McFaul 35 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Starbeck Chippy used to be mint btw. Not been in a while though. Aye it's top notch, best one in Ryton/Crawcrook/Prudda by a mile. I meant the one in Sandyford (Starbeck Avenue). No idea if it's still there even. Ah aye, been there when I used to work in Jesmond, it was alright, I'm thinking of StarGATE which is at the top of Ryton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3193 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 You would think with all the fatties in Scotland they'd have some decent chippies but everyone I've been to has been awful, the blue lagoon in Glasgow possibly the worst chippy on earth. Honestly give Gormans Cowgate a chance you won't go to another chippy ever. http://www.anstrutherfishbar.co.uk/ Best fish and chips I have had in Britain Best Fish and chips I ever had was in Cambria in California.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Pauls Golden Chippy --- Jarrow / Hebburn. Freshest fish going and the batter.....oh my good lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Trencher's the one a bit further along, that's sort of posh inside? If so, I've been and the food is quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Aitken's Debut 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The Harbour Chippy at Amble is fantastic, decent portions and fresh fish with a nice batter. Wen to Pinnacles a month or so ago, it was ok but not superb. No top notch chippy's in the Cramlington locale - the one at Annistford is possibly the best of a poor choice. If we are having fish I would head for the coast although Gorman's seems popular on here. They always taste nicer at somewhere like Whitby or Scarborough sitting by the sea.

The Royal and The Quayside are the other award winning ones in Whitby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones in Central London are all absolutely wank, and I mean wank. There's a good one in Blackheath though and a goodun in Fulham but obviously that's out your way. If there's black people selling them the rule is they'll be utter shite, and that's not racist it's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Aye I thought as much, cheers anyway like, I don't get how the capital can do one of our national dishes so shit.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sea Shells on Lisson Grove, Baker St or Edgeware Rd tube. Expensive (£12 ish) but good. There's an excellent one in Covent Garden called Rock and Sole Plaice. Again expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 133 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 sitty in at The Waterfront on N Shields Quay is a solid 9/10 every time. Cooked fresh everytime. Bowl of batter on the side. The takeaway can be iffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8988 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 You're unlikely to find a decent one central. Cracking one up Chalk Farm called, Oscars (I think) and the Clapham Fish Club is top notch, but both a bit out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Cheers lads appreciate the tips, even for January when i'm back at uni, if i'm bored one day i'll just purposely get to one. One in Chalk Farm sounds a good 'un as i'm in Camden quite a bit so that's just a stones throw away. Sucks being out west because it's such a pain getting about like!

I will admit to something here, I've mentioned before I worked in Sunderland for four years, the chippy beside Doxford Park Morrisons was fuckin belta!

There's a place called Micky's off Praed Street in Paddington. It's good and pretty reasonable. As featured on Heston's Blumeywatsits in search of perfection (according to the sign on the door).

Cracking one up Chalk Farm called, Oscars (I think) and the Clapham Fish Club is top notch, but both a bit out of the way. Olivers. Most middle-class chippy on earth. They cook the fish to order so be prepared to wait for it to arrive but they usually do a good job of it. Don't expect much change from a tenner.
