Paid Members stumobir Posted June 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2019 That fish looks fantastic. An Italian chippy proprietor once told me the sign of a good piece of battered fish is that you should be able to hold it up at one end and it doesn’t flop/fall to bits. You could lay a brick wall with that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted June 27, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'll be in Manchester on Saturday and definitely planning on heading to Wright's to grab lunch (never been, but fairly certain I've seen it before - somewhat old-fashioned-looking place, just over the road/corner from Albert Square and the Town Hall?). Do I get the impression it gets pretty busy in there on weekends?

Yep, that's the one! It does get busy but thats probably because there is only a few seats in the place, the weather should be good though so eating outside won't be an issue.

Keith Houchen Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I know I've been going there for years but it wasn't until about 3 years ago I noticed what it was called. Â Don't know if it's always been called that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that shitty "Authentic Fish and Chips" they sell at the Rose and Crown Pub quick service window at Epcot. A poor imitation. Now, those deep fried Snickers at the irish Raglan road in Disney Springs on the other hand....Thats some proper batter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted June 28, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yeah it's generally awful. I live in the New England area so you can find "fish and chips" but it's more of a restaurant style and generally a poor substitute. Definitely no chippies to be found. A chippy tea is literally the first meal I have when I fly back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 First effort from me in a while, ÂŁ3.90 for the lot including the Rio - quite pleased with that considering I'm in North London. It was all lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
