Why Thank you. I also am not a big fan of this Orford Fryer. People get yourself down to Mike & Marthas - best in Warrington.

Hidden gem is the Parksway chippy (sic).

Have you ever had a M&M's sober?

Suprisingly, yes. Small portions admittedley but the taste is impeccable.

I think the Chip shop industry is in a sorry state to be fair….the finest Chip shop bar none used to be the Neptune bar in Stockton heath (now Called Pannys I think)..They smelt like chips, looked like chips, and tasted like chips. The menu was roughly about the size of an A3 piece of paper…..Chips, Fish, Sausage, peas, Beans, gravy, Curry, and a selection of pies.
That’s all you need….

Then a close 2nd and 3rd were The two Harry’s Chip shops, the one opposite Vicky park and the one next to Penketh paints near the borough arms. Sadly like a good old fashioned pub they have long gone. (turned to a Chinese takeaway/chipper)

now its all sorts of junk on sale, burgers, Salt n pepper Chips, donna meat… what’s a chip shop doing Donna meat for ?…for that you go to a Kebab Shop.

And the worst of all sins is those places that cant cook chips properly from a fresh potato. Usually a Chinese Chip shop…they have them half cooked and waiting in the chipping basket ready to be re-dipped in the hot fat giving the appearance they have been freshly cooked.

I really would struggle to name one Chip shop that does consistently good, fresh, non Soggy Chips….

Blairs Britain my friends….

Nothing like Cantileiver.
Or Parksaways is the best one near ish to me.

The best chippy was George's in Lymm.

the best chippy used tobe kongs in latchford village, awesome. a good one now is trawlerman on liverpool rd, captains table is also a good one

Does anyone know any good ones in Runcorn?

I few years ago I heard the people in Widnes calling chips and peas "a mixture" - what's that all about?

My missus is from Widnes and that's what she calls it, the wrong un. They've got a load of other little phrases. It's like they are from a different planet. Well they are 25,000 miles away from us.

She tells me that they call Chips and peas a split in St Helens. Another bunch of Wrong uns.

And Latchford!

i'm not disrespecting orford, im an orforder born and bred... i still live there now
just i would rather pronounce my words properly, it was a bit of a sweeping statement as most people do talk normal. Sorry for the offence
