Where do you stand on the Lobster Pot? The salt and pepper chicken and the chicken burgers in there are rank, the chips seem to get left around so if its quiet I always swerve, but the battered sausage, curry and fresh chips are really good. I’m a blue mate, can’t stand the Lobster, everything is far too greasy, even the pies somehow Quote

Correct... so what is it? And what is a 'cheque' of Irn Bru? Quote

My local is The Sea Shell and it's great. My favourite currently is The Little Chippy in Cheadle, absolutely tremendous chips and gravy in there. Wanted to try the seashell a few times, but I always seem to go when it’s closed. The little chippy in Cheadle is awesome. Used to play D&D in the church hall opposite on Thursday nights, then stuff my face there. Happy greasy memories. Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) May have mentioned before but the chippy next to my work does a lunch offer: Sausage/pie/pudding/quarter chicken and chips with curry/gravy/peas for £2.00! Whoever mentioned £7+ needs to move further north. Edit: Obviously you add in a bap (don't start!) and a can and you have the greatest £3 meal deal known to man.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 I'm usually a cheese & onion pie, chips, peas and gravy type guy, although sometimes I go for a jumbo sausage, chips and curry, or if it's the Chinese I'll go for half rice, half chips. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 16, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted August 16, 2018 We have a chippy at work, after reading this thread I’m bloody tempted to pop along if I get a chance to have lunch tomorrow. Quote
The Maestro Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Ideal chippy tea is fish (ideally haddock), chips, curry sauce washed down with a can of Dandelion & Burdock (or a can of Rio if no D&B). And Chinese chippies are an odd one. They're either fantastic or utter pish. Nothing really in the middle. There's one on Stoney Stanton Road in Coventry called Chippers which is balls. Popped in once for a bag of chips. The woman just got a bag of oven chips out of the freezer and chucked some in the fryer. Pish. But on the opposite scale there's one on Bolton Road in Darwen not far from Ewood that gives out the biggest portion ever. Last time I went I got a bag for £1.20 and it fed four of us. Proper good.

Paid Members FLips Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 Cod, chips and mushy peas with more salt and vinegar than actual food. I don't put salt on any other food post-cooking but my fish and chips get buried in it. Quote

Can't stand stuff from the chippy without it. Also, regarding chips and gravy. Should salt and vinegar go on before or after the gravy? Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 Nice can of dandelion & burdock, or fizzy Vimto as a back up. Quote

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 Before. You get the vinegary crispy bits at the bottom then. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 See, I had always had mine after but The Little Chippy does it before and it's noticeably nicer. Quote
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2018 I’m a dipper myself, but if it works for you, party on! Quote
