Six by Nico has launched its new site at Westgate in Oxford offering its chip shop-inspired menu, “The Chippie”. 

The Chippie takes inspiration from chef Nico Simeone’s family fish shop in Glasgow and will be running till Sunday 30 June. Since its inception in 2017, the Six by Nico team have developed, “refined and evolved” The Chippie experience. 

The menu features re-imagined dishes like Chips and Cheese with parmesan espuma and curry oil and emulsion with crisp potato terrine, Scampi served with brandade, dill emulsion, gribiche, peas and beurre blanc, a modern take on the traditional Fish Supper with scrabster coley, pickled mussels, confit fennel, samphire and beer emulsion. 

It also includes a traditional Steak Pie, of 24-hour Beef Shin and Burnt Onion Ketchup, and mushroom duxelles and Smoked Sausage with a trio of pork, apple, crispy crackling, salt baked celeriac and choucroute. 

Simeone, founder and chef of Six by Nico, said: “The Chippie was created having been inspired by my family traditions, growing up around my grandparents’ chip shop. The ultimate aim of the menu is to bring a sense of fun to the culinary world and a sense of Nostalgia. We are thrilled to showcase a six-course menu that has been refined and developed over the past seven years, to showcase the best of our creativity. After announcing, we have felt such a warm welcome here in Oxford and cannot wait to finally open our doors at Westgate.”
