otherwise, it's a tiny hole in the wall, in a weird eclectic area, that I would've walked past. But we drove here, specifically for this place. Anyway, They were right. The classic Fish & Chips is BIG and fantastic. Very filling. They offer spices for their fries too. Obvi I went with the jalapeño seasoning, and it was GREAT. Super helpful employee who explained all the options well. If anyone I know goes to Venice, I will recommend this spot.
This place is very solid have yet to find a better fish fry on this side of town. Even a woman from the UK said she drove 2 hours just... Read More to eat here and it's better than they get in London. That's when i knew I had to try it and she was absolutely right.
Simple and delicious. Took a nice long round trip walk from Venice to Santa Monica and was starving at the end. Saw this little hole-in-the-wall and thought, "why not?"

The fish and chips here are so crispy and light. The fish has the perfect crunch and is so soft and buttery inside. The chips are also good. Get the UK curry and ask for it mixed with the garlic! The guy at the window recommended this combo and i'm glad he did. For a fully fried meal, it was surprisingly light. Not greasy at all and hit the spot! Had enough chips to take home to air fry and enjoy later.
Stopped by this place for a snack while in Venice! The fish and chips were delicious. The fish was just melting everytime you took a bite and the fries were... Read More super thick and crispy. This is the perfect place to stop by, enjoy the views and get a snack!
Food:
100% bomb. Well worth it to share a classic fish and chips between 2 people. Two 4 oz pieces of fish and the most delicious steak fries. Best part:... Read More it's all made fresh. The wait is worth it.
Service:
Amazing. The people behind the register were so cool.
Ambience:
Came at 4:30pm on a Saturday afternoon, and luckily found parking after only a few minutes. It was pretty busy so I would take this into account! You may need to drive around the blocks to see if someone is leaving the beach.
There is an outdoor seating area that is adjacent to the boardwalk and gives a perfect view of the beach/sunset.
We watched the sunset while we chowed down on our incredible dinner.
11/10 would recommend and will 100% be back, not just once but regularly.
Ps: we met an artist while we are at this spot. Her IG handle is @bittydoesit check her out and support local artists.
Wow so good! Came here on a whim with my husband, dog and newborn. We split a fish and chips and it hit the spot. The meal came with two... Read More decently sized pieces of fried fish, lots of fries, coleslaw and a good amount of dipping sauces (vinegar, tarter sauce, ketchup, etc.). It was great value for the amount of food and so tasty.
The guy who worked there was also so nice and he had a basket of candy for everyone because it was Halloween. So on top of great food I also was able to snag an airhead. I'll be back to try more things for sure. Highly recommend.
Love the vegan fish and chips! So many options for sauces, etc. Super fresh and hot, perfect location. Thank you for accommodating veg
Tucked away fish and chips spot off the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Small ordering window outside with the menu to the right.
Opted for the Box O Chips ($4.50)... Read More to go along with jalapeno salt, chipotle ketchup, and chipotle mayo. The wait is surprisingly long, as it took 20 minutes for the order to be ready (fresh batch at least). Fries are cooked perfectly - crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Salt is not overbearing and gives it a slight kick. Sauces are good as well, probably would opt for the malt vinegar next time.
Didn't have the fish, but if the fries are any indication then it's worth getting as well.
Surprisingly delicious and super convenient fish and chips just steps from the walking path (and all the action) in Venice Beach. The Wee Chippy was recommended to me by a... Read More British woman eating there, who said she was "very fussy" about her fish and chips and was eating "some of the best fish and chips she'd had in Los Angeles." The fish was fresh, its crust crispy and not oily. The chips can be salted many different ways -- the rosemary salt is very good -- and the sauces besides tartar include choices like truffle oil mayo. The portions are generous! Buy from the window and grab a table in the low-key outdoor food court (it is located near a couple of other lunch choices so everyone in your group can get what they like).
