proper chippy

i had some more fish & chips the other night from a "propper chippy", which is a little shop that does fish & chips and other stuff and wraps them up in paper for ya. it's a lot greasier than what you'd get at pubs, and instead of paying for the location and sitting down to eat, this is something you'd bring home and then watch telly while eating.

it comes wrapped in paper, and you can see the oily goodness seeping through haha

for £5.50 i had the cod with chips, which isn't a bad deal at all.

they definitely give you a lot of food! the only thing about chippies (at least this one) is that they have the cod prepared ahead of time, and it's basically sitting there, baking under a heat lamp.. which isn't too appealing, but the fish still tasted quite good! i'd imagine if you went in earlier in the day you might feel a bit better, since they'd be sitting out for a shorter amount of time.

the fish was in a really good batter. yummmm.

it's not as crispy as it would be if you got it in a pub, especially since all the condensation would soften it anyway. i thought the chips were decent, but the batter made it all worth it.

this chippy boasts that Paul McCartney loves their stuff and has come in multiple times to get food; they even have an order named after him (:
