mel b3 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I was in a 'posh' resturant recently offering 'triple cooked' chips at a premium price. So basically chips reheated twice. They were dire. I had some of those in a very posh foodie place , they promised the earth and delivered a pair of old pants. By far the best fish and chips in the country , are to be found at the black country museum , youll need to stand in a very long line and wait for an hour or more , but theyll be worth it.only on sale to visitors unfortunately though. My recent new second best fish and chips , are to be found at the riverside diner in bridgnorth , although its not actually at the river side , theyre perfect except for the fact that they dont sell real bread and butter , they sell some american bap type thing and that really isnt good enough.:-).

Gordon R Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 ditchman - oddly enough I had a similar experience. About 2006, I had some business in Milton Keynes and stayed in Whitchurch. Myself and a colleague set off for the pub - just down the road - and came across a fish and chip van. It visited twice a week and had a smell all of its own, but they sold excellent fish and chips.

BlaserF3 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 The Codfather at Allonby is excellent and The Chippy Bank at Ulverston is very good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 A bit deep for me. Yorkshire have the best fish and chips, Leeds United, but some very odd people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to tell me Leeds UTD is something to be proud of? Gordon I did credit you with some sense until a few moments ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_seagrave Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Waldos,Sutton on Sea,Lincolnshire. Ooh baby. My in-laws have a house in Sutton-on-Sea, and Waldo's is pretty good. I used to see a sign advertising coal-fired fish & chips in Sibsey(?), but never stopped. I feel as though it was called 'Greyfriars' - the same turning off the A16 as for the parrot sanctuary.

felly100 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Pretty good? They even let you bring your own utensils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I see what you did there LS PS: according to the Google, Greyfriars is in Stickney not Sibsey. Still never tried it though. There's a coal-fired chippy in Gainsborough called Uptons which is supposed to be a bit special. Again, oi've never beeeeen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
