They are also nice late at night when extremely refreshed in Bedford Place. BTW Piggy, which of the Morrison's pasties is it you recommend, the ones crimped at the top, the D-shaped ones or the steak and Stilton ones?

They have some crimped ones which aren't great if they ain't the best range stay clear. BTW the best range one's look like a cornish pasty should look. Junction you should drive to st marys street and get fish and chips from the place owned by greek people, opposite the Plume, mmmm tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 11 September, 2008 Share Posted 11 September, 2008 We had F & C last night and I had a pea fritter - yummy. You should all move near me - we've got probably the best chippy in the land just down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 11 September, 2008 Share Posted 11 September, 2008 My favourite chippy was in Derby, just off the ring road. The fried all their stuff in beef dripping, the smell and taste were wonderful. They did fantastic potato fritters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 11 September, 2008 Share Posted 11 September, 2008 Our pre match routine USED to be Max;s fish 7 chip shop down near Debenhams... those were the days. Over here our two local chippy's have both shut down, one is now manky Thai takeaway and the other has been demolished. There's one left that does Cod & Chips but it is right the other side of town and in the rush hour takes 90 minutes to get there and they are really inconsistent A local pub does great Hamour & Chips with Mushy Peas but has gone up from 30 Dirhams (about 4.50) to 60 about 9 quid.... Do miss it though and the Chippy & a pint of Real Ale are the two first things on my list when I come back to Blighty (after servicing the missus of course) so the BIG question Mushy Peas or Tartare Sauce?

Are you one of these people who says they are having fish and chips but never actually buys fish, therefore your having chips and battered sausage with a side of curry sauce.
