Church St Chippy
 
As i`m a vegetarian i`m always a bit suspicious of my local fast food emporiums so don`t use them often i just go to the chippy instead, don`t really have a favorite but the other night me and the missus decided to pop into church st chippy as we passed by ,anyway we got chatting to the owners (after i asked if the curry contained meat) and was surprised to be told that not only is it 100% veggie but even their gravy is vegetarian !!! and all their products are fried in Frymax which s a `Healthier` alternative to the usual chippy oils. So hats off to them , just thought if any veggies out there want a chippy tea CHURCH ST chippy is the place to go. :D

Great chippy, and really nice people.

I'll be there in half an hour, tucking in to fish 'n' chips.

Love the little lady who clears the tables, she's the Mum of the lady that owns it, and we took her a custard tart and a jellied pie on Tuesday because she is such a sweetie.

The only thing wrong with Church Street Chippy it is not open in the evenings, say 6 till 8 when this vagabond returns from the Club, but yes surely must be the best in town, fish and chips as they should be yum yum.

It's been modernised now, but it's not that long ago that they had a range in the cafe in the back, and they brewed your tea on that.

I have always used Church Street Chippy, and remember going here as a little girl and sitting in the little cafe at the back. Was always a treat and something I really looked forward to.

Re: Church St Chippy
 
We go on a regular basis. By far best chippy for miles. Has it ever been a bad one? I used to go there for my dinners when I worked for the Co-Op in Accrington and that was more than a few months ago :D

We live in Brisbane, Australia and whenever we go back to Accy to see family, the first stop for a meal is always Church St. Chippy. Ken and Diane are such genuine people. And then its off to Gregs for a pie as there is nothing like that here. not even close!!!

cashman 25-01-2010 22:19

Re: Church St Chippy
 
its still as good as ever, top chippy, top couple.:)

Do you think they are potato pies made with Corn Beef ? Some people make their potato pie with this ... it's ok mind you, not the same as with proper beef like to me.

Well, You are talking about my regular lunch time venue, Church Street Chippy. They do not come any better and Ken and Diane (the owners) are just wonderful people. Since moveing from Chorley 3 years ago I have discovered some jems of eating places here in Accrington, and Church Street Chippy is just one of them....Another that I should mention is Yates pie shop in Henry Street Church.Take away food of the pie, pastery, cakes, variety do NOT come any better...Stoping smoking 15 months ago has made me realise that food is king...,I never eat anything else !!!

I'd heard a lot about Clayton Street Chippy for many years without having tried it, it used to be Lancashire Cricketer Jack Simmons favourite Chippy for his "Simmo" Fish, Chips, Peas with a Steak Pudding on top!

I decided to give it a try 2 or 3 years ago, but i'm afraid i was very dissapointed, Fish with really thick stodgey Batter, not light and Crispy as it should be, and "Crinkle Cut" Chips!!...again these were soggy, ive not been back since i'm afraid!

PS...If anyone has any visits planned to Riggs Garden centre at Walsden nr Todmorden...make sure you try Grandma Pollards Chippy just further down the road from Riggs. Fantastic Fish n Chips, been there many years, they make there own Savoury and Fruit Pies too. They usually stick a couple of Scallops - battered potato slices - on top for free too....Damn Good!

Fantastic chippy, and luckily the right side of the border. So you don't have to worry about holiday tum, by drinking the foul foreign water, if you have a brew.

Its a good un all right, and you can also sit by the side of the canal with yer grub on a nice day. Their Strawberry Pies are lovely too, usually take one away for my supper.

Another good one is Senior's Chippy at Normoss Blackpool, who do lots of different varieties of Fish, some of the more sustainable ones, like John Dory, and some ive not even heard of before, "butter fish" was one they had on my last visit! They have branches at Lytham and Thornton to, but i prefer the Normoss one!

I've been to this one a couple of times too Taggy .. have a friend that lives at Walsden, and usually go there for our tea to save her cooking. Yes, very good ... we did buy a fruit pie, but was too much for me after their main meal. Not always good for parking though. Very busy most of the time and extremely friendly owner.

It has been closed for most of Jan, has it reopened yet?

And anyone any idea why it was closed?

I mus admit I was surprised when I got a cornish pasty from there & the insides were pink, they are usually a dull grey :D

They've been on holiday.

Being a small family business they have to close down when they're on their jollies.

Seconded, although I must put a vote in for The Atlantic in Rishton which is one of the last 'proper' chip shops in the area and is superb.
