Best English Chippy.
 

What do you think is the Best ENGLISH chippy in or around Accy? My Favourate got to be Clayton St in Sunny Gt.Harwood.(Stake pud, chips, peas & gravy, with a fish on top) yum -yum.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Yep.... The Clacky Diner also gets my vote. fish, chips, mushy peas and gravy to eat in the little room at the back, with a steaming mug of coffee.. Lovely. :D

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Burnley Road Chippy is very good:

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Mmm... Clacky Diner. I was in there for my tea, last night.

Sorry Lettie. I couldn't resist... ;)

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I shudder to think of what you get up to when I'm working...:rolleyes: :D

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

That's on my list of 'most missed about England'. Steak pud all in, how I wish.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

its hard to find a good un around accy these days, ones at Kelbrook,Gargrave,and one in Skipton,are my favourites.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Moorend chippy in Ossy is good and the one opposite the co-op has changed hands again but it's still quite good.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I love Moorend Chippy. Not all that keen on the one across from Co-op. My little bro has just started working at Moorend, so might be able to blag some free tucker from him!! lol. I also like Church Street chippy. It was good when pubs used to shut at 10.30pm on a Sunday and the chippy was open till 11pm, it was far better than a kebab or pizza.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

YORK St chippy is the best one round here IMHO

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Just read york street's been taken over so it has to be the Abbey Friar, ok i know he's a bubble and squeak(greek) but the food's great and he's always up for a joke or two!

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

trinity street chippy in ossy used to really good, but someone else has took over and i have to say it has gone rubbish, the pies are rock hard like they have cooked them the day before and the chips are warm ups, dont think the person who has it now will last long!

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Can we widen this discussion out (as Jeremy Paxman likes to say) to all-time best chippy in Accy & district, past and present?

I would nominate Len's on the corner of Ranger Street and Eden Street. His fish and chips were the best I've ever tasted anywhere, and, as my mum sometimes says, "when he died, the secret died with him". I reckon the key to his success was the fact that he didn't diversify. No pies, no pasties, no sausages and curry sauce would have mortally offended him.

No, he just stuck to what he knew best - fish, chips and peas (with, of course, the obligatory packs of Park Drive and bottles of Tizer in the corner). And it worked...Len's was the most popular chippy in the district. I can still see the queues stretching up Ranger Street. Accrington's best-ever chippy, in my opinion!

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

i'd have to say clayton street chippy in great harwood :D i aint been for a few years it might be different now but it used to be bloody good

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Now yer talking about chippies, used to go to lens when i lived in church and that was a fair distance in those days, when did the old guy actually close? remember going there mid-late 70s.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Reckon it was late 70's/early 80's when Len and his missus called it a day, Mr C. I've never tasted fish & chips quite as good since then. I remember customers queueing up with their bowls for a "mixture" - chips and peas mixed together. You never see that these days.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

There is a good one on Blackburn road "Park Chippie" they cook them fresh when ordering even the chips, the batter on the fish is crispy too you have to wait but its worth it the fish are great

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I know this is an old thread!!
I bet you mean the one in the town centre near the bus station (old one) and just opposite the old post office (now booths) if so,It's Pawsons chippy -and I wholeheartedly agree!! you can also eat in-and it has my husbands vote,so it must be good!

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

That one at the top end of oswaldtwistle near the rose and crown

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Best chippy in Lancashire that one.. theres signs to it from the carriageway.. you need to be heading away from the town center though and then up the back street..

OK back on thread people :)

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

eww no there fish gave us belly ache, chips are good though!:p

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

we must have the same taste(if you pardon the pun)i have to agree with you the best chippy round here for miles and good service and a clean eating area.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Used to go there when working at Platts they were good too.

Anyone recall the little chip shop on St James St across from the baths??? Used to come out of baths in shop 3d chips in funnel and plenty of vinegar HMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Got my hungry now LOL

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I know that Kingston is a little out of the way, and not quite Accy and district, but there is a great chippy/pub at the corner of Johnson and King St. If you are ever in Kingston, and feel the need for fish and chips, try the Pilot House Pub. No steak and kidney pud, but there is steak and kidney pie, scotch eggs, steak and oyster pie, and really decent fish and chips. Great atmosphere, english beer on tap, 100 metres from the lake. The cook and part-owner, Margaret Grogan, is from Preston.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Tess'a on Nuttal Street ( wonder I am still alive) to see if the chips were ready she used to bash one on the counter....

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I like burnley road chippy like magpie, however ive been going to the oaklea chippy very often. Its got better as time has gone along! :) (And because im fat and lazy so i can just nip round the corner to it) :)

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I used to use Burnley Road... but I have now moved ... not had any chips from the chippy since I moved ( see I can be good ) :-)

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

If your ever in Rawtenstall, Rays plaice in the centre has the best fish in the world, no kidding, its the best honest!

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

The Spotland Chippy, accross the road from Rochdale's football ground takes some beating.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

This place certainly would have got my vote when I was in Ossy.

But you lot are lucky to have Lancs chippies at all! In this dourest of dour holes they call 'em fish shops, look at you funny if you ask what pies they have (NO CHEESE & ONION OR STEAK PUDS!!) and then offer you "bits" with your chips ie the bits of congealed fried batter that have dropped of the fish in the fryer. The lazy beggars don't even talk right. For instance to order two lots of fish & chips you go into the establishment and say "twice, please". Ask for a teacake and they send someone out for a currant teacake! It's high time for the last round of the wars of the roses.

Steak and oyster pie... That sounds amazing!..I'm thinking of getting out there for that alone...

Back on track, there's a chippy on Bryan St. nr. the Infirmary in blackburn, it's run by Tom(an ossy lad) with his sidekick Joyce. The food is excellent and always packed and queing outside on a friday aft. The only one downfall(and you know I'm not one to complain or owt), it's not open for supper, so get down for your dinner or tea if ya know what's good for ya!:D

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I was brought up in Great Harwood. I have yet to find a chippy as good as Clayton street. They make their own pies and puddings. Long live Jack and Freda.

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

I don't remember a time when they wern't there , they have to be getting on in years , hopefully when they retire the local civic society will erect/place a blue plaque on the building .

steak pudding , chips and peas with a fish on top in the back room .......worth a kings ransom :D :D :D

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Busy lizzies in Skipton

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Is that still open? I heard good things about it and went a couple of years ago. It said it was closed until further notice. Is it now up and running again?

Re: Best English Chippy.
 

Its ages since i was in Rawtenstall but i remember a belting chippy there ,next to Fitzpatricks herbalists ...
