Chippy’s just don’t smell like chippy’s anymore. Probably the fat they use these days. The batter on the fish used to be really crispy now it’s a soggy mess by the time you get home.
We have an independent chicken place that effectively is Nando’s although half the price and way nicer. Half a Chicken served on a large slate board with a choice of sides and a drink. Had one for lunch yesterday it was superb and filled me up for the day.
