Proper bullshit. I used to work around the corner from Mickey's in Paddington. They have a sign in the window as recommended by Heston Blumenthal on BBC 2. The truth was, he filmed in there, probably based on location. It was shit. That said, Sutton's is often lauded as one of the best so I wouldn't write it off. But in general, London Chippys are shit.

SpiritOfTheForest 212 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 There were at least double the ones seen there underneath the fish. Chips made up for in quality what they lacked in abundance and I'm quite enjoying the sensation of feeling like I'm still able to move after a chippy. Feeling nicely full instead of uncomfortably stuffed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The truth was, he filmed in there, probably based on location. Being a Heston nerd I looked into why he went to that restaurant, as he's pretty principled about his research. For the making of In Search of Perfection (fish and chips), he wanted to interview David Blagden, fishmonger to the Queen. He wanted advice on which fish fried best, how to prep it, which cut to use. He gave him that advice but under the proviso he did a segment in David's own London chip shop. It probably isn't a great chippy, but that's how he got the advice. Chippy tea thread had its first birthday yesterday. Each plate still looks and tastes great. Looking at piles of brown food never gets old! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pros - Fish is enormous, an absolute leviathan      - Chips are the bollocks      - All fish is made to order and it tastes phenomenal. Cons - While there's way more chips than can be seen in the picture underneath the massive fish, still way too few chips Chips! 1, 2, 3.....8 of them!

Moderators Chest Rockwell 7,297 Posted August 19, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Being anti getting food delivered is a new stupid low in gatekeeping, which is saying something coming from the forum that brings you the EATCLEAN thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Danger 3,258 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 It's unusual for a chippy though. I've never had a traditional chippy delivered, never had the option. I imagine those non-chippies that do kebab meats and chicken wings do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
