He liked them before they sold out. Their latest work seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Sorbet? Ah c'mon lads, strawberry sorbet is someĀ top posh nosh. Not better than a New York cheesecake but it's up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Stunning. But undecided on the cardboard box.Ā Should be in a foam tray coated in paper. Presentation looks a little too tory.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper or a cardboard box for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2018 Cardboard or paper keeps it all far less soggy and sweaty. Foam trays are shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 13, 2018 Foam trays are for kebabs. And they're terrible for the environment, and I've frequently seen them actually being melted a bit by hot chips. So you're eating whatever fucking chemicals they leech into your food.

Paid Members Chunk Posted September 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2018 Foam trays make food 'sweaty' in my opinion. No place for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 13, 2018 That's why they're perfect for kebabs which are already sweaty in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 That's why proper chippy's have the foam trays. Ā If you want chips they'll give you paper, you want a kebab it's the tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I think I've just found a new favourite chip shop. Our local place when I was growing up won the best chip shop award several years running, and I never thought I'd find anywhere even near as good as theirs, but holy shit, Arkwrights in Leeds has just blown my mind. Proper traditional tiny little shop, run by an ageing husband and wife who I imagine have probably been there for about a hundred years. The warmest of greetings from the pair of them when I went in, all smiles and chatting away as I perused the menu, which didn't take too long because it's a choice of either fish and chips, sausage and chips, or double sausage and chips, with a side of peas if wanted. I plumped for double sausage and chips, with one battered sausage and one "normal" one. Both jumbo, because that's all they do. I watched as the kindly lady scooped the chips out of the fryer, and they looked amazing. Big thick chunky proper chip shop chips, none of this bollocks "fries" nonsense, nice and golden,Ā seemingly perfectly cooked. I'll not lie, I was tempted to ask her to not bother wrapping them and just shovel them straight into my face instead. Wrapped in white paper and then handed to me in a brown paper bag, I paid my Ā£5.20Ā (possibly a tad steep, but after eating, I'm fine with it) and headed home. The chips were the absolute perfect consistency, nice and soft with slightly crispy edges, and beautifully fluffy inside. I started with the normal sausage which had a really nice almost spicy tang to it, and then moved on to the battered one. This is where I very nearly lost my shit. It was simply phenomenal. The batter was fairly thin, which is a plus in my book, and not at all soggy. It was the most crispy batter I've ever eaten, adding a tremendous crunch to the already delicious soft and spicy sausage inside. My only complaint is that it was so amazing that I wolfed it down far too quickly and it was all over too soon, but that was totally my own fault. Honestly feel like I'm never going to find a better chippy than this. All you need from a chip shop is a smile off whoever's behind the counter and a satisfying bit of grub, and this went way beyond expectations on both counts. I'm going to do a Meltzer and give it six stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2018 Sounds like a top experience, and the food looks great but its a bit light on the chips for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted September 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2018 where the batter on the sausage? It's like they didn't bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 No sauce offered on the menu at all? Disappointment for those of us who like to drench chips in curry or gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
