Chippy Tea

@Keith Houchen and @air_raid Both seem to think that this is a chippy and they're wrong.

Worry not guys.  The definitive guide will be up later which will solve all arguments and not start any new ones up at all.

[Keith Houchen]

They do fries, not chips.  Swing and a miss.

[air_raid]

"Baguettes"??? "Taco fries"???? And stapled to a wine bar too. That's such a "you can get everything here m8" I bet there's a happy ending upstairs if you want one.

At least you found something good about South Molton. It's such a nothing town in the middle of nowhere. At least Bideford and Barnstaple have some nice bits.

Don't forget the market every Thursday and Sunday!

Doubt it.  Loki is probably in that wine bar.

Also, to settle the discourse on whether a 'proper chippie' can sell kebabs;

This is one of my local chippies. Does a banging mixed kebab meat with large chips, plus the occasions I've settled for a fish and scallops w/curry sauce and chips combo have been marvelous. Proper thick-cut chippie chips, proper battered fish, traditional chippie menu (and that included kebabs, as is tradition in the West Midlands) 8/10.

 

This is a kebab/pizza shop. Drunken student food located in a student heavy area near my area. Sloppy kebabs and greasy pizzas, served with Farmfoods french fries in those foam boxes. 3/10 (or 5.5/10 when off your tits).

As you can see, MASSIVE difference. Proper chippies serve kebabs (but not pizza unless it's deep fried).

I've finally decided what's going on my gravestone.

Chips = Chippy

Fries = Not a chippy

Interesting choice for a vegetarian there Gus...battered Quorn sausages yeah?

Where in Devon was this? Chips looks really nice, as does the sausage. I found a really nice one in South Molton during the summer. Went there three times in one week because of this bloody thread. No ragrets.

I've fallen off the wagon and have spent the week eating every animal I can lay my hands on. Duck, pork, lamb, beef; it's been in my stomach.

Woolacombe in North Devon.  Been coming here since I was a kid. Possibly my favourite place on earth.

I went to a chippy there too, it was nicer than the South Molton one. I genuinely believe the sea air adds to a portion of chips. Loved the beach there, Woolacombe is very nice.

A quick Google search confirms the one I visited was the Woolacombe Fryer.

Same one I went to! Must have had fish and chips from there for 20 years or so.

Yeah, Woolacombe is glorious. Going to spam up the holiday thread in a few days with pics. Saw probably the best sunset of my life day before yesterday.

Not a proper chippy if it's in a town where the sun sets. That's a caff, mate.

There's a "proper chippy" style chip van parked outside my local shopping center these days, everything looks pretty normal execpt for "Onion Rings of Saturn".. I'll report back this weekend, prices looked good too.
