Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Just a quick note to let everybody know that the Whalley Rd chippy opposite the Grey Horse pub has re-opened.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

We were discussing this earlier Jay, have you taken it over ?

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

No mate. Kate is working there helping to run it.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

I'd love to call in a chippy on a regular basis again, but what chance have I got? I live off B'burn Rd!

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

did you used to go to lister street chippy? IMO that was the best in town for a long time

he should be able to find a taxi quite easily especially if he looks on the footpath or the nearest zig-zag or double yellow lines

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Me too ... at least we have the Pilot House and the Rose and Crown ... R&C owned by a guy from Preston. But nowhere I can get double pudding, chips, and mushy peas.:mad: Food of the gods.:alright:

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Burnley Rd chippy still best in area!!

Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Not very hygienic, uses his fingers too much on the food and a few months ago I saw him use the temp probe on chicken then used it on a fish, didn't even give it a wipe.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

y

Well, as your name suggests, I think you are being a little 'picky'!!

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

I think risking Salmonella poisoning is a bit more serious than "being Picky"

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Been going there for 20 odd years, never a problem, can't understand why someone who may have been just once, (surely you wouldn't go a second time, after what you seem to have witnessed), can accuse the establishment of, perhaps, causing salmonella poisoning in the area. Surely, if there had been, the local press would have jumped on it!
Please feel free to post any links to back up your statement!

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

It wasn`t my first visit, been there many times, this was the first i`d seen him use one of these temperature probes though. I didn`t say he`d caused Salmonella poisoning but there is a very real risk by inserting a probe into patially cooked chicken and then into a fish.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

BTW, my favourite Chinese is Kwong Ming, & they cook in the back kitchen.......
they may very well 'finger the fish', etc., but I trust them to abide by hygene regulations, as we all must, whenever we go out to eat.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Just suggesting Salmonella as a 'risk' would imply to many people a distinct possibility, I think, in other circumstances, your post could be seen as libellous, unless you can back it up with some form of proof?
As I say, feel free to post any links to back up your argument.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

I would say something being "a risk" is implying that it could happen not a distinct possibility. Either way as someone selling food to the public he will have a basic food & hygiene certificate and should know better.
I will agree however that I may be treading on stoney ground as I have no proof and I doubt these posts will be around for long. http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/hippy.gif

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Kwong Ming don`t have fish on their menu do they?:confused:

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

i dont mind eating a fish thats been fingered but i draw the line at eating one thats been etcetered :eek:

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

I also don't use Burnley Rd chippy after watching the owner temp testing all kinds off stuff and then giving the probe a very brief wipe on his trousers! And that's not a one off.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

a fellow accywebber nearly got served up a phlem burger from an establishment near boozbusters in ossy when the person serving sneezed and dumped a long stringy dollop of mucas onto the food

to be fair to the guy he did pick out the chips with the goop on them and tried his best to clean off the burger bun before handing it over the counter

makes you wonder what they get away with when they are doing delivered food

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

lol does anyone remember the cake shop near the bottom of burnley road just up from the pub the boars head i think the pub was

they had an alsatian dog that was allowed to roam free in the kitchen and it wasnt unusual to find a stray dog hair in your custard pie

its only now it comes to mind that it could have had a lick as well

mind you them custards were good so somat was been done right i just dont really want to know what

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Yeh it was on the corner of Arnold St,;)

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

I wont mention the place(a butty shop) because I like them and honest mistakes do happen.

I was really enjoying the first couple of bites into my burger untill....

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Wasn't it called Noells?

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Perhaps when we were kids Dave? can't really remember,Seem to think it changed owners long ago?

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

What on earth is it?

Looks like ectoplasm. What did it taste like?:eek:

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

it looks like a dead leaf to me so if that is what it is i guess its their winter special ?

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Plastic from the cheese slice?

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

TADA! it was indeed plastic from the cheese slice

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

i remember that when the owners retired they shop shut it wasnt carried on as a buisness

it was empty for quite a long time infact it still may be

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

I would just like to update this thread.
I was the proprietor of Whalley Road Chippy from 2002 - 2009.
Then it was called Oaklea Chippy.
I had the Fish Fryers Quality award and a 5 star rating from the council.
I moved from Accrington in 2009 and been back there a few times since and obviously called in there when I was about.
I was recently back and called in to see who the new proprietors were as its changed hands so many times since.
On my previous visits, disappointed was an understatement, but this time i was astounded by the cleanliness and attention to detail that was in force by the 2 ladies that where running it. I spent an hour talking and comparing notes even down to what they use in their batter mix. That is a secret but believe it or not it was what I used.
They have a methodical cleaning process very similar to my own and source the best quality ingredients available.
Unfortunately they are tarred with the previous owners reputation, but in saying that so was I when I initially took over York Street chippy in 2000 and turned that round to the best chippy in Accy.
All I can say is I would highly recommend this chippy and would urge you to give them a try as I can assure you, these people are doing everything right and I will be patronising them on my next visit,

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

It is always good to know if a chippy is up to scratch.
Thank you Trev for that welcome information.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Sorry to put a damper on your chippy news Margaret, but, I used the chippy when the previous owner had it, no complaints fish n chips good with large portions. I have used it since the new people took over, ok at first but on the day I decided to take the Misses a fish back guess what, the Fish was dry and tasteless like it had been warmed up. Went back after about 3 weeks and ordered my usual fish&chips and told them of my previous purchase, reply was hope you enjoy these, I didn't, chips under cooked and greasy, or oily which ever you wish to call it. Ain't been back since and wont till the sign goes up under new management.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

That is sad. What a disappointment.
I don't have a chippy tea very often so it would really put me off to have such high hopes and have them dashed.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Best one I think is Burnley Road, he asks if you want fish on entering, & cooks to order, has such a good turnover that chips are always fresh, been going now for years, & we, daughter, son in law & 2 g'kids regularly have 'chippy tea every Friday',,,,,, it's now a family tradition, just like Sunday tea used to be!!

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

For me the best is on Union Rd Ossy, just before Civic Hall on opposite side, we used it at tea time and have around once a week for last 3 years, in fact a guy that used to come on accyweb, comes regular from Huncoat and swears by the fish, we agree with that sentiment.:)

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

Is that Perfect Plaice?

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
 

The Woodnook Fish bar has recently(in the last 12months) been taken over by two guys. They also cook your fish to order. I sometimes go there for Ma. He will cut the fish in two for me and batter the bits separately. This means that Ma can put one in her freezer and have it for her tea on another day.
They also do plate size cheese and onion pies....home made on the premises, you can have a slice of that with your chips. They do home made Dabs as well...you can tell they are home made as they are all different shapes and sizes.
So far it has been(according to Ma) very good.

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy

Re: Whalley Rd Chippy
