Title: Best Chippy?
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 17 October 2010, 00:52:03
Just telling someone of a child hood visit to a chippy.

My Gran lived in Langley Park and I will never forget the visit one year where Dad took me to the chippy.  Really old range, and fired by coke, and everything was cooked in dripping.

Never forget the taste of them, sadly not many chippies cook with dripping these days because of the high flash point and cooking temp.

I didn't buy them but was given them by the lady who booked the band for the evening - not the sort of supper you really want before a gig having driven 250 miles!

Sometimes pop over to Tony's in Cardiff's Caroline Street for one with a bag of chips - deeelicious indeed! ;)

Our best-ever chippy has to be The Esplanade Fish Bar at Lynmouth ;)
Absolutely spot-on, and close to the Cliff Railway.
