Jesus Reigned Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 The chipshops in Woolston are f*cking rank, without exception. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Osti Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Slightly out of town, but The Codfather in Hedge End and Paul's Plaice in Bishops Waltham are both excelent. I think the Codfather is way over rated despite all the award claims, we have used it twice and both times it was average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 I've been going to the chippy in Netley for over 30 years and have never had reason to change. Netley chip shop after Sea Scouts on a Friday night - chips 6p, pea fritter 4p, pickled onion 2p, lo the boy that had saved up 12p over the week; to live like a king after scouts on a Friday night. They also did 'scraps' which was basically a bag of fried batter off-cuts which you soaked in S+V and which cost 1p !!!! Bliss on a cold Friday night in Netley. Happy days (1971-'74), a wholly more innocent time than today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Bag of 'crackling' after Saturday morning pictures, nought beats it. Add a bottle of pop bought with the proceeds of 2p deposit money from bottles pinched from same chippy, result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidshokk Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 I think the Codfather is way over rated despite all the award claims, we have used it twice and both times it was average at best. Totally agree. Overpriced for what you get and chips nothing to write home about. The chip shop at top of Thor hill still do the massively oversized portions for 1.85. Good chips too. Some others in the area have started using boxes and just fill in the gaps around the burger leaving you with hardly any chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackanorySFC Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 Mikes in West End is quality, turned into Blue Fish or some other s*** recently and were properly stingey. Luckily was bought out by Mike who is the original owner's (Frank) son and back on form last time I went there a month or so ago. Codfather is run by J Henrys (Hedge End Village), average at best and is basically a manopoly as there is no where else to go in HE unless you drive to Thornhill and go to Speedys (not sure it's called that now but was when I lived in Harefield as a nipper) or Mikes in West End. Only good thing about J Henrys was hanging around outside as a 14/15 year old chatting up any bit of skirt that moved and taking them into HE Rec'.... The things girls would do for a bag of chips on a freezing cold Friday night! Anyway, be grateful, when I moved to London I realised how blessed we are in SO as all their old chippys have been bought out by chinese or Turks and turned into generic takeaway s***.

Toomer Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 Can't remember the name of it but when we went to Crewe a few seasons ago there is/was one near the ground and they were the best Fish & Chips I had had in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 26 August, 2011 Share Posted 26 August, 2011 Another vote for St James' Chippy here, and an honourable mention for Codfather too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted 27 August, 2011 Share Posted 27 August, 2011 I agree. I got fish and chips from there 2 weeks ago. First time since the old fella gave it up and it was gash compared to the old nosebag. St James was bought by Nick Hannides, a solicitor from Shirley. Quality has gone down big time since he took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
